There were people on this board who were not for Hackett before the Rhule hiring 

whoever made the Wilson decision is the culprit 

Wilson has never been a system Qb, he is improvisation, not precision

hackett is precision.  Rodgers greater than Wilson  

Hackett has also struggled at just about every non-Green Bay stop(save for one out of three years in Jacksonville).

I think people gave Hackett way too much credit for something he deserved very little of in Green Bay.

I think Wilks is too smart to want to jump into that mess.

I'd hope so, but if that's the best offer he has as a head coach and there's a pile of money there, he should take it. 

They've got a lot to work with on the field as it stands now. The cupboard is a bit bare for down the road, but the Broncos are a team that needs motivation and cohesion more than anything. Wilks can provide that with room to spare. He could go a long way just by simply finding the right guy to work out a game plan that Wilson can make good use of.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Payton had this to say when asked about Wilson’s pronounced struggles in 2022: “Well, there’s a lot of things that they’re not doing well, and there’s probably a lot of mud on a lot of people’s hands, including himself.”

That doesn’t exactly sound like someone who is chomping at the bit to coach a 34-year-old quarterback who bears little resemblance, at least right now, to the worthy NFC adversary Wilson was to Payton’s Saints during the quarterback’s days in Seattle.

Because the Saints own Payton’s rights through 2024, a team wanting to hire Payton would likely have to surrender draft compensation.

Do the Broncos even have enough draft picks left to do something like that?

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
