YoloinOhio Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) He’s back! Re-start the Fitzmagic cycle! Jameis benched after 4 picks Jameis is 2nd in the league in INTs this season after not playing in the first 3.5 games. Impressive.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Before he retires I want Fitz back for at least 1 more year. Even as a backup. I loved Fitz. Chan and the defense was the problem, not Fitz. I want 1 more year before he hangs it up. Let him go out as a Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Fitz is wildly inconsistent, and has ultimately let his teams down in the end. But he has also been one of the most exciting players in the league over the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the wear and tear catches up to him. He’s the perfect second string type. Just don’t tie your season’s success to his abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Quote In came the Harvard man to relieve Winston of his duties with 2:10 left in the third. He immediately proved to be a significant upgrade completing all four of his passes for 105 yards and a touchdown—a 72-yard bomb to Mike Evans—in his first two drives. Fitzmagic fully returned to life in his final drive of the game when took the Bucs 88 yards down the field for a game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay’s porous defense allowed Andy Dalton to march right back at his opponents and set up Randy Bullock for a game-winning field goal. But for a brief moment, the beauty of Fitzmagic was back and everything was good again. https://deadspin.com/fitzmagic-sort-of-returns-after-jameis-winston-gets-b-1830058927 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalftimeAdjustment Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Looks like he will be the top backup QB again next year, barring injury. He can still give you a spark and if you are losing anyhow why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Honestly, he'd be ideal for the Bills right now. He's not a threat to Allen's job, he'd be a good influence on him, he'd be able to hold down the fort for a few games, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yrly Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) The problem is Fitz’s value increases every time he comes in and lights it up. Especially when you put him on a team with serviceable receivers. He’s proven he can basically step in anywhere and immediately be able to play. However his team’s starter is arguably worse than he is. So I can’t imagine TB would simply give him away for some lowly pick. Sure he could mentor someone and possibly play a few years but he’s carved out an interesting niche. He’s the ultimate journeyman backup. His career TDS and yards will likely rival some HOFers by the time things are all said and done, especially if he ends up starting after Winston’s Petermanlike debacle. The Fitzpatrick cycle exists because he’s almost good enough to be a starter, but he’s so good at this he’s also irresistible to sign as a backup due to the track record of great off the bench performance, and when he puts up numbers he makes it look exciting too. His career stats are close to Troy Aikman at this point. How crazy is that? Edited October 29, 2018 by yrly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The only place Fitz has a winning record as a starter is in Tampa Bay where he is 4-3. Lets not forget that he is a limited player who struggles with any long term action... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is calling for him to be the #1, but he is an excellent teammate who would be an ideal mentor for Allen, and could easily win a few games in situations like this where Allen gets injured. He'd be a great pickup in the offseason if they could make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, we really haven’t had a QB as good since (obviously Allen remains to be seen), we legitimately would have been no worse off had we kept Fitz all these years and just gotten a bunch of receivers for him (and I mean actual receivers, not these players the Bills find to line up in the receiver position). Watch the last quarter of the TB game yesterday and tell me what QB we’ve had since that looked remotely as poised. While he’ll never be the best I think he always could have been a moderately serviceable starter with the right talent. Like I said he is approaching and in some cases surpassing Troy Aikman’s numbers mostly coming off the bench as a backup for what we’re some legitimately pretty lousy teams. I mean we’ve marched talent like EJ and Peterman onto the field. Fitz is miles better than both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
