‘Amazingly, Fitzpatrick has started at least half of his team’s games in each of the last nine seasons. The only other quarterbacks to do that – Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco and Eli Manning – are all Pro Bowlers or Super Bowl winners who have spent the entire span with one team. Fitzpatrick has played for seven, and only one brought him in with a chance to compete for the No. 1 job.’
