1) I don't put their lack of playoff appearances/success on Herbert. They have been atrocious defensively during his time there. They scored 30 (granted, they **** the bed offensively in the second half) in their only playoff game and lost. I think he's a top 5 QB in this league, top 8 for sure.
2) I think Nix's numbers improvements are due to a lot of things (him being better/more experienced, playing worse defenses on a weekly basis, better system fit). Just because his numbers were better in a system doesn't mean the system is not relevant to what he can do in the NFL. As I said, they're running pretty much what everyone in college is running. This isn't some unique system like Leach's TT teams or the service academies. They're running "pro-style" run schemes and pass concepts, like most everyone.
3) No, I don't think Bo Nix is going to be some really good NFL QB. I, however, don't blame the Broncos for trying. You have to try till you get it right.
