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.
