Zach Wilson .. Yes, I Said It

[listopencil]

I'll ask the same question here that I asked on a different Broncos board:


Who is a better QB, Zach Wilson or Stidham?

Wilson has a much higher ceiling

I'd counter with "who has a better chance at being a NFL QB under Sean Payton ?" ... Not to mention, the salaries .. Stidham is 5 million against the cap and Wilson 2.75 mil ( after the Jets agreed to pick up half the tab )

Sorta surprised nobody went after Zach Browning this offseason as a potential stop gap QB.

Jake?

Jake?

From State Farm?

Same. He was better than average for the Bengals.

Yes, Jake!

Have my mind on Zach Wilson.

Wilson's game resembles Jake Plummer's game

Replace Jake the Snake with "Zach Attack".

Zach’s numbers aren’t far off from Jake’s Cardinals days.

Both won about 36% of their starts. Both were sub 60% completions. Jake was better at throwing TDs, Zach was better at avoiding INTs.

Knowing how Jake performed when he came to Denver and was coached by Mike Shanahan, there might be something there for Zach with Payton…

One of my all time favorite Broncos

 

[Mountain Bronco]

Yes, Jake!

Have my mind on Zach Wilson.

He was an ERFA so it made him tough to go after. Bengals gave him an updated deal with more money and another year though which makes sense given Burrow's injury history.

Broncos not picking up Zach Wilson's 5th year option. Obviously, the right choice. No need to pay him more when he may not be here long.

They seemed intent on bringing him back since he showed he can play and Burrow is well on his way to being a brittle bitch.

Stidham.

But, in a Shanahan type offense....I think Zach could be better than he showed in NY.

We would be paying him 1 m dollars per each career TD pass.

Exactly.

Can you imagine if Wilson blossoms? Free picks, baby!

I don't think he even needs to blossom - so much as not flop - some NFL team with have injured QBs and the Broncos could end up with a plus transaction - for sure. Lessor QB talents have hung on a lot longer than Zach Wilson.

Drew Brees/Philip Rivers situation baby! Only let's trade away Rivers!

I've come to really like Bo Nix ... Everything about him is positive and likable

But I have the feeling Zach Wilson is going to make the decision very tough on the staff

And to me, there is absolutely zero reason to keep Stidham around .. and I liked his signing last year ... Nobody believes he is a long term answer - and we could allocate that money to a player who'd make a much more significant impact .. #31

Nix has a lot of people excited about the possibility of being the face of the franchise .. and the door is not closed on that possibility with Zach Wilson ....

With Stidham, it's closed, bolted, shut and the DO NOT DISTURB sign is on the doorknob
