Denver fans highlight his completion rate and TD/int ratio, while leaving out that his average depth of target was third lowest in FBS.
Nix is far more likely to be a bottom half or middle of the road starter than a top 10 guy.

I do think Brees' accuracy is far more underrated than most think. It's one thing to be accurate in college and another to be that way in the NFL where windows are far smaller. Perhaps Nix will be wildly accurate in the NFL, but to say his upside is a more athletic version of a Top 10 all time QB without even playing in a preseason game is kinda bold.
