You'd certainly hope so, considering he was the number two pick.
But can you say that Caleb Williams has looked obviously better that Nix? He threw for 157 this week in good weather and turned it over three times last week. [Reply]

Nix is barf
Drew Lock was more impressive as a rookie...
That thing that should alarm Donk fans is his yards per attempt...which mirrors what he was in college. This is who he is...
If the goal is be a perpetual 7-10 team, they've found their guy...
Like I said before the season...you'll need a top 5 defense/running game...and WRs who are great at YAC to succeed with his style of play.
By succeed, I mean maybe get into a wild card spot every few years....only to get bounced by teams with legit QBs.
Nix would need everything around him to be great...and it still wont be enough to win championships.
An average starter is his absolute ceiling...career back-up is more likely. He's a placeholder QB..
Nix still has that new QB smell...and the hope he will 180 and become good. That will fade in about 6-8 weeks...and fans be saying "we might as well see what we have in Wilson" [Reply]

Again…KC’s faced Lamar Jackson, Burrow, Herbert and Cousins. Denver’s faced Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Mayfield and a washed Rodgers. Pretending that the latter teams are clearly better than the former is pretty funny.
Any fool can see that Baltimore’s an elite team and the Bengals are far more dangerous than their record would indicate. The Falcons are a talented team that could make a little noise in the NFC, and the Chargers are clearly improved under Harbaugh, with statistically the best defense in the league so far.
Common sense (and history) also tells us that Seattle and Pittsburgh won’t sustain this rate of winning, and that the record of Denver’s opponents is largely due to playing bad competition. Tell me how many teams in this league would have worse records than Seattle and the Jets with those schedules.
But since you buy firmly into “you are what your record says you are,” even after four games, congrats on yet another year of mediocrity I guess. [Reply]

Weird. It’s almost like injuries have been DenverFan’s primary excuse for years of suckage. Even though the players you lost were usually scrubs. [Reply]

Bo Nix was 12-25 for 60 yards in an NFL game.
Do you know how fucking hard that is to do in today's NFL?
Truly historic performance.
Oddly, enough, last time something that bad was done?
November 15, 2015 - Peyton Manning vs. KC, 5-20 for 35 yards in a brutal loss.
So at least two Bronco QB's have that in common . . . . . [Reply]
