Here's my stance on all of this. Until you can draft and develop the next guy, and until you get to the point that you'll save money by cutting Russ, you may as well just stay with him. There aren't going to be any hall-of-fame free agents available over the next few years. The Broncos would be foolish...

Well, they can still bench Wilson. Nothing is preventing Payton from doing that. But that certainly won't happen while the Broncos are mathematically in it.

But there's no diamond in the rough or star in the making with Stidham, so this idea that we can turn to him and see something better...

[mojo0730]

You're right.

Have a great day....

By your logic, Paton's decision to trade Lock away and re-sign Wilson discredits your comments about Wilson....

[mojo0730]

Boy, you REALLY love Drew Lock and REALLY hate Russell Wilson. It permeates in your posts.

More power to you friend. It's just wasted energy to me....

[mojo0730]

But you are comparing the two because you're bringing Drew Lock into this when they're not comparable.

Drew Lock sucks. They were never going to develop him into an elite or even above average quarterback, hence why he's riding the bench in Seattle.

Russell Wilson up until...

Again, if you want to get into the Lock versus Wilson discussion, knock yourself out. I'm not doing it....

[mojo0730]

I don't think anyone is excusing the results. I think most everyone agrees it needs to be better, Wilson definitely included.

But he is now in his third offense in three seasons. And he is playing better, hence the Broncos being the highest scoring team per possession this season so far....

I'm not getting into a Lock versus Wilson comparison. If you want to do that, knock yourself out....

[mojo0730]

To be fair, it's been noted by credible analysts that out wide receivers suck. That is plain as day with Sutton....

[mojo0730]

Again, I've been a Broncos fan for over 30 years. It never fails that fans always want the previous guy, or the next guy.

There is nothing special about Drew Lock. That has to be clear to fans after this many seasons....

[mojo0730]

Holy cow, we're comparing Drew Lock to Russell Wilson??

Look friend, I've made a pretty rational argument but if you're going to fall back on "well he's the quarterback it's his fault" and bringing Drew Lock into this...then there's nothing more to say. So let's just agree to...

[mojo0730]

I'm fine calling Wilson out on his performance, although I strongly feel that he's playing much better so far this season than at any point last year. But it's still not good enough and the rest of the players certainly aren't stepping up either (except Mims).

But coaching and playcalling?...

No one is arguing that it's been good enough. But I think fans were fooling themselves in thinking one player was going to solve this team's plethora of issues. Just like I think fans now are fooling themselves into thinking it's all Wilson's fault or somehow we'd be better off with Stidham.

[mojo0730]

There is no evidence that Wilson has that kind of sway. Fans that want to believe that choose to because it makes it easier for them to blame Wilson than to look at this team's overall problems....

[mojo0730]

It may also have been the league's requirements in hiring diverse candidates....

[mojo0730]

He also was a contributor to 3 of our 4 touchdowns yesterday, the defense allowed 100% touchdowns in the redzone, and we didn't force a single turnover. Not to mention our inability to consistently run the ball (or at least stay with it).

But again, I get it. Fans are going to blame Russ...

[mojo0730]

But we as free-minded and free-willed individuals can look beyond the mob mentality that it's always the quarterback when we lose and always the quarterback when we win, and view things from a logical, objective perspective....
