Russell Wilson Refuses to Sacrifice Personal Stance for the Betterment of Miserable Denver Broncos

Fans ask for change. For them, it could come in any form. From firing Hackett to the GM George Paton, they need to see their team win games. Some even suggested moving on from Russell Wilson. However, that would be financially impossible. The man who leads the Denver Broncos needs to make crucial changes to help his team achieve the much-needed wins. But Mr. Unlimited made it clear in a press conference that he won’t budge from his old and trustworthy routine.

Since the team cannot replace the MVP-winning QB, replacing his old habits could very well be an answer. Although his team is 3-0 and in a deplorable state, Wilson will not make any changes to the way he carries out his routine.

He said, “No. My routine, I’ve built (it) over 11 years of my career. In terms of how you go about it every day, what time you get here. I think that allows you to have confidence and play with confidence. And not lose it, even in the midst of ebbs and flows.” He talked about how changing routines are common in baseball, a sport he’s very familiar with. Even though the Broncos have lost numerous matchups and haven’t thrown a single touchdown since Halloween, he believes consistency is the key. Conversely, the Broncos’ 13.8 points per game average is the poorest in the NFL.

Therefore, fans won’t be seeing anything different from the QB, who only threw eight TD passes. Is the personal QB coach of Russell Wilson part of the blame?

Is hiring a personal QB coach reckless of Russell Wilson?

When the Denver Broncos signed the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback, they let him take over and cheered the ‘Let Russ Cook’ mantra out loud. The team expected stars and moon from the QB as he had played exceptionally when he was a Seahawk. However, the expectations went downhill.

DangeRuss’ low inputs and an ugly record of 3-9 show how inept the team really is at this time. A theory suggests that the involvement of too many cooks is spoiling the broth.

Head coach Nathaniel Hackett guides the Wilson-led offense. The QBs coach/passing game coordinator is Klint Kubiak, and Justin Outten acts as the offensive coordinator. However, there is another coach that is involved in the team’s environment and that is Russ’ personal QB coach, Jake Heaps.

Wilson’s decision to bring a personal coach screams selfish and reckless behavior. This way, the 34-year-old could disrespect his team. Many wonder how the day-to-day business of coaching works out at UCHealth Training Center. Why does the shot-caller need a private coach when there are many offensive coaches on the team?
