Oregon native here. I've seen him play live. I was so happy we drafted him, and grabbed Franklin for him too👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Go Broncos!💪🏼

Hey! Fellow Oreagonian!! Yamhil (YC High) Col. Si ce 1980 Where i first became a football fan, thanks to The great John Elway!!

[@gabe_n3324]

A man of God. I expect such big things for this guy. Bo Nix will be the #1 QB in this year’s draft

[@Zetler]

Bo Nix will need the power of Christ to avoid the horrific Broncos drafted QB curse. So profound is this curse that throughout the Broncos entire history, only Tim Tebow managed to avoid its grasp due to his deep personal relationships with the all mighty God. Pray everyday Bo Nix, otherwise you’re doomed.

[@gabe_n3324]

@@Zetler lol. I see you have pondered this topic for quite some time. Nix and Tebow are standing on their faith. God’s got them even if it doesn’t work out in the NFL. In God We Trust

[@therock1232100]

​@@ZetlerTebow was an awful QB. He couldn't hit the side of the barn. Nix has the experience and the basic skills to play...so we'll see. Hopefully he can get the protection and the grasp on the playbook and get good reads

[@therock1232100]

Elway had his chance to get QB Josh Allen...bad GM in picking QBs

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Excellent video. Definitely trust what Jordan sees in Nix. Sean Payton obviously sees it too & believes that Nix can run Payton’s version of the West Coast offense & maximize efficiency.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

Did you also hear the last part? He said enough about Stidham to reveal that he doesn't think Bo needs to start as a rookie & by extension, that Jarrett won't be that easy to beat out.

Great video, Jordan. I didn't even know you made these but I've been huntin down Bo Nix videos as a huge Broncos fan and this is the best by far that I've seen talking about him and breaking down his play.. I'm a BOliever.

[@jordanpalmerqb]

I appreciate it 🤙🏼

[@markwaters7802]

Agree!! Alot/most viedos loose. Chaotic and just not entertaining or good. Your is! Great job!

[@Kisamefishfry]

Important part of some of these deeper throws, he has guys to dump off to or shorter throws. He knows that, and is hunting. He takes what he gets but by no means has a check down mentality.

[@lingus1382]

I think it’s hilarious how everyone always says QBs need to “take what the defense gives you” and then shits on dudes for taking the shorter throws

[@CoachKevanKillsit]

Maaan I hope we can all be patient with this one. I know it’s been a long time and I’m ready to start winning again but we can’t expect a Super Bowl run his first year. Imagine the pressure. I just hope we can all be patient.

[@billbellell9462]

Nix's running puts me to mind of John Elway and so does his football intelligence. Quick reads, quicker release, awesome spiral, and extreme accuracy. Works for me. Bo Nix is a comp with Drew Brees with much more athleticism.

[@richardbarber448]

Great break down on Nix and review of Stidham who did look very good in two games as a Raider. The Broncos could be a suprise in games this season !

[@ALFAMALEGENERAL]

As a chiefs fan, I was pissed that teams allowed drnver to grt nix. I had him as the best qb in the draft, he has the it factor., The mahomes/Brady I'll get it done if nobody else will.

[@jeffdykstra8416]

Wow, great take! Can’t wait to see how Bo fits in Payton’s scheme.

[@DD-sr9xm]

We talk all the time about how important WHERE a promising QB is drafted. Mac Jones to NE, disaster. David Carr to Houston, disaster. CJ Stroud to Houston, brilliant. Bo Nix and his skill set to the Broncos and Sean Payton, hopefully brilliant. This QB’s skill set is ideal for how Payton wants to play football. More smart than athletic, accurate, controlled, cerebral, takes coaching well, extreme work ethic. This is a very good match of qb to coach and scheme.

[@cjcurtis8944]

Mariota to the Titans ruined him too. I firmly believe that what happened in Tennessee broke Marcus. I mean, I don’t think Marcus was ever going to be a hall of famer, but his potential was never able to be realized. Fit is everything.

