Russell Wilson and Broncos need an improved season

Denver Broncos v Kansas City Chiefs

Russell Wilson's debut season as a Denver Bronco was nothing short of disastrous. Amid much anticipation and high hopes of Denver becoming a formidable Super Bowl contender, it became evident early on that those aspirations would not be met.

The offense struggled under the guidance of new head coach Nathaniel Hackett, resulting in his dismissal.

Russell Wilson, unable to generate sufficient points, endured a 4-11 record as the starting quarterback. He threw for 3,524 yards, recording a career-low of 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The offense managed a meager 16.9 points per game, ranking last in the league, while the defense salvaged victories by limiting opponents to an average of just 21.1 points per game.

Now with Sean Payton at the helm, Russell Wilson is expected to be far better than the 2022 version and in truth, it won't be that hard.

Denver possesses all the necessary pieces to compete in the AFC; they simply need to address Wilson's performance and overall quarterback play. The Broncos' front office is pinning their hopes on Payton's ability to effect this transformation, as rumors circulate that he may part ways with Wilson if unsuccessful.

The upcoming season holds great significance for Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos, as the franchise is determined to show marked improvement over the previous year.
