[@Crunchtime503]

Sean Payton said Nathaniel Hackett did the worst coaching job ever then took essentially the same team and won twice as many games. Now Payton is upping the ante and taking the QB (Zach Wilson) that Hackett could not get to produce, just to prove a point that Hackett is trash. 😂😂

[@hrebec97]

Really good analogy

[@antoniotrevino5785]

@@hrebec97didn’t Hackett go to Denver and beat the broncos? This roster is also worse than last season and guys coming back like Sutton are sitting out …

[@Sinistatnt]

Yup. This gives us an opportunity to test the waters with Zach Wilson & also if it doesn’t pan out; we can see this as a “Tank for Shadeur Sanders” kind of season. We go Offensive line or try for Bowers in this draft; perhaps pick up Rattler as another option to compete. If it doesn’t work out we should be in decent position for Sanders.

From being a New Yorker and just watching and reading stuff from various people I don’t like how Zach’s career turned out as the NFL and also the media have a BIG hand in ruining these young QB’s for sure! Zach had no offensive line, no separating receivers and not even a running game to help with pressure off of him or play action where his strength really lies! I hope he gets a chance to improve and then show out cause he got a raw start in the Jets!

[@johnfaris5376]

Zach had moments of brilliance in New York. I hope Sean Payton can bring those out of him in Denver and then he does well. Interesting experiment.

[@ianross806]

Glad that Zack Wilson can go to a team that will make the effort to revive his career. QBs should stop reporting to teams like the Jets that can't develop these players. Teams like the Jets are where careers go to die.

[@Drewswaggy]

If they don’t report, they don’t get paid….. this is a business at the end of the day. Most aren’t playing for a legacy. They need that money.

Yeah let’s put ALL the blame on the jets

[@legitdragon6202]

Nah at some point a dude is just a bust. He wasn't in greatest situation, but was never consistently good or great on his own either and contributed plenty to Jets being bad.

[@christopherjones2669]

Zach first game, in NFL, in Sept. 2021, on the road, against Carolina with top defense and Zach throws for 250 yards and 2TD's. He earned every penny that day. 3 wins in 2021 was wonderful in spite that Jets defense let Zach down in 2021, giving up 29 points per game. Zach throws better than Bo Nix and Penix Jr. and runs as good as Nix as well; so Zach still top 5 QB in any draft.

[@D_Corleone]

He is also a few months younger than penix and Bo👀

[@OutsidetheEchochamber]

Always assuming these rookie draft picks are way better than they probably are. I don’t see anyway a qb outside of the top 2 or 3 starts over Stidham or Wilson

[@user-zr4km5ns8t]

The media is too lazy to do 5 minutes worth of research & look up the fact that Payton ignored three rookie hotshot QBs in 2006 when he signed Brees instead. That was 2006 Brees...who most people thought was at the end of his career after a major shoulder injury only 3 months earlier & with one good year on his 5 year resume. In other words...Payton doesn't like rookie QBs, let alone having to draft one in the first round.

[@SunnyDarkness]

Why does the Broncos GM George Paton still have a job??

[@cesarelias3021]

I honestly don't have a clue...we are a laughing stock of a team

[@D_Corleone]

Because he has an eye for talent in the draft but as a Denver fan ill say his struggles are Contracting players and Signing old vets to big deals in free agency which hasn’t worked out for us but man, Ps2 Javonte, browning, Cooper were all players he drafted in his first year with denver (2021) turned out well for us

[@db212006]

Because he's great at drafting, He took a shot with Wilson. He swung on a vet QB. I don't think anyone really knew how shitty Russ was at QB and as a person, but the Seahawks. The biggest thing was the contract given to Russ. WHICH was forced by the owners not the GM. That's why he still has a job. Hope that answer's your question.

[@cesarelias3021]

Keep that same energy when we suck next year

[@jtm3182009]

I watched Zach highlights and he is not a bad qb just needs more development in his game. He have a strong arm and his accuracy is good too especially in college so Sean sees something within him so if we don't draft a qb this year, Zach will be the starter its crazy but what else can go wrong?

[@trentwise3762]

Well that’s what happens when you watch highlights. They show the best of the player. But in games he is making bad reads, bad decisions, throwing to absolutely no one.

