Relax, Broncos Country. Let’s give Bo Nix some grace.
The start to the rookie quarterback’s time in Denver hasn’t been pleasant after creating a ton of buzz and optimism during training camp and two impressive preseason games. Now the Broncos are 0-2, while Nix has thrown 384 passing yards, four interceptions and zero touchdowns.
Indeed, the numbers are hard to gaze upon, but it’s still too early to panic. Nix is enduring the pains of a first-year starting quarterback just like his fellow rookies: Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Chicago’s Caleb Williams. One stat that truly speaks to their rocky transition is that Nix, Daniels and Williams have thrown a combined 196 passes without a touchdown.
