The 2022 season will be one Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will like to forget. After the Broncos signed the 34-year-old quarterback from the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL world was waiting for DangeRuss to show his skills on the field in his new colors. But this was not the story for Wilson and the Broncos. Not only did the Broncos fail to qualify for the playoffs, but Wilson had his lowest career performance in his debut season for his new team. This not only made the Broncos question their investment to acquire the QB, but fans also started to doubt the ability of the player. As the offseason continues, Wilson will be looking to bounce back into the game. He shares motivational quotes now and then on his social media.

This time, Wilson took the help of a quote from Kevin Hart to dish back at his doubters.

Wilson recently shared a strong quote from Kevin Hart on his Instagram story. In the post, Hart said, “You can’t break a great spirit. There’s some people that have, you know, such a heavy, heavy weight on them with so much that they deal with. But they are able to maintain the highest levels of positivity. And it’s because of their spirit. There’s a higher thing in just wanting to be happy.”

Amidst all the criticism and hate going on for Wilson because of his performance, this might be a clap back at those naysayers that, no matter the criticism and negativity, he will bounce back at the top of his game.

The cloud of doubt and uncertainty that circles around the 34-year-old QB is somewhat justified for the fans. After all, they would expect their $245 million signing to show his worth the value. But fans are still yet to feel the value being justified by Wilson’s performance for the Broncos.

Is the 2023 season the time DangeRuss shines?

Wilson has been using his time in the offseason to train to the best of his abilities for a comeback in the new season of the NFL. Apart from spending time with his family, the QB will be wanting to prove his critics wrong, and also prove that last season was just a bad time in Wilson’s life.

But the Broncos need to think from a holistic point of view for the team and they have. If Wilson fails to bounce back for the team, they acquired a solid backup plan in the form of Jarrett Stidham. Fans have been clear about what they expect from their $245 million quarterback. It is either a Super Bowl road or money back for the Broncos, according to fans. It will be interesting to witness how the path looks ahead for the player and the team.
