Broncos’ Sean Payton: ‘Positives’ from all 3 QBs | National Sports

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton mentioned that some decisions about his starters have already been made and are “easy”. However, the quarterback battle will continue for another week. Jarrett Stidham, a veteran, started the preseason opener in Indianapolis but faced challenges with a turnover and a penalty on his two possessions. First-round pick Bo Nix came in and impressed by completing 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Nix is set to start against the Green Bay Packers after both teams participate in a joint practice. Payton was impressed by Nix’s debut and praised his decision-making, comfort in the pocket, and leadership qualities. He also mentioned areas for improvement. Although Zach Wilson had a solid performance, the focus remains on the battle between Stidham and Nix. The practice session with the Packers before the game will be crucial for evaluation. Payton emphasized the importance of settling the quarterback position before the regular season starts.
