The fallout of now-former Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett has left shockwaves throughout the NFL. The 4-11 start and failed paring with high-profile off-season quarterback acquisition Russell Wilson led to his untimely pink slip.
Wilson has had his fair share of criticism this season, from his play on the field (career lows in completion percentage with 60.1 percent and touchdowns with 12) to his off-field quotes (we all know about “Let’s Ride”).
However, despite the criticism, Broncos interim coach Jerry Rosborg fully supports Wilson and will continue to move forward with Wilson as the starting quarterback.
“Russell Wilson is our starting quarterback and will be our starting quarterback,” Rosburg said Wednesday.
Rosborg also stated that the coaching staff would create the best game plan to maximize Wilson and the offense.
“We’re going to do everything we can to put a game plan in place for Russell Wilson to be successful,” the interim coach said. “I’m really confident talking to our offensive coaches over the course of the last two days and going through the meetings with them and the walkthroughs. I’m really confident that we’re going to be able to do that.”
The Broncos will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs on New Year’s Day.
