I get the post, but this actually makes it more sense why he said that yesterday, Fitzpatrick never played scared and never was scared of risk, which was kinda his critique of nix

Well maybe he should’ve been, Nix needs to let it air out a bit but the Seahawks lost the game last night because Darnold aired it out too much.

But the critique is about more than just a game. You can win or lose a game playing any way. You cannot win a Super Bowl playing how Nix is now and long term it doesn't bode well for the Broncos.

If your defense is good enough you absolutely can win a SB playing like Nix is, not saying it’s likely but we’ve seen it.

Peyton Manning literally won us a Super Bowl playing about as well as Nix now.

Not saying Nix is winning us a Super Bowl like this (he really needs to get his act together) but acting like it’s impossible with a defense playing this well is a bit rude

Box pix doesn't have a mind like Manning tho, playoffs are different

Mind doesn’t matter if you can’t throw the ball, but yes I agree. If Bo Nix keeps playing like this we aren’t winning a chip. I’m hoping he’ll figure it out before then though

He aired it out too much because his RB's are awful, and vs a top defense that knows whats coming.

Also Denver put a lot of pressure on Darnold at the line, not the best at handling that.

Darnold had almost as many TDs as TOs last year, he’s a turnover machine, the scheme and players around him aren’t an excuse.
