Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 "What would you call Harvard product Ryan Fitzpatrick? Journeyman, insurance policy, good Scrabble partner? I'd call him this: A man with a real chance to keep the job longer than any of his post-Kelly predecessors." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/12/10/brett-favre-ryan-fitzpatrick/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Good line by Gailey. Is that a stab at Fitz? Ohio State is known for having QBs flop in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Fitz IS NOT THE ANSWER!!! Especially if Pete King is talking good about him. Look what happened when King posted good remarks about Buffalo last week. The Bills got slaughtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsox Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Fitz is a good fit right now. I don't see him as the long term solution though. I believe we need Andrew Luck. I believe him to be the answer at QB, but I don't think he's coming out and with the uncertainy of the 2011 season, I don't think it will happen. That being said. If He comes out you get him, if he doesn't go with Fitz and build your TRENCHES UP!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift Sylvan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) You're right, because quarterback ISN'T THE QUESTION. +1, sure we can always improve...but that in itself is the problem we can improve anywhere and everywhere MAYBE with the exception of DT for one spot. I sort of imagine us as the kid who walks in to a candy store and sees all the amazing different possibilities of what we could have and how amazing (and yes it would be amazing) for this all to take place. The problem is that we only have a $10 allowance and we're just incapable of getting everything we want. With what we have at QB I'd say that unless we somehow get an amazing bargain (Luck) then we probably should invest in something else.

DreReed83 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Chan has taken an AVERAGE QB in the NFL and made him legit. Just imagine what he can do with a legit QB with even more tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Sylvan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I also don't buy the Andrew Luck hype. May be I'm wrong, who knows? Well that's always a possibility, I think from playing on a team sport it just becomes so obvious of what you can and can't accomplish in a year. Of course if madden were like the real NFL who would play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Chan has taken an AVERAGE QB in the NFL and made him legit. Just imagine what he can do with a legit QB with even more tools. And yet all of Fitz's stats (including his averages which aren't impacted by games played) put him somewhere 18-20 in just about every category but TD'S.

Except that TD's are pretty important, since it's a game of points scored versus points surrendered. At it stands right now, Fitz would be tied for 3rd in TD's/game (2.0) with Rivers and Manning. Despite not getting the majority of reps in the off-season, training camp, and pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flopagamo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Does anyone like Peter King? I cannot stand him -- master of the obvious, no meaningful insight, ever. I'd better be careful though... I don't want to upset his loyal fans (both of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
