metzelaars_lives Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I do not believe you. No better than Orton or Cassel and certainly no upside. He has always had a few good games, a nice streak here and there, but in the end, he always come back to level, which is mediocre. Again, semantics. Yes he is a below average starting QB. He's probably a bottom five starting QB. But he is a top 32 QB. Do we have one of those?? And I definitely think he is better than Orton was last year and Cassel is right now. He certainly was from 2009-2012 with us. And this is the best team he's ever played on. I guess we'll see.

Fadingpain Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) They were arguing over the works of Jane Austin vs Clive Cussler Apparently Ik argued that Austen's plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security. Geno, a staunch feminist, took umbrage to this, and the rest is history. Edited August 11, 2015 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Point of order, getting punched in that scenario is not a sucker punch. A sucker punch is tapping a guy on the shoulder and dropping him when he turns around, not when the guy is already in your face. That's just a knockout. Agreed.

Wazzu Bill Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Very true, but this may actually help the jets. I think Fitz is probably better than Geno. This. I don't understand the Fitz haters here. I wouldn't argue that Fitz is good, but I think a strong case could be made that the Jets got an upgrade. Let's see what happened last time we played geno...Bills win 38-3, Geno gets benched for Vick. And the time before that? Geno goes 2-8 with 3 picks before getting benched for Vick, Bills win 43-23.

DC Tom Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I can only imagine Rex Ryan hearing this, and being the first person in the history of anywhere to think "God, I'm glad I'm no longer with the Jets, and with a stable franchise like Buffalo."

Malazan Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I've gotta say, Rex is the BEST coach we have ever had. I can't imagine Marrone leaving a sleeper agent on his former team to strike. That combined with Rex's masterful manipulation of the League office, all he needs to do is get Tannehill out now and he'll guarantee 1st place in the AFCE. Tannehill must be watching his back real close. Edited August 11, 2015 by jeremy2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 If Cassel starts, we will have started 3 Qbs that have started for 4 different teams in 3 years. I don't know why we haven't made the playoffs in 15 years. This story is nuts. I always take training camp reports with a grain of salt but he apparently was playing well. This seems like some legal action might be coming. Check that math homey. Since 2012: Cassel, MIN, BUF, KC (3) Orton, DAL, BUF (4) EJ, BUF (4) Tuel, BUF (4) Thad, CLE, BUF (5) Fitz, BUF, TEN, HOU, NYJ (8) In four years, the Bills could potentially start six QB's who--counting the Bills--will have starts with eight different teams.

Anyone want to guess what happened the last time we played against Fitz? Im no Geno fan or supporter, but to be fair, reports were (at least what I had been reading) that he was having a great camp. In fact, I think I read he hadn't even thrown an INT yet and looked poised to take a good step in his career. And further more, the Jets coaching staff felt he was the best QB thus far considering he was the unquestioned starter even though the current staff has no loyalty to him and he's never had job security prior either. Sounded like he was earning his spot atop the depth chart. Fitz sucks. People are delusional about his time here. He literally would compile a large chunk of his stats over a 2 or 3 games (many we often still lost and were blowout losses) then literally struggle to get a single TD the rest of the year. At the end of the year, the TOTALS look decent, but his week to week actually consistency and productivity were really terrible. Not to mention, he's captain give the ball away when we had chances to win games. He was a great teammate, great attitude, but he is in no way a quality starter in this league. He's a great backup who can keep you competitive but wont win you many games and will LOSE you more games than he wins. Case in point...his last full year here, we were 0-9 when we threw more passes than ran. We were 7-0 when we ran more than we threw the ball. That speaks monuments about how effective he is. He can not be depended on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yes he is. It may be a matter of semantics here but give me 32 QB's you'd rather have starting for you right now. Yes, he is prone to critical interceptions. So is Jay Cutler, who is also one of the best 32 QB's in football. The truth of the matter is that there are not, nor have there ever been, enough QB's for every team to have a really good one. We, as Bills fans, should be able to grasp that concept better than anyone. AMAZING!!! I'm really high strung, I'm always swingin for the fences... Just because there are 32 spots, doesn't mean there are actually 32 QBs that are good enough at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Fans reacting... Enemkpali has been cut? I would have named him team MVP. No jury in the tristate area would convict him. Jets fans need to get a Kickstarter up to pay Enemkpali’s salary, plus a bounty. If people think you can punch a Jets player every time he does something to piss you off, there’s going to be a mob of angry, violent, ignorant people milling around MetLife stadium after ever home game.

I guess we'll see. Disagree strongly. Fitz threw a real nice screen pass to Spiller and Jackson. That was about it. After that Redskins game where Fletcher popped him, he went in the tank. Orton has a much better arm, and can actually throw the ball downfield. I'd rather take my chances with Cassel. Fitz is trash. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Fitzpatrick is a PROVEN failure as a starting QB in this league. So he had a great defense in Houston, 2 great WR, a great RB, good TE play, but NOW he has a team finally! lol This is going to be a lot of fun! Spoiler alert: Fitzpatrick will play poorly again. SOMEDAY he will have the SB era 49ers offense, the 85 Bears defense AND a coaching staff of Lombardi as HC, Belichick as DC, and Walsh at OC.
