Jarrett Stidham finishing the offseason training program as the leader in the QB clubhouse comes as a moderate surprise.
We heard a few things about Zach Wilson — the veteran newcomer acquired via trade before the NFL draft — but not much was positive, andthat Denver is focused on repairing the former No. 2 overall pick's confidence. That doesn't say much for his viability as a plausible starter.
Nix and Wilson are in Year 1 of Payton's scheme, so unlike Stidham, they've had to weather a learning curve as they've acclimated to being in Denver. Thus, if Stidham managed to edge out Nix this offseason by anything other than a wide margin, it wouldn't be a good harbinger for how the QB battle will coalesce for the veteran in training camp.
The question remains unanswered whether the Broncos have such a "luxury" at quarterback. Stidham has started a grand total of four games as a pro, so that disqualifies him as being a bonafide "starter in the building" guy, strictly speaking.
