Meh I wouldn't cut him but he does suck. I think Freddie Jackson would of had the same success on those run plays as Smith did... He didn't break a single big play at all last season. All we heard about was "he has big play potential and is a real weapon out there"... really? Smith is not a QB either. If Fitz and VY both got hurt, and he had to start - he would be the worst QB to start a game in the NFL in years if that happened. They would have to pick someone else up. But still, I wouldn't cut him since it doesn't make any sense. I do however think he really needs to earn his millions this year though.

It is still preseason, he hasn't taken a snap in a real football game yet... Neither has TJ.. There is nothing that we can compare at this point.

I think Fitz has the arm to throw deep but he doesn't really have great touch on his deep ball. Doesn't throw it out in front of his WRs enough for them to make a play on it. Still I'd rather him in there from VY.

Does anyone have a run down of games played vs money earned while with Buffalo??

Bad defense is still bad... linebackers are weak and corners too young/inexperienced. Dline can only do so much. Ryan Fitzpatrick is not a starting QB.

Now the talks of Merriman taking this defense to the "next level" can stop. I've said since he got to Buffalo that he was done. Give the younger guys a chance, less money and without the injuries.

they haven't been good in the regular season either in over a decade... so it is even sadder that they can't even look good even when the games don't count.

We will know at the end of this season that Fitz was battling through a rib injury sustained early in the first preseason game..... No worries guys he has a beard!

I think you mean Thigpen... if so I agree 100%.

This team makes every opposing QB look like a stud... Ponder with a 135 rating. Blah blah it's only preseason.... happened a lot last year... and the decade before as well.

I agree, stop going for "situation evaluation" just coach the damn game like you should.

competing for the top spot in the division, right you guys?

Luck is about as sure a thing as you are ever going to get out of the Draft. He should never be mentioned with Ryan Leaf... Also, Cassel didn't lead the Pats to the playoffs they missed that year he played. And to the OPs question, I would absolutely trade any 3 players for him off this team.. Some of you guys are way over valuing the players on this team.. They haven't made the playoffs ever and are as unproven as Luck is for the most part with the young guys...

Merriman is basically a good locker room guy and recruiter at this point of his career. I don't have high expectations for him this year. If he makes it to the bye week i'll be impressed.

Who will have a better season this yr RGIII or Fitz? I'd vote for RGIII.

The Pats will be no where near 8-8. Brady has a very quick release so I think the O-line issues are somewhat overblown. They drafted well and we will have to wait and see if those guys make a difference just like every other team in the league. They were in the Superbowl last year and have the best TE in the league. Brady is still in his prime and QB is the most important position in the game... I don't really understand everyone expecting them to just drop off. They have owned this division for a decade and someone is going to have a dethrone them for me to bet against them. 11-5 at worst but I'd call 12-4.

Because they will.

10-6 while clinching a Wild Card Spot.

I just really think he needs to be better..

I like your optimism but they still haven't played a single down yet... We still are the worst team in the division until we prove it otherwise on the field. Don't you remember the Eagles won the Superbowl in last year's off-season.... they didn't make the playoffs.

Building the D is something I can't argue with. There is a lot of OT and WR depth in rounds 2-3 if that's what they're after next. We couldn't cover anyone last year!!

Some of you guys will find anything to complain about... half this board should be on suicide watch.

They're actually picking guys where they should and people are complaining. Kalil was the only guy I wanted them to trade up for and get but the Vikes wanted him. I also don't understand wanting to trade back for more picks, they already have 10 picks in this draft. They should be able to acquire a lot of depth and some starters. This team couldn't cover for Sh*t last year. Mckelvin is done, Florence was pretty bad, and Mcgee can't stay healthy anymore. Gilmore and Williams will be the future back there.

Still have to see if the D really improves... they were a terrible unit last year. Ya some player upgrades but how much will that affect how well they play? Also does Fitzpatrick continue his free fall after his hot start last season. He hasn't been anything but average over his 7 year career. Why will next year be different? Some of you see a different QB than I do. Yea he is smart... so what, smart doesn't make you a good QB, it's important but there are so many other aspects to being a good QB. He is lacking on a lot of them. Let's see it on the field...

uh link for deal to Rams?
