Bo Nix named Broncos’ Starting QB (Merged)

He's looked solid so far, seems like he knows where to go with the ball. It's still preseason, of course, and I have no idea how he'll play late in the fourth quarter when the game is on the line, but he seems like a good fit for Payton's offense. He's also been pretty safe with his throws, mostly short stuff, not a lot down field, but he's looked better than Stidham.

With his experience coming out of college he should have a relatively high floor for a rookie quarterback, but I'm curious to see how high his ceiling is. He's got decent athleticism (arm strength, release, mobility), nothing that makes you wince, but nothing that makes you go "wow." Payton allegedly zeroed in on him pretty quickly in the draft process, but I do wonder how much of that was out of necessity, as he knew he probably wouldn't have a shot at anyone else.
