Any thoughts that quarterback is not the most important position in sports disappeared yesterday. To acquire a 33-year-old QB, the Denver Broncos parted with two starters, a back-up quarterback, two #1 picks, two #2s, downtown Boulder, Aspen, Vail, Snowmass, Larry Walker and controlling rights to Keystone Light. In 2022, it is impossible to overpay for a very good quarterback.
In return, Denver got Russell Wilson and, the Broncos believe, keys to the championship car.
33 isn’t old now, not by quarterback standards. Two years ago, Wilson threw 40 TD passes.
