As it turns out, Brett Rypien is a better cook than Russell Wilson … for the money

Russell Wilson is not as good in the Denver Broncos’ kitchen as his backup Brett Rypien is.

The notion of Let Russ Cook has sadly bit the dust, as Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brett Rypien is doing things in the kitchen Russell Wilson could never even dream of.

Wilson’s first year in The Mile High City has gone to hell in a hand basket faster than you can say Paxton Lynch. Rypien, who has been in Denver for a minute now, is straight rippin’ darts to his Broncos teammates, much more prolifically than the limited Mr. Unlimited ever could. Points have been at a premium in Denver since Peyton Manning rode off into the sunset after Super Bowl 50.

The Broncos scored more points in their 24-15 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon with Rypien as their starting quarterback than in 11 of the 12 games Wilson has been their starter.

This is what happens when the transatlantic airplane high-knees don’t work ’cause you don’t got that Wolverine blood in you, man.

Two cooks in the kitchen: Brett Rypien is better than Russell Wilson … in Denver

Admittedly, this was a rare Sunday where Broncos football was enjoyable. It used to be enjoyable pretty much all the time, but Broncos Country is in the midst of its worst run to date. This seven-year itch is in year No. 7, so one would think they will flip the script in 2023. Too bad Denver has one of the worst head coaches in the NFL and the front office cannot draft a quarterback at all.

Thus, the Broncos traded so much of their precious draft capital to a rebuilding Seattle Seahawks team that is already better than them. Seattle can turn this thing around much quicker than Denver ever could. While Seattle can maneuver a hard left bank in the air, Denver looks to be in the midst of a Suez Canal jam of the unforgiven Ever Given. At this point, just let Rypien let it rip, man.

If you wanted to do the math, because you are so incredibly smart and all, you nerd, you, a Wilson touchdown has costed the Broncos a cool $4 million, while a Rypien touchdown has only costed them a mere $482,500. Money does not grown on trees, but Walmart is about to no longer have the lowest prices on the block. The Waltons are not used to throwing money away quite like this.

Despite the win, the Broncos are between a rock and a hard place, and that rock is not a diamond.
