The Russell Wilson trade is just not working out for the Denver Broncos. The QB had another bad day in the office as the Rams blew away the Broncos. And he was at the heart of multiple turnovers in the game. Fans are so mad that they have drawn odd parallels between Wilson’s $25 million asset and his performance for the franchise this season.
The Broncos signed Wilson on a blockbuster deal from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason. But he hasn’t shown the form that won him the Super Bowl against this very team all those years ago.

The Rams rubbed salt on the wounds of the already down-and-out Broncos as they tore their defense apart. Russell Wilson was a little more than an onlooker as Baker Mayfield and Co. ran 51-14 victors in a week 16 Christmas day clash. After the game, a weird fact emerged about Wilson’s $25 million mansion and his numbers for the Broncos this season.

The NFL world was quick to draw parallels between the numbers. And in turn, the fans trolled the Broncos QB left and right after another shocking performance. This fan gives a reason for Wilson having so many bathrooms in his mansion.
When your as shitty as him, you need a lot of toilets.

Another fan blames the Broncos for paying Wilson so much money.
Highway robbery at this point 😅. Don’t blame Wilson for getting his money, blame the Broncos for being stupid.

A fan jokingly gives Wilson’s stats for the season, basketball style.
Triple double for Wilson this year: 12 bathrooms✅ 12 TDS✅; 10’INTs (9 currently with two games remaining).

This fan wants to know more about the bathrooms.
I wonder if he’s pooped in each one yet.

For this fan, the analogy is really appropriate.
Appropriate analogy as Wilson’s season is total 💩.

Another fan thinks having more kitchens is the way forward for Wilson.
Maybe if he had 12 kitchens he would be able to cook 🤷♀️

Well, that was brutal. But it was still way less brutal than the way the reigning Super Bowl champions mauled Wilson and the Broncos.
Another shocking performance

Russell Wilson continued his string of shocking performances for the Broncos in week 16 too. Returning to the lineup after missing the last game due to a concussion, Wilson struggled from the word go. And by the end of the game, the Broncos were blown out of the water at the SoFi Stadium.
Wilson had a pass completion rate of just 55.6%, completing just 15 of his 27 pass attempts. He did throw a touchdown pass to tight end Greg Dulcich, but that came too late in the fourth quarter. By then, the QB had already turned over the ball thrice through interceptions.

Wilson has nine interceptions this season and just 12 touchdown passes, a shocking ratio for an elite QB. Will he get a chance next season? Can he prove all the doubters wrong in the remaining games this season?
