With “must win” looming, here’s what Broncos need from Russell Wilson: Less preaching, more TD passes. by markkiszla
Russell Wilson leads the NFL in one category: positive affirmations. The Broncos quarterback preaches the wisdom of everyone and everything from Winston Churchill to the Epistle of James.He has heard the criticism. At age 33, Wilson looks washed up.Outside noise? He’s neither spooked nor shaken by it.Wilson can turn any news conference into an inspirational poster painted with more pastel positivity than Tony Robbins has on his entire palette.
In the quest for playoff relevancy a franchise quarterback was supposed to bring Denver, patience has ceased to be a virtue, unless the Broncos don’t mind waiting all the way until next year. Again. For the seventh NFL season in a row.“It’s as urgent as it can be. It’s a must win for us on Monday night,” Broncos safety Justin Simmons said, when I asked him the importance of earning a victory against an AFC West opponent to avoid going 0-2 in the division.
After Denver lost 12-9 to Indianapolis in a game so ugly it was hard to watch, Wilson cited a quote often attributed to Churchill about the importance of perseverance when going through hell. In fact, through five games, Wilson’s 59.4% completion rate, four TD passes, 82.8 QB rating and 2-3 record are inferior to the 64.1% completion rate, seven TD passes, 89.7 QB rating and 4-1 record compiled by some dude named Drew Lock as a raw rookie back in 2019.
