More generally, anyone who watched that game, and compared it with Wilson's performance last year, should notice that Nix tends to climb the pocket, rather than bailing out like Wilson did. That's a good thing. And I think the criticism in those tweets that Nix a few times climbed into pressure overlooks the general point that his technique and instincts are better than Wilson or other recent Denver QBs. But as you know, my point was generally that it's a bit crazy to nitpick the performance to that extent. |

Simmons is a loss. But have you noticed that he still has not been signed. [I have to edit this because he just signed with Atlanta but the point stands--he sat unclaimed for a very long time, which suggests that no one in the NFL believed he was a critical piece.] As for QB, I really don't know how you live with yourself saying that, in comparison to what you said last year. He was not good. His stats were middling and he played worse than the stats. He gave up way too many sacks that were his fault, and he lost his nerve and bailed out of the pocket incredibly often. At least one of the QBs on the roster can give what he gave last year. Denver took one of the worst dead money hits in history to get rid of Wilson. I haven't heard commentators saying that was crazy. But you're here saying "yeah he was pretty good." Last edited by manchambo; 08-15-2024 at 02:46 PM.. |

I don't see how you could look at the stats from that game and say something other than pretty good. Not great but not bad. |

Rookie quarterback to start with. Paired with no weapons, and a bottom 5 roster. You weeent as good as your record last season. You had those fluke wins in the middle of the season. Bet that kind of ****ery doesn’t happen twice in 2 years.

He was pretty good. I don't know if you watched the game, but is your conclusion that he actually was bad because some guy I've never heard of tweeted breakdowns of his play in which he claims Nix could have thrown completions in some better fashion? I can't find any professional analysis that says he wasn't at least "pretty good." For example, if you want to look at some more tweets: https://sports.yahoo.com/twitter-rea...210030441.html |

We're celebrating mostly FG drives in the preseason now? He had one boring TD and should've had a pick. It was an average game, and absolutely overrated due to box score scouting. |
