OregonDucks No. 1 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Although it’s only preseason (and the Packers didn’t play their starters), Bo Nix has looked very comfortable in his two pre-season games and is likely to be named the starting QB for the Denver Broncos. He is gong through his progressions and looking the safety off, like a veteran QB. Hopefully the young QBs take note that it pays to be patient and get the experience in college playing the position. Bo finished the night 8-9 for 80 yards and a TD (note: he had another passing TD called back). What if Nix has the most successful NFL career of all of the QBs drafted last year? It’s certainly possible with his skill set and playing for Coach Sean Peyton. Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix has fantastic performance as he gets closer to starting job WWW.YAHOO.COM The Broncos had to be thrilled with what they saw from Bo Nix.

Drake Moderator No. 3 Share Posted August 19 Nix looks comfortable in Denver’s offense. He gets the ball out quick and has made solid decisions within their passing game. Not a fan of Denver, but will always check out highlights because of Nix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar No. 4 Share Posted August 19 Bo looks just like he did at Oregon and the announcers were absolutely gushing over him. I'm really proud of the UO QBs in the league. Honestly, can you think of any more talent and wholesome people in the NFL than Nix, Herbert, and Mariota? Such wonderful people and ambassadors for our program. 1 1 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article that Marcus has looked better than expected and may be named the starter for week 1. He’ll have to play really good to keep the job though. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoGaDawg No. 8 Share Posted August 20 I’m very excited for Bo! I’ve watched him this Preseason and he looks good! I’m not surprised that he looks good, but I’m a bit surprised he looks so good so early. I hope he keeps it up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Waddler Moderator No. 9 Share Posted August 20 (edited) As expected, all credit for Bo’s amazing production is being ascribed to Bronco coaching by NFL and Denver media pundits. It’s like Stein said in his post practice interview, Bo learned how to get the ball to his playmakers fast: TDs over moonshots. As he said, hard lesson for QBs to accept, but Bo did, and the Broncos are now reaping the rewards of that development.

OregonDucks Author No. 10 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Bill Belichick: Rookie Bo Nix And Denver Coach Sean Payton Look Like Perfect Fit WWW.SI.COM Former Oregon Duck quarterback Bo Nix is off to a hot start to his NFL rookie campaign. In his first... “Nix is catching the attention of legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick, who says Nix and Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton are a perfect fit.” “Sean's offense is a very fast offense," Belichick said. "They don't go no huddle, but they substitute fast. They call the play. They get up the line of scrimmage. And once the snap everything's moving fast as fast as anybody in the league so there's a lot of mental processing and decision making that has to take place in a hurry." Though Coach Belichick cautioned that NFL teams run very vanilla defense in the pre-season. Edited August 21 by OregonDucks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Duck No. 11 Share Posted August 21 Somebody likely already mentioned this, but apparently it's looking like Mariota might earn the starting job as well. Which made me wonder, if that is the case, when was the last time in the NFL that one university had 3 QBs that all started on the same weekend? Has it ever happened?

OregonDucks Author No. 14 Share Posted August 22 So happy for Bo! As John Elway said there is a big jump from pre-season to the regular season and all young quarterbacks go through their ups and downs (even John Elway and Peyton Manning). Sean Peyton is a great quarterback coach so it'll be fun to watch. I'm sure that Bo will get a warm reception in Seattle for his first NFL regular season start.
