The One Thing They WON'T Tell You About Bo Nix.. | Denver Broncos

Im a vikings van. But I like Nix. He has amazing ball placement skills and almost always makes the right decision. I think Sean Paytons scheme fits him like a glove.

No question about it! Bo Nix is the real deal. As a long time Bronco fan I actually feel like "we" are back on track. Shades of Elway!

This makes me more confident in Bo Nix. Even though you shouldn't throw across your body or off your back foot, when he did it, he did so where the ball wasn't in jeopardy.

I'm very confident. Bo Nix is mature, smart, a hard worker. I think he'll be ready to start when the season begins.

He is the best qb in this draft class you better let them know

I mean being able to make those throws under pressure is what separates a good QB from a great one

I see a lot of media talking heads eating a lot of crow. This guy can play very well.

Eee!!! I love Bo! Payton absolutely got his guy! 🔥

As a duck fan this is my feelings toward Bo Nix from the time he announced he was coming to Oregon up until now. I was upset Bo was coming to Oregon when I first head the news. I, like many others did see Bo as that great of a QB. He was careless with the ball & tried to make every play by force bad throws which most of the time ended up an intercepted or being sacked for big losses in yardage. It just felt like he was never in control of the team nor himself. Fast forward to 2022 & Bo showing up to Eugene. While the first game against UGA didn’t go our way, nor anyone else’s when they played the defending Natty champs, I saw a different Bo. He was changing from that careless with the ball type of QB in a more polished version. 2022 turned out to be a decent season that showed Bo really took huge steps in game. Unfortunately during the UW game he hurt his ankle & was unable to use his legs to the same ability he was prior to getting hurt. But he still played every game & didn’t let that ankle injury stop him from competing. He just had to rely on his arm more without the ability to run. The 2023 season Bo decided to run it back one more time before going to the NFL & I honestly believe doing that is why he was so highly selected as most thought prior to 23 that Bo was a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Bo’s ability to read a defense & check into the right play is a highly valuable skill that isn’t recorded on a stat sheet. For those that want to see how good he is pre snap & taking the offense into his own hands just go watch the “Us vs Them” recap of the Utah game. You’ll head the coaches talking over the headset saying “Bo just switched the play. I don’t know what play he just called” prior to taking the snap. That play Bo called on his own was absolutely perfect against the defense Utah lined up ore snap. I could go on all day about Bo but I’ll simply say this. Bo is a very intelligent QB who will fit great in Payton’s style of offense. He can make all the throws but also won’t hesitate to take dink & dunk passes in order to keep the ball secure & the chains moving. Last but certainly not least, he is a leader. When Oregon failed to make the CFP Bo could have said his goodbyes & opted out of the bowl game as many other highly ranked draft prospects do in order to avoid unnecessary injury that close to the draft. But Bo being the leader he is didn’t want to abandon his brothers & decided to take the field with them one last time. Denver drafted 2 amazing dudes out of Oregon & bronco fans should be very excited about getting Bo & Troy!

His big nock out of college was arm strength. Does he have a Herbert arm? No can he accurately hit a 60 yarder? 100 percent. What will make him good in the league is how fast he processes. Tom Brady made a living picking apart defenses short to mid range. Bo is capable of doing the same with the right players around him... Troy Franklin was the steal of the draft. Dude was a 1st rounder.

Great talent. Will do well. Go Bo!

Thanks for the video. I've watched a couple of other game tape breakdowns and they basically say the same. It's alarming how a lot of the "experts" seem to disregard most of the intangibles these days. Rather than just heighth & arm strength, I believe Bo's vision, accuracy, quick release & mental processing project well into today's pro game. I also think having a football coach for a father helped him immensely. I guess we'll see how it goes. Call me crazy but I'm kinda stoked to see how Zach Wilson does in camp as well. This might actually be a fun year to watch for a change.

If anyone can help develop a young QB, it’s Sean Peyton

Hoping and somewhat expecting Rookie of the year for Bo!

Excellent analysis of Bo Nix. I have high hopes for the Broncos this season.

If you go frame by frame in the first highlight, Nix starts throwing that ball right when the WR makes his brake. The reason that’s important is, if you throw it any earlier, the WR could break one to two yards later, and it could be severely under thrown. But, if he waits, he knows exactly the distance he needs to throw the ball. And the most important factor… if you give a DB an opportunity to see the ball in the air before the WR makes his break, it makes it easier for the DB to make a jump on the ball when the WR makes his break, instead of waiting and making sure the DB is still reacting to the WR. I know it’s common for people to say they’d like a pass to come out earlier, but that’s because they never take that other factor into account. I used the same tactics as a defender in basketball, which is why I stole the ball a lot from people that passed the ball before their teammate made their break, for their catch move in the post…or on the perimeter.

Sean Peyton has been a successful nfl coach. Bo Nix is one of the most experienced quarterbacks to be drafted in this class. It will be interesting to see how the team does this year.

Bo Nix is the wildcard of the first round qbs taken. He can either be really bad, or really good. It’s hard to tell right now, but I think he’ll be great for Denver. His poise, and quick processing in the pocket mixed with his solid arm strength, and underrated mobility would make him an immediate starter on any team that has a need at qb. Time will tell, and I think he can do better than some of the qbs taken before him like Drake Maye, and JJ McCarthy. This was a good pick for Denver because they had to do something at qb, and Nix wasn’t making it to the 3rd round, which was Denver’s next pick after their 1st. Better to pull the trigger and hope, than to not get him, and roll out with Zach Wilson and Jarret Stidham for the whole season.

Sean Payton hate is outrageous. All bc of Russ. But anyone with eyes can see how awful QB play Russ did in Denver. Sean Payton was responsible for What Russ put in his final season at Denver. Not Russ alone bc during the Hackett regime, he was cooked. I’m fkin happy for Sean P finally able to implement his offense with a rookie QB.

Bo has plenty of athleticism in him. He just doesn't have to show it as much because his football IQ is through the roof he knows how to read a defense! When he does need to rely on his athleticism, he does in a big way.
