Episode notes
Stidham Is Serviceable But Not Bo Nix
- Jared Stidham will be competent in Sean Payton's system but is a clear downgrade from Bo Nix, especially in mobility.
- The betting line swung too far; Stidham's presence shouldn't create a seven-point shift according to Adam Levitan.
Broncos Offense Tilted Toward Passing
- Denver's game plan versus Buffalo was throw-heavy and showed Sean Payton's willingness to adapt to matchup advantages.
- Denver's defense still yields yards and hasn't been consistently dominant since the bye, so quarterback loss is the bigger issue.
Stidham's Strong Preseason Showing
- Adam Levitan recounts Jared Stidham's excellent preseason, noting he played exceptionally well in limited action.
- That preseason performance partly explains confidence in Stidham handling the moment despite being a downgrade.
