The One Thing They WON'T Tell You About Bo Nix.. | Denver Broncos 

No question about it! Bo Nix is the real deal. As a long time Bronco fan I actually feel like "we" are back on track. Shades of Elway!

His big nock out of college was arm strength. Does he have a Herbert arm? No can he accurately hit a 60 yarder? 100 percent. What will make him good in the league is how fast he processes. Tom Brady made a living picking apart defenses short to mid range. Bo is capable of doing the same with the right players around him... Troy Franklin was the steal of the draft. Dude was a 1st rounder.

Im a vikings van. But I like Nix. He has amazing ball placement skills and almost always makes the right decision. I think Sean Paytons scheme fits him like a glove.

I mean being able to make those throws under pressure is what separates a good QB from a great one

This makes me more confident in Bo Nix. Even though you shouldn't throw across your body or off your back foot, when he did it, he did so where the ball wasn't in jeopardy.

He is the best qb in this draft class you better let them know

I see a lot of media talking heads eating a lot of crow. This guy can play very well.

Eee!!! I love Bo! Payton absolutely got his guy! 🔥

I'm very confident. Bo Nix is mature, smart, a hard worker. I think he'll be ready to start when the season begins.

Thanks for the video. I've watched a couple of other game tape breakdowns and they basically say the same. It's alarming how a lot of the "experts" seem to disregard most of the intangibles these days. Rather than just heighth & arm strength, I believe Bo's vision, accuracy, quick release & mental processing project well into today's pro game. I also think having a football coach for a father helped him immensely. I guess we'll see how it goes. Call me crazy but I'm kinda stoked to see how Zach Wilson does in camp as well. This might actually be a fun year to watch for a change.

Great talent. Will do well. Go Bo!

Hoping and somewhat expecting Rookie of the year for Bo!

Excellent analysis of Bo Nix. I have high hopes for the Broncos this season.

As a duck fan this is my feelings toward Bo Nix from the time he announced he was coming to Oregon up until now. I was upset Bo was coming to Oregon when I first head the news. I, like many others did see Bo as that great of a QB. He was careless with the ball & tried to make every play by force bad throws which most of the time ended up an intercepted or being sacked for big losses in yardage. It just felt like he was never in control of the team nor himself. Fast forward to 2022 & Bo showing up to Eugene. While the first game against UGA didn’t go our way, nor anyone else’s when they played the defending Natty champs, I saw a different Bo. He was changing from that careless with the ball type of QB in a more polished version. 2022 turned out to be a decent season that showed Bo really took huge steps in game. Unfortunately during the UW game he hurt his ankle & was unable to use his legs to the same ability he was prior to getting hurt. But he still played every game & didn’t let that ankle injury stop him from competing. He just had to rely on his arm more without the ability to run. The 2023 season Bo decided to run it back one more time before going to the NFL & I honestly believe doing that is why he was so highly selected as most thought prior to 23 that Bo was a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Bo’s ability to read a defense & check into the right play is a highly valuable skill that isn’t recorded on a stat sheet. For those that want to see how good he is pre snap & taking the offense into his own hands just go watch the “Us vs Them” recap of the Utah game. You’ll head the coaches talking over the headset saying “Bo just switched the play. I don’t know what play he just called” prior to taking the snap. That play Bo called on his own was absolutely perfect against the defense Utah lined up ore snap. I could go on all day about Bo but I’ll simply say this. Bo is a very intelligent QB who will fit great in Payton’s style of offense. He can make all the throws but also won’t hesitate to take dink & dunk passes in order to keep the ball secure & the chains moving. Last but certainly not least, he is a leader. When Oregon failed to make the CFP Bo could have said his goodbyes & opted out of the bowl game as many other highly ranked draft prospects do in order to avoid unnecessary injury that close to the draft. But Bo being the leader he is didn’t want to abandon his brothers & decided to take the field with them one last time. Denver drafted 2 amazing dudes out of Oregon & bronco fans should be very excited about getting Bo & Troy!

If anyone can help develop a young QB, it’s Sean Peyton

If you go frame by frame in the first highlight, Nix starts throwing that ball right when the WR makes his brake. The reason that’s important is, if you throw it any earlier, the WR could break one to two yards later, and it could be severely under thrown. But, if he waits, he knows exactly the distance he needs to throw the ball. And the most important factor… if you give a DB an opportunity to see the ball in the air before the WR makes his break, it makes it easier for the DB to make a jump on the ball when the WR makes his break, instead of waiting and making sure the DB is still reacting to the WR. I know it’s common for people to say they’d like a pass to come out earlier, but that’s because they never take that other factor into account. I used the same tactics as a defender in basketball, which is why I stole the ball a lot from people that passed the ball before their teammate made their break, for their catch move in the post…or on the perimeter.

