Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger absolutely fumbled their chance to impress against the Green Bay Packers. Straight up, neither guy did much to make a case for being Bo Nix’s backup, leaving everyone scratching their heads after that NFL preseason game on August 14th in Atlanta.
Stidham’s Extended, Brutal Showing
Stidham was out there way longer than I think anyone anticipated, and honestly, it wasn’t good. He completed just 9 of 15 passes for a measly 82 yards. To make matters worse, he threw a pick, ending his night with a brutal 47.1 passer rating. That’s not the kind of showing that builds confidence, especially when you’re fighting for a spot. What were they seeing that kept him in so long? You gotta wonder.
Ehlinger’s Blip and Fan Fury
Then there was Ehlinger, who barely got a look, tossing just two passes late in the game. That’s it. So, you’ve got one guy who struggled badly over an extended period, and another who was essentially a non-factor. It’s no wonder the Broncos faithful are being asked to vote in a survey to see if the fanbase’s opinion has shifted on who should be backing up Nix this season. These “most plugged-in Broncos fans” gotta be scratching their heads after that mess.
Denver’s gotta figure out who’s truly ready to step up behind Bo Nix. For us here in the Emerald City, a quick update for the 12s: your Seahawks took a tough one, falling 16-19 to the Tennessee Titans. Keep that chin up, Hawks faithful, early bumps happen!
