Who Should I Start? Jarrett Stidham or Bo Nix

Sunday, August 17, 11:27 AM

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham got the start in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals and looked amazing, going 16-for-23 passing for 240 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-7 victory. Starter Bo Nix got this game off, so Stidham saw most of the action under center before giving way to Sam Ehlinger late. Rookie receiver Pat Bryant was one of Stidham's favorite targets, as he hooked up with him four times for 70 yards. Second-year pass-catcher Troy Franklin was his other favorite target, and both of his TDs went to the Oregon product. The 29-year-old Stidham signed a two-year, $12 million contract with Denver back in March to return as Nix's backup in 2025 and beyond. Based on the way Stidham looked on Saturday, Denver's offense could still be decent this year if Nix misses time with injury.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos held on for a 13-11 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday in London. The second-year quarterback also added 24 rushing yards on five carries in a game thoroughly dominated by defense. Nix's overall numbers weren't remarkable, but he also didn't commit a turnover as the Denver defense held New York to just 82 total yards and recorded nine sacks. The Broncos have a favorable schedule coming up, with Nix set to take on a Dallas Cowboys defense currently ranked 32nd in net yards per attempt in Week 7.
