Mark Schlereth Criticizes Russell Wilson’s 2023 Stats As ‘Fool’s Gold’

The Pittsburgh Steelers made quite a shocking move this offseason when they signed Russell Wilson to a cheap deal. Wilson may be a Super Bowl champion, but he hasn’t looked like an elite quarterback since the Seattle Seahawks traded him to the Denver Broncos. His first year with the Broncos was awful, but his second year actually wasn’t too bad, at least on paper. He threw 26 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions, while also passing for over 3,000 yards. The numbers aren’t mind-blowing, but they also aren’t terrible. However, if you ask one former NFL offensive lineman, those stats don’t tell the full story and paint a fraudulent picture.
