Rich Eisen on the Great Expectations for Denver Broncos Rookie QB Bo Nix | The Rich Eisen Show

Bo Nicks made a couple of very nice throws as well um in his in his time he's a starter I mean there's there there's there's really no reason in my mind for with unfortunately for Jared SDM or no matter how much um pton has been talking about Zack Wilson and and and approving of him there's no doubt in my mind Bo Knicks is going to be the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and and for them I can only hope this stops the the the carousel that's been turning ever since Super Bowl 50 over there you know I want to think about it if I could before you guys get to overaction Monday on Tuesday I just want to say that um you know just they aren't showing any signs of any hesitation I mean they're not like trying to push the envelope or force the issue it's like they can just carry that on for a full four quarters for a real game then they're gonna make some strides this season for sure well we'll see DK and thanks for the call we'll let you know if we're having any live audience folks um when we're in in um in in Kansas City so there were have been let's see here I'm looking at the leading passers for the Denver Broncos over the past in the seasons since pton Manning departed since Superbowl 50 there's one two three four five six different quarterbacks that led the Broncos in passing in the eight seasons since pton Manning went you'll never guess half of them I just pulled them up so I'm not going to guess Trevor Simeon did it twice Case Keenum once Joe flacko once Drew lock once Teddy Bridgewater once Russell twice and by the way the yardage totals are not impressive I mean not impressive to say the least Russell Wilson topped out at 3500 two years ago and even the year pton Manning won the Super Bowl his his his numbers weren't that eye popping as well well they weirdly won kind of in spite of him that year remember Brock Osweiler came in and won a bunch of games dude and then before Payton TBO Kyle Orton Jake Cutler Jake plumber Brian greasy those were the ones between Elway and Manning TBO had 1,700 passing yards in 2011 and was one of the most exhilarating quarterbacks I've seen in my 20 now two seasons when John Fox turned to him because Kyle Orton just couldn't it it just couldn't cut he got hurt and he just like he didn't want to go to TBO right you can't go to a quarterback who practices with the ball on the ground as much as TBO was was practicing from what I was told at the time they just couldn't do it but I've never seen anything like it the fourth quarter TBO Tom was real and TBO won a playoff game as Pittsburgh Steeler fans know the words out of Jim Nance's mouth describing the new playoff overtime rules on the CBS broadcast of that game all you got to do is watch that playoff game going into overtime it was the first playoff game using the new overtime rules that a field goal didn't cut it from the winning uh from the team that started overtime the other team had a chance to match he was explaining all of that and TBO found demarius Thomas right over the middle and it was over one of the many examples why the Patriots got a nice break in their run how was that their fault dude the Steelers would have been a much tougher opponent than next week you eviscerated as a matter of fact as a matter of fact you did John Elway the greatest favor because Elway was you could see like that game was he was kind of smiling 44 to 10 or something you know he was kind of like that homelander gif of just like looking you know like is is it okay to smile yeah you know do the people around me like what I've just done that's the way it looked 45 to 10 every time TBO scored Manning allow and then Payton Manning being available allowed Elway to pull off a bloodless coup of TBO Mania because people in Denver were not ready to move on from TBO at any rate this is what B knck is trying to stop a revolving door I'm trying to look the Manning led the the P the Broncos in passing four years in a row first guy to do that for Denver since Jake plumber did it but I mean they didn't win they they they they didn't win a playoff game my gosh after lway won a Super won the Super Bowl they didn't win a playoff game until um Manning arrived until TBO won that through that touchdown pass they lost in the Wild Card three three years and then lost a their um conference uh in in the uh I guess they they want they wanted divisional round game in 19 the mid90s the mid-s pardon me anyway long story short that's what Bo Knicks is trying to stop catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 12 to 3 Eastern for free
