Teddy KGB Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Tyfraud or Pickspatrick for more than league minimum is a hard pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 During the bills/Steelers game(Johnson’s drop) years ago there was a dude that sat behind us the whole game and just kept yelling “come on FRITZY! get mad, FRITZY!” I’ll never forget it. Good ole “FRITZY”... My buddy that was there with me(Stiller fan) and I have called him by the name “FRITZY” to this day. funny thing is ole fritz did seem to look pretty pissed off when he had to zing one. ....And I’m not answering the question.

Nick the Greek Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Tyrod is the man who broke the curse. I would take him all day. I wish he was still a Bill. 38 minutes ago, Teddy KGB said: Tyfraud or Pickspatrick for more than league minimum is a hard pass. You mean Fitz-putrid, Fitz-tragic, or Fitz-pick-6?

LSHMEAB Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 With our defense and lack of elite offensive personnel, I'm taking Tyrod every day of the week. Heck, he lead them to 9 wins with that gutted 2017 roster. Both Fitz and Barkley would put up better numbers(with a lot more turnovers), but Tyrod would lead them to the most wins.

SloanBillsFan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Kinda torn because I am a TT fan and I liked Fitz right up to the point where he got a huge paycheck and his hands turned into every opponent's best friends. I think I'd have to go: Barclay Taylor Fitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not anticipate the split opinions on this. I'm leaning towards the guy that would make the least mistakes - TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have the guy who has seen it all, will walk into the locker room and the huddle and immediately command the respect of his teammates and if they lose, go down swinging. TT could achieve none of that. Neither could Barkley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I wouldn´t sign Fitz as backup, he is like the human Madden curse. For some reason he starts a couple of games a year so that would mean Allen gettiong hurt or playing bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Fitz, easily. Job of backup QB is to be able to come in for a couple of weeks and keep everything moving. Fitz, throughout his career, has proven capable of coming in as a backup and winning some games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 19 hours ago, Limeaid said: Depends on scheme and how backup would be used. Fitz - if you needed someone to take chances since you were not going to win otherwise Tyrod - Someone to make something happen when RBs/line were not getting it done. Good as 2nd QB as slash QB/RB. Barkley - when you are winning the game and QB needs to come out for injury. Don't take chances, don't mess up. Pretty good assessment. Barkley played a very good game against the Jets for us last year. He did everything you want your QB to do if you're playing with a good D and just want him to score enough points - threw for enough yards, completed 60% of his passes, 9 YPA, no mistakes. His performance in 2016 to finish the season with Chicago suggests that he might not be able to sustain that, unless it represents a true uptick in QB IQ or a better-match of a system. Good Fitz can light your hair on fire, and has been able to since his very first game as a pro, but all fans in Buffalo painfully know he will eventually turn into Bad Fitz and crush your hopes and dreams while grinding your bones to make his bread. OK, not that last, but the rest of it. 1 hour ago, Irv said: Not everybody agrees. I did not anticipate the split opinions on this. I'm leaning towards the guy that would make the least mistakes - TT. Making the least mistakes as a QB doesn't count when you won't pull the trigger and try an adequate number of times. It's like a student submitting a blank sheet of test paper - they didn't make mistakes, but they didn't take a shot either. TT can play decently in a specific system. If he were backing up LJax in a system designed by Roman and designed around a strong run game, I'd pick him. No where else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Fitz beat the Pats in a wild one at home. That alone makes him my #1 backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Assuming money/cap isn't an issue, Fitz every time. Just promise me we don't fall in to the trap of him stringing together three good games and declaring him the franchise savior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with selecting Fitz is that you're basically guaranteeing that your starter is going to get seriously injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Tough call. I'd pick Fitz since I've seen a larger body of work. Based on the Jets game, it would be Barkley all the way, but that was just one game. I'd be cool with Tyrod except the NFL knows his shtick now. (Like latter day Flutie.)

Real McClappy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 1st - Barkley 2nd - Fitz - dude is 36 or I'd pop him first Distant 3rd - Tyrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
