Russell Wilson’s season with Broncos has been far from good. Before the start of the season, Wilson was revered by the Broncos Nation because of the picture of redemption he portrayed.

Unfortunately for the Broncos and Wilson, the clock is running out. The period for adjustment has long passed, yet they have seen no positive signs of progress. After a 16-22 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Broncos have slipped to 3-7 all the way at the bottom of the AFC West. Fans have had enough of the Broncos quarterback. At this point, they will be ready to exhibit violence if Wilson says ‘Let’s Ride’ another time.
