Errrr... never mind.

People are focused on Lock like it's hilarious, but cutesy jokes about Lock ignore the fact that Denver gave up a ton to get a declining QB.

Great QBs dont grow on trees, the nfl model now is, get the qb right and you have a chance at the end. The problem I see with this trade is when you go all in, its not sustainable and the crash and burn could be very bad for denver if Russ doesnt elevate them. I see this as a 2 year superbowl or bust window.

I'm not a diehard Bronco fan, but I would have rather seen them draft Kenny Pickett. Just because Elway drafted 6'8" power forward QBs who couldn't play dead in a Western, that doesn't mean you can't draft and develop a QB.

Agree, especially if Pete Carroll sees RW's legs going away with age, his value as a pure drop back passer is way way lower.

Russell Wilson gives Denver a solid starting option at QB for the next 6-7 years...he's a proven commodity...give me a 1st ballot HOF QB for picks any day of the week, especially when you have a roster that has the pieces that Denver does. KC may still be the favorite in the West (and maybe even the Chargers are ahead of the Broncos as well) but I feel a helluva lot better as a Broncos fan about getting back to the playoffs now than I did before today. Hackett and Wilson should be a fun duo to watch

6 or 7 years. Come on man. He is on the back end of his career.

Wilson only has 2 years left on his contract right now

He’s 33…he’s stated he intends to play into his 40s…last season was his first time ever missing games with injuries…it’s not like he’s damaged goods

Denver media is guzzling the Kool Aid with a funnel and hose. You would think the Broncos just grabbed Mahomes out of the transfer portal.

Rodgers really had no choice but to stay in the NFC. It's basically the JV league compared to the AFC
