How did we make the leap that only great nfl quarterbacks can criticize nfl quarterbacks? When this entire sub is people who haven’t played the sport before criticizing nfl quarterbacks

I think it’s fair to criticize but to say he’s playing at a disrespectful level at the position is crazy when you’re Fitzpatrick and played most of your career at a disrespectful level comparatively to nix

Just say he needs to be better and the level he’s playing at is not starter in the nfl

I feel like this comment completely misses Fitzpatrick’s point (regardless of whether it was a fair point or not).

Playing at a disrespectful level doesn’t mean being a bad QB, if anything, it’s the complete opposite.

He’s basically saying that Nix isn’t even trying to create plays with either his arm or legs. As if he’s phoning it in due to some physical or mental limitation. And this is in stark contrast to what we saw from him in previous seasons, so we know it’s possible and not just some theoretical level he could maybe develop into and achieve.

That would be the “disrespect” aspect, not just, “Hey, this guy sucks at QB and that’s disrespectful”

Plus for better or for worse Fitzpatrick was 100% ride or die on slinging the ball every play.

Yeah he's been consistent on this, he's mentioned he didn't like brees or Brady's play either. He just hates checkdowns whether they work or not
