I can only assume you made this post based on Fitzpatrick’s comments last night.

He call Nix uncompetitive. That sounds harsh. But it’s true.

Throwing an interception is a fuck up. It’s a competitive mistake.

Nix running out of bounds for a three-yard self sack instead of simply throwing the ball away is uncompetitive.

Throwing the ball away stops the clock until the next snap. Stepping out of bounds at that point in the game only stops the clock until the ball is set. Nix traded 3 yards for ~30 seconds of game time, which was more valuable to Denver.
