This year has seen a lot of changes for the faithful at the Empower Field. Everything from ownership to quarterback position has undergone a major change. While Russell Wilson was believed to be the man to turn things around at Denver, things have not played out as he would have hoped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wilson has underperformed severely at Denver so far this season. In addition to that, fans have been put off by his comments regarding both himself and his team, which seem delusional to put it lightly. While the scrutiny on Wilson is at an all-time high, it appears as though things could get a lot worse after recent comments by former teammates Richard Sherman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russell Wilson sounding like a high school football coach on the sidelines \ud83d\ude02 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tpLsJkZm0z\">https:\/\/t.co\/tpLsJkZm0z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bussin&#39; With The Boys (@BussinWTB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BussinWTB\/status\/1570430265947787265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent podcast, Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch, both former teammates of Wilson, discussed their former quarterback\u2019s struggles. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200b\u200b&#8221;He&#8217;s on the struggle bus&#8221;,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sherman stated. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I really want to reach out to dawg&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, replied Lynch. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Yeah, we&#8217;ll talk to him&#8230; his manager.
