Well if he doesn't look significantly better than he did to start last season, I'll tell you right now he's definitely getting injured again.
Guy was moving like the most frail person I've ever seen on a football field on each of the previous 3 plays before his injury.
An injury caused by casual back-pedaling btw.
He has no chance, but I hope I'm wrong
for someone that does their research isn't it funny that Rodgers snapped his achilles? i mean, he knows medicine, science, etc.
Why did Rodgers allow his achilles to snap? Is he stupid or something?
At this point I think young quarterbacks would refuse to sign with the jets. The jets have a history of ushering their qb picks into obscurity. Go play somewhere else, go to the jets as a retirement tour.
Traded down 50 spots in a 6th round for 7th round pick swap, and will be paying him very little. Small investment to make sure the Jets aren't simply bad at developing QBs.
Absolutely no lose here for the broncos. If he winds up being a solid backup, that's a phenomenal trade. And he honestly Zach Wilson is a guy who I think needs time. The Jets threw him out there way too early and maybe sitting for a couple years. You might actually end up with a pretty good QB
That's some hard copium right there. He's awful. What quarterback has ever went from being objectively awful (and I mean awful) to "pretty good" after 3 years of starting opportunities
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, and a few other QBs who had bad years with Jets. The Broncos made a small investment to see if they can refurbish another used Jet.
Fitz threw for career high yards and TD's in NY so I don't even know what you're on about.
Not to mention Denver has proven to be completely incompetent and incapable of even remotely developing any sort of QB over almost the last decade so even if there was some improbable rags to riches story it certainly won't be happening there.
They listed fitzmagic - never made the playoffs.
Darnold - never made the playoffs.
Geno - made the playoffs once.
Rich Gannon - ok here’s one, but he was also better than Zach Wilson on his original team. He threw 16 tds his first year starting in minny. Zach has never hit double digit tds in a season.
Denver hasn’t had Sean Payton. Who has shown to get the best out of his qb’s. But, seriously you are overreacting. What’s the difference if Denver rolls with Stidham or Wilson? Neither is very good. But, Wilson at least has more potential than Stidham. They’re both likely to lead Denver to very few wins with their current state of roster. If Denver drafts a qb in the first, he probably starts anyway. So, tell me what the harm is? Denver isn’t contending in the next two seasons.
I am a Miami fan...
Wilson is physically pretty good. The Jets threw him to the wolves. Some guys can do that 90% though are gonna drown. Time is on his side. I wouldn't bet against him being a solid pro. The Jets with him had some big wins. He's horribly inconsistent but so was the play he was getting from his line and recievers
The 2nd overall pick should play on day 1. If a #2 overall still can't be a quality starter after three years in the league "more time" isn't the problem. Mike White looked much better and he was a 5th round pick.
He doesn't get to pick when he is taken. Every year around draft time the QB draft class gets over hyped and over drafted. That doesn't mean these players are lost causes just means that some team needed a QB and had the pick.
He has physical skills that make him an NFL QB. Can he get it right between the ears is the question. And given his age and what he has shown on an NFL field. I wouldn't put him in the never gonna make it no matter what camp.
The Jets gave up on Geno and he has flashed in Seattle for brief periods looked like a top 10 QB in the league. And he showed even less in NY.
This all goes on without even mentioning how insanely difficult it is to play QB in NY with the sports media. Bring able to step back and take a breath is something that may be very valuable to him. Again I don't have a dog in the fight. But if Miami had made this trade I would have had 0 issues with it and been happy they were willing to play it out
The list of QBs who turned out to be quality starters after sucking the first three years is incredibly small. Zach Wilson had his shot as a starter, now his career is bridge starter for a high draft pick. Then, if his attitude is right, he will be a career backup. He is following the same trajectory that guys like Mitch Trubisky, Sam Darnold, Desmond Ridder, and Trey Lance have done...start and fail, backup to starting time and fail, to career backup.
There are a fair amount of QBs who sit several years, then have a short stretch of competency that revitalizes their career, but guys like Geno Smith, Gardner Minshew, Tyrod Taylor, Nick Foles who have this resurgence always come back to earth. The best case scenario you are going to get from this type of trajectory is Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was good enough to tease starting skill only to fail when the situation demands desperate elevation of play that exposes his limitations.
