And the reason top-tier draft picks go to the Browns and develop psychological complexes and career ending injuries is because they go to teams that don’t block.

I get that Nix isn’t perfect. I don’t expect perfect play at the college level. We just fired a coach because linemen wouldn’t commit to play for him.

Can he get a season’s worth of reps with an average offensive line before we discount him?

I'm well aware that it's very possible that his internal clock is fundamentally broken from years of poor protection (although I'd like to remind you that he played the exact same way in HS - just running around on every snap with zero restraint).

But if that's the case, then you understand that he has no business being relied upon to start, right? This isn't the "everyone gets a trophy" league. We don't have 4 seasons to hope and pray that "golly-gee, if all the pieces around him are PERFECT, perhaps he'll be a good QB!".

If Gus Malzahn ruined him permanently, then I feel bad for his poor luck, but that doesn't mean that you trot him out for 4 seasons under the pretense that what - he might improve? Do some of ya'll understand that Oklahoma is benching Spencer Rattler, who came into this season as the #1 QB on basically every NFL Draft board? But Bo Nix with his 2.5 years of ~57% completion percentage is entitled to MORE TIME?

I've said this a million times by nowe: the only reason why you're willing to give him this infinite leash is because of who his father is. If this was "Bo Taylor" you would have asked for him to never see the field 1.5 seasons ago, and definitely not after last season.
