What do y’all see in Nix that you don’t in Lance?
More years as a starter. Marked improvement in his final season. Good improvisor. Good at navigating the pocket.
But most importantly, when Oregon cut the gimmicky college crap they run, and Nix had to make some serious big boy throws, I have seen him make some big time, NFL caliber throws. Throwing guys open. Throwing with timing. Throwing with anticipation.
I’ll make some gifs of what I’m talking about eventually, whenever I have more time. But I have seen Nix complete passes that not every college QB prospect has the arm talent or brain to make.
Not to say the draft isn’t a crapshoot. He might be awful in the NFL.
