Big Buffalo Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I am a fan of anyone that can win. If Fitz is the guy so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, what you list as an afterthought - ACCURACY - is, in fact, the #1 qualification for NFL QB's, and largely what seperates them from the majority of NCAA QB's. I'll still be pulling for him - but based on the number of 3 and outs he generated with wild throws last season, I don't hold out much hope.

FightClub Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Fitzpatrick has been my horse in this race from the beginning as well. I knew Edwards sucked and was completely perplexed in the way the QB "competition" shook out over the course of the summer. I have nothing against Brohm, but I personally see more in Fitzpatrick. Back when we had Fairchild (I know, he was terrible..) as our OC, I had identified Fitz as a potential future QB of the Bills because he played well for Martz and Fairchild was something of a Martz disciple. I was so glad when we signed him as I had followed his career since. Everyone sees him as a stop gap but don't be so sure. I think Fitz can play QB in this league if we give him a chance to succeed. Our line does need work, and so do our WRs, but I promise you Fitz will make them both look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm still coming to grips with the fact that there are Fitzpatrick "fans." Really? I didn't see much last year to get excited about. He has to be one of the most inaccurate passers in Bills history. I cringe every time he drops back to pass. You could make a drinking game on whether he over or under throws the receiver. On the other hand, at least he actually throws the ball down field occasionally.

I'll still be pulling for him - but based on the number of 3 and outs he generated with wild throws last season, I don't hold out much hope. It actually is not the #1 qualification for NFL QBs. It is important but definitely not the most important above all other characteristics. Knowing how to read defenses/knowing where to go with the football and pocket awareness are the most important things. A QB can have a long career if he has those two.. ability to make all required NFL throws and then toughness probably come right after that. If you've got all those and then are fairly accurate on top of that, then you're probably one of the best. No QB completes every pass but as long as they can get hot and get in a rhythm and be accurate at times then you can win the superbowl (see Eli Manning).

I think he scambles very well, the exact ranking is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Win or lose please just give us a 300 yard passing game. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsox Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hey, I think it's great Fitz is QB. As sad as it is, he is the best QB on our team right now. But please come on. We are playing the Patriots this week coming off of a loss. The Bills will be lucky to get 150 Yds passing this week. The talent between our two teams is night and day. It's gonna be another blow out folks. 34-17 Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Ryan Fitzpatricks chance to win a starting job in the NFL......you may want to back him. I am! Ryan Fitzpatrick may be better suited for both Gailey and the state of the O-line. I sound like a broken record, but Fitz basically has won 9 of his last 14 starts(counting the Jets game TE played 5 plays) The winning percentage over the stretch when put in a 16 game season has Ryan Fitpatrick knocking on the door to the playoffs. Ugly sometimes, but the team does rally around Fitz and he finds a way to win. Edited September 22, 2010 by dog14787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
