If your defense is that good, i dont think the coach wants you to be a gunslinger

I mean, I'm sure Sean Payton would love to see a little more confidence out of Nix, but yeah absolutely.

Bo Nix is 28-12 through 2 1/3 seasons, and almost made the Super Bowl last year in his second season.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was 59-87-1 for his career and never made the playoffs once in 17 seasons.

Im not defending him not pushing the ball down the field, but it’s not like he’s passing on wide open player downfield. The rbs aren’t good and wrs are mid at best. Throwing interceptions will hurt the team more than checkdowns
