26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Joe Namath HOF Fitz Pass attempts: 3,762 3,627 TD–INT: 173–220 158-126 Passing yards: 27,663 24,190 Passer rating: 65.5 79.8 Trying to compare QB numbers from the '60s and '70s to today's NFL makes no sense to me.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) @GangGreenNation Report: Jets Likely to Make QB Change Soon if Fitzpatrick Doesn’t Improve https://t.co/Rs2ON9FQhb In other news, Water is still wet. They have to bench him if he doesn't improve. What is anyone in the Jet's org gonna say? "Yes, he's our QB, Ride or Die?" On the other hand, the pattern of Fitz career suggest that he's poised to have a nice 2-3 game streak again.

Freddie's Dead Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Against the Seahawks, one of Fitz's INT's was his fault (Marshall fell on one, the other was tipped). Were all 6 of Fitz's other INT's his fault? Asking seriously, haven't seen them, and I get it, nobody cares. Just wondering if the stats are really as bad as Fitz is playing.

Nick the Greek Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 @rshields37 I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers: back page edition. J-E-T-S @nyjets @nyjets @nyjets I was confused with the "Ryan Shame" headline. I thought they were referring to Rex Ryan. But no, Ryan Fitzpatrick! All Jets with the Ryan name are awful.

So..yes nd no is the answer. Fitz throws a lot of 50/50 balls, and into a ton of tight windows, figuring his guys will make the play more often than not. Last year they did, and the DB's dropped a lot of would be picks, and it worked. This year, outside of the Bills game, his guys are not winning the majority of those 50/50 balls....so is it his fault he is playing like he always has?

26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Move on? Nope.

dpberr Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 They should start Petty or Hackenberg to see what they've got. Couldn't be worse. The season is over at 1-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcrusho Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 They should start Petty or Hackenberg to see what they've got. Couldn't be worse. The season is over at 1-5. Gruden was saying on the broadcast something about how they (Petty or Hackenberg) can't even get on the practice field because of the CBA? I wasn't really paying attention, I was more interested in studying for a Cisco exam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I love Fitzy, so I'm a little sad to see things go this way for him, even though I expected it. He would be the perfect QB: By all accounts a good guy. A true professional who will never call out his teammates. Blames himself for his poor play. Generous with his teammates and very smart. A family man. But he just doesn't have the field presence, accuracy and sixth sense that a franchise QB needs. I watched a good chunk of the game last night and some of those INTs were brutal. When the pressure is on he definitely tends to press things too much. He just can't carry a team on his back when it counts. I hope he gets out of the game without any major injuries and goes on to have a great life with his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Its no surprise what we're seeing out of Fitzpatrick. He's got heart and desire but along with that less than optimal physical skills for the QB position. But other than having a degree from Harvard I'm not getting the he's football smart thinking. He has extensive periods of recklessness with the football, sometimes at the most critical point in the game, and continues to make the same mistakes. What's so smart about that? Somebody with superior intelligence would analyze their performance, recognize their errors, and take the necessary actions to correct or reduce the problem. Not commit the same mistakes repeatedly.
