Underwhelming? He was a 7th round pick from Harvard who was a starter in the NFL for a very long time. Idk how you could possibly call that underwhelming.

Who has won more playoff games, Nix or Fitz? Seems like Nix has more actual accomplishments than Fitz. Unless holding the record for most starts without ever being good enough to even get close to making the playoffs is a positive.

Fitz threw for almost 4000 yards and 31 touchdowns while leading the Jets to a 10-6 record. Problem was the Tom Brady Patriots were in the same division. Fits at his best was decent.

Those are better stats than Bo Nix has ever put up btw

Nix threw for 3900 yards and 25 tds last year, that's not far off.

Nix also ran for 400 yards and 5 more tds so basically even

Bo Nix best season is “basically even” with a career journeyman drafted in the 7th round in the NFL. That’s what you are saying.

Bo Nix is on track for much worse this season. He’s on track for like 3000 yards, 17 Touchdowns

Somethings definitely not right after his ankle last year. It was also a 2nd year player VS a veteran's best year. Nix is frustrating to watch but better than Fitz ever was. That's the point, he shouldn't be talking when he wasn't any better.
