THE BRONCOS GOT ROBBED

 

After watching that Denver/Indianapolis game last night, I am starting to think that the Broncos got robbed big time on that trade. Could it be that the Seahawk management (Carroll, Schneider) had it figured that Russell Wilson, for all his accolades and accomplishments, was fading and that it was time to cash in? It sure looks like it and it came at a time when they are bring in a whole crew of young guys again just like they did in 2010 and 2011. 

 

For a quarterback that has a QB rating of 82 so far this year (which is not a good number), the Seahawks got the following:

 

Drew Lock – backup to Geno Smith, who has a rating this year of 108

 

Shelby Harris – 31 year old DE

 

Noah Fant – reasonably productive TE (10 receptions and 1 TD in four games), first round pick in 2019

 

First round pick in 2022 and 2023 drafts

 

Second round pick in 2022 and 2023 drafts

 

The more the Broncos with Wilson at the helm suck and continue to do so, the better this deal looks. Some of that will depend on the result of the draft picks, but all of that for what we’ve seen Wilson do so far this year? And it isn’t improving. It is getting worse.
