00:00The rookie Bo Nix out of Oregon, the 12th overall draft pick Jarrett Stidham, a veteran
00:08backup and Zach Wilson, now in the Mile High City, have been taking various reps with the
00:13ones and the starters at different points throughout training camp, Peyton finishing
00:18with this quote, no news to announce there, I know you're looking for it, Donnie, when
00:24all is said and done, who's that week one starting quarterback for Denver?
00:28If you stink and you draft a quarterback in the first round, he's gotta be the guy
00:33that typically gets under center in week one.
00:35Now there are extreme circumstances, like we talk about Drake May in New England, which
00:39I don't think it's right, because they might open up the season 0-7, you don't want to
00:42do that to a real play, but I just figure where Denver is at at this point, just let
00:46Bo Nix go out there and get after it, and it's not one of those scenarios like, hey
00:49you know what, he only started 11 college football games, he's real green.
00:52Bo Nix has played like 16 lifetimes in college football and had a lot of success, let him
00:57spin out there, what if he got the loose on Peyton?
01:01It's going to be Bo Nix, I actually feel pretty comfortable with saying that, we have talked
01:05a lot about this DRS, there are a couple of quarterback room markets that you can bet
01:11not everyone features a rookie, Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels, for sure, 100% going to be
01:17the week one starters in Chicago and Washington respectively.
01:20I would say Bo Nix around a 98.5-99% chance, in fact just follow the odds, three
01:27rookie quarterbacks of the six that were taken in the top 12 of the 2024 NFL Draft have a
01:33season-long passing yards prop, including Bo Nix, and it's Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams
01:39who are the other two.
01:41And I would just say this, Sean Peyton, known as an offensive mastermind, 28-50 and a hook,
01:48if Bo Nix is going to start from week number one and play something like 15, 16, 17 games
01:53this year, even though the Broncos have just a measly win total of 5.5, Bo Nix is going
01:58over that number of 28-50.5.
02:00Oh he should, of course, if he's 17 games you expect him not to be a great football
02:05team which means more throwing in the fourth quarter, and also you want to put your quarterback
02:09in spots where you can actually get game film together to teach him lessons, which means,
02:13hey look, even though we're down 14 points late in this fourth quarter, we're not handing
02:17the football to get out of here, we're actually going to go try to drive down and score and
02:20get a little bit more mileage on your arm.
02:22I always love that when you say it, because the question is going to be, it's not like,
02:26hey, if he starts game number one and plays 17 weeks, is he going to cover 28-50?
02:29He absolutely is going to do that, you're just trying to guess right where his season
02:32doesn't start in week eight, right, at that point.
02:35So I'm with you on that, he starts from day number one, I don't think you pull him in
02:38week number five if he's struggling, because otherwise you do way more damage than you
02:42can begin.
02:43And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
02:46he gets over that as well.
02:52I'm with you on that, he starts from day number one, I don't think you pull him in
02:53week number five if he's struggling, because otherwise you do way more damage than you
02:54can begin.
02:55And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
02:56he gets over that as well.
02:57And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
02:58he gets over that as well.
02:59And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
03:00he gets over that as well.
03:01And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
03:02he gets over that as well.
