Watson is a really hard player to evaluate. Has battled injuries the past 2 seasons, and is in arguably one of the best overall receiver cores in the NFL. Doubs, Watson, Wicks, Reed and Musgrave. So I think he will be battling for constancy week in and week out. But he’s shown he’s a TD maker, 12 TDs in 23 games so far!
First downs is the key. As long as you are getting them and moving down the field, you will win a lot of games, especially if you are keeping Mahomes off the field.
IDK just seems like a run first QB that's rushed over a 1,000 yards when he didn't need to, behind a stout o-line and 2 top WRs. His skinny frame also worries me, as he likes to take a lot of hits, needs to learn how to slide and I hope he doesn't end up like a RG3.
I disagree w the part that "he's not polished"-I think his mechanics and processing are pro-ready. When you break him down on film and don't just judge box score, but really look at his teammates and the competition, there's no good reason to explain why he slipped to the fifth round. I think it was just his name. There has been such a negative connotation w his name bc of the Netflix series and the fact that he got benched for Caleb Williams, people wrote him off as another overhyped 5-star recruit who flamed out-but the truth is, he actually thrived in adversity and still showed all those elite traits with his arm and intelligence. I wonder if Rattler had transferred to Oregon or Washington instead of Bo Nix or Penix, and got to play in a better program with an easier schedule, how differently things might have all played out. Either way, I think he's the steal of the draft-if Spencer gets a chance to start in New Orleans, his four years of starter experience and pro-style play might emerge like Brock Purdy did for SF.
There are 31 NFL GMs and their HCs who are still kicking themselves because they didn't see this video before the 2022 draft, and then there's John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, who are really, really glad they didn't.
Jordan Love hasnt hit 1 WR in stride on a deep Go Route in NFL yet. That isnt a joke. His deep ball accuracy is horrible. I hope Pratt gets a chance cuz with no deep threat GB is never going to win a championship.
As a Saints fan I am sick and tired of all the fake Saints fans writing Haener off in favor of a 5th round rookie called Spencer Rattler. Jake will show these fools he is ready to step up in year two behind Derek Carr and eventually become the starter.
I _like_ Daniels to WAS because of their receiving corps even though it isn't deep. I _don't like_ him being under Cliff Kingsbury. Do I need to explain? Daniels runs & CK couldn't win with Mahomes in college. I don't think he can even _conceive_ of "out of structure" as a concept. He's the doofus who thought Kyler Murray didn't know the playbook. Makes you wonder if he himself ever attends practice. Also, who tf _leaked that_ making him study was added to his contract? What NFL team leaks derogatory info that could be used against them to other NFL teams? This is the reason some of the most popular NFL memes are utter BS. It can't be the Ravens who said "We need Greg Roman to help Lamar's weaknesses" & it can't be the Bears who said "Fields can't read defenses." If it was, then leaking those 'facts' means their management is utterly incompetent & _wants_ to undermine their own teams.
If you have the time & initiative this off-season & want to get ahead of everyone else, I have a fun suggestion for you: make a mostly split-screen video featuring what Caleb does really well in college & what Fields has done in the NFL. You're *going to find* footage of Fields doing in the NFL what Caleb has done in college. I know because *I've* already found it all. Ability to fling the ball 50+ air yards with a flick of the wrist, accurately? Check. On the run & at weird arm angles? Check-check. Able to scramble life into dead plays? Of _course!_ The one area we might have more footage of Fields doing is threading impossible passes through tight windows. The questions would be surrounding what such a video would show. It would be a mistake to focus only on play-calling. It would be one to ignore it. Caleb's going to the same team. You either have to believe that Eberflus is So Inept he didn't notice that Getsy had cancelled the QB rushes that made them the #1 offense 3 weeks straight or that He Himself cancelled them. (Since he brags in post-game press talks about deciding what plays to limit the offense to, that seems to fit with what's likelier). The play you're analyzing at 9.30 is a Perfect Example of why this is so important. "He waits & waits because he doesn't see what he likes." Gee, isn't one of the biggest Fields criticisms that he hangs onto the ball too much? So the same tendency on the same team. Beyond that I don't want to say much. I hope you think this is a good idea because it can help grow your channel. Pointing out _any_ similarity between the two is gonna upset people. Pointing out that they are basically the same skill set & within a half-tier of each other is gonna piss people off to an extent they will Lose Their Minds. But it'll get the attention of many people & other channels, especially if 1) Caleb has any of the same problems Fields did &/or 2) Fields gets to start & the things that were a problem on the Bears don't show up elsewhere even though he himself changes nothing. Those are just SOME of the reasons why such a video could be worth doing.
This is good. But don't take this as insulting, it's constructive criticism. You're assessing these rookie QBs like a rookie analyst. You're applying some NFL standards to them. "You can't miss this pass." _He_ doesn't know that. It's obviously something his coach hasn't told him. These guys don't come out of college with proper NFL conduct software downloaded into their brains. Men's minds & bodies usually only start to work in synch fully around their 23rd birthday. When the game doesn't go at the pace he's most comfortable with, he's not going to be able to adjust, certainly not at the level of a Peyton Manning. Point these things out by all means. But in the future, maybe take into account the learning curve & adjust your expectations as to where on it they should be. Jordan Love showed tremendous progress _within_ the '23 season. He's older & sat behind Rodgers & _that_ wasn't enough for him to be fully ready? College ain't NEARLY enough then, right? ; )
That is 1 thing ill agree with. The development of the lob needs to continue to be dressed and idk the arm strength thing i seen him chucking it 50-60yrds without strain. I think the vikings offense and throwing more will help and stay in rythm. He has all the ability and skill set if him and Justin Jefferson can get that go route down lol
You give him a couple years in a real passing offense and let his skills continue to shine I know hes going to be a top 5 QB in the league. Think the vikings roster suits him well if they can get the o line solid
So few QBs drafted high have been good in the NFL it is fantasy to predict Bo Nix will be good enough to play NFL QB and be competitive and win more than loses !
Not a very brave video. Nix may be good or he may be bad. You should go into politics. I’ll make a statement. After 5 years it will be clear Nix was the Best WB in the 2024 draft.
15:00 if Penix is better than Nix why does Nix have batter stats? Penix has a better line, better WRs and a better RB. Not to mention they play in the same conference and Penix doesn’t have to face the best defense in their conference.
I’ll never understand. This guy had almost a hundred TDs in the last two seasons and very very few turnovers. He made the right decisions. His only bad game in two years was his opening game against the historically good Georgia D. Nix will look good in the NFL soon and he will endure.
u r a knucklehead. Oregon used the quick game as their running game with added bonus of faking the quick and burning the db's for bigger plays after they start over committing to the quick. this compilation is a show case for y Bo Nix is the dude.
I can’t help but feel like if he can just get good NFL processing on even just a decent team with a decent play caller he can actually be a goood QB in the NFL
Good catches on the longer, faster throws he _does_ make. Being able to throw these passes once means he *can* throw them. so that he doesn't do so regularly isn't significant _unless he fails to when he should have._ That's not the case here. Strangely it _is_ the case with the guy he's replacing. Russ looks down one or both sidelines then checks it down. He has led the league in passes *behind the line of scrimmage - for **_five years straight!_* It's a perfect case of how people want to hang onto memes of the past thus not accepting the present. There are people who still maintain that Lamar is a glorified RB. Justin Fields is still the king of this though. Most people are more franchise than player-loyal. So when there's any disagreement between them, the fans end up siding with The Franchise, & usually that also means siding with coaches over players. When the Bears made it clear back about week 5 of '22 everyone got that message. But they also wanted to deny there *was* any message. Because that would mean they were complicit. So even after Fields called them out on it all publicly, twice, everyone acts like they never knew about it. He had to play under an HC who made it publicly clear that he despised him & a GM & team owner who wouldn't support him for over a year and a half. & during that time he made them the #1 offense 3 weeks straight. But because the fans had gotten the message he was hated even while doing that. & still is blamed for their play-calling. Vive La Franchise!
Situational awareness. If you have a lead on the road late you take the safe play, a shoot out you take your shots, at home you get more aggressive as needed.
I can see what you’re saying but the numbers don’t lie, most accurate passer ever, and there’s a 5 minute highlight reel of him throwing downfield super accurate. Williams is the one always looking to scramble. Nix has a 85% adjusted completion ratio throwing downfield often. KSU and Chiefs fan so nothing Bias, judging on highlights compared to the others. All very talented this year though. Plus like Brock Perty a lot of experience and already NFL ready.
