KUWT 5 min react to Rookie Mini camp

DMac at Rookie mini camp with great news about a great day

[@brentbman6945]

I've watched every throw Nix made for the Ducks in 2023. Anyone who claims he doesn't have a strong arm is flat out wrong. I liked him before I watched every throw in 2023, now I'm thrilled he's a Bronco. The guy is a STUD.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

Very few people have made the claim that Nix doesn't have an arm that is NFL ready. This appears to be mostly a media creation they're using as a straw man. The test Nix has to pass is going to be mental, not physical. That is true for nearly every rookie QB who is drafted in the NFL.

100% I went into watching Bo's film expecting to confirm my bias that Bo was boring and noodle armed. What ended up happening was me getting wowed and falling in love with the dude's play. Bo is a full grown man as a rookie. That's extremely rare.

Bio is a total team guy, total leader, all in.

[@WesWilliams_RealEstate]

Let's GO BO!!!

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

Bo Nix is 6'2"+...if he looks taller it's because his hair stands up another 2 inches.

I can't wait for TC. I haven't been this excited to be a Bronco fan since Peyton Manning was here. (only talking about recency, not the JE years).

[@78LedHead]

Tell em, D-Mac!

[@WesWilliams_RealEstate]

By the way, that was a 3:23 min react, not 5 min! I feel cheated 😂

[@LiveIsUs]

Thanks D-Mac

[@KillUwithTruth]

You bet

[@CalebJacob]

Great stuff, DMac! Love this format - keep it up. Can’t wait to see more coverage on camp. It’s nice to have some hope in the air again.

[@KillUwithTruth]

[@zippyiddydoodah]

You go,BO😍

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

D-Mac...I know you guys despise Russell Wilson, but it's time to let it go, he's gone. Are you going to be shitting on that guy for another year now? As for Nix, you can't tell if Bo Nix is "a perfect fit" until you find out if he can make NFL reads in less than 2.5 seconds, something he has never done before. The fact that he threw some passes to guys in shorts in a 3 day mini camp is about as irrelevant as it gets. Paxton Lynch looked good in camp too. Unfortunately, John Elway starting hyping him up as a potential rookie starter 3 days after the 2017 draft & there was no way that he was ready for it. The media picked that up & contributed their own circus. The end result was, it shot his career down the crapper before it ever got started. Now you're doing it again with this kid. You're doing him no favors with that. Fun fact; Bo Nix has spent 4 of his 5 years in an offensive system in college that is one of the weakest in the college ranks in terms of what it teaches QBs for the NFL. In the one season Nix had in an offense that used NFL passing sets (2021) his production slipped, he got temporarily benched, & he immediately bolted to Oregon to join his former OC Kenny Dillingham in order to get back into the same system he was used to. Nix will need to demonstrate that he can not only memorize pages of the playbook, but put that into practice & do more than make pre-snap reads but post snap adjustments. If he can do that...which even Drew Brees was unable to do as a rookie...he can possibly start. But this idea that he's a slam dunk starter & a franchise QB who is perfect for this offense is something we have to see on the field, not hear from reporters trying to ride the hype train.

I was there in person to witness it. And I wasn’t the only one

Quite literally the LEAST qualified 'reporter' to judge anything related to QB's or the Broncos. D Mac is a doornob
