Another Point of View Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Some will say no arm strength.... * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwlUnoJ3bxo Some will say,he can't read a defense, not true. Actually this is his best quality Not big Enough? Doesn't have a cool name like TIM TEBOW? Throws to many INT'S, hardly Runs well, never takes a bad sack, certainly not injury prone...... Ok, so what is it? Edited September 21, 2010 by Another Point of View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If you define success as playoffs then he will fail but he should be better than Edwards, however small the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timba Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 OK, he needs to work on that. Don't get me wrong though. He's going to make things interesting. I think the Bills are better on offense with Fitzpatrick behind this line. He has more of an ability to make something out of nothing than Edwards, and that's what is currently needed.

I think he is a border line starter in the NFL, if he impoves he could be the answer, if not, a career backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobChalmers Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 He lacks consistency and accuracy. And ACCURACY is the NUMBER ONE qualifier for an NFL QB. Unless Fitz has improved his accuracy dramatically since last year, he is no better than a bad backup. Trent doesn't force the ball or have the right pocket sense to handle this OL, but Fitz frequently just plain misses the target, even when it's to a wide-open player - not that we've got many of those. He may do well if he's better at audibling out of bad plays - something it seemed (though hard to tell from our position as fans) like Trent wasn't doing well enough in pre-snap reads to get out of bad situations - or hang tough when the blitz wasn't on, for that matter.

BuffaloBaumer Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 He has pretty much already failed if your are looking to be a starter in this league. All the props in the world for hanging around and getting paid but come one, this guy better not be the answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 1. He couldn't even beat out Trent Edwards. 2. His offensive line is the same one we saw last week 3. He doesn't have much in the way of receivers 4. The coaches apparently don't know how to use the running game to take the pressure off. 5. The defense can't get him on the field to play. (time of possession) 6. The receivers not only can't catch catchable balls, they are ineffective at preventing preventable interceptions Other than those things I think Fitz is pretty good shape...oh...I forgot... he doesn't have very much talent.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I think he is a border line starter in the NFL, if he impoves he could be the answer, if not, a career backup. A borderline starter at the QB spot is the best we have. Fitzpatrick is the best QB on this team because the other 2 guys aren't even borderline starters-neither Trent Edwards nor Brian Brohm belongs in the NFL. At least Fitzpatrick is a good 2nd stringer-a guy who on a normal team can win games if the starter goes down. The other 2 belong in the UFL or Arenaball.

CardinalScotts Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Try no offensive line. BS they had injuries like no other last year. This offensive line is not great but Edwards does not make those around him better including the offensive line. BS they had injuries like no other last year. This offensive line is not great but Edwards does not make those around him better including the offensive line. Getting tired of this do you know how one works with the other. If you can't pass the football I'll just blitz the hell out of you with everyone at the line of scrimmage- stuff the run if they pass so what kill the quarterback. There is only one way to slow this down and Edwards can't or won't do it and the whole league knows it. Carbon copy against us every week. If we play a team that doesn't blitz they do when they play us. Fitz will atleast attempt the throws, probably hit a couple and all of a sudden our offensive line isn't that horrible.
