More generally, anyone who watched that game, and compared it with Wilson's performance last year, should notice that Nix tends to climb the pocket, rather than bailing out like Wilson did. That's a good thing. And I think the criticism in those tweets that Nix a few times climbed into pressure overlooks the general point that his technique and instincts are better than Wilson or other recent Denver QBs.
But as you know, my point was generally that it's a bit crazy to nitpick the performance to that extent.

This all boils down to "he said mean things about my rookie QB and that hurt my feels".
