Doc Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The question is whether the Jets feel Fitz can do something he's never done before, despite being oh so close last year, and take them to the game playoffs? If so, pay him the $14M he's looking for. If not, roll with Geno until Hack is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yea and he also can't win when most needed... you know, like Ryan Fitzpatrick. Guess the Bengals will be cutting Dalton in camp then.. So you let Fitz walk for what is essentially pocket change and doom your team to a top 10 draft pick next year? You could work for the Jets right now...

Beef Jerky Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Who is the other QB that will get them that close to the playoffs? It's pretty simple. None which is why I want them to sign him for insane amount of money b.c I know even with Fitz they never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't know his motivations but I do know that he is a hero to a whole lot of Harvard grads who have a whole lot of access to major earnings potential and he is wealthy enough to get in one some sweet opportunities. I can't imagine him as a hedge fund manager but I can imagine him as a major stockholder in a company that could be worth billions in the future. If an knucklehead jobber like Bon Jovi can get in the conversation for NFL ownership Fitz certainly can one day if he goes after it, IMO. But then again.......maybe he doesn't care about that stuff. This guys been kicked around all over the league. He might just be at the Orton point in regard to what he feels about the game.........as in he wants the real big money or he can just go kick back in sunny AZ. I actually think Fitz is too smart to invest in the NFL. If anything I think the TV money bubble, the sweetheart stadium deals, and peoples' willingness to pay the equivalent of a couple of vacations for tickets, food and parking -- all of that is going to be on the decline. And this is to say nothing of the coming decline in the game itself given that a generation of talent is opting for safer sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is looking for "insane amounts of money" in this impasse. You know Fitz pretty well it seems. Did you know in September that he would lead them to 10 wins and that the Bills would be relegated to spoiler status by week 17? Link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the Bills would win both games and he wouldn't make the playoffs. I thought he would win 6 but he did 4 better... Brandon Marshal isn't making a full season, Fitz will never be as good as last year. Most Bills fans know Fitz VERY well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ready for what? Being something he has never been before? Maybe. But at least it won't cost them $14M to find out he'll never take them to the playoffs. Not that they didn't figure that out last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Marshal isn't making a full season, Fitz will never be as good as last year. Most Bills fans know Fitz VERY well. Sure you did. You would dump the best QB on your team after his best year ever over a few extra million over a couple of years? Maybe. But at least it won't cost them $14M to find out he'll never take them to the playoffs. Not that they didn't figure that out last year. Then why haven't they brought in someone else? Why are they still trying to get to a deal with Fitz? And you would be OK with the your team tossing a few more years away to see if they haven't drafted useless Penn St QB? No you wouldn't.

Especially with their cap situation. Speaking of which, I'd be more pissed if my team had to make unsavory cap moves in order to fit a guy who choked away the playoffs the year before. It's either toss away a few more years with Fitz or Hack for a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Haha, years ago I never thought I'd like Marshall but he has grown on me. It's hard not to like Marshall and how much he's grown since turning pro. His work on Inside the NFL is arguably the strongest on that show when he's there. Glad to see the guy doing well, even if he's a darn Jest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either toss away a few more years with Fitz or Hack for a lot less. Your equating Fitz and Hackenberg is worth a giggle. You would screw your team and fans over for a few millimeters of cap space? No you wouldn't. @KimJonesSports Todd Bowles on Mangold, Marshall & Decker absent to show solidarity w/Fitz: "I don't think so. You'd have to ask them but I don't think so." Gotta feel for Bowles being forced to say silly stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is what is missing in most of these pieces...everybody thinks Fitz is looking for $14M and jets offering $7m, or $10M if last report is correct. That just seems off to me. I think Fitz is looking for $25M-$30M GUARANTEED....maybe i missed but i have not seen reports term and guarantee and the delta between Jets and Fitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
