Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Fitz needs surgery on his grip. I've never seen a QB that loses his grip on the ball as often as he does. PTR One word PTR: Gloves. He needs gloves. They helped Warner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Based on the fact that he has been inaccurate during his entire 7 years in the NFL? Watch the New England game again. He was deadly accurate. Looking at his throwing motion, it is different now than compared to early in the year. It looks like he needs to make more of an effort to get the ball out.

Big Turk Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Fitz needs surgery on his grip. I've never seen a QB that loses his grip on the ball as often as he does. PTR He needs to start doing Farmer's Walks with some dumbbells where you simply pick up a set of dumbbells and carry them as long as possible(completely brutal) and some weighted hang cleans. That would fix his grip issue in no time flat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I thought it was the Fletcher hit that has been nagging him and a chest injury. But folks have mentioned he is just arm weary from lack of condition. Either case we should have running the ball more while he struggled. I am very interested if there is any announcement post season on his "condition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 He isn't injured. His WR's are the worst collection in the NFL. How many other teams field a WR corp of a 7th round pick, a former QB, a current RB, and no less than 4 UDFA's or practice squad guys? The 1990 Bills !!! :worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very interested if there is any announcement post season The money he is making is weighing down his arm. He probably traded his wedding ring in for a bigger one. The only thing hurt on this team is their inability to assess players an pay them a accurate wage. Instead they sign a career backup with 5 good games in an entire 7 year career to a 9 mil a year contract hoping he doesnt return to his normal self. They took a chance, again, and failed.

They'd probably fine us for withholding the injury. If we get fined, that will probably use up all of our FA money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since 1972 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Why would the Bills allow their "franchise QB" to play hurt in meaningless games...Why?? What the @# is the backup qb for??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many other teams field a QB that was a 7th round pick from Harvard that has career stats of 66 td/61 ints, 59% completion, 75 qb rating? You act as if fitz is some stud and all of our wrs sucks.' Stevie is a better Wr than fitz is qb. Nelson is an ok Wr. Chandler is a decent TE. The rest of the guys aren't good. But his 3 targets that have been in the lineup all season aren't terrible players. Theyve definitely had their share of drops. fitz has definitely had his share of bad throws too. It's on both parties. When teams are successful, the qb gets the majority of the credit. When teams fail, the qb get the majority of the blame. We failed. Fitz gets the majority of the blame.

Gray Beard Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Why would the Bills allow their "franchise QB" to play hurt in meaningless games...Why?? What the @# is the backup qb for??? Thigpen is worthless. Chan probably knows that. That's why he tried to get Graham Harrell off the Packers practice squad. I think one of the interesting plot lines next spring will involve the second string QB. Will they draft somebody? What round? Second or third would mean they are serious. Beyond third they are just taking a flyer to see if they get lucky. Maybe they will go after a FA, but it would be hard (expensive) to get somebody that way who would be very good. That's how they ended up with Thigpen. Based on meaningless preseason games against other scrubs, Levi Brown looked better than Thigpen, but Chan stuck with his guy. I hope he doesn't do something detrimental to the future of the team like that again next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i know it seems silly. I thought Chan was trying to help get Fitz's confidence back. I think Fitzy trealizes he kinda sucks these last many weeks. Another problem is that Thigpen mightbe useless. Remember last season when we trotted him out? I hope we play thigpen or brown some against new england. is Levi still on the team? And i do think we MUST draft in 2-3 round this year or next for qb.

I had no idea you were such a big dolphins fan The funny part is in thigpens one extended audition he put up very fitz-like numbers with chan in KC. 3-2 td-int ratio, shade under 60% and a little less than 7 a catch I believe Edited December 26, 2011 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was Brohm who played near the end of the season. He had a terrible game, and then he disappeared. I felt sorry for him, he had no clue how to handle the pass rush and get rid of the ball in three seconds or less. I became more of a Fitz fan after that game, because I realized just how good he was at dealing with the pass rush and still playing competitively.
