Due to our need for a LT, DE, DT, OLB, the Bills should draft a mid-round QB with "Brady" like intangibles and give Fitzpatrick 10 games in '11. Let's assume Fitz stays healthy but we manage 4 wins or less after 10 games. At that point put in the rookie. If Fitz goes .500 or better than allow him to fail. Once we are mathmatically eliminated I think you insert the rookie for the last 6 games or whenever we are out. Let's assume the rookie plays like Jimmy Clausen and we finish in the running again for Andrew Luck. We all know a team is built around the QB position. If we need to hit rock bottom in the 2011 season than I say do it. I am a Fitz fan, I think he could benefit from a better line, and a real TE. I think like a baseball pitcher he could work on the location of his pitches by excercising his arm and perfecting his technique in the offseason. While Fitz has a career 57% completion percentage the slightest improvement could mean the difference between 4-12 in '10 & 9-7 in '11, thus allowing him not to be Luck's mentor in 2012.
