"Russell Wilson should be in prison", "Can’t think of another QB who went from great to garbage this quickly" - Broncos QB gets cooked on social media after another disastrous performance

Russell Wilson's horrendous start to the 2022 NFL season continued on Monday night, as the Denver Broncos quarterback dropped another disastrous performance against the Los Angeles Chargers in his team's 19-16 loss.

Wilson attempted 28 passes and completed only 15 for 188 passing yards against a Chargers defense that ranked 31st in the league in points allowed. The quarterback did start the game on fire, completing 10/10 for 116 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter.

That early form inexplicably dissipated in the second quarter, and he completed only five more passes for 72 yards through three quarters and overtime. The loss saw the Broncos drop to 2-4 for the season.

Wilson did not get any sympathy on social media as fans roasted the quarterback's poor outing. The "Let Russ Cook" moniker has quickly become a meme this season:

Russell Wilson's contract aging poorly already

Six games into his career as a Denver Bronco, Russell Wilson has failed to show much to justify his mammoth $245 million contract with the team. The Broncos gave up three players and five picks for the former Seattle Seahawks quarterback, only to see his replacement in Seattle outplay him so far this season.

Wilson is on the Broncos' books until the 2028 NFL season. If the quarterback fails to turn around this poor form, the team will face the horror of having to field an aging and declining signal-caller for multiple seasons, who is realistically untradeable due to the size of his contract.

The Broncos will likely not pull the plug on Wilson this early in his tenure as a member of their roster. They will exercise patience and exhaust every option before benching the quarterback or cutting ties via a trade or release.

But given the size of his contract and the fact that they have traded their top two picks in the 2023 and 2024 NFL drafts to the Seahawks, it will be tough for the Broncos to field more talent around Russell Wilson than they currently do.

It's not looking good in Mile High.
