While the Denver Broncos were one of the favorites to make it to the playoffs, they have defied all expectations. After acquiring former Super Bowl winner, Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade before the season started. They entered the tournament with high hopes. However, they are currently sitting at the bottom of the AFC West, with a record of 3-10. Following their horrible record, Nathaniel Hackett, the first-year head coach, has received a lot of blame. But Russ’ own mentor and Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon did not shy away to share his opinion on the troubles of the Broncos.

The Hall of Famer has a great relationship with Wilson, yet he has been very about the situation of the Broncos. According to the 66-year-old, while everybody wants to blame the coach, Russ deserves his share of criticism. “Everybody wants to blame the coach, but this is what Russell wanted.” Moon said. “He wanted to be a pocket quarterback. That’s what he has always wanted. All that stuff about, ‘Let Russ cook’ is really him talking about wanting to be in the pocket all the time. He can’t do that. He’s too short.”

Denver has the lowest points per game (14.9) out of all the teams, they are on their way to a historically bad offensive season.
