Payton is definitely one of the better coaches out there, especially on offense. He made the Saints into a legit winning team for a long time and they suffered after him.
The big question is how fast can he do it and will he be able to bring Wilson back from the brink?
No matter what I expect the Broncos to be a much better team. He will get them playing better on Offense and the Defense was already good.
As to Wilson… I’ve never loved his game. He is accurate. He has some scramble ability but isn’t a runner, especially anymore. He was going through personal issues that he may be working past.
If anyone can make it easy for Wilson, it’s Payton. People wrote off Goff after McVay. Wilson has some potential to return to pro-bowl form under a better coach.
If not, Payton can probably find a Backup QB type and maximize them.
Probably at 7-10 win team. Everyone has this team as an easy win for the Lions but I don’t think it will be. It’s late in the season so the Broncos will have time to get themselves better much like the Lions have done the last 2 second half of the season.
