atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Fitz, might just be saying to himself 'I have enough money, I will only play for this money'. Fitz is a smart guy. He knows about all the health issues of playing the game. It is also March, as the season gets closer both teams and players get more anxious.

HT02 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Fitzy should be really careful, I think he's overplaying his hand a little bit here. He is an easy guy to root for but to paraphrase the "immortal" "he is what we thought he was". Its best for everyone (including Bills fans) if he resigns and starts for them.

Webster Guy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I hope for Fitz family's sake the guy just stays in NY for a few more years. Talk about nomadic. Damn fitzy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Probably so. Where can he go to be a starter? Fitzy lost his big contract money in week 17 last year. Had he not stunk up the field with EJ-level hellaciousness, the JESTS probably would have given him more this year. He am what he am. ^^^^^^ this. That game simply confirmed that Fitz has a ceiling, he doesn't acknowledge it and teams would be insane for paying him as though the truth is something otherwise.

dollars 2 donuts Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Man, just forget about being a Bills fan right now...can you imagine if the 4th quarter of the Jets game happens differently and he finishes the season (regardless of playoffs) with the Jets at 11-5, with 31 TDs and 12 picks? Yes, it didn't happen that way, but I seriously think he gets exactly what he's asking for if he did. My point? The guy was....that...close...to having it his way for the remainder of his career, even if he was a bust from here on out. If he could have gotten 15-20 million guaranteed, the guy guarantees himself at least a 60 million dollar career...an extremely middling one.

Doc Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 If the Jets made the playoffs last year, Fitz is probably looking for Osweiler money. So I'm not sure returning would have been certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 As a bottom tier NFL starter/back up caliber QB, what the Jest are offering is about all he's worth. he's no a bottom tier. he is middle of the road tier. he is only bottom tier when you take out the horrible guys. at the top you have roethlisberger, newton, wilson, romo, brees, brady, rodgers, manning, manning, palmer, ryan, luck that's 12 no doubt better. there are others who may or may not be better: alex smith, jay cutler, taylor, rivers, cousins, gingerboy in cinci... that's 19 qbs, with 7 you could reasonably debate being equable so we'll put him at 20. that's aveage. because no way should he be consiered worse than... mallett mccarron davis stafford hoyer freeman bortles keenum tannehill geno smith derek carr bradford gabbert winston mettenberger Fitz is middle of hte pack no matter how bad you want to call him awful.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Man, I hope the Jets get stuck with Hoyer or a rookie. It'd be sweet to watch that **** show play out in the NYC media all season long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 What happened to Bryce Petty? Polian killed the Bills for not drafting him last year as an "option" at starting QB. Apparently he really isn't an option, even after a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Petty other than seeing maybe 1 or 2 games in college, but I imagine any first year starter/2nd year QB in this division wouldn't do all that well. Maybe he'll grow into it, who knows. But I do know that the Jets 2016season hinges on how this whole QB fiasco plays out and I'm really hoping they role snake eyes.

BuffaloMatt Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 When was the last time Polian said something that was relevant or accurate? Talk about living off of past success. Seems to me he is becoming more Sullyesque as time goes on. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
