With the NFL preseason underway and the official season slowly approaching, it appears the Denver Broncos still have some unanswered questions when it comes to the starting quarterback.

While head coach Sean Payton has yet to officially name who the starter will be, it is fairly apparent for Broncos Country that Bo Nix will be the guy. But that is the main aspect to focus on: Payton has yet to name the starter.

Throughout camp and practices, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson continue to put in the work and strive to prove they belong as the Broncos starter. However, they're not letting the competition derail their main focus, as Stidham explained in an press conference via Denver Posts' Troy Renck:

"I've just been focused on every single day, that's just the kind of person and play I am. [I] don't really get caught up in what's happened or what is going to happen... [I am] focused on doing my job and helping my guys go down the field and score a lot of points".

 

 

Zach Wilson also touched on how camp has felt for the him and the team, highlighting what it has been able to do, per CBS News Colorado's Romi Bean:

"[I feel] a lot more comfortable. I think just making these play calls feel like second nature, being able to go in there and call them... without thinking twice and know exactly what your assignment is, and I feel like all of the guys are getting to that point too".

 

 

Whatever happens when it comes game time and whoever is called up to lead the Broncos, it is extremely nice to see that the chemistry is high within the QB room, as well as the team team, and that at the end of the day, winning football games is the highest priority.