[@williamhermann6635]

In most cases, yes. I think Nix is a special case tho because hes literally played more college games than any other qb in the history of the sport and theres no substitute for experience. Nix would likely have at least a decent floor even if he went to a lousy situation. Most guys who bust are 21 year olds when they're drafted with only a year or 2 of college starting experience. Theyre just not ready mentally or physically and the weight of a bad franchise on their shoulders breaks them. Nix is a 24 year old rookie whos seen it all in college with 2 different programs and went through more than his share of adversity. At worst he would be like a Jimmy G earlier in his career before all the injuries piled up. But with a qb guru head coach like Payton, his ceiling is limitless.

I may be putting too much stock in the senior bowl practices, but I saw that and wouldnt spend more rhan a 4th round pick on him. Hes in the best place he can be tho. If Sean Payton cant make him good, no one can

[@flacko_jody2130]

[@rjrjr1]

I liked his gameplay this past year but he came off as a douche in his senior bowl interviews and looked terrible there. That def gave me a maybe overly negative opinion of him

Hope Bo or Stiddy do a bettet job than Russ did, although i feel they could of won 2 or 3 more games with better coaching. Sean has to produce wins this year. Hopefully can make the playoffs by 2026. Go Broncos!!!

[@OmniXenO]

He’s good, but I watched ALL his games and noticed that he keeps throwing the ball behind his receivers just a bit, a lot of times they had to slow down or adjust their bodies to catch it!

[@crisantechris]

He puts the ball where only his receivers can catch it. Even though they may have to adjust on some throws, he can fit it into some pretty tight windows.

[@watchmesquatch]

Casual ass take.

[@OmniXenO]

@@watchmesquatch Unjustified escalation!!

[@UsefulPreconceivedNotions]

Yup. hopefully Payton notices & fixes it because that's something he's excellent at, spotting & fixing weaknesses, not *denying they exist* & reacting accordingly. This is why Russ had to go. What the problem was isn't fixable. He can no longer scramble the way he used to so that he can find a spot he can see the field from. That's Absolutely Everything his play is based upon. As a result he led the league in throws behind the line of scrimmage *for the past **_five years_* topping off last season with 23.7% of his passes being those. Since they barely average 2 yards each, he was setting up 3rd & longs where the D would know a pass was coming, bring the pressure & so he'd throw behind the LOS on 3rd down, killing every drive that started on their side of the field. That is useless. He can't move the ball down the field. This was _after_ losing weight this off-season. I'm a big fan, but I honestly think Russ is done. Anyhow, back to Nix: I think that his lack of good coaches forced him to focus on mastering the short pass & that as an unintended consequence, the muscles needed to throw harder have not gotten the attention needed. I think that if he tries working on his back right away he'll throw something out. What it looks like to me is he throws with too little of his body, too much arm. I think he needs to work all his side muscles _then_ incorporate exercise to strengthen his back. If you look at photos of most QBs the instant before they launch the ball, they look almost like contortionists. Their arms look bent in ways that look unnatural. Not Nix. He doesn't flex back much & doesn't get his weight behind the ball. No zip. That needs to change or he's gonna throw a ton of pick 6s in the NFL because the ball gets to the receivers too slowly.

[@OmniXenO]

[@Badger5280]

[@xannith9533]

Working with Stiddy? No wonder he is having such a great ota season. Stiddy really rocking it out at Broncos camp. It’s not a given Nix opens the season as the starter. I think ultimately Nix’s ability under pressure, on third down, and in the red zone will ultimately out class Stiddy but right now, it’s a dead heat out at camp.

