Broncos player Jarrett Stidham has “no doubts” he will be NFL starting quarterback despite losing his job to a rookie

Bo Nix secured the job as starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos in the preseason, ensuring that he will be QB1 when the team begins its 2024 regular-season campaign against the Seattle Seahawks.

Nix beat out Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson. Stidham expressed disappointment at losing the job to the rookie quarterback from Oregon, but still believed he could be a starter in the NFL.

“First of all, of course, I was very disappointed,” he said via NFL.com. “I know I'm a starting quarterback in this league. I have no doubts about that, and it just didn't go the way I wanted it to. I know what kind of player I am, what kind of person I am.”

“Like I said, I'll be ready when I need to be. Like I said, I have no doubt that I'm a starting quarterback in this league.”

Stidham was originally supposed to be Tom Brady's successor at the New England Patriots after he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the start of the 2020 season. But Stidham never got a starting spot and lost out to Cam Newton. He landed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 and moved to the Broncos last year.

He replaced Russell Wilson for a few games last season and had a 1-1 record in two starts, recording 496 passing yards and two touchdown passes.

“I think they know what I can do. I think I showed that last year whenever I was asked to play the last two games, during practice, training camp, OTAs, the whole program. At the end of the day, I'm going to go out there and do what I do. I'm confident in what I can do and I'm going to do whatever I can to help this team.”
