You see the carolina panthers even with the least talent are not in the worst team situation. Denver, cleveland, and maybe arizona are worse than the panthers. If not for herbo in LA Id say Spanos makes them worse than panthers&tepper.

 

I would think that Arizona is in decent shape.  They have some cap space next year, and they are in good shape draft wise.  Kyler Murray may not be the next Pat Mahomes, but he might have a lot of talent around him.

I think they’re a sleeper next year. Kyler looks good again, McBride is gonna be an all star. Draft Harrison Jr. or trade back and get picks to use on defense. Could be pretty good next year

All true. The one deciding factor in this- Bidwill is a worse owner than tepper.

I have seen more than few rumors about murray on the trade block this off-season. I believe if not for his injury, the market would have been hot during the trade deadline. That contract is super scary too.

Yikes this story is getting nastier by the day. Russ just spoke to the media.

 

Apparently Payton never wanted Russ from the start. They approached him after a win vs the Chiefs in which they were in the playoff hunt. They asked him to take a paycut or else he would not be the starter.

 

That's some shady/evil stuff. Fug Sean Payton! This dude is going to get exposed in due time.

Sounds like the Front Office made the call - they wanted him to remove the injury guarantee clause.  Said he’d be benched if he didn’t.  That was back in October.

Now Payton is back-tracking so who knows, but its definitely smelling fishy in Denver.

Why are they asking him to remove a clause in the middle of a playoff run?

 

Seems like they just wanted to get out from under Russ even if they were winning. Kind of sad honestly. Imagine playing good football beating the Chiefs and after the game they hit you with this.

Sketch city.  For the front office to say that to him - and then follow up on it - WHOA.

And then for Russ to come out and speak publicly about it.  This is all a really shady situation.  Prepare to hear about it constantly the rest of the season.

Hopefully the Broncos get dump trucked the two games that Wilson misses and Stidham shits the bed hard.

That's a win-win as the fanbase will turn on each other over the Wilson/Payton feud.

I found a Broncos message board if anyone is interested.  And yes, it is as bad as I suspected.  That fanbase is losing their minds right now… 🙃

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