[@lingus1382]

I love hearing Stiddy get his flowers, sure he’s no starting franchise guy but he’s slept on so hard as a backup and is just a great guy all around

[@DD-sr9xm]

Stiddy so much better in year two with Payton. And if Stiddy starts the season at 1 that’s fine, Bo will use that time constructively. It’s win-win, just hope the Broncos get their wins.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

Jordan- I read your statements a few weeks ago about how ill prepared you thought Jarrett Stidham was when he got to the Patriots because he was coming from terrible systems at Auburn & Baylor that didn't teach him anything of value for the NFL. Nix played in the same system Jarrett did for 4 of the 5 seasons he was in college. The only year he didn't (2021) he struggled in Bryan Harsin's offense with pro style passing sets that required more complex reads & was temporarily benched. Despite this, the majority of this Denver fan base assumes Nix can just come in & start as a rookie. Stidham spent the last 5 years in the NFL's best QB rooms & Sean Payton made a specific point when he signed him of talking about how he saw him as a potential starter, & especially how he had a high football IQ, knew how to read defenses & throws a very accurate catchable ball. Basically he said virtually everything about Stidham that he is now saying about Nix. The Denver media is apparently entirely unaware of this since none of them have spoken a word about it. I like the way you're crediting Stidham here as well for being a formidable obstacle for Bo, so I'd like your opinion on whether you think Stidham can hold him off, & if so for how long. I think people have forgotten that this guy beat Alabama & Georgia in the same season when both were ranked #1. They are forming opinions based on two meaningless late season starts in Denver in which he did nothing to show he was not capable of the job. I also take note of the fact that Nix only truly blossomed when he was surrounded by NFL level talent & behind a top 3 offensive line. I don't think this is a slam dunk for Bo.

[@williamhermann6635]

Bo Nix played more games in college than any other qb ever, which means he's literally the most experienced quarterback prospect ever.

[@petrawalterova4105]

GO BO!!!!! GO BRONCOS!!!!!

[@Hi_Its_Chris]

I hope he plays great every week except for the two that he plays us.

[@ronald8792]

Im hoping Bo has a good season for selfish reasons but there are a couple things that bothers me about his game,...firstly, he ops to throw off his front foot when he has time to set his feet, secondly, he tends to run after only one read.

[@cjcurtis8944]

He runs to give himself time and vision to go through his reads. He’s a head down field guy, not a get scared and run guy.

[@daniellee1870]

i see an irony where both Nix & Stid get minor injuries in same game and Zach Wilson ends up starting and never looks back like Tom Brady. i noticed Jordan Palmer was wearing a white 'Wilson' hat..

[@danzieltaylor6394]

Just hope we can get a a playoffs spot

[@GelatoBoii]

“Quietly, The Denver Broncos had just built the best young QB rooms in the league… Paired with one of the best Offensive Mind…” I couldn’t agree more, I have seen countless takes saying Broncos have the worst Qb room, rated 30-32nd by multiple media outlets but they are all simply Casuals.

[@leefleck3598]

Just got one thing to say watching Bo nix scramble remind me of just one quarterback Fran Tarkington I've seen him around 3040 50 yds backwards and then throw a bomb let's just hope the broncos offensive line protects Bo better than fran got.😅

[@matthewshaw3641]

Don't expect anything from him. Just sit back and let him surprise. Average wins with 8 games or more as a rookie qb is 3 so yeah facts vs hopes. John Elway 7 touchdowns and 14 interceptions? I mean people got Bo Nix doing better than a hall of fame qb. And what a person does on the college really doesn't tell you much it just gives you clues. As for qbs coming into the nfl i generally pay attention to 1 key detail no one even mentions. You have college qbs who throw the ball at receivers and not to them Bo Nix throws to his receivers not at them like most of qbs drafted before him.

[@markwaters7802]

Yep! Praise Jesus & can i getta big Hoorahh! Said the Marine fghter jet guy!!

[@ChiefofThangz907]

Its not that broncos chose him first over all, its that he was the 6th qb to be drafted...THATS DISRESPECT and Nix willl show why...stay tuned💪😎🙏🔥🔥🔥

Jordan the bro

[@chrisgough06]

Are you Carson Palmer brother

[@thomasgabbitas3801]

Jordan has never met a young quarterback he didn’t like

[@denverbroncosmilehighview9897]

You know and I know Jordan, that to 'really' evaluate a QB (or ANY player) you have to go through the tape series by series. One or two decent plays does NOT make Bo Nix Drew Brees, come on. When I (and others) looked at the full body of work of Nix, some bad things jumped out that he will have to clean up. One, is his tendency to predetermine and stair down. Second, there is a whole lot more 'Russell Wilson' in this guy than Brees. Too many times pulling the ball down and bailing out of a 'clean' pocket for my liking, considering he had one of the better pass pro O-lines in the country. I would feel a whole lot better about Nix if he was going to the Saints two season prior to Brees retirement than to the overrated Denver Broncos.

