The Denver Broncos are off to a rocky 0-2 start with rookie quarterback Bo Nix underperforming. Despite rushing for a touchdown in Week 1, Nix has made four interceptions without a touchdown pass, leaving him with a dismal QB rating of 51.35. Head coach Sean Payton's choice to stick with Nix instead of alternatives like Jarrett Stidham or Zach Wilson has sparked criticism.
Some believe it’s time to bench Nix, arguing that doing so could save his confidence. Yet, the dilemma lies in the potential long-term impact of benching a first-round pick. Payton insists on supporting Nix through challenges and emphasizes the need for patience as he develops. With major financial constraints affecting the team, 2024 appears to be a developmental year for Nix.
