Would you bring back Russell Wilson in 2025?

[Michael K.]

Russell's struggles in Denver are overblown. Last year he had 3000 yards, 26 TDS, 8 INTs and a 98 rating. He completed 66.4% of his passes which was the 3rd highest of his career. If you look at his 2023 stats compared to the year the hawks won the Superbowl they are extremely similar. I think the reason he was dumped was more of a chemistry problem with him, the coaching staff and the team around him.

Kind of the same thing, just not a fit. I don't think he fit the system. That said, he was also pretty damn bad last year. I watched several Bronco games last year, and he just didn't have it.

3000 yards is below average at best for today's game. That was over 100 yards less than Herbert, and Herbert played in two fewer games. That was 600 yards fewer than Geno, in the same number of games. He was 20th in yards per game. As a rookie, after a dreadful start, Nix is 18th in yards per game in the same offense. Nix needs to throw for just about 100 yards per game in the next two to end up with similar passing yards in 15 games to Russ....sorry, Russ was well below average last year. You want to point to TDs? Russ always did that. Russ was the king of the short TD pass while here.

Denver was not a good team last year. In week six they lost a close one to the Chiefs to fall to 1 and 5. Russ threw for 95 yards. A few weeks later they actually beat the Chiefs. It must have been because Russ threw for an astonishing 114 yards. The Broncos started winning as soon as Payton made him wear a wrist band and basically neutered him in public. They played 1975 football.

Again, watch Monday's game and tell me Russ shouldn't have excelled in that offense! It took Nix some time, but the Broncos are on a three game win streak and he has thrown for 307, 273 and 294 in those three games. Again, a Rookie. Russ had two games were he threw for more than that, and they were week two and week three, both losses. The week three loss was when the Dolphins scored 70 on them and the Broncos were in garbage time for 3 quarters! LOL

But they benched Russ the last couple of games so figure on another at least 500 more passing yards.

Read it again. They played in the same number of games.
