Russell Wilson’s no-good, very-bad year continues.<\/p>\n
The former Seahawks star has struggled mightily during his debut season in Denver, with yet another underwhelming performance on a national stage Monday night in a loss to the Chargers.<\/p>\n
After orchestrating two scoring drives to start the game and completing 10 of 11 passes with a touchdown, Wilson and the Broncos went ice cold in the second half, mustering just three points in the second half and overtime. Wilson completed just five passes after the Broncos’ first two drives, finishing 15 of 28 for 188 yards and the lone score.<\/p>\n
The game continues a troubling trend for the 33-year-old QB, who is off to the worst start of his NFL career. Through six games Wilson’s Broncos are 2-4, and he has five touchdown passes, three interceptions and an 83.4 QB rating. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Geno Smith \u2014 Wilson’s replacement in Seattle \u2014 has nine touchdowns and two interceptions with 1,502 yards passing and a QB rating of 108.1. <\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that the Seahawks hold Denver’s first- and second-round picks in the 2023 draft. Right now, those picks would be No. 7 and No. 39 overalls. <\/p>\n
Wilson has reportedly been dealing with injuries to his throwing shoulder and suffered a hamstring injury during Monday’s loss. But even with the injuries, Wilson’s struggles have confounded media members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat’s happening now, there’s no precedent,\u201d FS1’s Colin Cowherd said. \u201cHe’s fallen off a cliff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Husky and Seahawks legend Warren Moon told The Denver Post’s Sean Keller, \u201cI think he’s trying to do a little bit too much on and off the field \u2026 all it does is bring more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
The spotlight on Wilson’s struggles is getting brighter, and games such as Monday’s on national TV sure aren’t helping. <\/p>\n
Here’s what people are saying.<\/p>\n
