I look at Nix, and I think about Drew Brees. There isn't a single thing that Brees could do physically, that Nix doesn't do as well or better.
I am not saying that Nix is going to be Drew Brees, but Sean Payton took a relatively weak armed, short QB with little mobility, and turned him into a HOFer who may be the best player in NFL history to never win an MVP, so I don't get why people are so confident Nix won't be successful.
I think Bo Nix will be a decently productive QB bc he has Sean Payton. But they aren’t getting over us, and it’s iffy if they get past the Chargers too.
Remember 2013 and 2014 when Andy had Alex and couldn’t beat Peyton Manning? Yeah it’s gonna look like that. They’ll eventually be a wild card playoff team that is capped at the divisional rd like we were with Alex bc Stroud and Mahomes aren’t getting beaten by Nix in January and that’s not including Burrow and Allen.

The Chiefs were built to compete in 2015-2017. Just like Denver went all-out from 2012-2015. The Chiefs are going to need to have one or two down years to restock/develop before they're ready to compete again.
Lmfao.
This take came right before Mahomes took over as starter.
Those “down years” were the Chiefs winning the West and going to the AFCCG EVERY year with 3 Lombardis.
Hell of a prediction.
