I think the NFL rules Bills cannot stop it. Coordinator positions open for Dorsey cannot he blocked 

I would think Dorsey is a strong internal candidate, if not the favorite (at least for internal candidates) for the OC if Daboll leaves same as Washington (DL coach and former DC of Panthers) if Frazier leaves (and gets us two 3rd rounders)....having a succession plan in place is highly likely....

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). 

I think a lot of NFL players, especially if they come from huge college programs (like most of them do), really tune into the enthusiasm of Bills fans and the way we offer a college-like atmosphere at the NFL level.

 

You don't get that as a player in a lot of destinations, but you do in Buffalo, and they are appreciative for it.

He’s the reason we don’t have to deal with Brady anymore in the division. Brady stays if Fitz doesn’t beat him week 17 in ‘19. 

Sometimes I think fans here look past his shortcomings as a Bill (strictly in terms of quarterback play) because he's such a likable dude.

 

But one big thing I give him props for in his career is he's held his own more often then not in matchups versus Brady.  Besides that game you mentioned guess who was the last Jet starting QB to beat NE.

If Daboll gets a HC gig, Dorsey would probably be the Bills next OC.  Working with Allen and Co. would boost his profile considerably.  Moreso than in a new situation that needs to be built up.  I doubt he’s going anywhere.

All I am saying his choice. Bills cannot block an interview like in the past.

Fitz has the third highest Wonderlic score of any NFL player. 

 

Pat McInally, a punter also from Harvard has the only perfect score. 

 

Lackawanna native, Mike Mamula, a Boston College product had a 49, which convinced the Eagles to draft him over Warren Sapp, oops. 

 

I agree, Fitz if he wants to work, (and I'm sure his Harvard buddies are running his money, so he's kept most of it), will be a FO guy like Elway.

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 . 

He is pretty smart too, I think he went to Harvard.

Not quite under the heaters, they were behind him.  No chains, just his chest hair to keep him warm.  I have a pic and I am trying to size it small enough to post it here. It is legendary. (pic added)

I absolutely LOVE FitzMagic. I wish he had the skills to play longer for us. He would be a great backup QB for us for a year or 2. Josh is still growing and although he doesn’t need a vet QB anymore, having a guy like Fitz with his intelligence and experience could only help Josh especially if things get bumpy. Just like Josh, he’s a Buffalo guy through and through. It would be poetic to have him come back for a year and then retire as a Bill. Not just for the nostalgia factor, but I think if Josh were dinged for a game or 2 Fitz would be a solid fill in and can win a couple games.

Fitz would be a good backup in Buffalo. Mitch will likely be fighting for a starting job with some mediocre team next year.

 

NO!  Bite your tongue!!  EVERYWHERE that guy signs as as the backup QB, the starter gets hurt.  EVERYWHERE.

Haha. Fitz going down week 1 when finally getting another shot as undisputed starter has surely broken the curse!!

 

But what if it didn't?  Take No Unnecessary Chances with the Franchise, I say.

Somebody got a low score on the Wonderlic.  I am sure you are glad they are eliminating it in NFL.

Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who sat out most of the season with the Washington Football Team because of a hip injury, watched the Bills steamroll the Patriots in frigid Buffalo, where he played from 2009 through 2012.

I have taken the opportunity to mention how I think he could/would out do Tony Romo as a color analyst. He knows just as much football, has more humor/personality, has played for 9 different  NFL franchises and coaching staffs, has more relationships throughout the NFL world and likely has more league wide good will than any other human being on the planet.  He could make Romo kind of money doing that job which would trump the money he made as a QB.
