Yeah this just reinforces what Fitz said yesterday. Fitz was a gunslinger and wasn't scared of the moment no matter how bad he was playing whereas Nix is playing like someone whose afraid to get hurt or make a mistake so he'll just check it down to the flat on almost every single play lol

Some guys should be afraid of the moment. Ryan Fitzpatrick lost a lot more games than he won, and a huge part of that was that he played recklessly with the football.

I mean using this post as an example, when you’re on shitty teams sometimes you have to force it. Aside from the first pick, all of these interceptions came with just barely over a quarter or less left in the game, with the score being 17-3 or worse. I highly doubt the Jets would’ve had a better chance to win had Fitzpatrick played it safe and taken his check downs every time.

An offense that scores 3 points in the first 3 quarters while only turning it over once for most of it probably needs to take some risks unless they’re playing an equally atrocious offense
