Logical Reasoning Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Fitz is confident and is willing to throw it in tight spaces. If you have been a fan of the Bills for more that two years, you should be able to picture the touchdown passes to Nelson where he picked the ball basically off of the linebacker helmet for the touchdown as well as the touchdown to Chandler against the Raiders last year that should have been an easy pick. The question is: with a better defense, do we want him to be more conservative or just be himself with the probablility of more interceptions. I say let him do the same thing that he is doing and let the coaches coach the game. We have enough talent now around him (healthy) that worrying about interceptions is a waste of energy. If our defense is that much better that unit should be able to cover for any errors to a certain level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I want him to be a bit smarter with some throws, but I like his gunslinger mentality and giving guys a chance to make a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm hoping his time with David Lee will lead to him being able to put it where fewer defenders have a play on the ball, and to hit timing routes with precision. I do agree with the Cap'n - in crunch time it's nice to see him not shying away from the challenge, but a lot of the reason that a guy like Tom Brady succeeds lies in his ability to lead receivers and his sharp timing. I'd like to see these from Fitzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 With our defense, I'm pretty sure Fitz will be more of a game manager and less of a gunslinger. He will feed Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I want him to be the guy who hands off to Fred and CJ. I suppose it might be ok if he throws occasionally to keep the defense honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM57 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) What do I want him to be? Early 2000's Rich Gannon/Brad Johnson or mid 2000's Jake Delhomme. Feed the ball to your dynamic running backs 25 times a game and don't make a costly error when its your turn to throw the ball. That, along with a good D, will win you games and got 3 very mediocre QB's to the playoffs multiple times and all to the Big Game once.

fansince88 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 An automatic SB ticket. But hey playoffs would be great. Possibly beating Pats 3 times. Hey dont knock it. You said what do I WANT him to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ya know, i wouldnt really change fitz. probably a little more 2 tes, and pounding it, safe throws... parcells style... but not too conservative... as long as we stay healthy, we are going to put some pts up, its the run d and pass rush that needs to be top 5 in order for us to get to the dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our defense is that much better that unit should be able to cover for any errors to a certain level. There is no defense in the history of the NFL that was so good you could lead the NFL in turnovers on offense and still be a good team. Walk into any locker room, coaches meeting, practice, etc...and you will here the same thing over and over again, PROTECT THE FOOTBALL. This defense is in no way good enough to withstand a barrage of INT's by Fitz again. I love what we have done on D, but we still have a ton of inexperience in the secondary and question marks at LB. None the less, if that was the 85 Bears out there on D for us, we still can't just go out and be careless with the football. Remember, its not the best D that wins, its who scores the most points. So, if we keep turning it over and struggle scoring while at the same time giving the opposing team several more chances to score while also making our D stay out on the field longer and wear down, then it will be a lot harder to win football games. So what Fitz needs to be is a better QB for us to win games. Up to this point he has been woefully inaccurate, inconsistent, and mistake prone. Its not even just the INT's he has thrown, its the dozens more he puts right in the defenses hands that they drop, all the missed and bad 3rd down throws for another 3 and out, the coming up short when the game is on the line, the missed opportunities of open guys because he didnt see them and forced the ball somewhere else...he needs to play better football, and thats just the bottom line. If he does, we can make some noise this year...if he doesn't, then I don't care how good our D is, we will struggle to make the playoffs this year or even to get to 8-8.

swnybillsfan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 i would like fitz to be in rhythm with his recievers and healthy. if he can put the ball where they can catch it on the run, then i feel we definately have a group of guys that can turn upfield and get some good chunks of yards.
