00:00All right, this next player was nowhere near the top.

00:03He was on the tip of no one's tongue

00:05and he ends up being QB7.

00:07Who is it and how did he do it?

00:09Yeah, I mean, Jaden Daniels is QB5,

00:11but Bo Nix is QB7, incredible here.

00:14And I will take the L on this one.

00:17I did not think Bo Nix was getting teams to the playoffs.

00:19I didn't think he was gonna take a team

00:20for a winning record.

00:21And Sean Payton knew what he was getting here.

00:23Clearly he liked the guy,

00:24clearly he fit what he was trying to do.

00:2729 touchdowns, incredible number of 3,700 yards for him.

00:31Now he threw 12 picks.

00:32We'd like to get that number down maybe to single digits,

00:34but regardless, especially when the season started out,

00:37you have to give Bo Nix and Sean Payton a lot of credit.

00:39Nobody cracked, nobody got panicky.

00:42Things did not look good.

00:43In fact, it was kind of a joke in those first couple games.

00:45We were saying, oh, here we go, Bo Nix.

00:47And then the switch just got flipped

00:50and Bo Nix kind of simplified offense.

00:53He is operating it.

00:54He started to gain a lot of confidence.

00:57If you give him, I think a stronger running game next year

00:59to really work with and maybe a real three down

01:01all purpose back,

01:02we can also catch ball in the backfield.

01:03I think you're in a really good spot there

01:05for Bo Nix going in the future.

01:07So again, a terrific finish by him.

01:10Do I wanna draft him as a top 10 quarterback next year?

01:12I don't, but it's gonna be really hard

01:15to not evaluate him as close to that in 2025

01:18when you're looking at the pre-draft ranks there

01:20because Bo Nix, what he did last year,

01:22it might be the baseline.

01:23We'll see, sophomore slumps happen.

01:25Look at CJ Stroud this year,

01:27offensive line continuity.

01:28That was a big problem for Stroud.

01:29Although it is fascinating to think about

01:32that they outscored, or should I say,

01:34out gained their points by a hundred yards

01:35and they still lost yesterday to the Chiefs.

01:37So CJ Stroud pulled it together in the playoffs

01:41despite a disappointing sophomore season.

01:43So he's gonna be fine, but Bo Nix,

01:45we'll see if year two is as kind as year one.
