Bo Nix Is Playing Like the WORST QB in the NFL

It's hard to overstate how bad Bo Nix has been for the Denver Broncos this season. Look, I've never been a fan of Bo Nix, even when he was at Oregon and as an NFL prospect, but he has taken it to new lows this year. Early in his career, he was actually starting to prove me wrong, but this year it's been awful. The Broncos defense is bailing him out, and the only reason that they're 4-2 right now. You look at any number with Nix, and it's absolutely brutal. Sam Darnold played one of the worst games I've seen him play in a long time on Thursday Night Football, and Bo Nix was somehow still worse on an EPA per play basis. He's by far the worst quarterback in football right now that's qualified in terms of EPA per play. And then you go back even further. Through the first six games of the season, his average depth of target, which is kind of the faith or the willingness to take risks that is quantified, he is 701st out of 701 quarterbacks through their first six games in average depth of target. That's absurd. This is a guy who is completely just checking it down on screens. There's no faith from the play callers. There's no faith in himself, and it is absolutely boring and brutal to watch right now. I've never been a Bo Nix guy, but even this is a new low for him and the Broncos.
