I took a quick look over at their forum...and they are rationalizing Nix....to the tune of "Elway and Manning weren't good their rookie year either"... 
Fools...those QBs had elite traits...Nix has nothing on his resume that implies he'll suddenly become a top QB. There is like a 1 in 10,000 chance that a light goes on for 25 year old rookie...and he demonstrates something he never did during FIVE years in college.
I go back to what I said before the season and his ADOT score....it was the second lowest in all of college football. This is playing out exactly as you would expect. Like 60% of his passes were either behind the LOS or within 5 yards...and there was 5 years of data confirming this.
I'm assuming Payton saw his accuracy % and thought he could mold him into another Brees...hubris is a deadly sin. |
They are saying the same thing about Josh Allen too.
All of those guys weren’t almost 25 in their first year and they were all extremely more gifted than Nix was. There’s no flashes to Nix except his scrambling ability
