Though we haven’t seen great play from Wilson this season, I don’t think his career is at stake in the final two games. But what he does over Weeks 17 and 18 Bell<\/em> have an impact on his legacy.<\/p>\n

Wilson’s career was on a Hall of Fame trajectory during his 10 seasons in Seattle; he made two Super Bowl appearances (winning one), earned nine Pro Bowl selections and posted nine winning seasons, with a 104-53-1 record as the Seahawks’ starter. That version of Wilson feels like a relic of the distant past after what we’ve watched unravel in Denver this season. In 13 games, he has completed a career-low 60.1 percent of his passes for 3.019 yards, with a 12:9 touchdown-to-interception ratio and a career-worst passer rating of 82.6.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a day after the Broncos were blown out by the Baker Mayfield-led Rams to drop to 4-11, head coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired. But watching the offense this season, I don’t think Denver’s failures rest entirely on Hackett. Wilson has routinely missed easy reads that no quarterback should miss in a West Coast system.<\/p>\n

This is the second season in which Wilson, 34, has struggled in this type of offense after failing to “cook” under offensive coordinator Shane Waldron in Seattle in 2021. At this point, I believe the only system Wilson can succeed in is a run -heavy approach sprinkled with play-action pass — what her ran in Seattle for much of his career.<\/p>\n

Denver remains behind Wilson<\/a>who was given a massive contract<\/span> by the Broncos following his acquisition via blockbuster trade<\/span>. Wilson and the Broncos have two games left on the schedule, a road contest in Kansas City and a home finale against the Chargers. If he plays well, Wilson can help convince people to give him the benefit of the doubt coming out of this lost season. That said, Wilson will have a lot to do next<\/em> season to prove he belongs in Canton despite the stain of 2022 on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
