The Denver Broncos are 1-5 and while quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t necessarily been the problem, he hasn’t been the solution, either.
Wilson had his worst game under new coach Sean Payton on Thursday Night Football last week, completing 13-of-22 passes for 95 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wilson’s overall numbers through six games aren’t bad — he has completed 65.9% of his passes for 1,305 yards with 12 touchdowns against four interceptions. Over the last two weeks, though, Wilson is 33-of-53 for 291 yards with three touchdowns, two interceptions, eight sacks and two fumbles.
There’s plenty of blame to go around for Denver’s struggles, and Wilson is not “washed.” Wilson is set to 35 years old next month, though, and it’s fair to wonder if he has a long-term future with the Broncos.
If Denver plans to make a change at quarterback in 2024, should they get an early start now and take a look at Jarrett Stidham for the rest of the 2023 season? Let us know your take by voting in the poll below.
