grammer_police Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 What if Fitz's accuracy drastically improves throughout the season? Isn't that basically the only thing that's holding him back? Hell, if he could have had a few throws back from the NE game we very well could have won. Could you imagine him stepping in and beating the Pats? He would be a Buffalo hero. Perhaps he is the kind of QB that needs a few games to get in a groove and by week 10 he is playing like a pro bowler. To be honest, I think that this happening is fairly unlikely, but much stranger things have happened (like your starter co-captain being released only a week removed from being your #1 guy). GO FITZ!

DrDawkinstein Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 What if Fitz's accuracy drastically improves throughout the season? then we bench him and start the in-game evaluation of Brohm. we dont need any of these "back-ups" knocking us out of contention to draft a real QB next year.

Pilsner Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If Fitz keeps playing the way he did last Sunday and only improves his accuracy just a little bit which is not out of the question our O can make some dramatic improvements this season. He has the decision making, the balls, reads the D decently enough and has leadership qualities. Just even a small improvent of his accuracy could make a big difference in the overall scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The interception at the end of the game would have to have been a great throw... a throw that, oddly enough, Trent Edwards has the skill (but obviously no longer the moxie) to make. If Fitz is going to have the confidence to attempt to drop a pass in a tight spot at a bad angle like that (and in a pressure situation) which only a terrific arm can accomplish he's going to need to adjust his expectations just as much as improve his accuracy.

Phil Hansen Forever Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If his accuracy improves so what? His noodle arm remains one of his consistent problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b stein 22 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) If his accuracy improves so what? His noodle arm remains one of his consistent problems. I guess you missed the 98 yard throw to TO last year. He threw it far enough. Edited September 28, 2010 by b stein 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think he has already improved his accuracy over last year. In pre season at times he looked a lot better like that TD drive against the Deadskins. Sunday, except for a handful of passes (including the 2 picks, the miss to Roscoe for the TD and the miss to Lee for 1st down) was right on the money. He made some damn nice passes. The TD to Steve Johnson comes to mind. His completion percentage for the game was 71% and they were real passes, not checkdowns. Those aren't inaccurate passer numbers. Let Coach Gailey work with him for another week and tweak some more plays to what he does. He might be alright after all. Go BILLS !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaPolian8693 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 What if Chan sprinkles pixie dust on Fitzpatrick, and he magically becomes a good quarterback!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Sylvan Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If his accuracy improves so what? His noodle arm remains one of his consistent problems. I would think we can work around a noodle arm. Surely he can throw it further than Chad Pennington and he was a good enough to lead teams to playoffs when healthy.

Pilsner Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 If his accuracy improves so what? His noodle arm remains one of his consistent problems. Perhaps Chan will take his "noodle arm" into account. Fitz's "noodle arm" almost pushed the patsies to their limit. With a little more accuracy and improved D this "noodle arm" might be able to beat the pats next time. Way to look at the optimistic side of our qb change up. If you are going to be bitter, then why not look at other positions on our team. I'm a bit concerned as well about some spots but right now it's definitely not qb.

dwy138 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Why not? This guy could be starter after losing to the pats he's .500 as a bill and he never got a fair shake in training camp to get the reps or a full season to improve. He has a few throws that are kinda WTF was that but all the qbs who take chances have errant throws dude puts up 30 at new england and people are calling for Brian brohm give credit where it's due. And ps If you get thirty points on any team and you lose that's on the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
