What happened: Will Colon said Bo Nix helps the Denver Broncos win but that they do not win because of him. Denver had Nix on a normal practice workload in late July after sitting him for its preseason opener.

Why it matters: That is a fair standard for a third-year starting quarterback. Nix landed at No. 59 on the NFL Top 100 list, but a ranking does not settle whether he can drive wins when Denver needs him to create offense.
