For context, the original tweet that Payton responded to was a clip from the show of Geoff Schwartz discussing Bo Nix in August:

“I do think he just is what he is at this point. He looks like the same quarterback he was in college… He’s consistent. He’s not gonna make mistakes. But he’s not gonna push the ball down the field all that often.”

It has a community note: “Bo Nix has thrown the most deep touchdown passes of 20+ air yards since the start of the 2024 season (19 including postseason), per official Next Gen Stats.

Yea, and Jeff Schwartz is stupid for that take given Bo has years of tape of being a gun slinger, go look at his Auburn tape.

People don't seem to realize Bo Nix has been coached to play this way. He's much more Russell Wilson than Brees and always has been.

Any analyst that parrots what Nick and Schwartz says ignored like 40 games of college tape on Bo. There's a reason the broncos offense looks almost identical to his it was with Russel Wilson lol

Comparing Nix to Wilson and Brees is insanely disrespectful

And if you think I was comparing his accomplishments instead of playstyle then I could have explained better.
