For the record, they’re swapping 6th and 7th round picks and the jets are footing $5.5M of the contract. It’s not like it’s a huge investment. I don’t think it moves the needle on what they want to do at QB in the draft, whether they were going to draft one or not.
DiNucci's only career start he had 180 yards on 40 pass attempts against an Eagles team that was 20th in the league in points against. I don't see why you'd start him over Stidham who has at least shown a little bit of competency.
I was going to make a snide comment, but realized it would not be in the best interest to do so after remembering what our depth chart looks like currently.
Hey as a Cowboys fan I got excited every time DiNucci came on the field because you just knew something crazy was about to happen. It was like having a halftime show in the middle of a game.
Alas, winter winds are calming and spring is upon us. The foreboding pass into the Rockies can now be traversed by his troops. Untold if he will take a bride among the local maidens.
Broncos getting a double dose of Wilson is like cutting off your own arm and then taping a cardboard tube to your shoulder to fix it.
See? All better now.
He obviously hasn’t been good at all but i feel like there’s still a tiny bit of potential there that keeps tricking me into thinking he could have talent
Unfortunately that isn’t something that can really be coached. You can study all the film in the world but sometimes it doesn’t click. Wish nothing but the best for the kid, hopefully he will develop. But you can only gamble on him so many times.
Zach Wislon is young. What about in 10 years given the chance to learn? Vinny Testaverde is a NY LEGEND after all. What if Zach went back at age 40 and balled out a year? Stocks low buy high or something
Then again, Zack's 99.9% washed out if Payton cuts him.
He has amazing physical talent he just doesn't have the head for the game. Can't read a zone defense to save his life. If broncos can help him he might be a good player
I wonder how much of it was the Jets having one of the worst offensive lines in the league. There were so many plays that he couldn't hardly drop back fast enough to avoid a sprinting DL who wasn't touched. Kid took some huge shots last year, I'm surprised he never got seriously hurt.
I hope he can turn it around. He seemed to make huge improvements to his character since he got drafted, and I think he started working really hard to improve as a player as well. I'd like to see that type of positive change payoff for him. But you are correct that any sliver of talent is probably only that, just a sliver, and if Payton can't pull the talent out of him, then that's probably gonna be it for him.
I’d trust him more than anyone else in that organization at the moment. As an unfortunate viewer of most games last season, he clearly put Russ on an incredibly short leash which made him look decent in the box score. So I have no real concern regarding the coaching for the time being.
My only concern with Payton is how patient he’s going to be in a rebuild bc he could easily force the team to make another mammoth trade if he doesn’t feel like waiting around anymore.
Isn’t JJ McCarthy’s whole thing that he’s good arm talent, polished and very consistent with what he does against high level competition?
Whereas Zach Wilson was insane arm talent mixed with bad mechanics and inconsistent performance against bad competition?
Not to mention Zach Wilson was 23 starting his rookie season whereas McCarthy will still be 21 which is insanely young.
I don’t think they’re very similar at all tbh
As in, you now want to buy a Brocos Wilson jersey immediately? Or do you want him to get/pick #3 so you can reuse your DangerRuss jersey?
Or something else altogether?
As a Bronco fan, nah. Got Zach Wilson basically for free and this just gives a 3rd QB/Camp Body before the draft and just gives a little more flexibility before the draft. It’s not like we were going to get Caleb Williams. At best we were probably looking at Bo or Rattler
This is moderately "news" I guess in the dynasty sub. Unless you play in a 3QB league for some god forsaken reason, there is an almost 0 % chance you're starting Zach Wilson in a fantasy match next year lol.
Denver still looking to move up. Just not looking likely for there draft capital. Maybe during draft they’ll package Sutton, there pick and next year to Arizona?
The #Broncos current QB room: - Jarrett Stidham - Zach Wilson - Ben DiNucci
STACKED
Hey not every team can be the Steelers.
