But he lost. Sean Peyton has done a great job with Nix.

Nix prices to the moon!
Moved a big card last night.

At this point , Nix is hands down neck and neck the best QB in this class after this weekend along with Daniels. Their stats are nearly identical with Nix having the edge on total TDs by 4

18 total TDS to 7 turnovers 2600 total yards to 14 total TD and 5 turnovers for Daniels and 2800 total yards

As a Broncos fan, I couldn't be happier! He looks like the real deal.

I love watching the Nix haters squirm and go silent

This team may mess around and grab a wild card spot. They have 3 winnable games coming up and then the Chargers Bengals Chiefs at home . If they can win 4 of those games they are looking good. They were one play away from beating KC in KC, and the Bengals can’t finish a game- looks like the Chargers could be the toughest. A playoff spot and ROY award for Nix would be a great way to start his career

Crazy, people are selling these on Ebay for as low as $5-$6 a piece, and have like 100 for sale. I guess they are planning on buying a ton and counting on a few big hits to offset the losses on the ebay sales of the base cards

Best QB in the draft.

[dbpsooner]

Admittedly, I am one who thought Nix was a career backup at best coming out of college. I am not ready to change my tune just yet, but I will say, he is playing much better recently than I thought he would. I do think a lot of his recent success is mostly attributable to Sean Payton, but I think Nix is a good kid and I will be rooting for him to succeed.

I didn't really have an opinion on how he'd turn out when he was drafted because I don't watch much college football. I think he started slowly this year because Sean Payton had him on a really short leash and didn't implement much of the playbook. Now that he has had some early success, I think Payton has opened the playbook a bit more, while still focusing on plays that Nix can have success with, and we are seeing the benefits of both good play calling and good QB play. I think he is only going to get better. The game looks like it has slowed down for him.

Agreed. Week by week you could see improvements in decision making. He's planting his feet when throwing. His 1st instinct isn't to take off. I think there is no question the game is slowing. The fact he led his team to a game winning FG attempt in Arrowhead last week showed me a lot. I heard a stat, I don't remember all the details, but over the past 5 weeks, Bo Nix is a top 10 QB in a couple categories. I don't know what Jayden Daniels will do the rest of the year, but if Nix keeps on playing at this level, he could easily be rookie of the year

My prediction from January

[Floridacardguy]

June 2024 predictions for Nix looking good to meet those goals. I predicted 3000 yards, 200 completions, 25 total TDs.

3000+ yards, 25+ TDs and 200+ completions should be piece of cake

Agree on the yards, I think 25 TDs is reachable if that’s total TDs and not just passing TDs, I bet he punches in 4-5 on the ground.

Nix is at 2275 yards passing right now, with 234 completions, and 18 total TDs. He's on pace to blow my stats prediction out of the water and I love to be wrong in this direction

[SleeperCards]

I realize this is not real football, but it's crazy to me that Nix actually has more total scores than Daniels and is only trailing him by 8 fantasy points. Nix has put up nice stats after the first 2 games of the year.

Daniels started out on fire. To be fair, he played the Panthers, Bears, Giants as his first few games.

3 of Nix's first games were against tough defenses, Steelers, Jets, Seahawks.

I think it was more of a product of being his first games learning a new system at NFL speed. And if I am nitpicking the Seahawks are not a tough defense.

I think Peyton has really started playing more to Nix's strength. They have been utilizing a really effective screen game lately which has paid off. He isn't asking Nix to do a ton which is smart considering they have a top 3 defense. In fact my favorite defensive stat is opponents yards per play and Denver is the top defense in the league by that metric.

I would like to see his QBR improve over the last part of the year. That will be a good indication to me that he is starting to figure some things out. As it stands, there is a lot of room for improvement in that category.

Lumen field is one of the loudest, toughest places for any opposing player let alone a rookie making his NFL debut. They truly have the 12th man on D thats what I meant by tough D- tough place

He hasnt played a full year yet. Its easy to crown anybody as the next great QB early and then 2-3 years later? We will see how he does long term.

He's met & exceeded my expectations. I am not 'crowning' him yet, but he's on his way.

When he’s bad. He’s a bust

When he plays great he played a bad defense

He’s turned into that guy that quick. Love it

There has to be guys like that so people that were wrong about the player can cast shade on those that were right about the player

We all still casting shade on you about Desmond Ridder

Why? Ridder was a lottery ticket I bought in on dirt cheap and offloaded.

Bo Nix is one of 'MY GUYS' - the guys I tell you ahead of time are going to be good and I load up on as a long term investment. (see my Stroud example last year) Don't be salty because you missed out on the early entry.
To show you my belief in him and that I put my money where my mouth is, I am going to buy a BIG Nix card today
