Should we be worried about Bo Nix? Tim Jenkins breaks down the film
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough first preseason appearance, going 6-of-11 for 31 yards against the San Francisco 49ers. Tim Jenkins, host of the All Things QB YouTube, gave a level-headed review of the performance earlier this week.
"All in all, was that game cause for concern?" asked Jenkins. "No. It's preseason week 1."
Jenkins had praise for Nix on certain throws, in particular a throw to wide receiver Courtland Sutton on the first drive of the game. Although the pass ended up being incomplete, it was Jenkins' favorite throw from Nix. "This one to me is probably my favorite throw from Bo," said Jenkins. "It's a great ball; Sutton has to make this play."
Jenkins also broke down how Nix froze the safety with his eyes before throwing it to Sutton on a go-route on the sideline. "Absolutely perfect ball," said Jenkins.
Nix did have his struggles, however. Jenkins noted how Nix underthrew a few passes, one to wide receiver Troy Franklin, one in the end zone to Sutton, and a pass right before Nix's safety to running back RJ Harvey. And then there was the safety.
"That safety hurts," said Jenkins. "These are the kind of plays where it's like, there's not a ton to coach, right? Outside of, hey, he knows this, but know our situation. Where are you dropping? We're dropping back towards the end zone. Be smart. Get outside the pocket, but you have to get'er back to the line."
Overall, Jenkins feels that Nix had a good preseason debut, with the caveat of cleaning things up. In order for Nix to take a step forward in 2025, he has to make certain throws and decisions to get this team points and win football games.
