Freddie's Dead Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Fitz even with the hip injury is better than half the starters in the NFL. But he's too smart to risk walking the rest of his life for just a few more million. Enjoy retirement Fitz, you earned it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz hit the wall? Never heard of a QB hitting the wall in their 7th year(Besides Gus Frerotte doing it in his 4th year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're being mostly facetious with the Gus Frerotte stuff but yes QBs do hit the wall... and in some cases they plateau which is slightly different. Sometimes (I believe this applies to Wentz) the player has been solved for by the league and simply can't rise above the fact that there's a book on him... he's being game planned for and doesn't have the answers. So in the case of plateauing it's different than the loss of physical skills which we often see in aging QBs who've hit the wall. Anyways that Frerotte incident was comic/tragic. He never seemed like the same player after that self-inflicted injury. Edited October 26, 2022 by Sierra Foothills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also could’ve been the last straw. Regardless, the results don’t seem worth it.

I figure they were mostly done, she gave him an ultimatum, retire or I'm gone, he obliged, but then he realized it was over and now ran back to the NFL as an out, maybe to protect her image too (since the narrative is largely that he NEEDS this, it's HIS life, blah blah blah). It may be why the rest of his team seems to be treating this season as The Bridge to Nowhereville. They know he's on borrowed time and that probably makes his virtual tantrums even more annoying.

Spiderweb Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 20 hours ago, TheFunPolice said: That 28-3 SB comeback ONLY happened because Matt Ryan turned the ball over in his own territory and IMO the Falcons would have actually won that game against us last fall had it not been for that penalty on Ryan. Some guys just don't get the moment. As far as Fitz, I think that really nasty hip injury he suffered was probably enough for him to say it was time to move on. especially at age 40 (in a few weeks). That sounded REALLY painful. I do recall him saying in an interview that his mind was still willing but his body wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Fitz at the age of 40, can play better than 1/3 of the current starting QB's? IMO...no friggin' way. I think the love for Fitz(shows up at a Bills game with shirt off, etc...) is clouding the judgement of some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Fitz should be our backup. It would absolutely perfect. But then that probably means Allen would get hurt so that’s a huge reason for him not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz was actually improving with age. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FitzRy00.htm without a doubt, he’s a better starter than Zach Wilson, Fields, probably Max Jones, maybe Goff, whoever Washington starts, the Colts guys.

I thought that ATL TD would have put them up 2 scores https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=401326569 They would have been down 22-29 with 5 minutes left in the game, assuming a TD and extra point.

No way we will ever know since he is retired, but the names you listed are 1/2 of what some were speculating. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Fitzpatrick could start for perhaps the Browns, Colts, Commanders, Panthers, or Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
