The Denver Broncos quarterback competition is getting spicey.
rookie quarterback Bo Nix has steadily been building up a head of steam since training camp began. The first-rounder had an impressive Saturday performance —Monday was the Broncos' first padded practice, and it just so happened that it was Nix's turn in the three-quarterback rotation to run with the starting offense. Following the practice, buzz continued to mount about the recent Heisman Trophy finalist.
Music to Sean Payton's ears and sweet relief to his football eyes after suffering through a tremulous 2023 campaign with Russell Wilson as his quarterback. The ball rarely went where the play-call designed it to go, with Wilson at the helm, and Payton's frustrations over his low-volume, disjointed passing offense eventually boiled over publicly late in the season with sideline spats. Wilson was eventually benched and released.
Nix is not only a direct reflection of the smart, cocky, and assertive Payton but also an extension of that personality on the gridiron. The early returns on Nix are more than encouraging, and even though it's only a matter of course before Payton gives the reins to the rookie, the Broncos' quarterback competition 'decision' will likely go down to the wire., Stidham has played not to lose the starting job while Nix is playing to win it.
Still, the grizzled head coach is keeping his public praise of Nix to a relative minimum. Privately, my bet is that Payton and his offensive assistants are high-fiving and fist-pumping in the coaches' meeting room when watching the rookie's film.
