Rough performance from the Broncos today. Does Sean Payton consider handing back play-calling duties to Davis Webb?

A league source on Broncos OC Davis Webb: “Bo Nix isn’t cutting it loose regardless. I would hope people around the league understand what’s going on there and give Davis the benefit of the doubt.” @jjones9

Davis Webb's play-calling duties have been removed after four games; Sean Payton is taking over play-calling for the Chargers game. Webb will retain his offensive coordinator title and continue leading offensive meetings and mentoring the quarterback trio, but the offensive struggles—erratic passing attack, uncommitted running game, and bottom-of-league offensive rankings—prompted the change. Webb acknowledged the team's talent and offseason additions made the early-season performance a significant surprise and expressed confidence the offense is 'extremely, extremely close' to executing properly, citing near-misses in the pass and run games in recent contests.

Davis Webb, the offensive coordinator, has lost play-calling duties after the Broncos' offense was inept through the first four games. Payton acknowledged Webb's talent and future as a head coach but emphasized the need for change: 'It's the group. So when I met with the offense, it's about buttoning up all of the little things that keep you from sustaining drives.' Webb will remain involved in the game plan but no longer call plays, with Payton taking over to improve offensive balance and execution.

Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb was removed from play-calling duties by Sean Payton, who took over the role; Payton acknowledged Webb's talent is rare and gifted with upside ahead of him, but the change was made for what Payton deemed best for the team.

Davis Webb is being retained as offensive coordinator and will remain on the field with Sean Payton despite losing play-calling duties; Payton publicly praised Webb as a future head coach with rare talent, emphasizing the change is about the collective offense and not a demotion or loss of confidence, with Webb remaining all-in on the gameplan.

Offensive coordinator Davis Webb is being demoted from play-calling duties as Sean Payton assumes those responsibilities. Payton praised Webb extensively, calling him "a future head coach" and stating "he's going to be one" and "he's super talented." Payton emphasized that Webb remains "all-in with the gameplan" and "will be down on the field with me," indicating Webb retains an active offensive role despite losing play-calling authority. The source notes this change protects Webb from further negative press while the offense has struggled through four games against strong defenses.

Offensive coordinator Davis Webb's experiment calling plays has not gone well through four games. Despite the Broncos leading the NFL in passing attempts last year, the team has attempted just 90 rushing attempts through four weeks (tied for 29th in the NFL), and Nix has struggled with career-low efficiency metrics. Webb will continue in his game-day role but Sean Payton will reclaim play-calling duties starting in Week 5, though Webb will remain heavily involved in the offensive game plan.

Offensive coordinator Davis Webb's experiment as the primary play caller has not gone well through four games. After Webb received multiple head-coaching interviews during the offseason and was promoted to offensive coordinator, the Broncos gave him play-calling duties. However, the offense has ranked 27th in points scored and the team has attempted just 90 rushing attempts through four weeks (tied for 29th in the NFL). Head coach Sean Payton will now take an increased role in the offense starting in Week 5, though Webb will continue with a significant game-planning and game-day role.

Webb, promoted to offensive coordinator in the offseason with play-calling duties, will have those responsibilities rescinded this weekend when the Broncos face the Chargers; the decision follows several weeks of offensive struggles dating back to a disastrous Week 1 performance against the Chiefs (31-10 loss where Denver had fewer total yards from scrimmage, 176, than Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III had in his debut, 191), and subsequent underperformance in Week 4 against the 49ers (3-3 halftime tie that became a double-digit loss).

The source questions how long Sean Payton will allow Davis Webb to run the Broncos offense, suggesting dissatisfaction with the QB's performance and implying a potential change could be coming.

Webb, the Broncos' first-year offensive coordinator, is questioned by the source as a potential culprit for the offense's underperformance; the source notes that 'it's hard to tell if it's simply play-calling or if Nix is taking a step back' and suggests Sean Payton may reclaim play-calling duties 'at some point.'

Offensive play caller must accelerate his development and end the period of experimentation; with the defense now depleted and unable to keep games close, Webb can no longer afford to waste downs on 3-and-out possessions and must execute fast starts and sustain offensive pressure through all four quarters.

As offensive play caller, Webb has been learning on the job but the time for stumbling is over; with Broncos' defense depleted, the offense must lock in immediately and execute sustained drives rather than wasting downs with three-and-outs.

First-year offensive coordinator and play-caller Davis Webb is facing heat after the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers dropped them to 2-2; the team has scored only three points at halftime in Sunday's game and failed to reach double digits in the first half in all four games this season, prompting questions about whether head coach Sean Payton should resume play-calling duties.

Sean Payton on Davis Webb as Broncos play-caller, via @ParkerJGabriel: "It's too early to (consider). It's a fair question. I appreciate it. It's tough to discuss any of that right now."

The source defends Davis Webb as a new playcaller who has made mistakes but is learning and improving; the source argues Webb has called far more good plays than bad and is likely to improve with experience. The source compares Webb favorably to Sean Payton, noting that even elite play-callers make mistakes consistently, and cautions against overweighting negative play calls due to cognitive bias.

fate of the world depends on scoring a TD... who would you rather have calling plays? ➜ Sean Mannion ➜ Davis Webb

Webb, the young play caller, faced criticism after a dismal first half with no rhythm or flow, but dialed up fantastic plays in the second half that led to the Broncos' comeback. The source states 'as bad as Denver's offense was in the first half, it was even better in the second. And Webb is a big reason why,' and concludes 'this should give Webb, the team, and the fanbase the confidence he's got this' despite growing pains typical of a young playcaller.

What’s your opinion on Broncos OC Davis Webb?

New Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb faced a challenging debut against Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo in Week 1, where he was outplayed at every turn; however, he rebounded with a stellar performance calling plays in the team's Week 2 win over Jacksonville. Head Coach Sean Payton acknowledged Webb was evaluated unfairly after Week 1, noting that going up against a multi-decade experienced defensive coordinator like Spagnuolo was not an ideal way to start a new coordinator's career. Payton emphasized the learning curve inherent in play-calling and the importance of adapting to player skill sets. The source assesses that how Webb handled the setback and followed it with strong execution is a significant positive indicator for his future success with the Broncos.

Davis Webb, taking over play-calling duties in week two after week one struggles, demonstrated adaptive coaching by analyzing what worked in the previous season (13.1% rollout rate) versus what failed in week one (3% rollout rate), then increasing rollout rate to 16.1 percent to unlock Bo Nix's strengths and generate explosive plays and second-best EPA per play in the league on design rollouts.
