Grading Bo Nix through 9 games as Broncos enter their bye week

There may not be a more polarizing quarterback in the NFL right now than Bo Nix. At least to some degree, it feels like the general perception of Nix is that he's a bad quarterback. Let's just call it what it is.

But many Broncos fans are like Aragorn at the Black Gate in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, ready to take on the entire army of Mordor for their quarterback. Part of the defense of Nix comes from a place of fandom, but part of it also comes from seeing this guy lead 16 game-winning drives in his career.

That much winning doesn't just fall into someone's lap. Nix has the "it" factor.

So how does he actually grade heading into the team's Week 10 bye week?
