The media just glosses over these real roster deficiencies...like they dont exist.
Wilson isnt Rodgers...he isn't going to turn some #4 WR into a household name.
This Donk experiment is definitely interesting... as it flies in the face of everything I've observed in 40+ years of watching football.
New QB (expensive), new scheme, unproven coaching, trading away current and future assets from an already sub-standard roster...hoping and praying your skill positions do something they haven't so far. Ignoring your poor pass-protecting OL...while acquiring an aging QB...who's previous success was predicated on buying time.
I view the sum of all these maneuvers having about a 10% chance of success....the Manning thing worked because they didn't have to give up 7 players. This Denver team is in much worse shape too...
That pre-season game answered a lot questions about the new coaching staff...IMO. It's going to take more than a few weeks of training camp to get this team up and running...if it ever does.
