The Denver Broncos have announced that Jarrett Stidham will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. This news comes after a tumultuous start to the season, with the team struggling to find consistency at the position.
Stidham was acquired by the Broncos in the offseason, and was expected to compete for the starting job. However, he was quickly surpassed by veteran quarterback Drew Lock, who was named the starter in Week 1. Lock struggled throughout the season, and was eventually benched in favor of Stidham in Week 5.
Since taking over the starting job, Stidham has shown flashes of potential. He has completed over 60 percent of his passes and thrown for over 1,000 yards in five games. He has also thrown five touchdowns and just two interceptions.
The Broncos have decided to stick with Stidham for the remainder of the season, citing his potential and the team’s need for stability at the position. They believe that Stidham can develop into a long-term starter if given the opportunity.
The decision to stick with Stidham could be a risky one, as he is still relatively inexperienced. However, it could also pay off in the long run if he is able to continue to develop and improve.
For now, the Broncos will hope that Stidham can continue to show improvement and provide stability at the quarterback position. If he can do that, then the team may have finally found their long-term answer at quarterback.
