00:00But Joe, back to Bo Nix very quickly here, because you mentioned it.

00:07He is rivaling Jaden Daniels for the best rookie quarterback this season, and thus the

00:12Offensive Rookie of the Year award winner.

00:14We thought it would be a race of two QBs, probably the top two picks, Caleb Williams

00:19for Chicago, Jaden Daniels in Washington.

00:22Now I think it's a two quarterback race, but instead of Caleb, it's Bo.

00:27And you see those odds there.

00:28It did not move after where the results were last night, entering the game plus 240 for

00:35Bo Nix after the game plus 240.

00:38Maybe not his best statistical night, his first multi-interception game since the very

00:43second game of his NFL career, but it wasn't like drastically awful decisions or rookie

00:49mistakes for those two interceptions.

00:53And still threw for nearly 300 yards and had a dime of a touchdown pass to a streak

00:58in Marvin Mims down the middle of the field early on in the third quarter.

01:04And as you start to make your comparisons between the two, Jaden Daniels had four total

01:08touchdowns in the blowout win over Tennessee on Sunday.

01:12Jaden Daniels got off to the very historic start in the opening month of his rookie campaign.

01:18But for the most part, he's cooled off at least for those statistical anomalies.

01:22And Bo Nix has been right there.

01:24Washington is 8-5.

01:27Denver is 8-5.

01:29Both teams with rookie quarterbacks more than likely going to play in the postseason.

01:34The arguments, Joe, at times are very similar between Daniels and Nix.

01:39Yeah, they are, except one was the number two pick in the draft.

01:43The other one was the number 16 pick in the draft.

01:46So, you know, the expectations for Daniels was much greater than it was for Bo Nix.

01:53Everyone thought Bo Nix was going to be a bust and they were going, remember, Ben, when

01:57they traded?

01:58What is Sean Payton doing?

01:59Oh, my God.

02:00They went from Russell Wilson, now this guy, no, but this guy can't play quarterback.

02:05I thought Aikman said something real interesting on the broadcast last night.

02:08He was talking about Bill Parcells.

02:11And Parcells' rule of thumb whenever it came to drafting quarterbacks is he wanted the

02:15quarterback that had the most college football experience.

02:19He would have never drafted Richardson, ever, in a million years, and Indy is figuring out

02:24why.

02:25But who played more college football than Bo Nix?

02:29And I think what we're seeing is it makes sense.

02:31It correlates.

02:32Ben, a guy with that much football experience, I don't know why we're surprised at what we're

02:38getting from him.

02:39I'm just shocked at the geniuses and the scouts in the NFL that nobody saw this guy having

02:46any more value than what Sean Payton did, who couldn't believe he was still available

02:50that late in the draft.
