This week, the Denver Broncos made it clear that they intend to part ways with starting quarterback Russell Wilson as the team has benched him for the final two games of the season in favor of veteran backup Jarrett Stidham. And based on his recent social media activity, it sounds like Wilson thinks he’s being treated unfairly.
Following news of the Denver Broncos’ decision to bench Russell Wilson and likely move on from him as their starting quarterback after the season, Wilson “liked” a social media post comparing his statistics this season to the statistics of Patrick Mahomes, who is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the league.
“Russell Wilson is now getting BENCHED despite outplaying some of the leagues biggest ‘stars’
Wilson 2023:
Passing TDs: 26
INTs: 8
Yards/Attempt: 6.9
Rushing TDs: 3
Mahomes 2023:
Passing TDs: 26
INTs: 14
Yards/Attempt: 6.9
Rushing TDs: 0
Make it make sense…,” the post said.

Imagine him thinking he's even playing the same position as Mahomes

Still could've won the division and upper management is throwing in the towel insane. They should be fined and have draft picks taken away

It’s pretty clear that Wilson is not at all pleased with the move from the Denver Broncos to bench him, and his social media use seems to prove it.
