Captain Hindsight Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) No. People need to let this go Fitz isn’t healthy. His hip is shot. He’s 40. He has said in interviews he doesn’t want to go any team he’s played for before. He isn’t coming back unless it’s as a fan Edited March 2, 2022 by Captain Hindsight 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 He made $10 Million last season, but maybe he's willing to take a steep pay cut (Trubisky only made $2.5 Million last year) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Season ending hip injury on a forty plus year old QB…, iirc what I read, it’s the same type of injury that ended Bo Jackson career, and he was younger, and way stronger and far more athletic than Fitz, it would be nostalgic for sure, but I don’t think it’s very likely to happen, jmo.

So that being said, who would you prefer to back up Josh? Winston may get another starting opportunity I'm guessing. So maybe Bridgewater, or Mariota? Not sure how much difference the cost between those 2 and Fitz though. Who do you got in mind? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Definitely not the right move at this time. But they will have to reshape the room. I still have my money on Kyle Allen to be Josh’s long term #2. Then a very cheap veteran, a guy like Brian Hoyer, who is a good guy to have in the room but will never touch the field.

NoName Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I don't want Fitz back. No thanks. Too hot and cold. They should bring back Matt Barkley. He was solid when he had to backup J.A.

Buffalo ill Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Being that curses are fantasy, it would be cool if he got a ring with the Bills as a backup then retired on a high note. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 love the fitz and all that goes with him and his legacy and mutual admiration of our fair city, but at age 40, coming back from hip surgery to heave TDs and picks galore as a throwback immobile pocket of yesteryear isnt going to happen, so lets leave it at that and expect him to retire as a beloved Bill now who we gonna get...Barkley, Andy Dalton, Jake Fromm. Mariota, Winston ???? god help us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I don’t feel nostalgia towards Fitzy in any way. I mean it’s cool he was at the playoff game. But my feeling are meh. Maybe I am just cold, but I feel like those were some decent teams and he wasn’t good enough. And that contract they gave him was so short sighted, and they just kept on passing up QBs in the draft because they thought he was the guy which all leads up to the forced picked of EJ Manuel. I’d want to sign Jim Kelly down the line to a one day contract so he could get a ring with the Bills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I wouldn't mind it personally. Loved Fitz as a player and he's a more than a capable back up/ spot starter. This is one situation Fitz can't come in and outplay a player of Josh's caliber and I'm not one for curses. Fan favorite, solid back up, locker room presence and an overall hilarious dude. Plus he's one of those players you cheer for to win a ring. Wouldn't mind at all 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Too much conflicting information to make a rational decision. Is he 'cursed', or is he blessed with the 'Kavorka'? 🤔 Could be more by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 There is another former Bills starting QB who could come here as a backup that isn’t named Ryan Fitzpatrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This thread is hilarious. Fitz, at about 2-3M, is a perfect backup for one season. He loves Buffalo, players love him, and he’d be another “guy in the room” helping Josh go even farther. Plus, who wouldn’t love to see Fitz get a chance, even as a backup, to finally go to the playoffs and possibly win a Super Bowl. We should root for the good guys of this world like Fitz. There is no “curse” — he has chosen teams with sketchy QB situations before because he wanted to be the starter. I think there’s a decent chance he is past that now and would welcome a “senior advisor” role in which he plays in mop-up duty or only when necessary. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I mention this every chance I get because I am trying to speak it into existence. Fitz can do what Aikman and Romo have done and be better at it. He's funnier, smarter, has a more engaging personality than any other person connected to the NFL that I have witnessed. He has played for 9 different NFL franchises and likely has connections to more owners, FOs, players and coaches than any other person in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Nope. Nothing to do with any "curse". He's coming off a pretty significant injury. Not really sure he's going to be 100% ready. Plus if he is ready to roll and playing this year there are enough teams that would be able to offer him a chance to play (and pay him much more for that). I do look forward to him attending the AFC Championship game in Buffalo this year, however. I'll even buy the guy one of those overpriced Labatts. 31 minutes ago, njbuff said: There is another former Bills starting QB who could come here as a backup that isn’t named Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Stop the romanticism, he was a GOOD , not much above avg qb who threw picks at terrible times and now he can’t run as well at age 40 post hip injury. He won one memorable comeback game here; he lost more by very bad picks and that happened at other stops as well. Great fan, great guy , leave it at that. Groom a young guy with a later pick, or let’s see who becomes available. Mitch Is still possible. The Amish rifle is shot , mind willing , body has not held up well All our picks won’t make it on this squad , take a flyer in a rookie, trade , check the cfl or the new league after the season is over. Can’t beat Father Time, or poor decision making in crunch time; he can’t even add to the qb room as Josh is on a way diff level than fitz ever obtained and we have a new qb coach as well. Let them do their job and scout the leagues for a backup hopefully we never use more than a series or two.

Simon Says Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 No,thanks. Forget the sentiment; he is barely in the top 10 of free agent QBs and I'm not sure he is a great fit, or 100% healthy. I'd prefer someone with a similar skill set as Josh,able to run a bit. I like Trubisky, but he is likely gone. How about Brissett or Mariotta? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
