Ryan Fitzpatrick to sign with Miami


Recommended Posts

Under the Wikipedia entry for "journeyman quarterback," Fitzy makes it into the second paragraph. 

 

"The paradigm of a journeyman quarterback might be J. T. O'Sullivan, who spent time with 11 NFL teams...Chris Chandler started for seven different NFL franchises during his career...Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is still playing, has also started for seven different NFL franchises."

 

^Make that eight with Miami.

Easily one of my favorite Bills and one of my favorite NFL players of all time.

 

Did you know he went to Harvard, and that he wears his wedding ring while playing?

Exactly like season he was QB for Jests.

 

He also had a 10 win season there, right? That's the season when the Bills beat them week 17 to knock them out of the playoffs. I believe Fitz was the starter then.

That is correct.  Fitz was never more Fitzy than that day, throwing three 4th quarter picks to seal the deal.

The Fitz Cycle continues. 

 

He will need to finish his career with the Pats to complete his tour of the AFCE

If only he'd been signed by NE... that's a sure way to not have to face Brady. Because anywhere Fitz goes, the starter gets hurt.

Career earnings Mack's exactly what it means.

Career earnings.

Money already earned.

The link your provided shows he walked away with $60 million (fitzy).

Earned.

Walked away with.

Not "oh that's what was signed but he actually got less"

 

 

Correct.

I used the # Chandler was talking about, which it seems was TO, not Fitz, but Mr rags still doesn't understand what "career earnings" means, even though he provided a link that proved my point.

You are a winner. So glad to have your knowledge and remarks here at TBD. You showed up just in time after that other loser site folded

Poor Ryan Fitzpatrick.    He only has millions of dollars and always loses the games that matter.    

 

How many more years of “settling in” are needed to watch him lose with an interception ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

 

Your post is wrong and has no validity other than your man crush on pickpatrick.    

 

 

 

Not a man crush. Just realistic about what he was. A decent QB that has the most passing TDs as a starting Buffalo Bill Since Drew Bledsoe. Is the 4th leader in Bills passing Yards. 3rd leader in TDs. Yeah. Pretty terrible.

I was a math major and I know 7 teams does not equal 6 kids unless his wife is pregnant.

Not even close.  There are some RBs out there with more than 10 kids; the kids are from different mothers however and some of the kids were born within a few months of each other so it is easier to create a stable when you have a harem.

 

 

Rivers has more grandchildren than Fitz has kids.

Career earnings is money earned.

You were wrong.

Get over it.

Except you stated he earned over $80m and didn’t even bother to look at the link provided to prove you were incorrect. I love it when people pull up stats and facts to prove their point. Shows that stats can make a case for anyone. 

 

However you cant deny facts when someone is an idiot and can’t even click on a link to find out they were wrong all along. 

 

Dont worry im over it. Haven’t liked most of the scabs that came over from that hack site after it closed then, and I haven’t changed my opinion now.

Except I stated the mistake, and corrected it, which was using the 80mil earned was for Terrell Owens, and that fitzy was something around 59mil, which I stated.

 

Somebody said career earnings and you said "yeah but I wonder what of that is guaranteed?"

 

EARNED MEANS ALREADY PAID OUT.

 

that was where YOU were, regardless of the number.

Except I was basing that off the $80m number that was quoted. It’s ok. You don’t have to keep going just to hear yourself talk. Or if it’s really important to you to have the last word. Have at it. Enjoy your miserable life.

Once again.

You said "how much of those career earnings are guaranteed??"

The number doesn't matter.

You really don't get it.

Miserable life?

Ouch.

I said TRYING to keep the number of kids = to teams he was on.  Obviously it is not exactly equal....Miami is his 8th team.

I quoted a deadspin article that said "Ryan Fitzpatrick, a career backup, has the most fantasy points by a quarterback through 3 weeks ever, since the merger" last year.

 

Which sparked massive ongoing debate as to how to define Fitzpatrick's career.

 

Dude's a ****ing backup that's started a bunch of games just like Brett Hundley, Drew Stanton or any other backup that had a significant number of starts.

The argument began with "he's started X amount of games" and finally settled with the arbitrary number of games a backup has to start for various teams to not the labeled a "career backup". I believe at the time Brett Hundley had started like 30% of games in his career. Deep philosophical question there: had he been a career backup by that point?

 

Yes. Yes he had been. Fitz has done it better and longer lol. Best career backup ever.

 

So just the spurious argument that his curse to virtually every starting Quarterback means him starting for Winston last year is no different than Brett Hundley filling in for Rodgers.

 

Backups start games it's part of the job description to replace the starters. 

 

You start with crap Quarterbacks that started games and work your way up in this most senseless of arguments. It was an epic fantasy football season where Fitzmagic was traded for Gronk to prove a point.. because we are men of stupid principles and we practice what we preach

 

The man has no labels. He's the penultimate journey man Quarterback. There's no comparison I can think of. I think he'll break the record with the Dolphins for almost every quarterback stat to throw any statistical category for 6+, 7+, 8+, potentially 9+ teams. What a helluva career. Glad the Bills were the Genesis of his journey

He's not a career backup.  He was resigned in Buffalo as the starting QB and was the day 1 starter for 2 years. The year before that, he beat out Edwards for the starting job after week 2.  He was signed by the Texans as the day 1 starter in 2014.  For all intents and purposes, he was brought to the Jets as the day 1 starter over the awful Gino Smith.

 

The Bills were not the genesis of his journey.  He had already played for St Louis and had 12 starts in Cincy the season before he came to the Bills.

Fitz has had a career better than 90% of nfl qbs.

Yes he has. 

 

He's a good quarterback when it's all said and done. His career is fascinating.. the highs and lows he's played for an absurd amount of teams for such a long and predictable cycle at every stop.

Arguably Harvard was, he performed well enough there to get drafted to Cincy.

If that's what you brought to the debate, I'm pretty sure you lost.  By a lot.

The argument was he started enough games as a backup role. So I started with Brett Hundley and worked my way up to every backup that's started X amount of games. So I don't buy that an arbitrary number of games started from a guy 2nd in the depth chart makes him a starter lol. Outside of the 3 years Fitzmagic was the de facto starter, he still has started more games than any backup in history as far as I can tell. Can you think of any other?

 

I don't really care. I'm defending a friggin deadspin editor's comment. The debate is yet to be settled. Still raging.