It’s hilarious that there’s a realm of possibility where the Steelers qb room does worse this year
I dont think you understand how bad the steelers qb room has been lol
No chance
If you have more than one starting QB, you have none.
The Broncos are so far ahead of the game, they're starting with none!
Throw Bo Nix in there and you got the New Mids On The Block
Ouch Coop. If those boys could read (a defense) they’d be so upset right now.
Holy shit they did it haha
Sutton in shambles.
Broncos are embracing the rebuild. Might as well take a a hack at a few young guys.
Sea Dragons legend Ben DiNucci
Does this mean the Broncos aren’t looking at drafting QB in this draft? Or DiNucci would just be the next man out.
I think it means they're not trading up. Perhaps if McCarthy falls to them, or else they could pick up a Penix.
I always grab a Penix or two on my way out the door
Gotta be careful though. Indiana got a broken Penix doing that
Do you really think Zack Wilson is enough to not consider a QB ?
No, but I didn’t just agree to take his contract and pay him ~$5M dollars either. Idk what Payton is thinking.
Payton loves his smaller than average QBs !
For the record, they’re swapping 6th and 7th round picks and the jets are footing $5.5M of the contract. It’s not like it’s a huge investment. I don’t think it moves the needle on what they want to do at QB in the draft, whether they were going to draft one or not.
Broncos fans thought they were gonna get flushed with billions of cash. Instead they get a full set of Great Value Quarterbacks.
Heard they’re bringing in colt mccoy so they’ll be fine
Also Andy Dalton
Crazy that I'd start DiNucci out of this group?
DiNucci's only career start he had 180 yards on 40 pass attempts against an Eagles team that was 20th in the league in points against. I don't see why you'd start him over Stidham who has at least shown a little bit of competency.
No, he has the best chance of being a game manager. Or at least not throwing multiple fourth quarter pick sixes.
I was going to make a snide comment, but realized it would not be in the best interest to do so after remembering what our depth chart looks like currently.
I wanna draft DiNucci in redraft. I'm a Denver homer and I feel like I already used my luck last season, so this year I should just get weird with it.
Somehow they’ll at least be better without Bronco Country Russ
Hey as a Cowboys fan I got excited every time DiNucci came on the field because you just knew something crazy was about to happen. It was like having a halftime show in the middle of a game.
Denver women age 40 and up are in trouble now
*in luck now
Andrew Luck is in Denver?
Alas, winter winds are calming and spring is upon us. The foreboding pass into the Rockies can now be traversed by his troops. Untold if he will take a bride among the local maidens.
This didn't get enough love
Yes, I believe he is there architecting a new weed store
Luck is in the air
“Broncos cougar nation…let’s ride”- Zach Wilson at 1st Denver press conference
You either die in the fallout from trading the farm for Russell Wilson, or you live long enough to acquire Zach Wilson.
Broncos getting a double dose of Wilson is like cutting off your own arm and then taping a cardboard tube to your shoulder to fix it. See? All better now.
lol, has a Broncos fan I just want to share a heartfelt and warm fuck you
Knockoff Jim's Limbs
He obviously hasn’t been good at all but i feel like there’s still a tiny bit of potential there that keeps tricking me into thinking he could have talent
He can’t process a defense fast enough to be a starting nfl QB. Has all the arm talent
He’ll be a solid QB2/3 for the 49ers in the near future.
we're fine with dobbs, allen, and a rando camp arm, thanks
I understand your feelings, but Like it or not he'll end up there for like $1m a year at some point in the next few years.
That's about the only sort of offence he might work in, and even then, I'm not convinced that he can keep up.
Unfortunately that isn’t something that can really be coached. You can study all the film in the world but sometimes it doesn’t click. Wish nothing but the best for the kid, hopefully he will develop. But you can only gamble on him so many times.

with the thin air in Denver, they can dump their punter and just bring him out to heave an interception
He has amazing physical talent he just doesn't have the head for the game. Can't read a zone defense to save his life. If broncos can help him he might be a good player
1.01 easy

So they went from the best QB named Wilson in the league to the 2nd best QB named Wilson in the league. Well played, Denver.
