msw2112 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Fitz played great for Miami 2 years ago, but suffered a serious season-ending injury last year. If he's healthy, I think he'd be a great backup. I have no concerns about the curse. The curse involves young guys trying to break through, not established veterans. Allen has broken through (for those that were not aware). Fitz aside, Mariota would be a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes too much sense honestly I would like that too but will he want $10M again? I’m sure he will want close to that and Bills can’t afford it.

Remember last year Chicago brought him in as their “QB1”, which everyone knew that wasn’t going to last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Sure, sign Fitz. But not as a player. He could be the coaching equivalent of the guy in a ska band that doesn't sing or play an instrument. He just dances and plays tambourine while McDermott claps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t looking good in camp or preseason. It was questionable he should even start week 1 as Heinieke outplayed all preseason and camp. And that was before a serious hip injury cost him his season. His future likely is in broadcasting at this point.

FilthyBeast Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'll never understand the Fitz obsession by some bills fans especially when you consider he was a big part of what was wrong with this franchise the prior 17 years before the current regime came here (i.e. rewarding a mediorce player with a massive contract because of a few good games). He's not coming back to Buffalo unless it's as a fan or playing on an opposing team so time to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have chickens and we named our rooster Dalton after that legendary bouncer who also happens to have a PhD in philosophy. And pain don’t hurt. Oh yeah, regarding the thread, of course we won’t get Fitz nor should we. But we should keep the legend of Fitz alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Fitz either aged like fine wine or is a perfect example of modern NFL rules/offense benefiting QB's. Fitz's first 8 years in the NFL: 59.5% completion percentage, 6.4 YPA, 92 TD's 81 INT's. Terry Bradshaw numbers Fitz's last 9 years in the NFL: 61.7%, 7.3 YPA, 131 TD's, 88 INT's. Jim Kelly numbers.

Better living through chemistry. His arm has gotten stronger with age... and I say good 4 him. The nfl is the most dirty league of PEDs and I tip the cap to anyone willing to keep up. Hgh is rampant as it should be. Great for anti aging. Limited risks.

machine gun kelly Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I seriously doubt he ends up here. He’ll either retire, or wait for a QB to get hurt. He won’t be ready until September anyway from the last report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be absolutely clear I trust ownership, management and the leadership on the team I am simply saying that I would have prefered Dalton to Keenum, what's so unbelievable?? Discussions on options is what these boards are for, if I suggested we fire Beane or McDermott your reaction would have been appropriate.

letsgoteam Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I was in favor of signing Fitz, but Case Keenum has got to be a top back QB in the NFL right? Probably top 3 or 5 backup in league? Then Barkley surely is a top QB3, lowend QB2? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
