thebandit27 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 My one comment on the Flutie stuff: His best NFL season was almost statistically identical to JP Losman's best season in the NFL. Seriously. Draw your own conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglukes Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 He's not in the league because he doesn't want to be a backup and because everyone wants a young, cheap prospect as their backup not a 41 year old vet. He's obviously not a long term solution, but neither is Fitz. I'm sure he's as good as or better than most backup caliber QBs in he league, Fitz included. Players of his ability don't just forget how to play overnight. They may not forget how to play but they certainly can lose the ability to do it.

Nuncha Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 If fitz has another multi int game, don't you guys also think it would be worth it to bring Favre back? he'd be able to hit Graham on this deep slant routes. oooh yeah. I'd totes get his jersey!! I wonder if we'd have to cut Moats first though? Think Favre would require that as a condition? LOL! I'd rather see Jim Kelly come back - or Joe Ferguson. Come on man really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Jets when they tossed Pennington, a QB that could be compared to FItz, for wonderboy Favre. How did that turn out? How many INTs did he throw? And what is it that we dislike about Fitz?

PTR And then the following year he went to Minnesota and had an MVP type season and brought them to the brink of the Super Bowl. So I guess that year with the Jets didn't mean what you propose after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Last time Favre was healthy he had an MVP worthy season. He's had time to heal & he can still sling it. Most guys couldn't handle it physically at his age, but this is Brett frigging Favre we're talking about. Sure, it'll never happen, but we should be so lucky. +1 Someone make a post about bike riders on the road...if no response then our fears are confirmed.

Is that what signing Brett Favre is? I'm the guy who is trying to keep it real while everyone is dreaming of QBs that are not coming here or are wayyyyy past their prime. Fitz is they guy for 2012. Accept it. Deal with it. No team is going to trade their pro bowl QB to us mid-season. Buddy Nix is not dragging some cadaver our of retirement. The draft is still 7 months away. I don't love Fitz any more than any other Bills player but can we just watch the games without leaving reality?

BetterNextYearRight? Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 what PTR is saying is RIGHT NOW, THIS YEAR Fitz is the QB. we won't be getting another QB mid-season. Realistically 2013 Draft is when the Bills pick a QB, not a Brett Favre, not a Drew Brees. Franchise Qb's dont grow and trees and getting them to come from other teams is like trying to get Bill Clinton to keep his pants on. realistically Fitz may not take us to the SB. There is no reason to hate the guy though, if he gets us to the playoffs that will satisfy everyone here. We know he is not the future, but he is a easy to root for guy who can win us some games and help this team progress until the future at his position can get here. If he gets us to the playoffs that will satisfy everyone here Not because our terrible little team finally did it but because we'll finally see some progress and push our hopes and expectations to the next step. Gives us a reason to hope our small-market fan-crazy team can be what we all want them to be. And BuffaloBillsSD, so if we make the playoffs and lose in one of the rounds, you would be a realistic fan and not defend the progress they've made? And please why start with PTR? Guy is an excellent poster, a smart football fan, a generally nice dude and he is part of what makes this wall correct me if i misunderstood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
