Bo Nix was named the Broncos starting QB for Week 1. Nix has been impressive in his first two preseason games, so this was not a surprise. I felt like it wouldn't be long before Nix became the starter in Denver, and here we are. Nix is the first rookie Broncos QB to start Week 1 since John Elway in 1983. Personally, I know what Jarrett Stidham is at this point in the NFL. He is a spot-starter, backup QB. We need to find out what Nix is-especially since he was selected in the first round of the draft. Nix brings an added element of excitement for the Broncos as they head into the season opener at Seattle.
Training Camp Thoughts...
-This summer was crazy, so I never did a true training camp preview, but the vibes in Denver's camp are way more positive than last year. Sean Payton seems to be more relaxed and happy with this group, and the feeling from people covering the Broncos in camp is that this team has a good vibe around it.
-You can tell how much Payton loves Bo Nix. He is so much more complimentary of him than he was with Russell Wilson last year in training camp. He really believes in Nix and believes he can do well as a rookie QB starting Week 1.
-The Broncos had a solid training camp and a good preseason. Going 3-0 in preseason really means nothing, but the positivity around this team seemed very obvious in camp and in the preseason games. Where that goes, we'll see.
-Young and hungry are the two words that everyone around the Broncos keeps using when describing this team. I think that's a good phrase for this group, but it doesn't mean that they are going to win 10 games and make the playoffs.
