'It’s been exactly what we saw,' Sean Payton very happy with what he’s seeing in Bo Nix after cold relationship with Russell Wilson last year

It appears head coach Sean Payton has found his quarterback of dreams as the Denver Broncos got its first exposure with first-round picked Bo Nix, potentially in the lead. Over the past couple of seasons, the franchise struggled a lot with the quarterback play and now finally as they moved on, they bet their odds on Nix from Oregon Ducks. 

After everything that happened between Payton and former quarterback Russell Wilson, who has now moved to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver fans had lost hope of getting a good head coach-quarterback pairing. But seeing the way Payton is talking about Nix, there seems to be hope. 

While talking to the reporters on Saturday, head coach Payton sounded confident in Nix’s ability to lead the offense. When asked whether there was anything about the rookie quarterback that impressed him, Payton recalled the private workout with him, saying he was bigger than the Broncos had expected, otherwise “it’s been exactly what we saw.” 

Payton said.

He had two or three down-the-field throws today. It’s almost like watching a good golfer. Sometimes when you watch his game over two years, there’s a patience to how he plays. The ball comes out, and — I don’t want to use the term ‘boring,’ that’s not the right term, but [he makes] pretty good decisions. With each play, the efficiency of how he’s operating, and all of that. Sean Payton said
