Discussion turned to the role of Broncos’ coach, Nathaniel Hackett, in Wilson’s performance. Chad Ochocinco Johnson compared Hackett’s strict approach to that of new coach Sean Peyton, raising doubts about its effectiveness. Johnson said, “But is it the time to hit the panic button in week two?”

Off-script, he falters, resulting in a low passer rating.

Cowherd points out that the big money invested in Wilson reflects his past playmaking abilities, particularly in the second half during his Seattle days. The reasons behind his current struggles remain uncertain – “What happened [to Russell] I don’t know emotional confidence physical never had a major surgery I don’t have the answers.” Sean Payton’s patience is wearing thin, raising questions about Wilson’s future performance.
