Bo Nix sucked at Auburn. Bo Nix was not a good college QB when he played against age appropriate competition. He had to stay in college forever before finally learning how to play the position and even then his numbers were based on a gimmick offense very different from an NFL offense. There are also reports that he was often confused pre-snap, and relied heavily on signals from the coaching staff to correctly interpret what the defense was planning to do.
This scouting report is accurate in my view:
Nix is not a first-round pick with his lack of leadership and inability to be at the helm of an NFL complex offense.
In his 3-year career at Auburn, he displayed poor accuracy with a 59.5% completion percentage that must not be forgotten during the evaluation process.
In 2023 (pending the bowl game), Nix has displayed an outstanding season statistically in SOME categories. Here are some of the stats that are not being discussed which are red flags when evaluating quarterbacks.
Completion % on throws of 20+ yards: 52.3%
Average depth of target: 6.7 yards
YAC (Yards After Catch) for QBs: No. 1
SOS (Strength of Schedule) No. 62
He lacks progression skills and feels more comfortable checking down or throwing slips where his wide receivers have to contribute to the workload.
His footwork can become “happy feet” when under pressure, resulting in erratic throws. He needs refinement in his processing skills. This Ducks’ QB can get to his primary read, but his hesitancy during receiver breaks and the lack of scanning the full field can lead to missed opportunities. This also happens to deep routes, where despite having the arm strength, he often hesitates which has resulted in turnovers in his career and a low competition percentage in deep ball targets. Lacks LEADERSHIP.
The biggest concern is the transition from the current scheme in Oregon to a more complex offense within the NFL. As we know, Oregon’s offense relies a lot on RPOs, screens, check-downs, and the occasional go-ball against a certain coverage. This means he consistently depends on sideline cues before snaps which makes me raise the question about his ability to helm and lead a complex NFL offense independently. This also means he doesn’t have a lot of experience in a straight and consistent drop-back in the pocket style of offense. Finally, his on-field IQ needs polishing, struggles with progression, and lacks eye discipline and poise.
Who will he remind us of:
2010 third-round selection QB Colt McCoy who played for 5 NFL teams in 12 seasons.
