Do you trust Broncos coach Sean Payton’s assertion that he shares “a strong bond” with Russell Wilson?
Sean Keeler suggests that Super Bowl Week feels like a form of torment for Broncos fans. Despite hopes of overcoming Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, it often ends in disappointment. He compares Mahomes’ prowess to Harry Potter’s magic, only to see their efforts fail. Moreover, the pre-game events add to the chaos, especially when Broncos coach Sean Payton discusses Russell Wilson. Keeler implies that Payton’s remarks about his relationship with Wilson are misleading and that benching Wilson damaged their rapport. Ryan McFadden echoes this sentiment, suggesting that Payton’s portrayal of their relationship is disingenuous. He questions why Payton would claim a great relationship after benching Wilson and doubts Wilson’s willingness to return to the Broncos. Additionally, he questions Payton’s decision-making regarding Wilson’s future with the team. Keeler criticizes Payton’s vague responses about the quarterback situation, suggesting they lack substance. McFadden speculates on the Broncos’ quarterback options, suggesting they may draft a rookie but stick with Jarrett Stidham until he’s ready. He doubts they’ll trade for another QB due to limited resources and considers options like Justin Fields or Baker Mayfield but acknowledges financial constraints.
