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.

03:03And Peyton's a good coach, he's done good things with quarterbacks in the past, I think
