Come off the ledge brother. I do appreciate your tenacity but I will say it's a bit misplaced. Folks are bringing up some solid points and only time will tell if the trade was worth it. Wilson is a good QB; he's a SB winning QB and has arm talent. He's carried his team and defenses need to game plan for him. I agree that he's 33 but that's still relatively young for a QB in today's two hand touch league.
Denver really had no choice if they want to compete against the Chiefs and Chargers. Seattle has been pretty bad in the draft and a far cry from the early Pete Carroll years where they found Wilson and others after the 1st round. Seattle also has a problem because there are very few, if any, blue chip QB's on the horizon. It's one thing to get all those picks, but it's another thing entirely to try to replace a franchise QB when none are found in the draft. A franchise QB is worth multiple picks, including first rounders. Maybe that's the new norm in the NFL. It's easier to go all-in and trade for Stanford, or Manning, or Brady, etc. and take your shot for a year or two. I get that Brady and Manning weren't traded but the Bucs/Broncs gave them a big pay day for older QB's and it paid off for the fans. Some teams don't want to be relevant, like Jerry and his vile spawn. They want to win and win big. I can see where they're coming from with these types of moves.