[@andreamaya1689]

Do you think he has arm strength concerns?

[@bridger1172]

Bree’s didn’t have a great arm neither did Peyton yet there hall of famers I think Bo has a better arm then Bree’s and he makes it all up with timing.

[@smercxz]

He doesn’t have a weak arm by any means don’t listen to the talking heads

[@JLove4MVP]

Bo nix can throw a BOMB. The nix hate is insane

[@ryangillispie5094]

He doesn’t. He can sling it. His arm isn’t elite but it’s more than sufficient.

[@sgee-vc1hz]

Please, No Bix Nix!

[@kipkyzer9298]

I am a Broncos fan as well as an Auburn fan. What I am most concerned about is when Bo played at Auburn, he was mediocre at best. Now mind you, it was against the toughest conference in CFB. He transferred to Oregon because the Pac 12 is like dropping down to high school football. I am hoping his 2 years he was able to gain more confidence and is ready to play in the NFL, but I have my reservations

[@loganmccabe8647]

PAC-12 teams were 1-0 against ACC, 5-2 against BIG12, 3-2 against BIG10, and 1-2 against SEC in 2023…. What’s that make the other conferences?

[@musicbyTaraRose]

Then what about Heisman winner Lsu QB Jayden Daniels (2nd overall pick right after Pac 12/USC QB Caleb Williams at number 1) who struggled against Pac 12 defenses for years before he transferred to the SEC and tore it up? So it works both ways...Broncos got a great one in Bo (and a steal in WR Franklin, too)...

[@gavilanbutler]

Funny how the "high school" level qbs made up 3 of the first qbs taken in the draft.

[@Michael-uu7zq]

I fully agree with this. Nix looks like a different player when playing a ranked opponent and not. When he’s not playing a ranked opponent, he’s a good QB. He’s got all the quality u look for in a QB. When he does play against a ranked team, it’s a completely different story. Nix has an all time college record of 8-28 against ranked opponents. I got a first row seat of this because my Washington Huskies played Nix in two ranked games last year. While Nix got his basic skills down, he seems off. He would panic and roll out of a clean pocked, he would sometime throw balls before properly getting set, and he would try and force balls in. Bo Nix is the type of QB to make the greatest throw you’ll ever see and the worst throw you’ll ever see, in the same drive. And when something is good and bad, it’s mediocre.

[@Michael-uu7zq]

⁠@@gavilanbutler the only reason they got drafted is because of dumb ass NFl teams who can’t evaluate QBs and don’t realize, a QB needs a good support staff to be successful.

[@tantan2798]

Would love Jordan Palmer to teach Bo Nix some things

[@thomasmoshier3920]

All that’s well and good. But when I see Bo Nix, I see Kenny Pickett. How’d that work out for Pittsburgh? I think with Sean Payton as HC, Bo Nix has a chance. But for my money, I’m going with Zach Wilson. Wilson has NFL experience, a bigger arm, and was a higher rated prospect coming out. You get Wilson away from the circus that is the Jets. Give him a stable organization and a top notch HC in Sean Payton. Throw in three years of maturity and Zach Wilson may yet salvage his career. Nix or Wilson? It’s going to be fun watching this play out….

[@richjunker5575]

Zack Wilson? The most experience and has the bigger arm. This is the worst take in the comments.

[@thomasmoshier3920]

That’s right Rich. How many games has your beloved Bo Nix started? ZERO! Bo Nix hasn’t even had a padded practice yet and already he’s been anointed the next John Elway. There’s a reason Zach Wilson was drafted second overall behind Trevor Lawrence. Just as there was a reason Bo Nix was a second round prospect. Average arm strength being one of the factors. Denver way over drafted Bo Nix. The Broncos didn’t have a second round pick. Drink the kool aide my friend…..
