Fans and pundits continue to pile on Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix ahead of his third season in the NFL.
Earlier this offseason, Pro Football Focus ranked Nix 19th out of 32 projected starters (the same spot they ranked him in 2025). More recently, fans mocked the NFL Top 100 list for ranking Nix above Lamar Jackson following their respective 2025 campaigns.
The latest criticism comes from Garrett Podell of CBS Sports, who ranked Nix among the most overrated quarterbacks in the NFL, alongside Caleb Williams and Baker Mayfield.
"The young quarterback's lumps directly led to Denver struggling to consistently drive the football down the field," Podell wrote for CBS Sports. "Three of the top four teams with the most punts in the 2025 regular season
-- the Browns (93), Titans (78) and Raiders (74) -- missed the playoffs and fired their respective head coaches. The fourth team in that group is Nix's Broncos, with 75 punts. He benefits from a strong offensive line and a strong defense."
There's no denying that Nix has his weaknesses, and he certainly benefits from a great line and defense. But the 26-year-old quarterback has also proven himself as a clutch QB, leading 10 game-winning drives through his first two seasons. It's up for debate whether or not Nix should be ranked among the league's top quarterbacks, but to suggest he's one of the most overrated QBs in the league feels a bit harsh.
