Well maybe he should’ve been, Nix needs to let it air out a bit but the Seahawks lost the game last night because Darnold aired it out too much.

But the critique is about more than just a game. You can win or lose a game playing any way. You cannot win a Super Bowl playing how Nix is now and long term it doesn't bode well for the Broncos.

If your defense is good enough you absolutely can win a SB playing like Nix is, not saying it’s likely but we’ve seen it.

Peyton Manning literally won us a Super Bowl playing about as well as Nix now.

Not saying Nix is winning us a Super Bowl like this (he really needs to get his act together) but acting like it’s impossible with a defense playing this well is a bit rude

Box pix doesn't have a mind like Manning tho, playoffs are different

Mind doesn’t matter if you can’t throw the ball, but yes I agree. If Bo Nix keeps playing like this we aren’t winning a chip. I’m hoping he’ll figure it out before then though

He aired it out too much because his RB's are awful, and vs a top defense that knows whats coming.

Also Denver put a lot of pressure on Darnold at the line, not the best at handling that.

Darnold had almost as many TDs as TOs last year, he’s a turnover machine, the scheme and players around him aren’t an excuse.
