In 2022, the Denver Broncos made a huge gamble by trading multiple assets for Russell Wilson, hoping that he and newly-minted head coach Nathaniel Hackett would end the franchise's post-Peyton Manning era of futility. The experiment failed horribly.

As Wilson had the worst performance of his career, the Broncos fell to last place in the AFC West, and Hackett was fired before the year was even over. His old friends in Seattle, meanwhile, shockingly made the playoffs under Geno Smith, massively subverting expectations.

Still, the Broncos are keeping their faith in their quarterback, pairing him with Super Bowl winner Sean Payton. But with such a low floor to begin from, Wilson will have to outplay Derek Carr, Justin Herbert, and even Patrick Mahomes before considering a return to the 80s, rating-wise, that is.
