What Sean Payton texted Colin about Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix | Colin Cowherd NFL

[@dominicdecoco7950]

Everyone loves to hold Colin’s bad takes around his neck so we got to give him this one. He’s been absolutely 100% correct on the broncos and bo nix

[@Bfbm12]

Thank the lord he got this one right 🙏🏾😂

[@OriginalWhiteDevil]

So what. I got it correct about Nix and Payton's offense, too. Anybody unbiased could see it was a perfect fit.

[@kylekitzman]

If you stay committed to your choice, it will eventually pay off. As a Broncos fan, Collins has been a believer for three years, and I'm just being honest about that. I've publicly stated that I'm a firm believer in Nix. I couldn't believe the Broncos' win total was 5.5.

[@taylorrenee4880]

@@OriginalWhiteDevilcool story. Want a cookie?

[@brob8204]

I would also give him credit for Sam Darnold. It's easy to pick apart what he can't do, but he's got his team playing for at least a division title and automatic playoff bid. I think the Viking coaches would take that as a W.

[@tomyumwithnoodles469]

I really appreciate Colin's positive reporting on Bo. A lot of people have been ignoring or even hating on Bo and the Broncos. The Broncos have been playing at a consistent level, taking care of the teams they should be and keeping it competetive in matches against the heavyweights (outlier in the ravens game).

[@Jesse-JC]

[@ddavidone6538]

@ Man I was thinking the same thing! Like Bo Coming out of college, Mac was “The most NFL ready” and with a “low ceiling high floor” all the same things. Mac’s downfall IMO is having a DC become his OC in his 2nd year and then a different OC in year 3. Hopefully Denver keeps the band together

Especially keeping DC (VJ) for another year. Boom! We have a high-ranked defense in the league. Man! Sean knows what he is doing. Credits go to SP

[@taylorrenee4880]

Sean Payton isn’t throwing the ball. Remember when everyone said Belechick was the reason Tom won those titles? And then Tom left and won a title in Tampa and Belechick left the league. He calls great plays, but you can call all the plays you want, if you don’t have a QB who can make those plays, it doesn’t matter.

[@jameslane9537]

@@taylorrenee4880 I agree to a point. However, a good coach installs plays that work to his QB strengths and maximizes the chances of successful execution. It's a symbiotic relationship. Payton was running a pretty lean and conservative offense in the beginning and has been opening it up more as Nix's skills and confidence grow. I also think this may be one of the reasons Caleb Williams is struggling: Shane Waldron's gameplan wasn't a good match for Williams' current skill level.

[@brianjasnica3530]

[@guylenz7113]

Perspective: The Falcons were down 3 DBs to start the game and then suffered more defensive injuries as the game went on. This is also a team ranked 32nd in sacks and QB pressures before the game started. Also an away game in Denver at 5000 ft elevation (they were gassed). Nix is good and Colin is correct to hype him, but this was the best of all possible scenarios for him.

[@billyhaas203]

College stats, 5 yrs starting, Senior year Stats, 45TDs, 3int, sacked 6 times, 77% completions, 0 fumbles, 4.3 ypc and 6 TDs. How he wasn’t the number one pick idk besides NFL scouts suck at there job apparently. Caleb Williams was sacked 36 times and fumbled 8 times, but he’s actually surprised me with the bears. Bo Nix is good at getting rid of the ball quickly taking a lot of pressure off the line.

True champions create the belief that the team can compete with the best by proving that on the field. Bo has created just that...imagine not having any "all stars"🙄{a ridiculous take for professional players} and doing well anyway...this is the NFL; every player is a pro... not to mention young. When a team grows together as the Broncos have every game, it's difficult to deter them from that comradery as their confidence builds. As the game slows down for Bo, the development of each play gets clearly faster with each week as a team...Broncos are competing with champions...I can't wait to see what the remainder of the season has in stock for us Bronco Fans...GO BO-RONCOS!!!!!

[@cloudboy.x]

100% agree & well said. That’s something these “analysts” & casual fans will never understand. They look at these teams like they aren’t professional & get so caught up in the big names that it makes them blind. Broncos always had the potential & last year when they bounced back from that 1-5 start I knew that as soon as we drafted a QB & got some weapons it would only be a matter of time before we started seeing the broncos turn heads & make these games with contenders challenging. Let’s go Broncos country

The current projections on Bo Nix's regular season stats have him equaling Lamar Jackson's stats last year. About 3400 yards, 67% accuracy, 24TDs, 7 Ints, 425 rushing yards and 5 rushing TDs. When the dead cap is gone next year... this is going to be a very good Denver Broncos team. As you guys said, you put them with the Chargers and the Chiefs... The Raiders will also have to play the Commanders, Eagles and possibly the Ravens, Bills or Steelers. The Raiders are looking at another terrible season on strength of schedule alone.

Saints fan coming in to correct some disinformation! Y'all need to put some stats in front of you before you starting spitting statistics and records. It's your job, for god's sake. You're talking about how great Payton is based on his first year performance, but you're missing all the context. Yes, Payton took the previously 3-13 2005 Saints to a 10-6 record his first year as HC in 2006, and yes they made it to the NFC championship... but that was in an extremely weak division where no one else had above a .500 record. The NFC in general was weak that year...only 4 teams in the entire conference had positive point differentials. The Saints got into the playoffs as the #2 seed and therefore had a bye week. They also got to host the 10-6 Eagles in New Orleans... and it was hard fought, they barely won that game. They got pummeled by the Bears in the NFC Championship game, 39-14. The Saints went on to go 7-9 and 8-8 (bottom of their division with that .500 record!) in their following seasons before finally making it to the big show with a 13-3 regular season record in 2009. Yes, Payton was a huge, immediate change in New Orleans, but Colin out here making it sound like they were champions overnight. Nah, it took 3-4 years. That's what it will take in Denver, too. They will have some playoff showings and knock on the door.

I’ll double-down on something I said after the draft: Daniel’s is the only one in this group who can be better than Bo. And don’t count Daniel’s out because his offensive coaches suck and Bo’s don’t.
