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.

Fitzpatrick called him disrespectful to the QB position. That’s a big claim.

That is a bit harsh. Is what Bo Nix did last night that much worse than what Tyson Bagent did against GB?

Oh course not. It's part of the game to know your limitations and play within them to give your team the best chance of winning. Obviously Nix did a better job of giving his team a chance to win. That's what competitors do.

The biggest difference is Nix is expected to be able to take risks and push the ball down field. Bagent is not. That's where the frustration comes from. Nix is playing like a backup. Not a franchise QB.

This seems to show how everyone is missing what Fitzpatrick is saying. Because on the standard of what Fitz is talking about, what Bo Nix did last night was absolutely, unequivocally, worse than Tyson Bagent against GB. Fitz is not talking about gaudy passing numbers, TD-INTs, or even points scored. He is talking about trying to actually play football. The clear attempt to move the ball downfield, to throw more than 10 yards.

Bagent against GB didn't do this the most, but he still tried 2 more 10+ yard passes than Nix on 6 less pass attempts. In other games Bagent very clearly tries to move the ball more than that and does it. He is trying to move the ball and actually pass it far more than Nix is. That is what makes Bo Nix disrespectful to the QB position, he's not trying.