Sean Peyton has been a successful nfl coach. Bo Nix is one of the most experienced quarterbacks to be drafted in this class. It will be interesting to see how the team does this year.

Bo Nix is the wildcard of the first round qbs taken. He can either be really bad, or really good. It’s hard to tell right now, but I think he’ll be great for Denver. His poise, and quick processing in the pocket mixed with his solid arm strength, and underrated mobility would make him an immediate starter on any team that has a need at qb. Time will tell, and I think he can do better than some of the qbs taken before him like Drake Maye, and JJ McCarthy. This was a good pick for Denver because they had to do something at qb, and Nix wasn’t making it to the 3rd round, which was Denver’s next pick after their 1st. Better to pull the trigger and hope, than to not get him, and roll out with Zach Wilson and Jarret Stidham for the whole season.

Bo has plenty of athleticism in him. He just doesn't have to show it as much because his football IQ is through the roof he knows how to read a defense! When he does need to rely on his athleticism, he does in a big way.

I wish Nix had a year to sit and adapt to and learn the NFL. No rookie QB is ready day one, even on as experienced as Bo Nix. Trial by fire is rough, hope he does well and has a long accomplished career. It was wonderful having him for two years at Oregon.

I bet he is more successful then Caleb Williams

I’m a big broncos fan so this means a lot to me

My confidence is not just in Bo Nix!! My confidence is in Bo Nix having his favorite target in Troy Franklin from OR, and trusting his OR C Forsythe, while working with the tank to move mountains Adric, all lead by a Master mind offensive aggressive coach Sean Payton, and funded by probably the richest NFL owner Walter Peyton, who will likely maintain the best funded team the NFL has!! Thats where my confidence is!! MY CONFIDENCE, is just in the Broncos, and the winning culture is going forward!! 😁😁

Look at his completion percentage. Sure, there were a lot of dinks and dunks, but that is what they asked him to do and Sean Payton is also going to want him to play that way. The Broncos will have a good offense. But their defense was terrible last year and so that is the real worry for that team. I think Nix will be a very good NFL starting QB. He can also run like the wind when he has to.

Love Bo Nix🎉

Sean Payton hate is outrageous. All bc of Russ. But anyone with eyes can see how awful QB play Russ did in Denver. Sean Payton was responsible for What Russ put in his final season at Denver. Not Russ alone bc during the Hackett regime, he was cooked. I’m fkin happy for Sean P finally able to implement his offense with a rookie QB.

From sec to pac 12. Totally two different conferences. Is he the key. Yes! He adapts

Sean Peyton pretty much sold it as the best value ever for a 5-10 1st round pick.

Fuck the haters. I think this kid is the real deal. The more tape I watch the better he looks. Btw he has a strong arm but his release is fast and accurate he's going to be rookie if the year. I'm already betting it befor the odds drop. He can read coverage and he's fast on the run. Our roster is 100 times better then two years ago already. We are going to surprise people

#10 is The balls and taint combined...full package ..) I see my favorite, Broadway Joe incarnate. Win lose or draw, I only watching NFL because of Mr. Nix (and Mr. Franklin).

Nice analysis. This was just one game but his tapes when he struggles tells me he gonna be a good one. His first Duck game vs Georgia, he made some really nice plays against an NFL caliber defense (and some bad ones). He may actually be a Drew Brees with legs

This was all in one game too. He’s going to do well in the NFL

Bo and Caleb are gonna be studs

Cannot believe we landed such a star, so many of the herd passed on him.

Tbh, I think he will come out of this draft class as one of the best QB’s.

I like your breakdown of the tape. I think you highlighted a lot of Bo Nix's "backyard/streetball" skills, and while having those is important for the NFL, I think a closer look at his on-schedule plays shows you that he has plus ability on the "blue-collar" down and distance situations. He may be the best QB throwing off of his back foot, but if he can learn to hitch and step into more of his throws under Sean Payton, he should take a massive leap forward as a passer. To see what I mean, I suggest looking at Kurt Warner's QB Confidential film breakdowns, if you haven't already. 😊

If you're happy with a majority of passes being completed behind the line of scrimmage and you think you can win in the NFL like that then it was a great pick

My guess is that early on NIx might get baited into some bad throws in the NFL as the defenses are way more complicated, but I believe he will adjust and get better.

