I won't pretend that I see every post on the Huddle - especially the last month, when I've been busy with life. So, seeing the post I'm responding to here, I decided to just peruse the last week or so of posts, and see if I could see what you're talking about. The overwhelming majority of posts seem to be along the same lines as what has been posted in this thread. Sort of, "Hey, so far, so good. It would be great if we had something here. Thank the good Lord we moved on from Russ." A lot of you guys seem to see only what you want to see. It's why I said this thread is mostly worthless. The conversation in the last few days with manchambo in this thread is a perfect example. Stuff gets attributed to him that he simply didn't say. It's impossible to have an honest conversation - a strange phenomenon I don't really see with any other fanbase. |

I don’t see why this is an insult? If Nix is a solid starting QB who can run a functioning offense, that’s pretty good. Especially compared to Denver for the past several years.
When you look at the hit rate on first round QBs, that would be an acceptable outcome. Of course you hope the ceiling is higher, but who knows. One thing I’ve been convinced of is that no one really knows which QB is going to pan out. If they did, Jamarcus Russel wouldn’t have been the first pick, Mahomes wouldn’t have been the tenth pick, Zach Wilson wouldn’t have been the second pick, and so on. |

The loudest voices tend to become the spokesmen for the fanbase, fair or not. Don't pretend like that doesn't go both ways. I think you're taking it a little too seriously though. I'm not saying every fan is like Q Joe. I do think there's a lot of desperation throughout the fanbase right now though. Btw, the most extreme opinion I've seen was posted by your boy JeudyMims, who started a thread called "Didn't I tell you we'd be Super Bowl contenders?" ![]() |

Well, maybe because it's not an insult. Just an observation. I always liked Alex, though after a couple seasons I knew (as did just about every other Chiefs fan at the time) that Alex wasn't going to lead us to a SB. Not without a lot more help and a good dose of luck anyway. And obviously, an Alex 2.0 would be a large improvement over all the other QBs DEN has tried out since Manning retired. Just not a real high ceiling, if that's what Nix becomes. And I want to be clear about this, Nix isn't up to Alex, not yet. He just has shown moments when he reminds me of Alex. He still has to play a season or two and prove he's even up to Alex's level. I do expect that Sean will get as much as he can out of Nix. What that will ultimately look like in a two-three seasons will be up to Nix. |

I'd just like to know what we're supposed to be so impressed by to this point. What has he done that wowed you? Especially in the context of facing backups/vanilla schemes, little gameplanning, etc.
Sure, he's probably going to be better than what Denver's had in recent years. Shouldn't the bar be a little higher than that? Do you really think his ceiling is anywhere close to Mahomes, Allen, Caleb Williams, Lamar, Burrow, etc? Anyone who's insulted by Alex Smith comparisons might want to re-watch those Packers highlights. Now wait til he's facing top-shelf first string defenses that have studied his film and learned all his tendencies. |

He had a 140 QBR in the last game. He completed 8 of 9 at 9 yards per completion. He scored on all but one of his drives in the two games so far. It is preseason, but it’s not like all QBs do that in preseason. And, is his ceiling as high as Mahomes? I doubt it but it’s not reasonable to expect that a QB picked at 12 would be one of the best QBs in history. Last edited by manchambo; Yesterday at 08:33 PM.. |
