Thread: For the fans who wanted Quenton Nelson

Imagine some anonymous broncos players came out against Von. Would you guys suddenly be screaming "trade Von!", or would you just dismiss them as bad teammates/cowards? Ultimately, if you already liked or disliked a player, something like this isn't going to change your mind. You'll just use it to affirm the narrative you already believe in.

BUt it's a gooooooooooood daaaaaaaaaaay baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!

Ok and that in no way invalidates my point.

You could argue, probably successfully, that the Broncos got to and won SB50 because of Von.

Elite defensive players CAN and have win SB's for their teams.

Isn't that why there is a conversation about Wentz in Broncos Talk, because some fans would entertain a trade of a SB MVP/ALL PRO/Team Captain Von Miller for an 'almost MVP' can't stay healthy QB? Granted, Wentz's 2017 season was going great, but I don't believe he'll be that same QB because of health issues that will plague him.

King....Wentz needs someone like Quetin Nelson blocking for him.

There are several things that are true.

One, Wentz has talent and has shown he can play in this League when healthy but that's the problem he hasn't been able to stay healthy.

Two, he was a top five pick just three years go so the Eagles have quite a bit invested in him so their not going to give up on him.

Three, even setting aside the monetary investment have in Wentz a lot of teams won't trade a known commodity like a Von Miller for a guy who has yet to prove he stay on the field.

Four, as much of a quiche as it is "a player's best ability is his availability" is still accurate.

I love this post.

Well, don't worry about it, because the Eagles would never trade Wentz for anybody, including Von, so it won't happen.

I'm not worried in at all.
