The Broncos have the best OL in the league per the analytics. You saw that last night with Nix getting clean pockets continuously despite facing Bosa/Mack.
He had open WR’s last night. Sutton is a very good #1 caliber player. Mims has been open and he just misses.
I get they could get a talented TE and RB to help him but the bottom line here is how much is that gonna help? I think this is pretty close to the ceiling for him. Might go a bit higher with added talent but at best he’s what?…..The 7th best QB in the conference?
You saw Herbert carry a team with no RB, no TE and one real weapon (McConkey) from an 11 point deficit and score 21 points in the 2nd half to win while Bo Nix could only lead his team to a FG in the 2nd half.
DJ made such a good point about scheme helping Nix. When that goes out the window he’s not near the QB you need.
