With one changed draft pick, the Broncos ... - would have an exciting young QB - maybe avoid hiring Hackett - don't have Russell Wilson - have all the picks from the Wilson trade - don't spend $242 million on Wilson The butterfly effect is real. sports.yahoo.com/russell-fly-ef…
And the thing that makes this chain of events so crazy is that Patrick Surtain II is a fantastic player. Denver drafted a star cornerback and it unintentionally set in motion events that are probably going to set the franchise back for years. Already a legendary "what if" moment.
@YahooSchwab And if they take fields maybe we end up with—gulp—Russ (Bears fan).
@YahooSchwab Did you call this from the beginning we got Surtain & Wilson instead of Fields? Doubt it.
@YahooSchwab Don't show this article to @AllbrightNFL, he'll have an aneurysms so fast that he won't even be able to block you!
@YahooSchwab Except Denver would still be without a franchise QB and be worse off because they didn’t get a player that could start for a decade. This is a stretch of a what if because looking at the two right now PS2 is the hands down better choice. Where they went off the rails was Wilson
@YahooSchwab As a bears fan I still think back to Ryan pace trying to trade for Russell Wilson that year before he traded up to get fields…thank god they said no
@YahooSchwab People always look back to the QBs Denver could've drafted, ignoring the fact that they could destroy any one of those guys. Look at what they did to Russell Wilson if you don't believe it. Fields under Vic Fangio was not going to pan out.
