Do The BEST NFL QBs need to be BORING? Should Bo Nix be judged the same way as Caleb Williams?

Stokley and Evans break down what Broncos QB Bo Nix must do to take the next step — and their answer is surprisingly simple: be boring. They argue great quarterbacks spend 70% of their snaps doing the boring, efficient, on‑schedule things that keep an offense moving.

This debate heats up after Mark Schlereth said Caleb Williams wasn’t good because he wasn’t “boring.” Mike Evans pushes back, asking whether Bo Nix should be judged the same way. Stokley argues both young QBs are succeeding while developing — and that’s what matters.
