Performance Analysis
D
#90 of 106 QBs
FCA+
Snap share and per-play impact line up to a D performance grade for Ben DiNucci. At 29 years old and in his sixth season, DiNucci remains a depth-chart backup with limited ability to move the needle when called upon—the 2025 season saw him appear in just one game, which speaks to both his role and his ineffectiveness when given the opportunity. His tenure as a seventh-round pick from 2020 has been defined by minimal production and unreliable decision-making, and the recent headlines about Sean Payton's conservative approach to tempo suggest the coaching staff is not confident in DiNucci's ability to execute a faster-paced offense. With the Broncos holding the AFC West's top seed at 14-3, the organization's recent moves—trimming depth at running back and receiver while adding defensive help—indicate they view their quarterback room as settled, leaving DiNucci in a precarious spot as insurance rather than solution. For a veteran backup carrying minimal upside, a D grade reflects the reality: he is replacement-level depth unlikely to deliver if thrust into significant action during the regular season.

Practical depth signing to address Bo Nix's injury without roster disruption. Headlines reflect pragmatic emergency backup move rather than strategic upgrade. DiNucci's practice squad destination signals limited confidence in his NFL capabilities. Fans debate whether Davis Webb or DiNucci better suits Sean Payton's scheme. Broncos likely rotate backup options pending Nix's recovery timeline.
