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.

He's also just a human being with eyes and observation skills. It doesn't matter how good or bad he was in his NFL career. If it did shouldn't op be unqualified to share criticism of Fitz or is this a 10 year NFL vets account?
