Russell Wilson is a Super Bowl winner, one of the finest quarterbacks of the 2010s, with a history of playing at an MVP level. Mike Purcell is a seven-team football journeyman – eight if you count the Salt Lake Stallions of the short-lived Alliance of American Football – who's never even sniffed a Pro Bowl. But on Sunday afternoon, late in the throes of a miserable Denver loss to Carolina, Purcell barked at Wilson like the quarterback was a rookie who had forgotten to pick up the morning's donuts:
Perhaps Wilson wasn’t looking motivated enough for Purcell’s liking. Perhaps Wilson was trying yet another limp “Let’s Ride!” slogan. Perhaps Purcell was just fed up with hammering away on defense to set up an offense that was doing little more than punt practice. Regardless, it was a remarkable scene of disarray., Purcell replied,""Frustration. We want a spark on something," he said."We all are in this together, period.
Flash back to about seven years ago. Denver was raising its third Lombardi Trophy in Levi’s Stadium, having just beaten these same Panthers. There was just one problem: the quarterback they apparently targeted was Aaron Rodgers – who is not, as you may have noticed, currently in a Broncos uniform. Exactly eight days later, Denver shocked the NFL world when news broke that it had shipped two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-rounder, and three players to Seattle for Wilson. This, despite the fact that Wilson had not included Denver on the list of teams in February for which he’d like to play should he be traded – a list that included Dallas, Chicago, New Orleans and Las Vegas.
