The Denver Broncos didn’t have the game they were hoping for, which led to a heated exchange between Russell Wilson and Mike Purcell.
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson isn’t getting the job done the way the team needs him to, and players are starting to show their frustrations with him as he’s coming off the worst season of his career. Teammate Mike Purcell got into a heated exchange with Wilson on the sidelines, and Wilson spoke about it shortly after in a press conference.
Wilson eventually shared that there were no hard feelings between the two, but Purcell stated, “We have to go.” Wilson agreed that the wins should start happening.
Denver’s offense has been far from favorable this season between Wilson’s poor performance and Melvin Gordon has a lot of fumbles. Gordon is fired, but it’s not easy to replace Wilson as there is only one backup quarterback, Brett Rypien, who barely has any NFL experience.
The Broncos should have been able to count on Wilson a lot more than they have been able to this season given his results with the Seattle Seahawks.
Russell Wilson played much better for the Seahawks than the Broncos
With the Seahawks, Wilson’s lowest completion percentage in a single season was 61.3 (2017), fewest completions were 252 (2012), fewest passing yards were 3,113 (2021) and fewest touchdowns were 20 (2014). He played with Seattle for 10 seasons, and his worst numbers during that time weren’t too bad.
However, he’s been on pace this season with the Broncos falling short of most of those numbers. He currently has 179 completions with a completion percentage of 59.5 over 2,227 yards and just seven touchdowns. This is very unfortunate for the Broncos as they have struggled to replace Peyton Manning for years.
Wilson may not be on the same level as Manning, but he’s had seasons that have been pretty close. He should have been able to be more comparable to Manning, but he presents many issues with his inconsistent performances each week.
The Broncos unfortunately lost another road game, Lose every single one so far this season. Wilson isn’t doing what he needs to do, and the team is starting to get frustrated.
