  1. Everybody keeps saying Fitz is a career backup at best, when trent only got the job bc losman sucked, then lost the job bc he himself sucked and got hurt. Not to mention Brohm has only been above a practice squad player due to injury. So how is Fitz any different from those three?

     

    Do I agree Brohm and Trent have more upside bc of their skills? yes. Does that mean they are the right guy for the job? No, they have proven nothing. This race is a total toss up, i just want to make sure that fans realize Fitz has as good a shot as anyone.

     

     

    The off-season is a time of hope. There are fans and media from every team, Lions and Saints alike, who are talking about the potential of their draft picks, the development of their young players, better luck with injuries, tweaks to improve their offense/defense, etc.

     

    For this reason, the off-season hype is focused around the players with more upside. Per your own statement, Brohm and Edwards appear to have more upside.

     

    Is it a reasonable idea that Fitzpatrick starts? Yes.

     

    The problem is that a focus on Fitz being the starter will ruin the hype of maximizing on our potential. Officially, the QB competition is still open, and he's still sharing reps. There's no need to burst the optimism bubble when we haven't even made it to preseason.

  2. If Roscoe could consistently throw for over 30 yards plus to make the D honest, then i would consider your idea Hossage.

     

    For what its worth, he did play QB in high school. http://hurricanesports.cstv.com/sports/m-f...h_roscoe00.html

     

    ...was perhaps the most explosive running and passing quarterback in Florida during the 2000 season, passing for 2,201 yards and rushing for 613 yards...a first-team Class 6A selection in 2000...during his junior season of 1999, passed for 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns with just five interceptions while completing 78 of 136 passes...
  3. Unreal expectations. If you're gonna bash the Bills for not finding you another Bruce Smith, then carry your rant to the whole NFL. 1st Time HOF'ers are a once in a generation-type player, at best. No one like Bruce has entered the league since.

     

    I'll take another 'Hanson' everyday, thank you.

     

     

    This.

     

    Many bad things can be said about our front office of recent years, but the criticism should stop short of not drafting another Bruce Smith.

  4. TE puts together a successful drive, runs a bootleg right from the 5 yard line, and dives head-first for a TD in an effort to rally the players and be a leader. He is injured on the play, leading to questions about his durability and skill drop-off after the injury. This fans the flames of a quarterback controversy that continues for the rest of the season.

     

    I figure I'm always wrong, so if I guess my worst-case scenario it can't possibly come true. :lol:
