When the Denver Broncos made the decision to bench Russell Wilson for the remainder of the season, all eyes turned to backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Well, not right away, but after all the drama of Wilson’s benching ran its course then those eyes began to turn Stidham’s way.
Head Coach Sean Payton was asked why he was confident in making the change to Stidham, he was quick to point out some of his technical strengths but also highlights how well he played last season for the Las Vegas Raiders.
“He’s someone who has really good poise,” Payton said.
