We got rid of Smith and his numbers were better. Football is not a game of numbers like Baseball. Russ is a manager and screw up. Peyton knows he can't get past playoff teams with him. [Reply]
Just a few days ago, people on the Broncos board were defending the Wilson trade. LOL. It’s one of the worst trades in history no matter how you slice it. [Reply]

No doubt. The move preserves a $37M chunk if he were to be injured. [Reply]
It's a really weird decision to bench your quarterback when you still have a chance at the playoffs. I know it's a small chance, but giving up sends a really bad message. Rusty isn't the biggest problem on that team (this year). [Reply]

It’s all about not risking owing an additional 37 million if he’s injured. [Reply]

It's the smart move assuming they don't think they can win anything meaningful with Russ. Gotta make sure that the journey forward isn't any worse than it has to be with that awful contract. And there's a chance that with Stidham there isn't even really a dropoff. [Reply]
