ALF Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) After that last injury Fitz should retire (as a Bill) become a coach if he wants to.

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 He's turning 40 this season, has always been considered a Journeyman level talent, and is coming off the worst injury of his career. I know Bills fans have a soft spot for him, but it's pretty self explanatory as to why he doesn't have a job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 7 hours ago, Buffalo Boy said: He’s a million years old and semi popped his hip out of its socket. That is not a common or easy injury to recover from I would assume. Fortunately you are not a doctor. It was a Hip Subluxation which I had from a car accident. Often this is treated without surgery but his doctors choose to be aggressive like Fitzpatrick and use surgery to help speed up treatment. Originally he was put on IR with possibility of return but Washington choose to go another way because he was not recovering fast enough with recovery time closer to high estimates and Taylor Heinicke was doing well and they did not want to upset them apple cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think a lot of you are unjustifiably doubting Fitz. Look at the projected backups in the NFL for 2022— the guy would be better than almost all of them. I think the reason he hasn’t signed is he is in the group of vets this year that are going to let the rosters shake out a bit, and then will probably sign with the best situation. I could even see him being a post week-1 signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetkings01 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Fitz is bad luck. Three things are for certain when he’s added to your team: #1 - Your starting QB will miss multiple weeks with an injury forcing Fitz to start. #2 - He’ll get hot for a few weeks giving the coaching staff and fanbase a false sense of hope. #3 - He’ll fizzle out and your franchise will miss the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Fitzy's doing OK with rehab. I think this What's Beane's saying "the best ability is availability"? Fitzy has always been durable and available. He's played through broken ribs. He did break a leg in 2014 but that was game 15. Until..... the Washington Commanders paid him $10M last season and he played 1 game. It was supposed to be a 6-8 week injury, but it became season ending. There may be complications, and it may be career ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Definitely top 5 in overrated ex-Bills. Good guy, had a few moments here, but that's it. Our standards were so low maybe no one noticed. He did have that one good season with the Jets.

Aaaaaannndd, he’s pushing 40 and coming of a season ending injury and the worst injury of his career ( I believe). He’s always been Meh in a cumulative sense. When he’s on, he’s a world beater but you never know when the switch will flip from Fitzmagic to Shitspatrick….. but you know it will.

That is a coaching issue. Not Fitz issue. Maybe you would rather have a crap backup so you have no hard decisions when the starter is ready? I get what you are saying but I do not agree.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I think most teams assumed he was done. He was cheering for the bills in the playoffs... while on IR for Washington. Seems like something a retired guy would do. He also dislocated his hip last year and just has been banged up quite a bit the last few years. If he comes back my guess is it'll be as a late addition in camp or mid-season due to a run of injuries. He's made 80 mil over his career - take out a bunch for taxes and agents and you're still looking at quite a lot of money. He also has 7 kids per his wikipedia.
