Don’t go penciling in the Patriots for the Super Bowl just yet … ’cause former star Broncos safety Justin Simmons<\/strong> says backup QB Jarrett Stidham<\/strong>‘s play will be every bit as good as Bo Nix<\/strong>‘s!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“This isn’t a shot at anyone,” Simmons told TMZ Sports<\/strong>. “There’s going to be no drop off.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Of course, 25-year-old Nix went down on the second-to-last play of their overtime thriller against the Bills on Saturday … thrusting 29-year-old Stidham into the spotlight, with a trip to Super Sunday on the line.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Simmons says that while Jarrett may not be the starter, he’s a talented player who can positively impact the game.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“The offense is gonna look a little different. Bo, when he needs to obviously uses his legs to run. [Stidham’s] more of a pocket passer, but, his ball accuracy and his knowledge of what opposing defenses are giving him, he’s super smart, super quick with his reads. I think Denver is going to rally behind and help him,” the 4x All-Pro player said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Sunday’s AFC Championship Game will be just the fifth start of Stidham’s career … but while he may lack experience, he’s shared a locker room with the GOAT.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

“He’s learned from greats like Tom Brady<\/strong><\/a>. You know, he’s been in that Patriots system. He knows football really well. I’m excited for him and it’s going to be his moment!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Simmons, who played for the Broncos from 2016 to 2023, admits he’s friends with Stidham … but that doesn’t change the fact that Justin wholeheartedly believes Denver can beat the Patriots on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
