You just knew he would throw that fourth quarter pick right when it looked like we might have a chance. But with that said I have to hand it to a guy who has made more of a career out of less natural tools than just about any other professional athlete that I can think of. Expand Not true actually. In his entire career, he threw only 6 4th Q INTs. In all games with either a lead or tie with 4 or fewer minutes to go, he threw a total of 2 INTs. All the rest with under 4 min to go were when trailing. In 2018, deep into his career, Fitz was #2 in accuracy on deep passes (over 20 yards in the air) behind only Brees. His career completion % is the same as Kelly's and his INT% is lower. Kelly was surrounded by top talent. Fitz has made a career of stepping into teams in times of disaster.

He was throwing to Stevie and a bunch of undrafted players who couldnt catch balls.

technobot Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) I've got to echo the Fitz love. As lovable as they were, in a Bad News Bears sort of way, Fitz has played for some trashy teams.He beat the Patriots in a game they really wanted with a "better than college, but just barely NFL" roster. Total team/coach effort but I digress. I have no idea what Beane/McDermott would think, but to me, Fitz would have been the ultimate backup QB for us. From all reports, he would have been an exemplary mentor for the starter, giving him all the help he needs, but would also compete like hell to be *the* starter. The guy has had a long and very profitable NFL career as a top tier backup and fringe starter, without the arm to do so. All brains, leveraging experience, toughness, being a world class teammate... the NFL love for the guy is universal and can't be smokescreen. In terms of intangibles, he's first team All-Pro. If he had Brady's arm, he would have been a star. Hell, if he had Josh's arm he would have been a Hall of Famer. Just my lukewarm take. Edited May 19, 2020 by technobot

Fitz with the Schwartz or even Pettine defense probably wins 9 or 10 games. 1

BubbaT Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 One of my favorite QBs to watch of all time. I always feel like something is going to happen, good or bad when he is playing. Not saying he's taking a team as QB1 to a title but just speaking as someone who likes watching him play and the entertainment value of it. I know when he is "on" he can take apart just about anyone. He also can throw 5 INT's or the one killer int at any time. I'm entertained.
