After wandering the quarterback desert for nearly a decade, the Denver Broncos have finally found their guy in Bo Nix.

After the Broncos' season came to an end after a blowout loss to the Bills in the Wild Card round, Sean Payton say Bo Nix is the real deal.

The rookie quarterback led the Broncos to a 10-7 regular-season record and their first postseason appearance since 2015. Even after Denver’s 31-7 wild-card loss in Buffalo, Broncos owner/CEO Greg Penner was unequivocal in his assessment of Nix at the team’s end-of-season news conference on Wednesday.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been officially nominated for NFL.com’s 2024 Rookie of the Year award, voted on by fans.

Denver Broncos owner Greg Penner, general manager George Paton and head coach Sean Payton all spoke glowingly of QB Bo Nix, who they believe is the future of the franchise under center.

As the Denver Broncos begin to sift through all that was the 2024 season, they have already come away with at least one conclusion: They found their quarterback of the present and future in Bo Nix. The Broncos ended an eight-year playoff drought with a 10-7 finish but saw how much work is left to be done in a 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday in an AFC wild-card game.

The Denver Broncos might elect to bring in a new backup QB in 2025. Could they sign one of these three players to do that this offseason?
