PIT was doing well before he got the start and they beat a … what was he called a few weeks ago… a “washed Rodgers” and Jets team in PIT. Nice win, but I’m not about to think Denver made a mistake in letting him go.

For the record, when Denver traded for Wilson I expressed on CP that I didn't like it. Not overly concerned, but felt like he almost certainly would make the Broncos better. When it all went to hell that first year I just assumed I must be wrong and Russ somehow sucks now. His play along with being such an incredible dork just screamed "yikes" all around.
You're right that it's a very small sample size so far. He'll need to really get and keep rolling to fully shake off the stink of the past two years.
