Russell Wilson vs. the narrative: bad start or bad fit for the Broncos?

The Russell Wilson-era of the Denver Broncos has started off so disappointing that a Manny Ramirez snap over the head of Peyton Manning in Super Bowl 48 seems salvageable by comparison.

After building a Hall-of-Fame level career in Seattle for 10 years, Wilson has made his new start in Denver statistically the worst of his career.

He has completed fewer than 60% of his passes, has just 4 touchdowns in 5 games to 3 interceptions, and he can’t seem to find a way to score in the red zone even if he had Marshawn Lynch circa-2014 in the backfield.