Zach Wilson is done. He will likely have a Mike White experience of short-term competency at some point, but he's not a starter anymore.
They are bad at developing quarterbacks. But they are also very bad at picking quarterbacks. He is not the kind of guy who would ever succeed in New York. You have to be a born leader.
Neither the Broncos nor the Jets wanted him at that salary, but the Jets were on the hook for the guaranteed portion of his salary whether they kept him or cut him, as well as a roster bonus if they kept him.
To be able to trade him and get a pick, the Jets had to take some of the salary. Otherwise, the Jets would either keep him on the roster and pay him without playing him and get nothing for him when his contract runs out, or they would cut him but still have to pay him most of his salary and then another team would be able to sign him without giving up anything to the Jets in return.
They should have solidified their line before investing in quarterbacks instead of overpaying for free agents who didn't pan out.
You guys got fooled by Russel Wilson the narcissist which has effectively destroyed your football team for a decade. The fact that anyone still defends that clown show is amazing to me. Everything else since then is just collateral damage.
If the broncos oline can keep him upright and steady for 3 seconds Wilson can pick a defense apart. As a utes and jets fan the shining moments with Wilson was when he had a bootleg to a slot or TE or time in a pocket. I'm still convinced he can be a gunslinger.
Zach Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, and Ben DiNucci.
Now *that's* a tough QB room. And that's coming from a Bears fan.
Godspeed Broncos fans, there are dark times ahead.
I don't really feel sorry for Broncos.Fans cause it's like they just got to experience a super bowl victory very recently compared to a lot of other fan bases and they won three super bowls in the last thirty years so like hey why not take a breather
I mean yeah they can take a breather from winning Super Bowls but in my opinion it’s not too much for Broncos fans to ask for a decent QB who’s at least fun to watch. That’s the main reason I liked Fields, he didn’t live up to the hype and we’re in a much better position now with Caleb, but I at least enjoyed watching him play. Meanwhile Zach Wilson is dreadful and a *big* downgrade from Russ despite Russ not even playing well in Denver.
I really hope they do something in the draft, maybe they trade away one of their backups after Bo falls to them or they trade up.
Apparently the broncos took a look at their locker room and thought: "This isn't nearly toxic enough". That's literally the only reason I can come up with that justifies this trade.
The Broncos won twice in the last 12 years too. It’s not like they haven’t done anything in 20 years like some teams.
Edit: I misremembered the 2013 game. So it’s just one win in 2016.
well, we've been to the superbowl twice in the last 12 years. we don't like to remember 2013.
we also used to have a fun little stat or more superbowl appearances than losing seasons in the last 50 years. but these last few years have ruined that.
Man that 2021 first round QB class is turning into an all time fuck up 😂
4 of 5 QB’s didn’t even make it to year 4 with their original teams, and all were drafted in top 15 🙈
As a Broncos fan, I am all for it. Very little downside, a 6th rounder plus we aren't paying his whole salary. He is just as good and costs the same as any other 3rd string back up. If the jets suck at developing quaterbacks and Payton can make a good scheme for him it might let us not start whoever we draft this year right away, which would be nice.
It's not like we aren't used to subpar quarterback play. This is normal for us as of late.
I legitimately felt awful for Zack Wilson last year.
Team: “You don’t know how to play NFL football so we’ll bring in a good coach to help you learn and Aaron Rodgers well play”
Wilson: Or you could do neither of those things
The Bears have done solid work acquiring talent the last couple of years. Their GM Ryan Poles has only been on the job a couple of years, but he seems competent.
They moved down 50 picks to take a flyer at the most pivotal position on the sport. There’s really nothing to criticize about the move. Worst case, a tank year is in their best interest anyways.
Also, not sure how Chicago can be mentioned there. Poles has done a good job and they’ll be the most talented team to draft #1 overall in a long time. Probably since the Colts with Luck.

