Rivers has a much, much better arm than Nix.
Once again
2/12 with 2 INT on passes that traveled 10 or more air yards
Hell, it wasn't better at half that distance:
7/22 with 2 INT on passes that traveled 5 or more air yards
Stop bringing up Hall of Famers to compare to this kid. Nix's arm makes Kyle Orton's look like Brett Favre's.
Anyway, today's injury report is bad
Audric Estime - moved to IR with an ankle injury, will miss a minimum of 4 games
Josh Reynolds - did not practice today, questionable for Sunday
Devaughn Vele - did not practice today, questionable for Sunday
Garrett Bolles - did not practice today, questionable for Sunday
Just lol, you don't have to like Bo Nix, but your assessment of him after 1 regular season game is a complete laugher.
Doesn't have NFL arm talent is a complete BS cop out that lazy people who don't like a guy like to use to make it sound like they know what they are talking about. There are countless examples of successful NFL QBs that don't have an Elway arm. Hell Manning set all time records with a broken down body and a dead arm in 2013. Sure his arm was fine prior to the injury but he was wildly successful in Denver with a dead arm. Drew Brees is 2nd all time in passing yards and was undersized with a mid arm. You can say those are all time greats that you can't use as comparisons, but after 1 game they sure as shit weren't all time greats, they developed into them.
Let's base a kid's whole career based off his first NFL game, seems completely reasonable. He didn't make any throws downfield and had 2 INTs, he just lacks arm talent.. ok let's just gloss over the fact his o-line surrendered the most pressure of any line in the league, his WRs/TEs couldn't create separation or break a tackle or make a guy miss if their lives depended on it, and the RBs were so so. But yes it was all Bo Nix's fault and he clearly lacks arm talent. Got it. Even Mahomes would have struggled with the shit show the offensive players put together last game.
Let's give it a year before we start making baseless claims like he lacks NFL arm talent. It will be obvious at that point as to what he can and can't do at the NFL level. We don't know jack shit after one game.
