Will the rookie be the starter? Bo Nix was also able to collect extra points in the Denver Broncos’ second preseason game.
No, Sean Payton was not offended.
The Denver Broncos head coach knows enough that the bottom line is that the preseason is “just” preparation. Even though his rookie quarterback showed a great performance in the 27:2 victory against the Green Bay Packers.
“He played well,” Payton said. “I’m not going to name a starting quarterback tonight. I’ll let you know when I do, but I thought he played well,” Payton said.
“You can feel that he’s feeling comfortable”
“You can feel that he is getting comfortable because he is getting used to the calls that come. You have to feel the excitement when he plays,” Payton continued.
Nix completed eight of nine passes for 80 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to Tim Patrick. His QB rating ended at 140.7. Nix led two scoring drives.
In all, he led the Broncos to six scoring drives in two preseason games. He completed 23 of 33 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions while adding 29 yards on the ground on six carries. Good numbers and overall a good performance on the pitch.
Nix, who was selected twelfth by the Broncos in the last draft, should be in the lead in the duel with Jarrett Stidham despite how difficult the coach was in the race for the starting position. In contrast, he collects many more goals than his rival.
“I think it’s a good fit. I came here and [ich fühlte mich] “Very comfortable with the first few plays that were called,” Nix said, “they did it in a way that made me feel comfortable, and that’s very important, especially for someone trying to come enter here and play. You want to run plays that you’re comfortable with, and that’s exactly what Coach Payton asked.”
