@@alissaferge2775 I'm always amused when some rando social media user starts opining about the intelligence level of someone they've never met who has accomplished more than they have in life. I'm pretty sure you don't know whether Mike McCarthy is smart as a tack or dumb as a stump. Also...Payton was not determined to have been helping run bounty gate, he was disciplined because Goodell thought he should have known about it. BTW...there have been multiple teams across the NFL doing that for years but they simply weren't caught.

[@jonaswaltman7359]

To all that clowns Bronco fans. Zach was highly praised by Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers said he works and trains really hard. Zach doesn't stink. It was that O-line that let him down. Kinda like the same o-line that let Mike White getting hurt and Aaron Rodgers hurt as well. At least the Broncos O-line is way better then that old Jets O-line. I think this is a fresh new start for this young man and having at least 4 good weapons than having only wideout Wilson and runningback Hall. An add other speedy wideout from the draft. Because Zach isnt big and tall but he has one hell of a arm to launch 70 to 80 yards.

Hey Hawk, off topic here what’s the name of the cigars you smoking.?

Unpopular opinion but Zach wasn’t the reason he didn’t have success with the Jets. A new start would’ve been good for him on literally any other team.

[@legitdragon6202]

I mean he didn't help any and was pretty garbage on his own too, it doesn't have to be either/or 😂

[@billyd78]

He was too inconsistent and lost plenty of games on his own. Yes the oline was bad, but so was he. His accuracy was abysmal, especially on the short throws. Would he have been better on a better team? Most likely a little bit. But great QB's elevate everyone around them. Ps the backups when replacing Zach routinely were better with maybe one exception. They were playing with the same roster, and had almost no reps.

As a Broncos fan I've always loved Zach Wilson, but at this point 90% of that is because of bias to BYU. At least he's young and we didn't give up too much. The worst news is the new uniforms (great reveal trailer though). I will say that he looked okay last year considering he had a dreadful OL and Hackett as his OC. I'm just happy we have some hope.

[@Warthogg-wv5wg]

Sucks for all the teams that thought they were getting PS2😂

[@user-zr4km5ns8t]

There is still a good chance we trade PSII, probably over 50%. A proposed PSII trade would not have been made to a team drafting high enough that they could get us a pick in the top 4. That trade would be made to a contender, a team like the Bengals, Rams or Eagles. The Jags got two #1 picks & a #4 for Jalen Ramsey. Surtain would probably return a #3 instead since he's a year younger & not a locker room problem like Ramsey was. If Denver is looking to trade PSII, they might be trying to draft Quinyon Mitchell at #12.
