@KirkHerbstreit@TrinidadChambl1@Joey_Galloway Chambliss double checking every box is spot on! Great call on Saturday, @KirkHerbstreit! Was fun to watch and hear recognition of how exceptional Chambliss is. Total dots. Like that end-of-half TD putting it subtly on the back shoulder.
Round 2-5 grade last year is laughable.
@JordanTLopez Yup. That consensus thought overwhelmingly pushes the Broncos as having the best offensive line in the league says a lot. It’s either to discredit what Nix has done through two seasons or because people simply don’t watch.
That some pundits who are supposedly quarterback experts will watch Brock Purdy play and assert with a straight face that he’s just a product of Kyle Shanahan or “not good” is crazy. Simply not a position to be taken seriously.
Bo Nix “feels like Lamar Jackson” in his acceleration and speed, according to Von Miller.

Odd to see some accountability have to come from an NFL head coach, but so great to see @SeanPayton defend his guy amid all the nonsense.
And this isn’t even close to the worst Bo Nix “analysis” out there. There’s PLENTY of material to work with, coming from the same group that’s said a lot of foolish and unkind things over the years.
Imagine literally saying Josh Allen should play tight end. Ridiculing and dismissing those who (as it turns out, rightly) pointed out that he was an obvious emerging star quarterback. Anyone with any amount of honor or self-respect would strongly consider simply going to do something else after that—or to at least stop being so negative about prospects. Instead, the know-nothings act like know-it-alls and find new targets like Nix.
No matter what Bo does moving forward (and I think he’ll play at a very high level), he’s proven the haters wrong.
Would just be nice if the people who do work at it got more love to be honest. Especially because the fact is there are so few of them today.
Players with 50+ pass TD & 10+ scrimmage TD over the last 2 seasons...

Players to do so in through their first 2 NFL seasons all-time...

The work by @SandoNFL and @TheAthletic to put this together every year is excellent.
But just a reminder that Josh Allen was ranked 22nd after two NFL seasons during which—despite what you might have heard—he played at a much higher level than that relative to the supporting cast on offense.
I suspect that, for the most part, this comes from the executives who don’t think for themselves and/or don’t want to stray from convention, rather than from the coaches. As noted, a coach had Bo Nix in Tier 1. No execs really have the guts to do that.
