Davis Webb calls demotion ‘disappointing’ after Sean Payton reclaims Broncos call sheet

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Sean Payton has reclaimed play-calling duties from backup quarterback Davis Webb after just four games, according to recent reports. Webb, who views his demotion as disappointing, believes his background as a backup quarterback will help him navigate this challenging time. Payton met with Webb to discuss the decision, which lasted about an hour, though Webb declined to reveal if he fought to retain his role.

He emphasized that his primary focus is now on running the offensive meetings and supporting quarterback Bo Nix. Webb's four-game audition was against teams with a combined 13-3 record, with mixed results. While he was quicker in getting calls to his quarterback, it did not result in faster starts. Despite the setback, Payton remains confident in Webb's potential to become an NFL head coach, acknowledging the challenges and uncertainties they face.