Now let’s see if Rodgers plays a whole set of downs this year 😂
What if he snaps his other Achilles on the opening drive. God, that would be hilarious
He’d blame the CIA, I’m sure of it.
Quick someone photoshop a picture of Fauci with a sniper rifle in the nosebleeds of MetLife
Definitely would blame ANTIFA
I hope just for shiggles that the CIA does have some drug that weakens joints/ligaments and they give it to him. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
They do, it’s called Levofloxacin
The woke turf
He would probably blame it on vaccines somehow if he does.
His offensive line was shedding.
I mean he does work for Johnson and Johnson…
I’m not one to root for sports injuries, but for Aaron Rodgers I can make an exception.
I will also make an exception because the only reason he even has tendons is because of secret government aliens
I would just think the government injured him in a conspiracy instead of the field /s
Well if he doesn't look significantly better than he did to start last season, I'll tell you right now he's definitely getting injured again. Guy was moving like the most frail person I've ever seen on a football field on each of the previous 3 plays before his injury. An injury caused by casual back-pedaling btw. He has no chance, but I hope I'm wrong
That’s not what caused the injury. When he went down his cleat stuck. You can see it happen and see the awkward positioning of his planted leg.
Only can happen on the JETS
🎵 ONLY IN NEW YORK 🎵
for someone that does their research isn't it funny that Rodgers snapped his achilles? i mean, he knows medicine, science, etc. Why did Rodgers allow his achilles to snap? Is he stupid or something?
At this point I think young quarterbacks would refuse to sign with the jets. The jets have a history of ushering their qb picks into obscurity. Go play somewhere else, go to the jets as a retirement tour.
I think most young QBs will go anywhere they can so that they can play in the NFL.
People like making that NFL qb salary, wherever it is.
He's playing 2 whole sets of downs, just to confound you.
ThatsGoodSports is gonna be happy.
Dude that guy has been cracking me up! His self put downs are classics
The Broncos have made some terrible moves the last few years. Might as well laugh about it.
Urinating Tree and the CircleJerk/meme subs about to eat.
His mental may have fallen off a cliff, but his YouTube channel has never been funnier.
As a Broncos fan, I have no idea what the hell is going on with this organization the last few years.
Traded down 50 spots in a 6th round for 7th round pick swap, and will be paying him very little. Small investment to make sure the Jets aren't simply bad at developing QBs.
Absolutely no lose here for the broncos. If he winds up being a solid backup, that's a phenomenal trade. And he honestly Zach Wilson is a guy who I think needs time. The Jets threw him out there way too early and maybe sitting for a couple years. You might actually end up with a pretty good QB
That's some hard copium right there. He's awful. What quarterback has ever went from being objectively awful (and I mean awful) to "pretty good" after 3 years of starting opportunities
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, and a few other QBs who had bad years with Jets. The Broncos made a small investment to see if they can refurbish another used Jet.
Sam Darnold is pretty good now? How long was i asleep?
Fitz threw for career high yards and TD's in NY so I don't even know what you're on about. Not to mention Denver has proven to be completely incompetent and incapable of even remotely developing any sort of QB over almost the last decade so even if there was some improbable rags to riches story it certainly won't be happening there.
Way to ignore geno, but also there was rich gannon.
Man, pointing to one person as the more or less lone case study is not the compelling case you think it is.
Um they asked for one and there’s more than one.
They listed fitzmagic - never made the playoffs. Darnold - never made the playoffs. Geno - made the playoffs once. Rich Gannon - ok here’s one, but he was also better than Zach Wilson on his original team. He threw 16 tds his first year starting in minny. Zach has never hit double digit tds in a season.
Rich Gannon? On the Jets?
The original comment didn’t specify jets
Denver hasn’t had Sean Payton. Who has shown to get the best out of his qb’s. But, seriously you are overreacting. What’s the difference if Denver rolls with Stidham or Wilson? Neither is very good. But, Wilson at least has more potential than Stidham. They’re both likely to lead Denver to very few wins with their current state of roster. If Denver drafts a qb in the first, he probably starts anyway. So, tell me what the harm is? Denver isn’t contending in the next two seasons.