[@91ericman]

Yeah I know Zach is a beast and he has swag and if you watch his lowlights some of them throws are good plays smart plays and also receivers dropping the pass I think this is perfect he gives his receivers opportunities to make plays by throwin 50/50's and takin chances that's the quarterback I want

[@MU-nf9tl]

[@user-iq6cc3df3l]

I’ve written it ad nauseum but I watched Zach Wilson’s Pro Day (PD) multiple times several years ago. It was mesmerizing. He really reminded me of Aaron Rodgers and from a passing perspective I can’t think of anyone who’s as close as Aaron, at least mechanically. At least Zach was but I think he lost his Mojo. But I’m really glad he was traded now because the clock was ticking. If he went another year in New York he was finished. Now it doesn’t mean I think Zach will succeed. But if he gets the support and encouragement he needs he MIGHT get his Mojo back. And if he does it could bd impressive. I’d put it at 3 to 1 though that he becomes a star only because of what’s happened. (I’m a Broncos Hater and I’m not really a Zach fan although I thought he was fun to watch a few years ago. So I don’t really have skin in this game.)

[@Sinistatnt]

Much respect

[@TheHighlanderprime]

Jets ruined him more so than him being bad. He’s really as bad as the Jets handled him. So it’s unfair to keep bullying him into the ground.

[@nnjjee1]

None of that matters. If he doesn’t have it between the ears (judgement, quick & correct decisions) it doesn’t matter

[@lonestarpatriot876]

Dead on. He had one of the best, if not the best, Pro Day I have ever seen out of a QB. He absolutely has tools in spades. Hopefully, Payton can get him straightened out.

[@andyprem]

Aaron Rogers .. are you high ?

[@charlespapineau5428]

I would love to see Payton revive Wilson's career just so the Jets would look foolish. I'm actually happy for the young man to get a new start in Denver. So the Jets have Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor on their roster now. Let's hope Aaron can produce this year while the hunt for the next franchise quarterback continues.

Love watching these guys have to cover and spin a story they said would "never" happen in someone trading for Wilson.

[@MichaelPierce-hd1ow]

I have been a long time Jets fan, who was completely delighted when the Jets drafted Zach Wilson. At the time Robert Salah said words to the effect of "You won't have to put the Jets on your back, we will do what we are supposed to." If only that actually occurred. 30 Years of pathetic Woody Johnson ownership in which Quarterbacks were NEVER developed properly, one regime after the next, with this the latest fiasco epitomizing the TOTAL lack of leadership he has consistently accomplished. Joe Douglas, a former OL himself, shouted out how the OL would be fixed when he arrived five years ago...NEVER happened. The OC's play calling: 1st Down run, 1yd. 2nd Down Run, another yard. 3rd and 8 Zach now you can throw... and here comes the D lineman with their ears pinned back through the porous OL... with Zach always running for his life. The Fans absorb all of this and howl Zach you SUCK! The Jet You Tube creators abandon all discernment in favor of pandering to the mob and their clicks. The National press get their cues on the short bus. When Zach had a pocket he made so many thrilling plays and throws and after everything else, absorbed more drops from the assorted lame ass receivers than damn near any other QB in football, not to mention endless boneheaded drive killing penalties from veterans and rookies alike. All of this as a 21 year old, 22 year old, 23 year old. As if Woody Johnson, Joe Douglas, Salah, the OC's and other coaches EVER accomplished anything near as much as Zach at that age. They all hid behind his skirts like the pansies they all are. Zach was by far the most likeable Jet, enduring intense negativity, holding his head high and soldiering on. Sean Payton has done far more than any of the incompetent Jet Management and Coaching Structure. Of all the QB's he could have pursued under the present Bronco circumstances, he has the Judgement and wisdom to see the wheat from the chaff. Zach will flourish with Sean Payton and the Broncos will have years of success with those two together.

[@mickepperson1187]

Yes.

[@enki4589]

The fact that Zach is only 24 and has that much experience...This guy is playdoe in Sean's hand!

[@tjbriggs303]

This doesn't effect our draft plans in my opinion. As a die-hard BRONCOS fan I really like this trade. Low risk and possible high reward. I'm not saying I'm a Zach Wilson fan. But, he was drafted # 2 for a reason. Gives Stidham competition and hopefully we can get rid of DeNucci and have a solid back-up for years to come.

