# Bob Morris: Morris predicts Jarrett Stidham holds the backup QB job behind Bo Nix, Adam Prentice makes the 53-man roster as the fullback/fourth back, and Lucas Krull gets cut. **Claimed:** Aug 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Bob Morris — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/bob-morris **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/onsi/3-roster-questions-broncos-may-have-answered-in-preseason-opener 10 checkable claims — 6 roster spot calls and 4 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 5 of 10 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 60 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > the preseason opener made it clear that job is still Stidham's to lose. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **J.K.
