I wonder if Payton can make Russell Wilson run well again. Best of luck!

At this point I'm just happy to have a proven coach and adult in charge. I'm sure the next season will still be rough at times but the arrow will still trend upwards. Hopefully leading to deep playoff runs after a year or two.

I'm looking at Russ and just taking this past year as a Mulligan. I believe savvy football fans know that Wilson is waaaaay better than what we saw this season.

He coached the Saints to great records with the corpse of Drew Brees at QB. But those Saints teams had some great supporting talent that the Broncos just don't. Fascinating decision on his part.

Sean is interviewing with Broncos, Arizona, and Carolina
to
Sean is going with Arizona, he's clashing with Denver's ownership

Well, they don't have a first or second rounder this year... but they do starting next year.  So I presume it'll be a 2024 pick.

/3 years in a row without a first round pick.  Good job guys!

To be fair once Hack-its stench wafted away the Broncos were markedly improved. They ended the season seemingly playing decent football.

They have a first round pick they got from the Dolphins in the Bradley Chub trade. Or I should say had since that now belongs to the Saints. ESPN said a2nd next year as well, and the Saints are sending back a 3rd next year.

Ftfa:

The trade puts the Saints back into the first round of the 2023 draft. New Orleans had traded its 2023 selection to the Philadelphia Eagles in a draft picks trade last year

let's just see how that trade went:
The Eagles traded the No. 16 overall pick, No. 19 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for the No. 18 overall pick, a 2022 third-round pick, a 2022 seventh-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick.

So it's a wash for 18 and 19, so basically #16 and #194 for what became #101 and #237, #10 this year, and likely a pick in the 30s next year, to a team that's going to the f*cking Super Bowl.

That pick was the 49ers pick sent to Miami for the trade that led to SF drafting Trey Lance.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that the broncos could've just hired Payton since he was under contract. Surely tho, there was someone else they could have gotten without giving away critical draft picks that Russ needed to "cook"?

Belichick too, after he quit on the Jets after 1-2 days.  the Jets were pissed, and the Patriots grudgingly sent a few picks to the Jets in exchange for Bill's rights.

Cardinals Twitter is bemoaning how we flirted with Payton for 2 days but were spurned.  I say no loss.  AFter Brees quit NO, Payton became a pretty unremarkable offensive genius.  Denver paid a pretty steep price for him and Arizona has way too many needs at multiple positions. it isn't just the #1 pick overall, it is the third pick in the draft, AZ's #1.  Payton for some reason was being made into Belichick v2.0 so I say get over it.

Yeah, I wouldn't be too excited for a retread/rehire like Payton...

Then again, I'm tired of those hours due to Ron and want someone "new" and/or "young'ish"...

/Best of luck to the Broncos

Aaron Rodgers has MULTIPLE MVPS without Mike McCarthy. He has had a f*cking STACKED Dallas team and hasn't made the farking conference final. Drew Brees what, maybe made a Pro Bowl without Sean? The guy was cast off by SD and Miami wouldn't take him because of his shoulder, and Payton made him an MVP and Super Bowl champion.  Come the actual fark on with this BS, comparing the two.

Payton made Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, and that TE named Hill look competent at quarterback. Look how successful they've been without him.

Way I see it both underperformed with HoF quarterbacks. One Super Bowl win each, similar records, and both had their best season over a decade ago.
