Rangers9 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Btw Denver had until this Thursday to pick up Zach's 5th year option which would have cost them over 22 million. As expected they declined so he'll be a free agent in '25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else has their QB1-3 slots filled bruh. Take a team like, say, the Browns. They could lose Watson to a catastrophic injury tomorrow and they’d still have Winston, Tyler Huntley and Dorian Thompson-Robinson filling out the depth chart. Meanwhile, guys like Will Grier, Jaren Hall, Jake Fromm and Kellen Mond, all of which who are probably no worse than Zach, are all currently QB4s.

Rangers9 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Zach finally goes to a situation where he's not given the job there will be a QB competition. And he won't be at the top of the list the player Denver will have the most invested in is their first round pick so if any favoritism it will be in his favor. Just the way it was for Zach 3 years ago. But to Zach's advantage he'll go to an org with better coaching and offensive strategy and one of the top HCs on the O side. I have no doubt that Payton will play him if he wins a job and he'll have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing you forgot to mention, Zach Wilson is a terrible QB and won't win the competition and therefore will be unemployed likely by the time the season starts. Other than that, again, great post! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw Zach's last start he was AFC Player of the Week. So he's not a total bust. And Payton feels he has talent not enough talent to pay him 22 million but he'll have I think a fair shot to make their team. To say he has zero chance and basically should hang them up at this stage of his career is a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Reported this morning on NFL Radio, as likely expected by one and all here, that Denver has declined the 5th year option on Zach Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Flicking Frank Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 On 4/30/2024 at 9:23 AM, Warfish said: In my view, one of the Jets problems the past 15 or so years is we draft a QB when we shouldn't, and don't draft one when we should (we often led to then drafting one when we shouldn't). Passing in 2017 because they really liked the 2018 class is an example. Of course, we also just flat out draft the wrong QB's too. This is just another in a long list of symptoms of a regime that has no idea what they are doing with the QB position. We have thousands and thousands of posts about how bad ZW sucks, yet very very few on the regimes that are the culprit in the real problem. ZW is gone and we still harp on ZW and let the clowns in charge carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he not a total bust? He's on his 4th team and the Vikings traded up for a QB just so they'll only see him hit the field for as minimal a time as possible this year. And Darnold was better than Zach Wilson here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The Panthers traded a 2 and a 4 for Darnold and handed him the 5th year option. The Broncos traded a 6th for Zach and a 7th and declined the option. This is what a learning curve looks like, folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 This thread lay dormant for a couple days, then something changed on Tuesday. What was it?

Alka Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 7 minutes ago, Warfish said: Denver officially declined his 5th year option today, which is news Of course it is news! No doubt about it! But it is expected news, since picking up Zach's 5th year option would amount to over $22M dollars. This, for a guy who will be fighting for a spot on the team. Had the Broncos picked up Zach's 5th year option, it would have made Headlines around the country!! Because it would have been one of the stupidest decisions made by a team in a very long time!

I edited that post before you replied, so I do you hope go back one page and take a look. I have no problem with people having a discussion about anything they want to discuss, no matter how I may come off (blanket apologies for that). The problem I have is when some poster(s) just wants to get under people’s skin for their own amusement. Let’s push this guy ‘til he breaks, haha. Some good natured ribbing is fun and expected and I enjoy taking part in that myself, but when the intent is to be compulsively and repetitively insulting in search of a reaction, then my moderation duties (such as they are) might come into play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
