Payton does like his basic white midget QBs to make him look good 

I mean, I wouldn't call Brees basic. 

I don't think Payton likes Russell's fake persona and bologna (that's how I see it at least).   He walked into Denver and basically told Wilson to stop being whatever he is.   He was always annoyed with Wilson from day 1. Probably the contrast in what Wilson is selling vs Payton.  It's not about play.  Wilson has been playing well.  I think Brees essentially was an echo of Payton's vision and leadership.  Russell brings his own style that is just unique to him.  Which I can get people just not liking Wilson.  He might not be but he does come off as fake and annoying.

I read they asked him to restructure his deal weeks ago, he was shocked and no deal could be reached so they moved on to plan b, sounds like he’s gone in March.

Wilson and Payton we're always predicted to be a poor match, but it had to do with system fit and personality, not skin color.

There's apparently a rumor now that Wilson could wind up joining Bill Belichick next season, and Lord have mercy would I want to see the "Hard Knocks" style video of that 😄

The whole "oh, it's just about money" thing is a pretty dumb argument.

If they believed he was the guy they could build a consistent winner around, they wouldn't give a sh-t about that stuff.

Wilson is being benched because he's not good enough.

Not good enough for that contract but not bad at all

I'm not sure anybody's good enough for that contract. But what's probably more relevant is that he's not a good fit for Sean Payton's system at all.

Payton runs a very buttoned down, rigid system whereas most of Wilson's best plays come from off platform improvisation.

Those two were never a good match.

Wilson thrived in a run heavy offense while using his athleticism to by time and make plays in the passing game.  I never really saw he get beyond his first read so its no surprise that with that athleticism fading and still not running through progressions he's getting benched in hopes another QB can run the offense more traditionally.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