Bo was always good at throwing to space. Even at Auburn. Receivers at Auburn weren’t always good at making the right adjustments.

best QB in the draft

Yes

Nix has had great success with a new OC every year he has played in college. Hard to asses his years at Auburn due to the covid situation. He's mature. He's smart. He's already married, so the distractions will be a minimum. Bo Nix might be the QB from this class we are still talking about in 10 years. Nix may not have been able to beat Penix Jr. and the Huskies... but Caleb Williams could hardly beat anyone in the Pac-12. If he is as elite as they make him out to be, then that shouldn't have been the case.

I like Bo I think he might be good if they give him a chance to gel. Regardless of who's throwing the ball I pray that Denver's offensive unit will bring a few more scores and hopefully more than 19 points a game on average. It's the defense I am worried about. Unless you were blind last year the broncos couldn't even slow down the run much less stop it. I'm not sold on VJ as the DC but they could have helped him out with players but they didn't. And that's going to be a problem.

Sco Bo!!!!

ROY!!

Bo nix with Troy Franklin is going to work. And Mims and sutton. I wad jj McCarthy but I knew no matter what. Vikings get jj. So I need to get perfect qb to sean Payton create. I live in Seattle. I'm bleed for broncos. I'm loyal and I go to game then this season. I hope it's good record cuz bo nix

Bo Bo you know know

All in one game 🎉shows slot

NFL hates broncos. Look at what they did to them during Covid 😂 fans hate Sean because of bounty gate, but every team does it and still does it😂. It’s just haters. Broncos are about to Orange Crush

He's a 1 1/2 year project IMO. He'll be at the level of Dak Prescott or Kirk Cousins at his peak. Which I am okay with.

The busted play to Franklin that you liked [5: 05 - 6: 09] hi-lights two major problems Nix has

Where is your accent from?

Paxton Lynch and Brock Osweiler are laughing...

Reasons I’m not sold on Nix is dude always played bad to mediocre defenses and when he was pressured consistently he wasn’t good, all his good film he has all day to throw and his still accuracy n ball placement still leaves a lot to be desired even with perfect conditions. In the NFL where he’s going to get hit a lot under pressure far more where he has to quickly get through his progressions 1-2-3 on time and in rhythm against NFL Caliber defenses I’m not sold he can I don’t think he’s that guy. QBs who are the 5th or 6th pick in the draft the last of the big name QBs rarely if ever end up working out 9/10 times that man ends up a bust. And if by some remote chance he’s not a total bust I don’t see him ever being a top 15 QB and Denver took him 12th overall. I guess if he sucks n Denver’s in the top 10 next year they can pull an AZ n take Carson Beck or Quinn Ewers n trade Nix for a 12 pack, but at the end of the day you still wasted a 12th overall pick n given the state of Denver’s bad roster they can’t wait premium draft capital like that so for Sean’s sake he better workout.

Sco Ducks!

Is there a reason why all the tape is from one game?

Hope it’s not the Bo Nix from Auburn 😂😂

he will be better than Caleb

Bo is great but u picked horrible tape to watch😅

So what was it that "they" won't tell us about Nix? I'm tired of the clickbait tag lines, which is why I won't hit subscribe. Obviously if you have to resort to that the content is not that good.

Bo nix will be better than Paxton lynch at best causeif Sean Payton is such a great coach he should of been able to coach Russell Wilson but drew brees made Payton look like a good coach

It's that he can't pass the ball downfield with any success? It's just a guess based on his arm and stats. He throws a lot of short passes ...

Here is what they don't tell you about Bo Nix. He sucks.

This analysis sucks.. that defense was trash I could have done 50 points against with 10 drunk friends.

Sean Payton is a has been that is ridiculously overrated. His ego is in the way of him being successful. I dont care if the Broncos win or lose but I sure do dislike Payton. Bo nix is a mediocre talent that try’s really hard and is a good kid…. Successful NFL starter- I doubt it.

HE IS DAMN NEAR PERFECT.

Bruh, I haven’t watched football since probably 2012. My father texted my brother and I the link to this video as we’re from Denver originally and have been Broncos fans all our lives. Spent many years in Oregon, with my brother actually having been a DB at Oregon under Mike Bellotti. Anyway, the way you breakdown film is quite impressive. I was quite impressed on many levels with the video I just watched. Strong work on the content and cheers to a future of growth and success!! I might actually watch a Broncos game now that the clown took his circus to the Pittsburgh fans. 🫡

I see someone went out cherry picking today
