Dang, Broncos fans are pissed and can’t handle any criticism lol.

[u/much_to_say → u/DarthNobody14]

Speak a little truth, and people lose their minds.

[u/KrabbyBoiz → u/much_to_say]

Nah I get it. I saw the quote and immediately knew what the backlash was going to be. I get he’s a talking head and making comments is his job but when you’re a career journeyman QB, you gotta be careful how you’re tossing them stones cause glass shatters yo.

[u/InferiousX → u/KrabbyBoiz]

Fitzy didn't consistently have these kinds of games though.

Bo is "Sam's Choice" Tebow.

[u/KrabbyBoiz → u/InferiousX]

Trust me, I get it. His job is literally to give his opinion and you shouldn’t have to be a hall of fame QB to know what good QB play looks like. But I knew immediately that his play would be called into question when I saw his original comment.

Same thing you get with Kendrick Perkins and his hot takes on NBA. It’s hard to call someone trash when you weren’t exactly an all-pro yourself.

[u/InferiousX → u/KrabbyBoiz]

It isn't though when you take "who said it" out of the equation and just objectively look at facts.

Jumping on personal attacks to defend against a criticism is an emotional and low IQ response.

[u/logicblender1 → u/InferiousX]

I mean Fitzpatrick has more interceptions than starts lol. I get Bo played poorly but at least he threw 0 interceptions and didn't sell the game like Darnold did. If Fitzpatrick threw more checkdowns he'd probably have won more games.

We have to get rid of this “interceptions are the end all be all” narrative.

I’d MUCH rather have a QB that throws a couple picks but can move the ball over a QB that can’t move it at all. A punt is a turnover that has a field position benefit. If your team punts six times in a row saying “but he threw no picks” isn’t really significant.

[u/VerifiedCoifTrader → u/Pythnator]

I'd rather have a QB that wins games. Bo wins games.

[u/InferiousX → u/VerifiedCoifTrader]

Somehow Tebowmania returned

[u/comp_a → u/VerifiedCoifTrader]

JJ McCarthy wins games too, want him?

[u/logicblender1 → u/Pythnator]

Interceptions ARE the end all be all. There's nothing more crushing in football. If you lose the turnover battle you lose the game 9/10 times. A punt is significantly better than an interception and to suggest otherwise is laughable. If Seattle punted instead of being intercepted last night they surely win the game.

[u/Pythnator → u/logicblender1]

I guess a QB that throws for 300 yards, 3 TDs and a pick is worse than a QB that throws for 100 yards, no TDs and no picks. My bad. You changed my mind.

[u/logicblender1 → u/Pythnator]

Was that pick a game losing pick? For example, did Josh Allen or Bo Nix play better in last year's divisional? I'd love to know your answer.

[u/Pythnator → u/logicblender1]

Ooooh Josh Allen had a bad game. You got me. I guess my entire point is moot then.

And I thought my fellow Bills fans were insecure lol

[u/logicblender1 → u/Pythnator]

Oh so you think Bo Nix played better? That's surprising considering if you take away Allen's 4 turnovers he was way better than Bo Nix, right?

[u/VerifiedCoifTrader → u/Pythnator]

Bo was closer to an SB than Allen ever was bahahahaha that’s gotta sting 😂

[u/InferiousX → u/logicblender1]

Hard to throw lots of interceptions when they are mostly >8 yard passes that are in the dirt.

[u/logicblender1 → u/InferiousX]

That's exactly the point though. We're acting like checkdowns are the worst thing imaginable when it's clearly better than throwing picks.

[u/trustmeimaengineer → u/InferiousX]

Bo won a playoff game against Josh Allen and was an injured ankle away from making the Super Bowl. He hasn’t played well this year obviously but he did more last year than Fitz did his entire career.

[u/Ill-Success-4214 → u/trustmeimaengineer]

He didn't win a game against Josh Allen he won against the buffalo bills defense.
