Calling a QB a gamer usually Seems to imply he tries hard but just doesn't have it. I'd never call Allen, Mahomes, and other elite QBs gamers. It's a given. 

Yeah Fitzpatrick was a gamer…. It’s implies overachieving

Did he really think he was going to get away and get 16 yards?  I think Pitts should put Tribuski back in and see if he can light a spark.  Miami probably didnt prepare for him.

On that play I think he was trying to escape and find a window to throw he just couldn't get away.

That 9 point lead would have been enough 

That was a horrible call to go for it.

Neither team wants to win it seems

I’ll give Tua props for going for it. But probably not his best move

I agree, but the question being discussed is why Collinsworth has this deep level of Tua love that precludes him even commenting on the interceptions Tua is trying to throw, and the Steelers are refusing to accept delivery of

Imagine if Josh played like this. He’s be crucified ‘ see can’t fix accuracy’ blah blah

Tua...what are you doing?

being a half inch from ending his career.

Najee with a rare run for more than 3 yards

Pickett really sucks. You never want to pull a rookie QB after making the switch to him, but for the good of the team they have to. Every snap he is thinking check down or immediately tuck and run. You can live with a young QB taking too many chances. A young QB doing the opposite gives you nothing to build on.

Pickett is a gamer.

Well since the Dolphins are leading by 6 points, if the Steelers don’t score…..

Tua making his own secret sauce drink there on the sideline?

He's done the same thing in every game I have watched this year...he threw a pick 6 to Milano that he dropped

Rinsing with mouthwash?

[BuffaloBills1998]

If I was McDaniel I would’ve went for it. Punting it away was a stupid call

[boyst]

I haven't kept up but we are all criticizing Tua's head first dives and his runs, right?

I thought he was going to be carted off as he was running.

One thing in Tomlin’s long career he’s not dealt with is how to introduce a young qb into the league. Agree, they transitioned too soon and Mitch was actually good in their last game
