What will the Broncos offense look like with Davis Webb? — Will Sean Payton take back play-calling?

Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay dive into the Broncos’ new offensive dynamic: Davis Webb calling plays while Sean Payton steps back. Zach believes Sean will give Webb a relatively long leash before taking back control, while Phil argues that if Denver hits a losing streak, Payton could reclaim playcalling after just three or four games.

The guys debate whether Sean truly gave up playcalling willingly, or if ownership pushed him to do it. They also ask the big question: Will Davis Webb be so good that this entire conversation becomes irrelevant?

Is Webb’s leash long or short
Was this Sean’s choice or a forced move
And how much pressure is on Webb to prove himself right away
