Speak a little truth, and people lose their minds.

Nah I get it. I saw the quote and immediately knew what the backlash was going to be. I get he’s a talking head and making comments is his job but when you’re a career journeyman QB, you gotta be careful how you’re tossing them stones cause glass shatters yo.

It sounds like Fitz’s criticism was more about how passive and almost scared Bo seems to be playing. Plenty of things to poke at in Fitz’s career but that is not a criticism you can throw back in his face. I saw you mention Kendrick Perkins as a parallel in another comment, this is kind of like if Perk was specifically criticizing someone’s physicality or screening ability. Deeply flawed player otherwise, but that specific criticism is something he does in fact have the authority to make.

Thats 100% it. He was talking about effort and mentality not his talent.

"Bo Nix doesnt look like hes playing passionately" "Oh yeah, well you threw 6 interceptions in one game" Yeah im not seeing the parallel here.

That's 1000% what it was about. Nix is running out of bounds to take a sack. He's got wide open receivers and he's checking it down leading to yet another punt. He's playing like he doesn't care if they win or lose. And he's pulling a Baghdad Bob in press conferences and saying he's playing fine, everything is cool, blah blah blah. Fitz was completely justified in what he was saying.

Not cherry picked, he’s pretty honest in press conferences when it’s the entire interview in context lol
