Broncos head coach Sean Payton said last week that we will begin to see a change in the quarterback rotation.
Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos fires a pass during training camp at Broncos Park in Englewood, Colorado on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Following a grueling six straight days of practice, Broncos head coach Sean Payton made it clear that the team is still in the early stages of camp, saying there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.But when it comes down to the quarterback competition, there’s seem to be a small crack of light glaring in the distance.
When the Broncos strapped on the pads for the first two days of practice, Nix looked overwhelmed in the pocket. Suddenly, he began to click. Nix seemed to be in command of the offense and was efficient, as the ball rarely threw an incompletion during the team period. “I think he knows when the play is over, time to go,” Payton said. “ Brees was one of those guys. He was a tough sack. The ball came out , and I think Bo has traits like that.”
Overall, Nix has made progress and the Broncos have been pleased. He had first-team reps in four of the six practices. And on Saturday, Stidham started off with the first team before Nix took No. 1 reps for the majority of the morning. Denver’s preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday might shed more light on which direction Payton will ultimately go.
Wilson — who has the best arm among the three quarterbacks — has been more willing to take shots down the field, even though his attempts have been unsuccessful. On his first play of the team period on Saturday, Wilson launch the ball down the field to Franklin, but his pass was overthrown. One thing that’s certain: Nix will be handed the keys. It’s just a matter of when. If he continues to stack up good days like he did this week, it’s hard to imagine why Payton wouldn’t want to kick off the Nix era during the season opener against Seattle in September. Nix didn’t walk into a situation where there was an established starting quarterback in the building.
