Broncos legend thinks Sean Payton can fix Russell Wilson

The Denver Broncos are taking an costly gamble that Sean Payton can repair no matter troubled quarterback Russell Wilson in the course of the 2022 season. There may be not less than one Broncos legend, Corridor of Fame operating again Terrell Davis, who thinks he can. 

Davis instructed TMZ Sports activities that he is all-in on Payton and believes he has the flexibility to get Wilson again on monitor. 

“I’ve already seen what he can do with quarterbacks, which leads me to be very optimistic in what he can do with Russell Wilson,” Davis stated of Payton.

That was a really apparent shot at former head coach Nathaniel Hackett who didn’t even make it by his first season because the Broncos head coach. It was clear from the start that Hackett was in over his head and was not going to have the ability to do something for Wilson or the Broncos offense.

“He is not washed. He is not damaged,” Davis stated of Wilson. “However clearly, when you may have a surrounding assist system that does not assist what you do effectively, it is going to expose your flaws.”

Now the Broncos are hoping that Payton can do what Hackett could not.

On one hand, Payton’s monitor file as an offensive coach is without doubt one of the finest within the NFL. However the Broncos have spent so many draft picks and participant property to accumulate Wilson and Payton that it has severely depleted their draft-pick stockpile, whereas Wilson’s contract has eaten up a ton of salary-cap area. That’s going to present Payton an extremely troublesome job on the subject of making the group aggressive once more.

Denver had one of many league’s finest defenses a yr in the past, however its offense was among the many worst.

The Broncos haven’t made the playoffs because the 2015 season (seven consecutive seasons with out a playoff look) and haven’t had a successful file because the 2016 season.
