CodeMonkey Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Does anyone have an explanation as to why the !@#$ the Bills signed him if they aren't even going to dress him? Why play Fitz anymore this season? Gailey really frustrates me. Edited December 16, 2012 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't get what ppl expect here, what would be the difference if they did activate him bc he certainly wouldn't play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He may have the arm and legs to play qb, but he aint got the gray matter to be a qb in this league. See Vince Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 idk whats so confusing about this he was bought as insurance. thats it if fitz is hurt you dont want your only qbs on the roster to be thigpen and smith. they dont have enough second team practice reps to get him ready so they go with what they have that is ready. if fitz does go down they can have thigpen play the next game and spend two weeks getting tjax the reps he needs to take over. no damn mystery hell, ppl complain like hell that ralph is cheap then they go out and make a move for safety and ppl complain. no wonder marv said if you listen to the fans pretty soon you will be sitting with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's so simple it's unreal. They cut Vince Young and signed TJax for only one reason. So they could justify Fitz and his contract. The married themselves to him and Didnt want to have any possible QBs in the roster for people to call for when Fitz didn't live up to their expectations. If Vince Young was here still, there would be no way possible to justify keeping Fitz in going forward. TJax has never amounted to much. Plus on the TJax front, they were able to use the BS play book trouble excuses for half the season. Now all the sudden, Chan and Buddy are saying its not the play book, it's reps. That's my take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Daddy Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Chan is too pig headed to admit his mistake of crownng Fitz the starter. The excuse that TJ gets no reps is B.S. Switch to TJ and give him all reps. Should have made the move at bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan4ever14580 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I am confused why anyone would think T-Jax would be active? Gailey has said he wouldn't be active the whole year unless there is an injury to Fitz due to T-Jax lack of reps in practice. Based on recent comments of Nix & Gailey they must have been guaranteed at least 4 years to have a winning record and make the playoffs. Last year they addressed the defense and this off season they will address the offense. This essentially was a throw away year to them. Next year is the "make or break" year. It will be interesting to see what happens. Nix & Gailey will be back. Fitz will not be the opening day starter in 2013. BTW....does anyone know where I can make $1.7MM to hold a clipboard?

BillsVet Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 He may have the arm and legs to play qb, but he aint got the gray matter to be a qb in this league. See Vince Young. This whole inactivation of Jackson just seems deeper than getting practice reps. He's started for 2 other franchises, and it's not as though Fitzpatrick is doing anything ultra-creative either. I wouldn't be surprised if Nix and Gailey agreed that not activating T-Jack was necessary to protect Fitzpatrick from further scrutiny. In their world, the Bills front office is all about protecting themselves and their players from criticism. But, it's the Bills, and they're run like a third rate organization, so anything's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your most likely right about Nix and Gailey, I think your absolutely 100% wrong about Fitz. He will be the opening day starter unless we get Vick as a FA or Rivers because of a trade with SD and Nix' history with him. Mark it down. Fitz will be here longer than you think and hope.

Man, I hope you are wrong. Another year of Fitz would be another wasted year and NO way will season ticket holders buy like they did this year like they did after the Mario Williams signing. Russ Brandon and the Marketing group will come up with something and Fitz can't be part of that something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Grid Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That way when they fail to upgrade at QB next year and don't draft a QB till the third or fourth they can still con us by saying tavaris might be the franchise qb they need and we'll have no way of knowing.

CodeMonkey Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Why not? Are you really this upset about a backup QB? Seriously The Bills now have 3 backup QBs. One of which has never even dressed for a game. Gailey is clueless and Nix is likely senile. Yeah, that makes me upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I agree...see what the kid has. What do we have to lose? Color him gone. He's never going to re-sign here and he's only got to put up with this for 14 more days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
