Last season didn't go as planned for Wilson, especially following a blockbuster trade from Seattle and signing a high-value contract. Under Nathaniel Hackett's coaching, his performance lagged.
While some hope he'll bounce back under Sean Payton, not everyone shares that optimism. Former Super Bowl champion wide receiver James Jones is notably skeptical, stating he has "zero" confidence in Wilson. "He had a string of bad games last year, and he never turned it around. I haven't seen anything to make me believe he'll improve," Jones explained.
Last season, Wilson recorded career-lows with a quarterback rating of 84.4 and a QBR of 36.7, throwing for 3,524 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His underperformance contributed to a chaotic Denver offense and led to Hackett's firing after just 15 games. Despite past success in Seattle and an already impressive career, Wilson has much to prove if he wants to solidify his role as a starting QB.