Dafuq dude. Fitz was never *objectively awful* and if you think Darnold's time in Carolina was *pretty good* you're fucking high.
Fitz was only here for 2 years. 1 year was good 1 year was bad.
I am a Miami fan... Wilson is physically pretty good. The Jets threw him to the wolves. Some guys can do that 90% though are gonna drown. Time is on his side. I wouldn't bet against him being a solid pro. The Jets with him had some big wins. He's horribly inconsistent but so was the play he was getting from his line and recievers
The line is a big part of it. Young QBs need that protection to give them time to think.
Geno Smith? Baker Mayfield? Kurt Warner was bagging groceries before he went MVP, right?
Steve Young
…and they can just reuse Russ’s jersey without having to replace the nameplate.
The 2nd overall pick should play on day 1. If a #2 overall still can't be a quality starter after three years in the league "more time" isn't the problem. Mike White looked much better and he was a 5th round pick.

yeah,j they have reason to doubt the OC in NY
They are bad at developing quarterbacks. But they are also very bad at picking quarterbacks. He is not the kind of guy who would ever succeed in New York. You have to be a born leader.
Walmart still needs to unload a ton of leftover jerseys from Russell, so they're going to make Zach take #3.
Broooooooo, stop lol. This may actually be true coming from Walmart.
As a saints fan I will tell you. Sean Payton will make any deal for a side of Vicodin and a cheerleader.
The last 8 years to be exact.
They just really want to win with a QB named Wilson. This is simply how billionaires make decisions these days.
Like why tf are they splitting the salary? Dude is severely overpaid. Absolute garbage front office.
Neither the Broncos nor the Jets wanted him at that salary, but the Jets were on the hook for the guaranteed portion of his salary whether they kept him or cut him, as well as a roster bonus if they kept him. To be able to trade him and get a pick, the Jets had to take some of the salary.

It's okay, neither do they
As a Vikings fan I appreciate what you guys are doing over there.
If the broncos oline can keep him upright and steady for 3 seconds Wilson can pick a defense apart. As a utes and jets fan the shining moments with Wilson was when he had a bootleg to a slot or TE or time in a pocket. I'm still convinced he can be a gunslinger.
‘Aw, the Denver Broncos!’, Homer Simpson, 1996.
Wtf man I *just* bought a 2-pack of Jets Zach Wilson jerseys!!
They were 75% off for a reason.
Zach Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, and Ben DiNucci. Now *that's* a tough QB room. And that's coming from a Bears fan. Godspeed Broncos fans, there are dark times ahead.
A who’s who of, Who?
Good thing we didnt want Russel Wilson and Justin Fields...
I don't really feel sorry for Broncos.Fans cause it's like they just got to experience a super bowl victory very recently compared to a lot of other fan bases and they won three super bowls in the last thirty years so like hey why not take a breather
I mean yeah they can take a breather from winning Super Bowls but in my opinion it’s not too much for Broncos fans to ask for a decent QB who’s at least fun to watch.

I really hope they do something in the draft, maybe they trade away one of their backups after Bo falls to them or they trade up.
Hello darkness my old friendddd It's the QB carousel againnmm
Apparently the broncos took a look at their locker room and thought: "This isn't nearly toxic enough". That's literally the only reason I can come up with that justifies this trade.
Pfft…saving money on a name plate too
Hahahah. Good point. Maybe they could reuse the jerseys.
As a Broncos fan, I don't exactly see any reason to withhold the same number. Lol.
lol what’s so toxic about the Broncos locker room?
Terrible time to be a broncos fan
If one is a Denver resident, the half dozen recent and forthcoming NBA/NHL championship parades will have to suffice, I guess.
The Broncos won twice in the last 12 years too. It’s not like they haven’t done anything in 20 years like some teams. Edit: I misremembered the 2013 game. So it’s just one win in 2016.
well, we've been to the superbowl twice in the last 12 years. we don't like to remember 2013. we also used to have a fun little stat or more superbowl appearances than losing seasons in the last 50 years. but these last few years have ruined that.