[@mikeadamsfootball]

Zach Wilson hasn’t had a Top 10 Wide Receiver or a Top 19 Offensive Line in any of his 3 seasons. Zach Wilson has had 3 Different Offensive Coordinators in 3 Years. There is no reason to think that in a better situation Zach Wilson couldn’t be successful. That doesn’t mean he WILL be successful. But be open to the possibility. Geno Smith, Ryan Tannehill…it has happened before.

[@andyprem]

what about Garrett Wilson? and what do you think he will have in Denver ? coconuts

[@mikeadamsfootball]

@@andyprem Garrett Wilson hasn’t ranked in the top 10 yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Best he did was 2022 when he ranked at 15th. Last year the Broncos offense was 24th in receiving, Jets were 30th. Neither is great, but Broncos were better. Plus, Sean Payton > Robert Saleh. Let me put it this way, if Wilson can’t get it together in Denver, then he’s not going to be successful anywhere. But in Denver at least he’ll have a chance. He was never going to be successful with the Jets. I wish we would have got more than 4 plays of Aaron Rodgers last year, because I’m not convinced the season would have been that much better.

What if you are so good at your job as OC, you have 1 QB who consistently is top5 in every category and you just don't need a rookie QB? You can knock him for not finding Brees 2.0 but don't discount what he did because he never developed a rookie lol

I think so too, and that will be really fun to watch. It will be interesting to see the ramifications of the aftermath of the Russell Wilson contract play out as Bo Nix will be on a Rookie contract and Zach Wilson will now have an open market value that will probably force Denver to let him walk, even though he is their best QB, and some other franchise will be the long term beneficiary of Zach's resurgence.

Like Sam Darnold with the Jets before him, he was destined to fail in the Jet’s culture. Frankly, his appearance of looking like a 17 year old and not a rough and tough QB helped to create the sense that the Jets had handed the keys to their Ferrari to a spoiled brat.

Especially in a high profile position like a QB, all ego has to be erased. You must have no personality. You go in there, humbly, and be the general of the offense. Forget who you are and the storyline. If you lose, you blame nobody to the press. You just say that you need more practice. You take responsibility for the loss. You can’t have an ego. You play hard, and if you win, you say the O line, the defense and the whole team and coaches are the MVP’s. Play your hand close to the cuff. Do your best, play your heart out, and don’t give the media much to talk about. Maybe that was just too hard to do in New York as a young QB.

[@ortforshort7652]

The New York Jets are the worst organization, by far, in the NFL. And that's a high bar because there are some other really bad ones You will never, ever see an organization mismanage a highly talented young QB worse than the pathetic, putrid, inept, moronic, disfunctional Jets managed Zach Wilson. The kid can play. Sean Payton got a steal and with the team burdened by the departed Wilson's ridiculous dead cap space, this Wilson is a godsend. Meanwhile, Rogers will get hurt again in New York and be out for the season and the Jets will, once again, look like the complete assholes they've always been. The over-under is 4 snaps for Rodgers

Zach like John Elway should have nixed being drafted by the NY Jets which have a history of destroying QB's. As Elway refused to play for the Colts so Zach should have refused to play for a team with no front line, no running game, and horrific play calling with 3 offensive coordinators one out of high school. Even Tom Brady begged off playing one more year for these losers. Saleh is a defensive coordinator but as a head coach he sucks.

Perfect situation for memes, that's what you tried to say i guess

[@lordrayden3045]

Oh…. Isn’t simms the one that said Wilson was the best QB in the draft?

[@77smashmouth]

Don't want Denver to draft a qb this year. This team is horrible and needs lots if help. Take best player at 12 and finish top 3 next draft and get a qb then. This year has 1 good qb. The rest are at best back ups

[@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687]

The Jets will still be trash this year. They are 20 years away from being a SB contender. I trust the Lions to win a SB before the Jets.

And the Browns too

Zach Wilson and Trey lance have to be the happiest people ever that COVID happened They got,over Drafted / paid before people could recognize they sucked, although anyone with a Brian could figure out lance was gonna be a bust

[@darnell16player]

Lance is not a bust. 4 starts don’t dictate that at all. That’s not enough of a sample size for that label as much as people get too impatient in wanting the next Mahomes, Luck or Brady

From Russel Wilson to Zach Wilson lol

Sean Peyton is a QB guru? why because he traded for Drew Breeze? what QB has he engineered to some amazing career?

