First, almost all of the plays in these two videos were not plays where his first read was taken away. Some of them were obviously poor throws. But every college QB could fill a similar "lowlight" reel, if you consider their entire careers. Did you even watch the videos before you posted them?

If you’d keep up you’d realize that it’s been common knowledge and discussion that Bo Nix struggled when his first read was taken away. Half of the plays in the 2nd video were prime examples.

Which proves that he was a struggling QB who was benched at Auburn even with players that were drafted.

And proceeded to show high potential in the bowl game against LSU with 370 yards, 4 TD’s, 1 INT with a team of only 2 drafted players from his offense against an LSU defense full of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rd draft picks. We never saw anything in the same galaxy like that from Nix.

Which is why you guys are constantly comparing them to make yourselves feel better right?
And no they weren’t similar. Mahomes wasn’t benched in college. Mahomes had a very high ceiling and people thought he could be Brett Favre. Mahomes wasn’t the 6th QB drafted in his own draft class.
Nix is a high floor QB prospect while Mahomes was a high ceiling QB prospect. Comparing them is stupid. You want to compare Mahomes to any Broncos QB draft pick? The best one is Jay Cutler.
