re: Sean Paytons arrogance has doomed the Broncos

Nix kept getting some comparisons to Brees pre draft and I don't get that at all. Maybe it's the ability to process information but as far as passing the football they're not even close at the college level. Brees was chucking it all over the yard while Nix had a bunch of short passes turned into long gains by the receiver. Occasionally he would let a deep ball rip and hit it but just not nearly as often as Brees.

As for coach Payton, he definitely held the players to a high standard and I think he commanded more respect than Dennis does but you're right he would make some bone-headed decisions he wasn't perfect.

A pet peeve of mine was that he burned timeouts just to get the perfect play in. DA at least hold on to the timeouts until the end of the game usually.
