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.

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.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix won two weekly awards following his historic performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. Nix first won AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors before also taking home the FedEx Air Player of the Week award for Week 18 following Denver’s 38-0 thumping of the Chiefs.

The Broncos must get Nix more help after his sterling rookie season, but the QB's own development will also be critical for Denver.

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.

There’s a strong belief within the Broncos organization that the franchise’s revolving door of quarterbacks — 14 starters since Peyton Manning retired — has ended with Bo Nix in command. The rookie quarterback led the Broncos to a 10-7 regular-season record and their first postseason appearance since 2015.
