The Denver Broncos' offense has struggled through the first four weeks, and the reason has been difficult to pinpoint. Blame has been placed on Sean Payton, Davis Webb, Bo Nix and the supporting cast, with no single issue explaining Denver's problems.

Some flashes have been shown, but consistency has been missing. Only 13 first-half points have been scored through four games, while the Broncos were held to 14 points in their Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Nix finished that defeat with 214 passing yards and a touchdown, but Denver's offense was unable to find much rhythm. With questions continuing to be raised, another potential problem has now been highlighted by Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner.

Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Warner pointed toward Nix's impatience. He explained that Nix often wants to move when he reaches the top of his drop rather than allowing the play to develop.

"This is something that I've seen with Bo really throughout his career. He's a guy that when he gets the top of his drop, he wants to move. He wants to create, he wants to throw on the run. He feels more comfortable there."

Warner believes that impatience has caused opportunities within the structure of plays to be missed. For Denver's coaching staff, getting Nix to settle down earlier in games could therefore become an important priority.

Bo Nix and the Broncos' Slow Starts Continue to Raise Questions

The concerns have been amplified following the 49ers loss. Nix has acknowledged that improvements are needed, while the Broncos continue to search for a way to start games with more consistency.

Warner's assessment adds another possible explanation to the growing list. If Nix can become more patient within the offense, more opportunities could be created without major changes to the scheme.

For now, the responsibility remains shared. But if Nix's impatience can be addressed, Denver could finally begin getting more from an offense that has shown flashes without finding sustained success.
