Which quarterbacks gets the first-team reps during the Denver Broncos' extra day of practice this week could be emblematic of where the competition stands.
' practice schedule throughout their offseason training program has been very convenient for head coach Sean Payton. The three-day stretches of practice have allowed each of Payton's quarterbacks — incumbent Jarrett Stidham, veteran transplant Zach Wilson, and rookie first-rounder Bo Nix — equal bites at first-team offense apple.
However, this week offers a unique shake-up to the Broncos' open competition at quarterback, as it will afford one extra day of practice. Naturally, everybody gathered around the podium on Tuesday was curious to know which quarterback would be given the first-team reps that day. Many reasonable observers would question that a coach as calculating and savvy as Payton hasn't "though about" which quarterback will get the extra day, including yours truly. The arithmetic might be as simple as giving it to Stidham.
As Payton mentioned, the OTA process — and next week's mandatory minicamp — is to get the Broncos "prepared" for the intensity escalation of training camp competition. Thus, which quarterback is given this "extra" day will actually be quite symbolic of where the coaches stand on the subject of the three-way competition.
