So what does Denver do for QB? They won't have the ammo to trade up in the draft. Are they counting on the trade compensation for Wilson?

Who even trades for Wilson?

Actually going to the playoffs would be the worse outcome for the Broncos who have no hope of winning poo poo and need the best draft pick they can get.

The Broncos are 11th in the AFC and just lost to the 3 win Pats, they aren’t making the playoffs.

The Raiders very recently lost a game 3-0 and barely won a game 2 days ago where the QB didn't complete a single goddamn pass after the first quarter and you don't see them literally giving up with a non zero chance of getting a playoff berth. Defending the Broncos decision to do this is absolutely mind blowing because not too long ago Denver was considered a hot team by a lot of people.

All this does is reinforce my hatred of the Broncos as being a weak baby bitch organization so it's whatever

I remember making some super-bitter post here during Russ’s early prime about how much I was looking forward to five years later when Russ lost a step, all the dancing around and scrambling stopped working, and he just got constantly blown up instead of making the opposing LBs look like idiots.

My timeline was a little optimistic, but it’s finally happened. Alas, he’s not on the Seahawks anymore so it’s not quite as satisfying as it could have been.

Russ is cooked but he seems like he's been an ok game manager and has a made a few plays when he really needed to. He'd be a great option as a back up next year if he wasn't also Russ Wilson

Remember when everyone thought the Broncos were going to be a power house once Russ joined the team? Similarly remember when everyone thought the AFCW was going to be the dominant division because they had the "Best" QB roster with Mahomes, Herbert, Wilson, Carr?

Also remember how everyone though Payton was going to turn things around?

It's funny how bad some of fairly average takes at the time seem a couple years later.

The division had an arms race that off-season and, on paper at least, every team looked to be pretty drat solid. But yeah, it all went to poo poo very quickly, lol.

In all honesty, I think the vibes with Russ are beyond awful, but simultaneously I look at what he's done in positive scripts this year and suspect he could probably out Flacco what Flacco is doing right now.

Also nearly giving away a possession by saying that he wanted the defense on the field rather than deferring. Fortunately the refs let the actual captains give the choice rather than Alexander.

Sean Payton has turned things around. There are roster deficiencies that have to be addressed but Denver was one of the worst teams in the league this year and now they’re solidly mediocre with a chance to get off the Wilson deal next year if they’re lucky.

The odds start off at 3% per https://www.ftnfantasy.com/articles/FTN/104089/dvoa-playoff-odds . Maybe they go down to 2% with replacement-level QB play. Maybe Stidham is better than replacement level.

TD rate is Russ's best stat this year, and it's boosted by a half dozen "gently caress it Courtland is down there somewhere" throws that ended as amazing catches. In net yards per attempt (basically yards per attempt with sacks included, and you have to include sacks when you're evaluating Russ) is a career-low 5.72. He's been better than last year but still inconsistent and sack-prone, running an offense that is clearly designed to hide his weaknesses.

He's been average overall and there are few prospects for him getting any better.

It's probably an impulsive decision, perhaps a little premature. But you're trading a sliver of a chance to be the 7th seed, to prevent a sliver of a chance that Russ gets injured and puts a huge cap burden on your team for 2025. So I'm not mad.

He wasn't appointed as captain and went out onto the field anyway. Like Mike Wahle said, that's indicative of some serious locker room issues going on below the surface.

Hot Diggity! posted:

Between Campbell saying he refuses to play through injury anymore because he got (unfairly, he feels) blamed for his performance while injured, Jaire pulling that stunt, Jaire obliquely referencing seemingly the same thing Campbell was ("I could've been better" even though he was also playing through injury makes it kinda sound like Barry has been blaming players for defensive breakdowns), Quay Walker/Stokes/etc all saying odd things about team meetings, and Rasul Douglas getting suddenly traded after meeting with players in the locker room (the Bills offer was a good one but I don't believe Gutey for a second that that was the only consideration going into the trade)...

Barry really needs to go. Pronto.

With the Flaccosance underway & the Browns having an actual shot at the playoffs, I started thinking about cursed teams.

In 2016 the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, breaking their 107-year drought. The trade off? :chaostrump:

With 2024 having another presidential election, if you are a Browns fan would you be willing to have :trumppop: back in office if it meant another Super Bowl win?

Did he turn it around or did they just get healthy/lucky for a string of wins and now have regressed to the mean of being lovely? Depends on who the chargers/raiders hire for coaches but the broncos seem like a favorite for last place in their division next year
