Bo Knows!!
Anyone else tired of the negative s--t being posted by the so called experts about Bo Nix? Damn I'm tired of the media! No facts, all opinions. I hope he starts and shows the naysayers they were wrong. Mel Kipers is an ahole! Never liked the guy! He's been wrong on many players yet seems to think of himself as relevant. I'm blowing off steam!
Really appreciate all you guys on this forum! Ducks are looking good! Go Ducks and Bo Nix and Troy Franklin!

I never listen to those talking heads, most of whom never played and just need to make noise to justify their paycheck.

“I never listen to those talking heads, most of whom never played and just need to make noise to justify their paycheck.”
You could replace “talking head” with just about any influencer, Instagrammer or TikTok’er and get the same result. Empty hot air. Self justification for narcissists.
While I’m not a big NFL fan per se, I am a Broncos fan and pretty excited if the Bo / Troy pair gets on field time. The team needs it. Go Bo!

Re: Bo Knows!!
With the internet- twitter, You Tube, etc. along with all the talking heads ESPN, CBS, and others employ, everybody is an expert and claim they know what is best for any team.
Just go find what Sean Payton had to say after the Broncos worked Bo out. Sean knows a bit about coaching quarterbacks, I think I would trust his opinion foremost.

Re: Bo Knows!!
Every take by the sports media seems to have to big one way or another. For example they're already anointing Caleb Williams as the next Patrick Mahomes. The first round QB picks work out something like 44% of the time.
At least I'm hearing some positives on Bo from past players. I recently heard former WR who trains and works out with players T. J. Houshmandzadeh defend Denver's pick. I couldn't find the recent interview that I watched, but in the clip he talked about Bo's completion percentage and what Sean Payton does being a perfect fit. Here's a short of T.J. talking Bo up from a month ago.
I'm glad Bo's going to Denver with Sean. To be fair I'd be worried about Bo succeeding if he had to go to a bad team and was forced to make big throws. This shouldn't be the case with Denver so I certainly have an optimistic take on the matter and will be rooting for them.
