Mark your calendars, Denver Broncos fans.
have a big decision to make this summer. Who will be given the privilege of starting at quarterback in 2024?
“I said this relative to this time of the year," Payton said on Tuesday. "It’s not just the quarterback , but obviously, you’re watching that position. Every day, we’re rolling them different with the ones, twos, and threes... I would say, I have an end date: that would be the week before the first game, but I don’t have a set date.”
In every case listed above, the coaching staff was deciding between a younger, inexperienced quarterback with a high-round draft pedigree and an ever-so-slightly more proven veteran. The Broncos are faced with a similar calculation in 2024. “I still think we always talk about the locker room and the players in the locker room," Payton said. "I think when we get into training camp and when we get into the preseason games, I think oftentimes the decisions take care of themselves. But the object is to win. I understand the question, but in our league it’s year-to-year. We’re competing to win this year, and we’re going to make the right decision relative to who gives us that opportunity.
However, last month, Payton waxed poetic on the conditions that traditionally need to be met in the NFL for a team to confidently tap a rookie as the starter out of training camp.. "If you have a starter in the building, then that’s the path you go. Then sometimes, you don’t have that luxury, and then that’s the path you go. A lot of it is dependent on the quarterback, his mental makeup. So I think it just varies.
