DiNucci posted on his official X account, suggesting that Nix looks disinterested and like there are many other places he would rather be than on the football field each week. He added that while he’s a Broncos fan and wishes the team well, he would rather watch paint dry than watch their offense operate.
In that game, Nix completed 17 of 27 pass attempts for 107 yards—the second-lowest receiving yardage of his career in a single game.
Analysts weighed in on Nix’s performance as well. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky described Nix as a quarterback who appears reluctant to take the football, particularly during high-pressure moments, and suggested that Nix may be avoiding the ball to dodge accountability.
This topic has sparked widespread discussion among fans and commentators about Nix’s development and leadership in the Broncos’ offense.
