You are conflating Bo Nix's historically, catastrophically terrible performances with normal rookie struggles. That is your first mistake. Again, nobody has sucked this badly through two starts at throwing the ball downfield since we've had the technology to track players along these lines. This is quite literally breaking new grounds of suck.I'm just not finding that many good QBs have a good first couple starts as a rookie. Not uncommon for them to sit for their first season.
Your second mistake is not understanding that the struggles he's having are of exactly the type that people who suggested he didn't have NFL talent were saying all along. Bo Nix is doing exactly what the people who thought he wasn't going to be good enough would do in the NFL, and for the reasons those people suggested.
You don't just put all struggling quarterbacks in the same basket. Different quarterbacks are struggling for different reasons and each of them has their own individual sets of obstacles to overcome. If a guy is going out there and playing poorly because he lacks maturity or a mental understanding of the game those are things that can be corrected with teaching and experience. If a guy is going out there and showing you that he doesn't have enough talent, no amount of waiting is going to change the physical reality of that situation. Especially when he's already old for a rookie.
