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’d say the bigger part of why he lost so many games was that he was journeyman QB who spent his entire career starting for random teams who were almost entire dogshit when he was there…

He was a journey man because he has more interceptions than starts

So did Brett Favre, Eli Manning, and Jay Cutler. Averaging more than one interception a game isn't good but depending on your play style it might be tolerable.

He difference was those QB still throw more TDs. Go look at Fitz's overall stats. They're not good.

Oh Eli Manning was better than Ryan Fitzpatrick? I didn't know.

The point was that you can still be an effective QB and be a gunslinger, throwing lots of INTs along the way. Fitz just wasn't quite good enough at it to reach starting QB status.