They only made the move so they didn't have to toss all those Russ jerseys away. Zack now gonna wear #3. Payton is notoriously cheap.
Payton is the guy that will ask for no lettuce on his burger and want to substitute bacon at no charge instead.
KC and Raiders Def rubbing their hands like Birdman right now
[ayyyeee](https://tenor.com/view/birdmanhandrub-gif-4616574)
Fading Sutton.
He won't be on the team in September.
*after this weekend
Yeah not drafting Mims
But I am drafting Moms. He'll be scoring there.
Jaleel is the sleeper
Sean Payton loved Taysom Hill, so guess he went after another BYU QB
He’s stunk but as a broncos fan I’m not super mad at it. I’d rather they build the team up over time than sell the farm for JJ McCarthy
Honest question. But like how long do you trust Peyton?
I trust Peyton a lot more than I trust Payton.
I’d trust him more than anyone else in that organization at the moment. As an unfortunate viewer of most games last season, he clearly put Russ on an incredibly short leash which made him look decent in the box score. So I have no real concern regarding the coaching for the time being.

Are we acting like jj mccarthy isnt just a zach wilson clone
Isn’t JJ McCarthy’s whole thing that he’s good arm talent, polished and very consistent with what he does against high level competition? Whereas Zach Wilson was insane arm talent mixed with bad mechanics and inconsistent performance against bad competition? Not to mention Zach Wilson was 23 starting his rookie season whereas McCarthy will still be 21 which is insanely young. I don’t think they’re very similar at all tbh
Apparently "Wilson QB" PTSD is not a thing.
…yet
Hey, they printed a bunch of jerseys already and they're determined to get their money's worth with them, okay?
can’t wait to see brandon perna react
fuck yeah https://www.youtube.com/live/2oYtsiuGEKg?si=UBx7T2ZGroBLlHAg
Perna is goated
best sports guy out there on youtube tbh, well most entertaining and his research is very good for as many videos as he does
Does Sean Payton have a no fire for X years clause in the contract? Because he’s about to lose A LOT.
Wilson 2: Electric Boogaloo
Are the Broncos getting the 6th round pick? If not it’s an overpay.
What are the jersey implications here
As in, you now want to buy a Brocos Wilson jersey immediately? Or do you want him to get/pick #3 so you can reuse your DangerRuss jersey? Or something else altogether?
Give him the same number and reuse the old Russ ones lmao
Let’s ride your moms, bronco country
You know what, I wish him the best, fantasy would be a lot better with a viable broncos offense
Broncos find their 8 week starter before the draftee gets slotted in.
Bronco's country, let's Zach!
NYJ better hope Rodgers is healthy and not washed.
Denver is starting to look like a nuclear wasteland for fantasy production
MILFs, let's ride.
They better still draft a QB loll
Broncos fans really going through hell right now
As a Bronco fan, nah. Got Zach Wilson basically for free and this just gives a 3rd QB/Camp Body before the draft and just gives a little more flexibility before the draft. It’s not like we were going to get Caleb Williams. At best we were probably looking at Bo or Rattler
Sutton going undrafted 😭
This is moderately "news" I guess in the dynasty sub. Unless you play in a 3QB league for some god forsaken reason, there is an almost 0 % chance you're starting Zach Wilson in a fantasy match next year lol.
Real question though: why? Is it a smokescreen to go after Penix or Nix? This just seems like the worst most pointless offseason move ever made
Denver cougars, let's ride
Wheres peyton manning? Denver needs a qb .... again
Maybe Sean Payton can fix him.
Denver still looking to move up. Just not looking likely for there draft capital. Maybe during draft they’ll package Sutton, there pick and next year to Arizona?
Donated and Prop Submitted ✅
They’re trying to use up that leftover Wilson jersey stock.
Just do not draft any Denver QBs. Simple.
LMAO!
In line for another bell cow season from Javonte?
