Tried to tell these boneheads that all this was irrelevant because Wilson had already shown signs of physical decline (and was never a good pocket passer to begin with). [Reply]
Seriously, it's truly remarkable to watch this collapse. I mean, they have sucked for a long time, but DAMN man...you have to really try to be this bad...or you just quit...or...you really are this bad.
None of the scenarios bode well for the Donks. Are they the biggest laughing stock in the NFL? Well, hell yes. I mean, we all expected the Texans to suck, as well as the Colts (grrrrr...) but how could the Donks be SO bad...I dunno. But...I like it... [Reply]

They're tied to Wilson come hell or high water, so their only hope is to bring in a respected, offensive guru-type HC to try and fix him... and the entire culture of that place as well [Reply]
Still awaiting Knowmo’s spin on this. The Rams were one of the lowest scoring teams in the league and were starting a QB on his third team this year. It was so bad the even the Nickelodeon crew was clowning them. The Rams were missing their starting QB, best WR, and best defensive player and it was still a college level beat down. [Reply]
Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien reportedly told the offensive line to pick up Russell Wilson when he goes down. Lineman Dalton Risner was NOT having it

This makes me wonder why the rift is so big between the offensive line and Russell Wilson. Is it really just because he's weird when interacting with them? Bad quarterbacks are generally supported by their lines, as we saw for many years with our own team. It doesn't seem like Russell is publicly throwing them under the bus or anything.
This makes me think that Pete Carroll kept him out of a leadership role in Seattle, and that team was led by the defense anyway. If Russell was just a cog and wasn't called upon to provide leadership, then he could be kept off to the side.
I think Denver then brought him in with the expectations that he would be the team leader, and they told him that. He's trying to be a leader, but some people just aren't designed to be in that role. You're not going to sign Cole Beasley or Jared Goff to be a team leader, for example, and you should know that coming in.
I think the broncos had an inexperienced head coach and GM, and they got excited to bring in a guy who had won a Super Bowl so they told him whatever he wanted to hear. By not knowing his strengths and weaknesses, they set him up for failure.
On the field, I think they also failed by not understanding what his on-field strengths and weaknesses were. It's becoming apparent that Pete Carroll knew how to fit an offense to his quarterback's abilities, and the broncos coaches don't.
I know that he's been terrible, but I have a hard time believing that he went from serviceable to a disaster over the course of one offseason. It's because he changed coaches and systems, and because he also went to an amateurish coach and system. [Reply]
Denver's interest in Nathaniel Hackett has been known since the fall. And for obvious reasons, given his relationship with Aaron Rodgers (Rodgers actually championed his HC candidacy).
But Hackett's bright, charismatic in his own right, was a huge asset for Matt LaFleur in GB.

“Happy cocoon of love.”
It’s a Saturday afternoon in late May and Hackett, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator, is holed up in a conference room inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for a QB Collective training clinic. Hackett has the difficult task of explaining to these teens the basic tenets and cardinal sins of quarterbacking — while also keeping his audience awake and engaged.
“His presentations are legendary, they really are. He finds ways every single week to come up with new cool ideas,” Rodgers said. “He’s got infectious energy. He’s hilarious.”
“It’s understanding that every player has different motivators and everybody can respond differently to coaching, and figuring out what those buttons are on certain people to push to get the most out of them,” Rodgers said. “That’s what he does really well. He disarms guys and makes them feel really comfortable, and then he’s really good at teaching the game.
“I would hate to lose him, but I do feel like he would be a fantastic head coach.”

Nathaniel Hackett was FIRED UP at the Nuggets game tonight. When asked what will be different with the Broncos with him as head coach, he said: “We’re just going to tear it up. It’s that simple… LETS GO!”
