The only time Nix does anything is when the other teams go to prevent...like "we're up 23-0...you can complete all the short passes you want"
Suckers...still dont have a NFL QB... they'll try again in a few years. [Reply]

Why wait? Didn't the Cardinals go with a QB at #1 overall in 2 consecutive years? [Reply]

I wouldnt...Nix is backup level. They took a gamble and it didn't pan out...their fans cant blame them for trying. If you hit...you are set-up for a decade.
That's a lot of administrative "egg on the face" to admit you blew the 12th over-all pick. (See Skyy Moore).
The other option is to roll with Zack Wilson and re-stock a pretty barren roster. They need difference makers at almost every level..
Doinks needed to nail this pick and didnt...it puts them a few years away from being relevant....and that's if they hit on their next QB.
For the foreseeable future...Donks are a non-factor in the AFC.
The Wilson trade/draft compensation will end up being a 6 year mistake...at the least.
Saw this tweet...
"Heading into the fourth quarter, the Broncos have five first downs and 88 total yards"...against the Chargers at home.
I dont see anything that says "Nix has "it"...he's just making rookie mistakes"...he's the same age as Trevor Lawrence. [Reply]

Said it on draft day that Bowers was the pick at #12 and draft Rattler in like round 4 or 5. Still cant believe those clowns drafted Nix at # 12. But so glad they did. :-):-):-) [Reply]

As a Chiefs fan....this is all very entertaining.
Having Nix look good during preseason playing against car salesmen...getting their fans hopes up. A few early season wins against terrible offenses and before DC's have a bead on Nix's limitations....then the implosion.
I took a quick look over at their forum...and they are rationalizing Nix....to the tune of "Elway and Manning weren't good their rookie year either"...:-)
Fools...those QBs had elite traits...Nix has nothing on his resume that implies he'll suddenly become a top QB. There is like a 1 in 10,000 chance that a light goes on for 25 year old rookie...and he demonstrates something he never did during FIVE years in college.
I go back to what I said before the season and his ADOT score....it was the second lowest in all of college football. This is playing out exactly as you would expect. Like 60% of his passes were either behind the LOS or within 5 yards...and there was 5 years of data confirming this.
I'm assuming Payton saw his accuracy % and thought he could mold him into another Brees...hubris is a deadly sin. [Reply]

Yep. Albino Mahomes was the right move, and a lot of Denver fans are even admitting it now.
I mean, at some point, law of averages says you're going to slip up and do something right. Nope. Not Denver. :-)
I'd feel sorry for their fanbase at this point....if they weren't such arrogant little turds. :-) [Reply]
