The Denver Broncos are in the heat of the playoff race as they hope to clinch a spot within the final three weeks of the regular season. It's an uphill battle, but not impossible. However, with Teddy Bridgewater in concussion protocol, Drew Lock has a chance to secure his spot within the organization. Even so, it sounds like Vic Fangio is dead set on who his quarterback is right now.
According to James Palmer, Fangio is in full support of Teddy Bridgewater. He won't be playing on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, once he's healthy, Bridgewater will be the Broncos' starting quarterback.
Even if Drew Lock lights it up against the #raiders, Vic Fangio said if Teddy Bridgewater is healthy and can play, he’s the #broncos quarterback.

Bridgewater has done a decent job this year. He's not the best or worst quarterback in the league, but he gives Denver a chance. That's all this franchise could ask for this year as the Broncos fight to get back in the postseason. This bodes well for Bridgewater's future in the league, as he's proven himself to be a reliable bridge quarterback for any franchise.
With the Broncos rumored to be shopping for a superstar caliber quarterback in the offseason, Bridgewater's clock is ticking in Denver. He might remain with the organization as a backup, but he could also become a bridge option for a team in search of their franchise guy.
It'll be interesting to see how the rest of Teddy Bridgewater's career plays out. It's hard to imagine he'll be willing to stay with the Broncos if they trade for a quarterback and there will be teams who could use his talents as well. Buckle up for a busy offseason, as the Broncos are likely to shake things up. For now, look for Bridgewater to bounce back and reclaim the starting role in Week 17.
