Steptide Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We'll always love Fitz. I'm always amazed at the amount of former players that still love buffalo. Especially the ones that played in the drought era (Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson etc). 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Bring him in on the Offensive staff if he wants to coach. I do have a feeling Daboll and Dorsey are both coaching in other teams next year. Specially after last night. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not so sure he will want to coach. But if Mitch leaves in FA and Fitz wants to come here and finish out as Josh's backup then Beane needs to make it happen. Fitz has said himself he sees himself as a Bill when he reflects back on his career. This is the only place where a team ever committed to him for a period as "the guy". And while ultimately he wasn't good enough it was not for the want of trying. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evian Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Fitz would be a good backup in Buffalo. Mitch will likely be fighting for a starting job with some mediocre team next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzpatrick more likely will get a job in a front office with his background going to Harvard and a degree in Economics and is very, very bright. There were 5 players at end of year on active NFL rosters at end of last year from Harvard.

gonzo1105 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Looks like he was in or near the Clubs. I expect Trubisky to move on for a placeholder job where he can actually play. I’d love Fitz as the backup for a year or two before he retires then give him a job in something football around here since he clearly loves the area and has the professional and academic background .

Do you refuse to let Dorsey leave to take another position if Coach Diabolical got a HC offer?

Coordinator positions open for Dorsey cannot he blocked Right but picking your career choices are important. If Daboll gets hired somewhere there is a good chance that Dorsey gets offered both Buffalo and Miami (or another teams) OC positions. If youre trying to cut your teeth as an OC in the league, would you rather it be with Allen or Tua? 7 minutes ago, since79 said: Fitz is Buffalo....... Jesus, Tee is everywhere.

NO! NO! NO! I love Fitz, but every time a team hires him to be the #1 back up, the QB1 gets hurt and Fitz ends up starting more games than anyone wanted. Even though he only played here four years, he is one of the Buffalo community all-time favorites. Hire him to coach or work for the organization. That would be best for all concerned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has already said it is his policy to not prevent promotions or people leaving. No you allow him to take interviews if he decides he wants to but you just tell him flat out before any team requests a interview that the Bills will match or beat any offer any other team wants to give you as a coordinator !! I think that this offense might be able to be even better if Dorsey stay just for the fact that he see's within the scheme what works & what doesn't & i also think he has a lot more input than we as fans may think already . So if continuity is a plus in the NFL as far as scheme then this would be a no brainier & i would think that Beane & McD have already told Dorsey that when the time comes the Dabol gets a HC position he will be automatically moved into the OC position with a big raise in pay .. He's proved himself first with Cam now with Josh it's time for him to take the next step & become a OC & i believe one day will be considered as a HC in the NFL but not before the Bills win multiple SB's !!

T master Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 That's it this dude needs to be on the Bills wall of fame i thought Fred was one of the most beloved Bills ever & Kyle is and always will be my favorite but i didn't see either of them in the stands last night or pictures like these of Fitz the guy is a Bills legend & fan favorite !! It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they brought him back in a back up role ! We know Mitch will more than likely be moving on after this year so the Bills will be in need of someone to fill the back up role at the QB position & hell Fitz is every bit as good as Barkley was !! We know the guy is mobile and we know his heart & that he loves the Bills, sure he has the tendency to put up some INT's but then there are the games when he wills his team to victory like the Raiders game 2 seasons ago . I think it would only be right that he retires as a Buffalo Bill you don't see him attending any Miami games do we you don't see him going to any Texans games but he always seems to be at functions that are around the Bills organization weather it be for former players or games like this ! Fitz is not only a former player but a Bills fan which he proved last night ! He could have been up in a cozy booth as a former Bills player but was he HELL NO he wanted to be out with the Bills Mafia for the full experience and then to remove his shirt with that young Bills fan that kid will always be a Bills fan (was that his son) If that in & of it self doesn't deserve wall of fame honors i don't know what does he is one of a kind in Bills history and will always be loved in Buffalo !! Fitz for the Bills Wall of Fame !! Make it so number 1 !! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
