Oh BS! At the time, literally everyone was saying that Rodgers to denver was inevitable because they hired can't hackett. [Reply]
Patrick Mahomes should fly to Vegas immediately after this is over. I have never seen one quarterback get bailed out of four interceptions in one game. pic.twitter.com/d0VaAsh3zV
I mean, I can understand your desperate coping attempt to treat the Seattle game as nothing more than a nightmare but Wilson threw at least 2 balls right into the hands of Seattle defenders that dropped them. [Reply]

Obviously, they had AR as target #1... the comment was more about having also considered and worked with SEA well before AR wasn't being dealt. Appears they had been working on Plan A and Plan B for some time. [Reply]
Let's be real, Denver has two high end talent at the offensive skill positions, Sutton and Williams, and they both played yesterday. Trying to deflect the blame off Wilson is just fucking feeble. [Reply]

Yes, as a back up plan to not getting Rodgers. They wanted Rodgers. Even everyone in NFL circles knew this. RW was Plan B. Plan A was convince Rodgers to come there by hiring his offensive coach and paying him bigly. It fell through. Plan B was trade for RW, take it up the pooper on draft capital and eventually have to pay him as well (although not as much as ARod).
I said 'last minute switch' because ARod was the plan all along and when they went up to the 13th hour to try and get something done and realized it wasn't gonna happen, then they pivoted to RW at the last minute (which, yes, they had discussed previously). But it was clearly Option B. Based on the Hackett hiring (a guy who is CLEARLY not ready to be a head coach in the NFL) and all the draft capital they would have to give up getting RW. They knew what the cost was going in and knew it was going to 'hurt' if they couldn't lure ARod there.

But we were told Montrell Washington was a STUD, same with Albert O, so those 2 with Sutton, and a GREAT OL, should be enough for your ELITE QB. [Reply]
