His QBR is still 20th in the NFL and his last game was atrocious - 3 picks and 157 yards on 26 passes. The more important thing is that, to quote ESPN: "However, he undid all of that work with three interceptions in the final 16 minutes of game time, including one that sealed the loss from the Texans' eight-yard line with only 16 seconds remaining. Wilson entered the game having not thrown an interception since Week 6. He also has only one passing touchdown in three consecutive games."
He has the stats and a championship so he's a future Hall of famer. However, everyone can see that he is a shell of his former self and will probably be mediocre for the rest of his career.
At times, it's as if Wilson isn't perceiving Jeudy in the passing progression. The Broncos quarterback has missed a wide-open Jeudy more times this season than can be counted, with last week's big miss of a guaranteed touchdown on fourth down being the most glaring.
If you turn on the All-22 film, it's easy to see how Jeudy is creating separation on his routes, and getting open on the vast majority of his snaps.
"Jerry Jeudy has an unbelievable ability to get open," Wilson said. "I think he's really special.
Russell will be 34 in November. He is a diva. Russell relies much on his mobility. He is not the same QB he was and I agree he was great, certainly top 5 for a decade. Not anymore. Maybe he will have a a season or two of rejuvenation in Denver but after seeing the $ Kyler Murray got Russ will want more and it will likely not be a happy marriage when the honeymoon is over.
The Quarterback is only as good as his team! When will people quit listening to the hype of NFL TV Analysts and wakeup! Football is a TEAM game!

You are responding to someone who absolutely nailed it. Like perfectly.
Wilson is playing far FAR better than he did last season. His stats among the best in the NFL right now.
Look for next season to be even better.. A season where he will pass Fran Tarkenton on the all time TD list. Will be among the top 10 all time before he retires, The best runner/passer to ever play the game.
Give a point for 65%, 4000 yards, 30TD less than 12 INT,, 100 rating, pro bowls per season for a career, up to 13th season, there is no QB in NFL history who did it better than Russell Wilson. Go ahead try and find one, good luck.
This current season not much different than his Seahawks seasons.
Cowherd must have talked a full five minutes today about how Wilson is back right now, yep he is.

Wilson is tied for fifth with the Chargers' Justin Herbert in touchdown passes (20). He has also been far better than last season in some of the more important accuracy metrics, such as completions over expectation as well as off-target percentage, even as Denver sits in the middle of the pack in scoring -- 14th at 22.4 points per game. "The guy believes, there is no doubt about that,'' Broncos kicker Wil Lutz said. "He always believes we're going to win the game ... that's the guy you want under center.'' A season after throwing a career-low 16 touchdowns and getting sacked a career-high 55 times, he is ninth in the league in completions over expectation (2.1% over expectation), tucked between the likes of Tua Tagovailoa and Lamar Jackson. He is the fourth-best quarterback in the league among starters in percentage of off-target throws (11.7%). These are categories he finished 27th and 14th, respectively last season. Wilson and the Broncos have traded safety for impact at times, given they are still 21st in the league in red zone scoring, 17th in converting third downs and 24th in passing yardage (185 yards per game). Those are numbers that likely make Payton grind his teeth a bit -- "we need improvement there.'' The Broncos were, in some ways, more explosive during the dismal start, with five pass plays of at least 41 yards in those first six games.
Look for his next few seasons to be even better, Yep, nailed another one.
Wilson had a pro bowl season his last Seahawk season. Why the move at all, hmmmm? A season with a really bad coach, and now things pretty much back to normal.
Only member of the Superbowl winner/5000 yard rusher/over 300 passing TD's club....Russell Wilson.
Another tough game for Russell Wilson. With the Broncos in scoring position on their opening drive, he fumbled the ball away. In the first half, the Broncos went 1 of 6 on third down and generated just 75 yards of offense, falling behind 21-0.
In the third quarter, Wilson failed to get a touchdown when his team had 1st and goal, leading his coach to yell at him in front of everyone watching on television. Call me crazy, but getting yelled at by the coach suggests that Wilson is not playing well.
