Buffalo03 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 14 hours ago, Heavy Kevi said: Greatest non-franchise/journeyman QB... Kurt Warner comes to mind. Love Fitz though. His roast of Fred Jackson belongs in some type of HOF Don't know if I would consider Warner a journeymen QB. Both the Rams and Cardinals based their franchises around him. Plus, I'm convinced if Warner would have gotten his chance earlier or had been younger instead of age 28 that he probably would have been with the Rams a lot longer. I also would say, if he didn't retire when he did then the Cardinals would have let him ride it out with them as long as he wanted since there wasn't any decline in his game Besides the Bills who gave Fitz a big contract, no other team has ever built their franchise around Fitzpatrick. Fitz, has basically always been a bridge QB or or just the guy to play until the main QB took over but he has been productive. He has also played for 8 teams which is the definition of a journeymen QB Two completely different players and two completely different situations if you ask me. I would never consider Warner a journeymen QB 55 minutes ago, Heavy Kevi said: Well iirc he was originally a GB packer... then played for the Rams, Giants, and Cardinals. Fits my description of a journeyman. he was never officially on the Packers. He was basically just a camp guy. He never made it through one training camp with them. He played for 3 teams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Fitz is a very good QB and who knows what he would’ve done with a Sean Peyton type coach for most of his career. I say yes on Fitz going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Football Hall of Fame ? That’s a huge no. Fan Favorite Hall of Fame ? Certainly. You couldn’t build a QB in a lab with more fan favorite attributes than Fitz. Edited September 26, 2020 by SirAndrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yet another year with another 15 Fitz threads? Can we please merge and pin? It’s the same relative topic for years: “Wow, he’s still not our QB by his own choosing, isn’t it grand that he’s still taking developmental snaps from possible future QBs? Let’s keep discussing how not our QB he is and how the Lombardi trophy doesn’t want to have a beer with him. Also he has facial hair, who knew? Let’s take a poll on your favorite follicle and where.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclepete Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 On 9/25/2020 at 10:22 AM, Heavy Kevi said: To me he's just as much the Cards QB who took a paycut to keep his receivers together. And he took both teams to SB's. Not sure that makes Fitz' case. Well, maybe Fitzgerald. 1 Super Bowl win, 3 appearances and an NFL MVP make you far from a journeyman/ non franchise qb.
