I’m not sure I follow that really.

Damn...Donks could have had Ryan for a 3rd ...and forced Atlanta to eat his salary.
Look at the stats....Dornks are going to Dornk. Wilson's name brand is definitely worth two entire drafts/seven players... Last edited by BlackOp; 03-21-2022 at 09:38 PM.. |

What's funny about those stats?
I mean it's funny to me...Ryan has been a League MVP since Wilson was relevant. Is the rationalization that Wilson just had bad coaching and an inferior team? The same could be said for Ryan...they both did well when they had a solid supporting cast. Ryan has put up better numbers every season in the past 5 years.... Trust me...I'm happy the way things played out...had the Donks got Ryan for essentially nothing, they could have continued to build their roster, draft a top QB and develop him. It'll be interesting to see who becomes the better team...Colts/Donks. BTW, who is the Doinks backup QB....that's not a cheap position to fill. One of the hidden costs of the trade....You haven't had a healthy QB for an entire season since before Manning retired. Last edited by BlackOp; 03-22-2022 at 03:40 AM.. |

While I do agree that the Broncos got fleeced, I do not agree with the argument that Ryan=Wilson based on pct and yds. Look at the attempts from Ryan vs. Wilson’s. Compare td’s, Wilson scores more than Ryan. So while their yds and pct are similar, Wilson is doing more on less attempts than Ryan.

Only if you think Ryan is more than a stats QB… he’s not clutch.

There's more upside with Wilson over Ryan in the short term. It's about whether there's more long-term upside with Ryan and a drafted QB than there is with Wilson. Gotta think about that ceiling. Of course, Wilson has a ring so we know the ceiling is high but is that really Wilson now or does that guy really no longer exist? |

And FWIW, I'm not a Matt Ryan fan. I think he's a compiler, a game manager, albeit a good one.
I don't think either of them (Ryan or Wilson) are the long-term answer. And by trading for Wilson, they've essentially married themselves to the idea that he is. |

Stats are stats... they don't tell the whole story, esp with QBs. Ryan has the most passing yards since 2015 - anyone here think that matters really compared to the others in the top 10 on this list? https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/who...rds-since-2015 Ryan is 6th on passing TDs in that timeframe. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/who...tds-since-2015 Ryan is 7th in wins. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/whi...ins-since-2015 Denver, by most accounts outside of this site, made the right move with trading for Wilson. They gave up players that are not hard to replace and giving up the top 2 picks in the next 2 drafts will not cripple the Broncos. In 2022, Denver has 9 picks - still have a R2 and believe it's 4 in the top 5 rounds. So, they have the ability to acquire young playmakers and they can trade up if someone they really like (say a QB) is there in the 40-50 range. By all accounts, few expect much from this QB class. Ideally, as I said before all the issues hit, I would have been a fan of them trading for Watson and whatever that cost was... but, I think there's just too much baggage there right now. Good luck to CLE. Hell, I think there are a few here that would say Denver would have been better off waiting and get either JG or Baker cheap. At the end of the day, Russell Wilson still has a 4-6 years in him at this pace and considering the older age at which QBs are playing. 2021 was his worst year and the worst overall for SEA in the last decade. Is that a sign that Wilson is declining or done? I like the odds that he is not declining nor is he done. And, if Denver only has Wilson at a top 10 level for 5 years - so be it. There will be other QBs. Right now, the 2023 draft is the only area where they were weakened and that's just one draft. They have done a much better job in recent years with their selections and believe they should do well in 2022. Denver has a young team with lots of talent, now they have a QB with proven consistency and Wilson should have success with them offensively. Acquiring a Ryan, Baker, JG or similar would have been a continuation of what Denver has done since 2016. They were smart and jumped out on the Wilson opportunity quick. Good luck to Ryan and all the rest...

Denver signed Josh Johnson as a backup a few days ago... JAG signing. I would expect them to use a pick on a QB.

Did it ever cross your mind that signing Wilson had as much to do with boosting the asking price for the Donk franchise?
I'm sure a name brand QB will increase the price by a few hundred million.... From that vantage, the fleece-job trade makes more pragmatic business sense. Whats a handful of picks matter when you can gain a few hundred million and ownership can walk away. Last edited by BlackOp; 03-22-2022 at 12:07 PM.. |