[@davidlee32]

Bridgewater did go 5-0 under him

[@DanielCalzacorta-ip2xe]

Payton is garbage

[@dylangoff2750]

Ummmm....drew Brees? PPL seem to forget that Brees didn't become Brees until payton got ahold of him. After his last season starting w/ SD, He was viewed as a fringe starter/elite QB2 at seasons end. He was far from a pro bowl qb. You wanna know how much Payton had to do with Brees success in the NFL? Look uo a video with someone asking Brees that question.

[@sauldemize9998]

@@dylangoff2750 Not true. Brees was injured and San Diego were able to Draft another QB top 10. That would be like saying Kubiac was responsible for Peyton Manning winning a superbowl in Denver. He traded for the only QB that was successful and drafted Zero QBs he developed.

[@dylangoff2750]

@@sauldemize9998 Man, I'm a Broncos fan and I watched those Charger teams because we're obviously in the same division....and im telling u....wasn't ANYBODY scared of drew Brees. We were scared of LaDainian Tomlinson. So go tell ur little fake story to someone who either isn't old enough to have watched, or just didn't pay attention. Because this guy did.

[@jsimmen1]

If you think that a Zach Wilson trade is smart then I have a Sam Donald that I would be willing to trade for a third round pick with a retired JaMarcus Russell that I would include for free as a QB coach on how to unf** Zach's life.

[@kenraddatz2128]

Here's the plan. Coach up Wilson, and do not draft a QB in 24. Broncos draft the best corner back at 12, and trade Patric Certain for 2 first round picks. Trade out of the first round in 1925 twice, acquiring an additional first , 2 seconds, and later picks. Use all the later picks to draft bpa, and have 4 first round choices to trade up for ARCH MANNING!!!!!

[@MichaelPierce-hd1ow]

4D Chess while others merely play checkers...completely Brilliant!!!

[@CJStew06]

Drew Brees was a quick processor who made fast decisions and threw accurate passes. Zach Wilson likes to hold the ball and drift around, and is erratic with his accuracy. There's basically no comparison.

[@kenyattaclay7666]

In his first three seasons Brees' completion percentage 58% and he threw 31 INTs. His lowest completion percentage once he got with Payton was 63% and he finished his career as a 70% completion rate. Zac Wilson has a completion percentage of 57% and has thrown 25 INTs after three seasons. 58% is not accurate and they basically had the same on the field issues in their first three seasons.

[@johnnyjj8633]

No way Sean Payton went and got this guy only to stick him at QB3 for two years…simms is so thick sometimes lol

[@lordrayden3045]

He thinks / thought Wilson was the best QB in that draft

[@bouji_]

How is Sean Payton a QB whisperer? Didn't he just run his QB out of town, while taking a 40 million dollar dead cap hit to do it?

[@jongray4828]

Bronco’s are going to regret making this trade! Z. Wilson is worse than Daniel Jones so here’s hoping Aaron Rodgers Achilles holds up!

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Will Zach be Sean Payton's Paysom ? HIll ? ... you know that "slot" guy he's always eluding to ? or is it just me?

[@Guyver_Master]

Zach Wilson was not the problem. Jets is the problem. Look what they did for Aaron Rodgers. A new o line and more. Stay away from New York if you're a QB.

[@kareemlyons3761]

😅😅

[@sbl9467]

Players make the Coaches look good. That's just the bottom line. Sean Peyton had Brees. Without Brees the saints sucked. Bellichick had Brady....patriots sucked immediately after Brady left. If these coaches are such "QB whisperers" why couldn't they do it with other QBs?? You cant change how a QB plays. He's been playing like he has since he was a kid. Cant make a running QB into a passer...it just wont work. Cant make a passing QB into a runner...etc.

[@jmpayne333]

Y’all better not write off the Nucc. Ben Dennucci is a baller. He’s almost a replica of Tony Romo with a coach that can help him maximize his talent.

[@jaycutty8697]

Why is Fields more accomplished? Because he can run and looks like a great KZbin QB? 😅

Lmao.

So they got the wrong Wilson last year 😂😂😂 yah’ll a joke

[@jessebartlett3637]

These guys are idiots. Sean Payton coached a hall of fame quarterback in Brees and who the hell else has he developed that amounted to anything?
