Pitta Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Its already been posted that some reporters were not impressed with Rian Fitzpatrick's skills at mini camp and the OTA's ...... well add our very own Vic Carucci to the list. "The Bills desperately need to upgrade their quarterback depth. It was actually painful to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick, the free agent they signed from the Cincinnati Bengals to fill the No. 2 role, throw passes during practice. His throws often lacked zip and accuracy. On multiple occasions, he would fire the ball at the feet of his receivers, or throw wobbly passes that were uncatchable. Gibran Hamdan, an incumbent backup, didn't do a whole lot better." http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8118054b Who's still out there that's worthy??? I happen to believe Carucci is pretty darn good so if he says it then we in trouble if Trent goes down. We need to address this ASAP. And please no Mike Vick. I'd rather have any of the posters play before Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayFinkle Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Have you seen a picture of Fitz? I'm surprised he doesn't have more coordination issues with a melon the size of his. "Look at the size of that boy's heed. I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick." "Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex." "Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. Has it's own weather system." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Lieutenant Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Never understood this signing. If Edwards goes down I'd rather put in Hamdan or a low round draft pick at QB and at least have a chance at catching lightning in a bottle than put in a guy like Fitz who has zero upside.

Heels20X6 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ouch. I'm not sure you can sink lower than that. I've got to believe it won't make financial sense to cut Fitzpatrick. How so? NFL contracts aren't guaranteed right so if he can't perform, then its time to cut him. Of course he's "Ivy league" so I guess he fits in with our head coach and I can't see him going anywhere regardless of poor performance....

Pitta Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think his lack of accuracy down the field comes from poor footwork. Didnt JP work on his footwork and mentioned that it helped his delivery?? could be wrong, but 'somebody' said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitta Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 The Bills seemed to give the first hint Monday that they're going to put a fairly interesting spin on the "Wildcat" offense this season. For a few non-contact plays early in practice, they had wide receiver Roscoe Parrish lined up in shotgun, behind center, while quarterback Trent Edwards was lined up wide to Parrish's right at receiver. Parrish played quarterback in high school, so he is quite comfortable at the position. On one snap Parrish took it himself and ran after faking a handoff to Lynch, and then handed off to Lynch on another play. The Bills are happy to make all of their opponents aware that they have the "Wildcat" package because, by the estimation of defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, Buffalo's defense had to devote a minimum of seven hours each week to prepare for "Wildcat" scheme of its opponents. Fourteen of those hours alone went into preparing to face the NFL's "Wildcat" pioneers and division foe, the Miami Dolphins.if TE goes down, we just wildcat em to death.
