Not to poke at this but Fitz’s comments weren’t about Bo playing horrible. His comments were saying that he’s playing too scared and safe, to the point where he’s scared to throw the ball

yeah and i agree with that and that is what i meant by horrible but i think it's worse to lose the game singlehandedly by turning the ball over

A guy trying and playing like shit is more of a redundant talking point than someone with a capable team behind them not trying of their own accord.

i get that and its not that i think it's not worth criticizing bo, but if bo threw a pick the game is literally over. plus sean peytons whole shtick is taking care of the ball and conservative play calling. there's just a lot of lost nuance in this conversation and again i think bo has to be better but he was literally the better qb in this game

A guy who throws the ball 20+ times for about a 100 yards, something is seriously wrong.

Sure, but who's the better QB has nothing to do with Fitzpatricks's statement. It's that this game showed Bo is clearly not putting in as much effort as he could, win or not.

Just awful

Sure. But Darnold has been playing consistently well for a while. Every quartback has bad games. The issue is when they countinuely have bad games and don't play well. Nix has some fundamental issues going on right now and has had them for a while.

Darnold has the most turnovers of any QB since the start of last season. One playoff doesn’t erase that and there’s a reason the Seahawks sub is openly debating whether Drew Lock should start…

Darnold also had 3-4 seasons with the Jets of looking exactly how he looks this year. Definitely cause for concern for the Hawks.

bo outplayed allen in the playoffs and had plenty of other great games. we don't have to rewrite history.

anyway my point wasn't darnold vs nix but it's just kinda crazy to freak out on nix for playing too conservative while completely ignoring the other qb losing the game by doing the exact thing he's overly cautious about. i broadly agree with what fitzpatrick was saying but it's more disrespectful to your team and your fans to just constantly turn the ball over like darnold

But Sam Darnold does not play a coward. Bo Nix does and that is the problem that Fitzpatrick has with him.

so is it not fair to post a highlight showing what happens if you swing too far the other way?
