Thank you sir! I knew you weren't like everybody said you were.

I'm going to enjoy pointing this out next season....when your team is, again, average. You wont be able to use "he's doing good for a rookie" excuse anymore. Nix is a high floor, low ceiling QB...and already 25. He also played the most college games in history. He's the same age as Trevor Lawrence. I dont expect him to make a huge jump from this year to next. Donks are going to be a season-to-season team...kind of like the Titans/Chargers/Raiders were. Have a decent year every once in a while...and it's entirely contingent on the supporting cast and some luck. Nix wont be a "put the team on your back" type of QB...his ceiling is similar to a Tannehill. That's what purgatory is...decent but never really in serious contention for championships. Alex Smith was on some stacked KC teams...amounted to nothing. Beat both the Seahawks and Patriots that Superbowl year. Last edited by BlackOp; 01-13-2025 at 11:36 AM.. |

Chiefs loaded up to the hilt with Alex Smith. Very high talent level. Then came Mahomes and he turned water into wine. |

In Mahomes case, per say, what if the Chiefs land another RB in the mold of either Jamaal Charles or Priest Holmes in the 2025 draft -- both of whom were explosive play-makers. |

I was waiting for him to show something that said "I can compete on the biggest stage"...he had his chances against winning teams in the final month also. He was decent at times, this year, against bad teams... Overall, I'm happy the Donks drafted him. Going to keep them from improving the QB position for at least two more years. The thing is they likely wont be bad enough to be able to draft his replacement either... |

This is why it’s so important to get a QB with a high ceiling instead of just a high floor. Nix did next to nothing after that great throw on the first drive. The Broncos best shot with Nix will be in the next 3 years while he isn’t being paid and they can add talent in FA, but it’s a Tua/Purdy type deal. They’ll look good on paper until it comes time to perform against great teams. They’re gonna have to surround the kid with elite talent like SF and DET did but like I’ve mentioned before, this ain’t the NFC. The odds of the Broncos getting the 1 seed playing in this division are low. The odds of them beating 2 of the best QB’s in the conference on the road is low as well.

Denver's defense was more surprising than Nix...they were responsible for them even sniffing the post-season. Had a pick 6 against the Raiders when Vegas was about to go up a few scores. Two pick sixes against the Browns. Colts RB dropping the TD run out of bounds...then another pick six. Any of those games could have gotten out of hand...and the Jets kicker missing 2 FGs in the final 2 minutes. Chiefs back-ups. Donks could have easily been a 7 win team. They looked like one against the Bills. I expect them to regress back to around 8 wins...no injured NFC South next year. |

I'm hoping that next year, the Chiefs get to play the Donks in the first half of the season at Donkeytown (circa October) with the rematch in KC occurring in December in a meaningful game. If that happens, it will be interesting to see how things shake out. Last edited by brdempsey69; 01-13-2025 at 01:07 PM.. |

If only the Donks had an all world WR like Jefferson...THEN they would be contenders.
*Checks notes* Vikings score 9 points.... Teams only go as a far as their QB's ability to perform in big games...Nix hasnt shown any signs of this trait. I guess you could say the desperation 4th down throw into double coverage vs. the Bengals was clutch...I say it was dumb luck. He had 6 passing yards in OT to follow it. Got shut out for the final 55 minutes vs. the Bills...not a good pattern forming. Last edited by BlackOp; 01-13-2025 at 10:38 PM.. |

Probably was banking on the Bills backup QB playing like when they faced the Saints/Chiefs....without those two games, they miss the postseason and finish with a losing record. Last edited by BlackOp; 01-15-2025 at 01:53 PM.. |
