Fitz has been playing like a really good backup.
QB is not our biggest weakness right now.
But Fitz obviously isn't the answer.
His stat-line reads really well, but it heavily back loaded during "garbage time."
vs. JAX
Under 3 minutes to play:
5/6 for 66 yards, 1 TD
vs. NYJ, down 38-7 in the 4th
4 of 6 for 51 yards, 1 TD
vs. NE, down 38-23 later in the 4th
4 of 5 for 70 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
For a total of:
13/17 (76.5%) for 187 yards (11.0 ypa), 3 TD and 1 INT
You also have to realize that these teams are all playing in the prevent defense at this point in the game, not to give up the huge play(s).
So without garbage time, Fitz is:
39/68 (57.4%) for 408 yards (6.0 ypa), 4 TD and 1 INT
--------------------------------
With that being said, I am behind Fitz right now still...not our biggest problem, but still - inflated stats.