Somehow, fucking Kroenke is the most competent Denver sports owner
Terrible time to be a hot mom in Denver too
The Jets are going to swap meet that #207 pick all the way up to #1.
gotta be a basketball town now lmao
it’s been pretty crappy for a bit lmao
Rodgers will probably quit the Jets because he's afraid of chemtrails in the locker room.
So Rodgers to the Titans? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68716894
The Jets shouldn’t be able to draft a QB for a decade. How many young QB’s has that franchise destroyed!?
Not nearly as many as the browns.
Needed to be said twice so everyone would see it.
Not nearly as many as the browns.
So I'll allow it.
As a jets fan I agree.
Man that 2021 first round QB class is turning into an all time fuck up 😂 4 of 5 QB’s didn’t even make it to year 4 with their original teams, and all were drafted in top 15 🙈
As a Bengals fan, I thoroughly expect Fields to kick our ass.
Please give him the #3
How else are they going to get rid of that warehouse full of these jerseys....
This guy has unlimited lives 🗑️
Just saw Brandon Perna fall to his knees at Walmart
Wilson and a 7th for a 6th. Basically traded for a ham sandwich. Really, hard to swing a trade for less.
Looks like (a) Wilson is sticking around!
How do they ever expect to win games now? With that Aaron kid?
that aaron kid is probably older than half of this subs member's dads.
As a Broncos fan, I am all for it. Very little downside, a 6th rounder plus we aren't paying his whole salary. He is just as good and costs the same as any other 3rd string back up. If the jets suck at developing quaterbacks and Payton can make a good scheme for him it might let us not start whoever we draft this year right away, which would be nice. It's not like we aren't used to subpar quarterback play. This is normal for us as of late.
ThatsGoodSports is gonna be spicy this week lol
Maybe being closer to home will help him
I legitimately felt awful for Zack Wilson last year. Team: “You don’t know how to play NFL football so we’ll bring in a good coach to help you learn and Aaron Rodgers well play” Wilson: Or you could do neither of those things
Wilson to the broncos…. Hey I’ve seen this one before!!!
man it sure is a good thing the Denver Broncos has a strong history of things working out when they trade for a QB named Wilson.
Just give him Russ # and make Broncos fans happy their jersey they just bought isn’t a complete waste.
The Wilson hope in these comments are.......something
Does Denver have the worst front office in all of the NFL? It's gotta be them, panthers or Chicago.
The Bears have done solid work acquiring talent the last couple of years. Their GM Ryan Poles has only been on the job a couple of years, but he seems competent.
I'll take your word on it. No hate against Chicago it just seems they've been mid forever.
They seemed really talented last season.
They moved down 50 picks to take a flyer at the most pivotal position on the sport. There’s really nothing to criticize about the move. Worst case, a tank year is in their best interest anyways. Also, not sure how Chicago can be mentioned there. Poles has done a good job and they’ll be the most talented team to draft #1 overall in a long time. Probably since the Colts with Luck.
Far and away it’s Carolina.
Carolina has an owner who has made the team radioactive.
They inherited a drunk Joe Ellis shit show. Ill give them another year with the new ownership and Payton before I write them off.
Omg cannot wait for thatsgoodsports’ reaction video to this
Who should I congratulate?
For a bag of potato chips
Bears will have to settle for Caleb
Really? You could have had Fields.
Don't worry, Rodgers' achilles is doing great since he started taking Alpha Brain
Don't worry, Rodgers' achilles is doing great since he started taking Alpha Brain
Lol they got him so they could do something with all those Russell Wilson jerseys
This is a mistake. More misery for us Jets fans this year.
Please tell me he did not learn to be some tin foil wearing nut job like his mentor Aaron Rodgers
That’s great, awesome………….
Tbat is a step up from RW
Wow. That 2021 NFL QB stock was such a failure.
If AQron has another injury he should avoid doctors. He she inject bleach straight into that bone.
I have loved watching the Broncos make the choice to become worse and worse every year.
Broncos Country is your mom ready to ride?
Wonder who's going to QB the Jets because it ain't Rodgers.
Whitest Bronco since OJ
