Justin Reid made a bold claim about the current best quarterback in the NFL on Thursday. In his appearance “Up & Adams,” the New Orleans Saints safety named Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix as the best in his position, ahead of the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
“My opinion would have been Bo Nix honestly,” Reid said. “Bo Nix going down, just because I like Bo Nix. Josh, I love Josh. It’s just a political. But Bo with Sean Payton, they just – I don’t know. He’s young, he’s made a ton of mistakes but I thought that he had a super high ceiling.”
However, Justin Reid changed tune about his take on the discussion after Kay Adams posted the moment on social media. He claimed not to have a full understanding of the context.

“I thought we were talking about about QBs currently in the playoffs when this question was asked (Ik Bo is hurt) but screw it – might as well stand my ground on this 😂,” Reid wrote.

Nonetheless, Adams clarified that the scenario presented was clear enough. It involved every other quarterback in the league rather than those currently competing in the playoffs.
“Justin 😂 I said Josh and Patrick neither are still in,” Adams wrote.

Justin Reid admitted to Kay Adams’ clarification and went on to stand his ground on it despite attempting to change tune earlier.
“True!! You know what, I’m doubling down on my original take,” Reid said.

Justin Reid explains why he picked Bo Nix
Speaking during his appearance on “Up & Adams,” Justin Reid explained why he picked Bo Nix as the best quarterback in the NFL over other elite players in the position. The safety believes the quarterback’s impact, tied to his team’s result on the field, is crucial.
“Let’s take a look at the biggest prototypical big dogs that we have,” Reid said while defending his take. “So Patrick, it was a down year for the Chiefs … That does not mean he’s not the best quarterback.
“There’s always this conversation: Do you tie quarterback play to production and team wins? Or do you tie quarterback play purely to how that quarterback did? Because to me they’re related. Like how the team performs as a whole is related.”
Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 14-3 finish in the regular season, securing the AFC No. 1 seed. He also played a crucial role in the team’s 33-30 win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. Sidelined with an ankle injury, Nix will miss the rest of the season, leaving the Broncos Super Bowl hopes hanging in the balance.
