This feels oddly targeted at Brandon Perna, Thattsgoodsports, and his half joking Bolieve jokes/song. Personally I've enjoyed starting Bo on my fantasy team as Mahomes has mostly underperformed him (fantasy wise at least) since picking him up.
Yeah the Geno discourse is definitely weird. It’s this radicalized two sides where he’s either terrible or amazing and nobody just admits he’s clearly in between
Weird? No one but Sean Peyton saw this coming. If you think weird is playoffs during a rebuilding year, then it's weird. Lots of good offensive rookies this year, and the last few weeks, Bo has been the best of them. Is it too late to change my blue sky handle to Boliever?
I'm saying that fans can get weirdly defensive coz many national pundits talk out of both sides of their mouths when talking about QBs rather than contextualizing it
And I think that frustration leads to folks being over defensive even when rationale is applied
As a 49ers fan, yes it was. I didn't like that he seemed to be graded on a different curve than other QBs. Like he was the first QB to ever have good skill players so it didn't count.
IDK what's going on this year because he's statistically still great, but it hasn't looked right all year.
I think Justin Fields occupied that space last year, but that may have just been a Bears fan issue debating him vs Williams (which was and remains a nonsense debate). Was exceedingly aggravating reading articles acting as if every week was a referendum on his future.
The QB has played well, in a situation that is better than some thought, behind a line that has been excellent in pass pro, for a coach that clearly still has his fastball. There is no grand conspiracy to discredit him at work. Everyone just take a breath.
Not comparing the two or projecting Nix's future at all, but his season reminds me of Mac Jones' as a rookie in terms of solid stats, strong coaching, and game management.
I think Nix is has more physical talent, but any rush to anoint him over the guys who went ahead is misguided at this point.
What is hilarious is that your list has the Philip Lindsay hyperbole, but 2020 was the year where WR Kendall Hinton started a game vs New Orleans so you almost undersold how desperate they've been 😅
It was a joke, but he’s also had two extra years in college over Caleb, so it’s not surprising he’s finding earlier success under a renowned offensive coach.

His name alone is tearing the fanbase apart. It’s exhausting
I don’t think this gets much weirder
Eg ‘Bo’s done okay, but look at the situation he’s in ‘ vs ‘Caleb needs a better situation with playcalling etc to get playing well’
Is he him? Far, far too early to say. Same with Caleb. But Nix is playing solidly in his situation
That's all he can do

I think.

I bet he wins a playoff game before the media darling Herbert.
“I don’t give a fuck. His name was Mike”

Kidding, I’m a Patriots fan. We might be the ones to get weird about Maye next year, just to warn you in advance

ONE SEASON !
I dare anyone to name the colleges these QBs came from without searching on the Googs.
2) Florida then he transferred (I think but forget where)
3) I want to guess a MAC school, but Idk
4) Colorado
2) ✓ / friggin' LA Tech
3) As soon as I typed in his name, it hit me — Boise St
4) ✓
LOL in general it is hard to state all of the insane QB shenanigans for the broncos AND accept John Elway is one of the top 5 QBs in NFL History.
The juxtaposition is cra cra
