Win or lose, us Seahawk fans will be here regardless! We just love football.

Plus, how can you not have a man-crush on Russell Wilson!

3SS's...here's a serious question for you.

He's had an amazing career. This is 12 years in the league, I believe. Joe Montana & Steve Young both had 14 year careers. I'm sure some QB's have had a little longer and many shorter. He still is playing very well (most of the time).

So, barring injury, he might have 4-6 years left...though you never really know when the ability starts to taper off. He's not there yet of course, but the time is going to come when they will replace him.

Heck, a person as capable as him is pretty rare, so enjoy him while you have him. Perhaps the question to think about soon is grooming someone to replace him. I don't know anything about your backup QB's.

Hey all. Broncos fan here, and been so my whole life (50 years young). Retired Air Force of 23 years. I didn't know this thread existed, so I'm not here to talk trash, just proud of the way the Broncos are playing this year and don't have to depend entirely on our defense to win games like last year with Tebow. We are playing well on both sides of the ball, so I'm enjoying watching them. Von Miller and Dumervil are beasts and are playing great defense. Of course I am concerned about the Pats in the playoffs because they have had our number lately. Here in Colorado, more people focus on the AFC more than the NFC, I don't think people are giving Seattle their props and are a dangerous, dangerous team. Niners look incredible this year and think the qb swap was a great move. Texans look great as well. Big Kubiak fan and appreciate everything he did while in Denver both as qb and coaching staff. Met him a few times at training camp. Great guy. Any way, I will be monitoring this thread. Good luck to all in the playoffs!

Welcome. Peyton's found a good home. I can actually talk to people from Denver now that we aren't in the AFC West anymore.

Big kid, hell of an arm......has looked good in preseason, but until it's his turn.....you never know.

Brady will never be replaced

I hear you....I work with a retired Navy Chief who is from Washington and we talk about the old days when you guys were part of the AFC West. He's a big Largent fan. I tease him about Bozworth all the time .You guys have a big game this week, should be a good game, both qb's are great passers and can run the ball as well. Not to mention Lynch and Gore running the ball. Denver has the Browns here at Invesco. They need to win out to maintain the number 2 seed. I don't want to play Pats at home, I'd rather they come here to Denver if they have to meet up again.

Nice Chevelle's btw. That is my second favorite car ('69 Camaro is my first). Both are nice but the '69 is freakin' sweet!
