I just heard today he is rated the 32nd worst QB in the NFL this year. If this is true how far the mighty have fallen.
First a nitpick, then some numbers on Wilson's season.
Wouldn't the 32nd-worst QB in the league be one of the top QBs? More than 32 might make the minimum-attempt cutoff to appear in the table, so he might not be #1, but he'd be up pretty high.
Getting to the numbers, Wilson is definitely closer to 32nd-best than to 32nd-worst this season.
Wilson is currently
25th in DYAR (-41),
25th in DVOA (-13.4%),
28th in QBR (33.0),
28th in passer rating (88.4),
20th in ANY/A (5.71),
34th in comp% (57.4%, better only than Baker Mayfield among qualifying QBs, and behind luminaries such as Justin Fields, Mitch Trubisky, and injured Zach Wilson), and
34th-best in sack% (9.7%, and here I specified "34th-best" because unlike the other stats on this list, a higher sack percentage is worse).
The thing about the sacks reminds me of something Bill Walton said about Dennis Rodman back in the 1990s: "isn't it funny how the best record in the NBA follows Dennis Rodman from team to team?" Similarly, isn't it funny how "offensive-line problems" have followed Wilson from Seattle to Denver? I started predicting back in May that by mid-season, Broncos fans and talking-head mediots would be wondering why the Broncos OL suddenly got so much worse. It hasn't actually worked out quite like that. The Broncos' line is indeed having trouble keeping RW3-and-out from getting sacked a lot, but Broncos fans and mediots are all pretending the Broncos OL was bad all along and listing it as one of the mitigating factors for how bad Wilson has been. Never mind that before the season they were telling us that now we were going to see Wilson unleashed behind a better OL and with a coaching staff that wouldn't shackle him and keep him from reaching his true potential.
