Yet, the majority of the posters in this thread have to tear down and degrade Nix, just so they can feel better about their QB. But, why? Our QB is without question the best QB in the NFL today.
They do the same thing with Lamar, and pretty much any QB who gets attention from the media. It's like they are afraid that Because Chiefs is coming back, and just in case it happens, they have to establish that Nix and Jackson, and everyone else not Mahomes, are inferior to Mahomes and/or just sucks.
I don't know if Nix will be successful, but if Payton thinks his workout was second only to Mahomes, I will wait to see what happens before passing judgement.
And, if he plays well, most of these posters will have excuses as to why. They will say it's the scheme, or bad opponents, or luck, or they will say something like, "So what he played well. That doesn't mean he is good. Let's see him do it X amount of seasons and then talk to me" or still point to the fact that even though Nix was good, he isn't Mahomes which they will claim still makes them correct.
Maybe Nix will crash and burn. Maybe Nix will be a good NFL QB. Maybe Nix will be a top tier NFL QB. The truth is, none of us really know until games are live. The history of the NFL is littered with QBs who were highly touted who failed miserably, and QBs who were afterthoughts that became superstars.
