Jarrett Stidham is like your grandparents talking on speakerphone in a crowded airplane. Charming, but annoying.
Stidham is well-liked and universally respected in the locker room. The problem? He is the present on a team where the future remains the lone concern.
As expected, coach Sean Payton named Stidham the starter for Sunday’s preseason game at Indianapolis. The game is Aug. 11. Breathe easy Broncos Country. The only date that matters is Sept. 8, the regular-season opener at Seattle. If Bo Nix does not top the depth chart in that game, then get a prescription for your orange-and-blue rash, sign up for goat yoga and wear a mouthpiece for your grinding teeth.
