Among many clueless and angry people on the earth, there must be quite a lot. One of the more prominent faction in the case of sports will be the Denver Broncos fans. The group started the year with a lot of renewed hope. After making a blockbuster move for NFL superstar, Russell Wilson. The team had great expectations going into the season. While no one could guarantee that they will win the division or the AFC, the playoffs were a seemingly real ceiling for what they could achieve with a component QB. However, they ended the season 5-12 and at the bottom of the AFC West division.

Even with the Las Vegas Raiders stumbling across the season, Broncos had the worst record in their division. This was truly a show of underperformance. Under Wilson, the offense ranked bottom with the lowest points per game (16.9) metric. HC Nathaniel Hackett found his tenure with the team cut short even before the season concluded.

To cause further complications to their future, the management handed Russ a 5-year $242 million deal right after acquiring him. The numbers associated with his contract will make it near impossible for the team to move on from the QB after 1 season. This leaves them with only one choice, which is to help the 34-year-old succeed with his new team.
