According to cbssports.com, the Denver Broncos’ decision to extend quarterback Russell Wilson is looking to be one of the worst decisions of the NFL off-season, as the Broncos fall to 2 and 4 with their second consecutive overtime loss on Monday night to the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson is currently on his second three game losing streak of his career.
Recently, how Wilson handles himself off of the field has started to get criticized as well. During Monday night postgame coverage on NFL Network, the word “robot” was used a lot to describe Wilson’s demeanor. Wilson’s former teammate Michael Robinson said, “How can you stand up there and you know the offense looks like this, you know all these questions are out here about you and about this offense, and you just say ‘Oh we just need to execute better, let’s ride. We need to execute better, let’s ride,’ If you’re a teammate in that locker room, you’re like, ‘Dude! Be human! Please! Call somebody out, be upset about something.’ Don’t just act like this is just business as usual.” He also added that he hopes mutiny isn’t coming Wilson’s way, as he received a huge extension before the season, and now that he is underperforming, it may rub teammates the wrong way.
Wilson is currently completing only 58.6 percent of his passes this season, a career low for him. The Broncos were also only able to capitalize on three of their 15 red zone drives, marking the lowest touchdown percentage in the NFL at 20 percent.
