Ex-Broncos Pro Bowler Slams Ryan Fitzpatrick for What He Said About Bo Nix
The former Harvard product played on 9 different teams in his 17 years in the NFL, but, hey, he did score high on the Wonderlic.
Following a hard-fought overtime victory against the Seattle Seahawks, former Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix received pointed criticism from a colleague, Ryan Fitzpatrick. While the game saw Nix throw for 107 yards on 27 pass attempts and suffer two sacks, the ex-quarterback deemed his performance lacking competitive fire. Fitzpatrick observed Nix's hesitancy in throwing the ball, stating that it was "almost disrespectful to the quarterback position."
He also highlighted Nix's lack of trust from his coach and poor decision-making, such as throwing away a third-and-8 screen play. Fitzpatrick further accused Nix of lacking passion and taking his leadership role for granted. Former NFL cornerback Aqib Talib vehemently defended Nix, pointing out his extensive NFL career, including stints with 9 different teams in 17 years.
Talib argued that Nix's struggles are a reminder of the high bar expected of a quarterback and that Fitzpatrick's assessment was both disrespectful and unwarranted.
