The first step is firing Hackett.There’s really not much to say. If Wilson was merely average, the Broncos would be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
I hope he turns it around, but this has the makings of the worst trade and worst contract in NFL history. Unthinkable preseason.
This was apparent from that Monday Night in Seattle. Anyone with a clue watching that game knew he was overmatched and this would be a disaster. Not like they even have their own pick so keeping him to tank makes no sense.The first step is firing Hackett.
Rams are looking to give the lions a higher pick than what the lions are slated to get right now. That is wild.That first round pick from Denver is going to be much higher than Seattle's own somehow. Would never have guessed that, but I hope Denver waits until next year to figure it out.
Shit if they average like a couple extra points per game they're sitting at 9-1 and on top of the AFC.There’s really not much to say. If Wilson was merely average, the Broncos would be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Hackett is a rookie head coach making a lot of dumb mistakes. Maybe he will be good once he learns from these mistakes, but... Wilson being awful makes this impossible to continue. Even if management and ownership love Hackett and think he has a bright future, we are seeing a terrible Russell Wilson with no signs of improvement. You have to fire him for no other reason than to see if anyone else can get more out of Wilson.The first step is firing Hackett.
They’ve scored only twice in the 20’s with 23 vs LV and 21 vs Jax. That is seriously bad.Shit if they average like a couple extra points per game they're sitting at 9-1 and on top of the AFC.
The DC definitely doesn't deserve blame. Their defense has done literally everything they could to win games. Patrick Surtain II has turned into a monster outside of getting torched by Adams on Sunday.They’ve scored only twice in the 20’s with 23 vs LV and 21 vs Jax. That is seriously bad.
No way to salvage anything this season. Think the entire staff gets fired. Up to new HC to decide if they want the DC and his group to stay.
I heard the horseshit about McDaniels and we see how much he learned since that abortion called a coaching tenure. Hackett is even a more inept play caller. He makes mistakes Madden AI wouldn’t.Hackett is a rookie head coach making a lot of dumb mistakes. Maybe he will be good once he learns from these mistakes, but...

Maybe no other coach or playbook gets Wilson back on track, but you have to find out. Wilson is on the roster for years to come, but the Broncos need to know if they need to be finding another guy to play QB.
But the DC may or may not want to work with the new HC. McVay hired wade philips to run the D when he got to LA without any past connections to him. McVay wanted to worry about the O and let wade to handle theD, would have to be that kind of situation most likely for the DC to return.The DC definitely doesn't deserve blame.

Better coach will help. But Russ needs to check his ego after this terrible season. Not about what he thinks he can do it’s about what he can do to help the team win. If that means rolling out vs staying in the pocket do it. Not about his legacy it’s about winning in the present. More team vs personal achievement.I refuse to believe Wilson can be that washed. Sure, you could criticize him last year but he still looked like he could be great. Until there's a chance in coaching, I'm going with this.

If he continues this downward trend for another 4 seasons i don’t see him being a first ballot HOF guy. That would be a big blow to his legacy.
Let’s ride!
Patrick was dunking all over him hahaRussell Wilson should just retire. Not just from football, but from life itself.
When you allow a cartoon character to clown on your dumb ass, you need to reevaluate your life.
The Watson deal isn't looking great either but I'd bet on Watson improving his play to a bigger degree than Wilson due to age.This has become an all time disaster
At least 2 seasons. They have to play the 2023 season with him as he is a $107 mill dead cap this off season. 2024 off season he is a $85 mill dead cap so they have to play the 2024 season with him. It’s a brutal dead cap but in 2025 he would be a $49.6 mill dead cap charge. So at a minimum he is a bronco for 2 years. $31.2 mill dead cap charge should they keep him for a 3rd year and cut him the following off season.Here's a question. How many seasons of crap play ( assuming he doesn't bounce back) would they have to endure until buying out that horrid contract would seem feasible without tanking their cap too bad? At least another 3?
