Sean Payton: No 'Set Date' to Name Broncos' QB1 amid Nix, Wilson, Stidham Competition | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Don't expect to know the Denver Broncos' No. 1 quarterback anytime soon.

Head coach Sean Payton provided an update on the competition between Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson on Tuesday, and he doesn't seem in a rush to name the starter.

"I would say I have an end date—that would be the week before the first game—but I don't have a set date [to name the starter]," he said in a video from the team (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk).

Williams noted the three signal-callers are splitting first-team reps at this point, further indicating there is no clear leader.

While he might not start the Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks, the Broncos surely see Nix as their quarterback of the future after selecting him with the No. 12 overall pick. That means he will likely get some game action during his rookie season, especially since he's not exactly competing against vets with robust resumes.

Wilson has failed to live up to expectations after he was the No. 2 overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft and went 12-21 as a starter with the New York Jets.

Stidham is just 1-3 as a starter during his career, although he is the one with the advantage of familiarity since he was with the Broncos last year.

As for Nix, he is coming off being named the 2023 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year at Oregon after he completed 77.4 percent of his passes for 4,508 yards, 45 touchdowns and three interceptions.

He won't be putting up those numbers in the NFL, but he likely has the highest ceiling of the three as they all battle for the starting job.
