Yep, and he has quite a few less TD's than Fitzpatrick. Granted he is a rookie.
The teams that drafted Wilson, Tannehill, Luck and Robert Griffin had Matt Moore, Tarvaris Jackson, Curtis Painter and Rex Grossman as their QB's. Each of them had less TD's total last year than Fitz has currently in 10 games..
I have this conversation with friends and family consistantly.
I understand that we need and want a franchise QB, we crave it to have our own Brees, Manning, or RG3. Most people believe drafting a rookie qb first overall will transform this team. That it will give the team the "energy" to win games. It's a bunch of BS. Our biggest need right now is on defense, coaching, players whatever you think it is but it is simply defense. Changing our QB situation will not win us more games, because we score the points required to win. Our defense does not prevent the number of points required to win. We will never be good with a 30pts allowed a game defense.
I do agree we need to draft a QB, we should have drafted one in this past draft. Let's go out and pick up a QB in the draft next year, but please oh please don't demand him to start next year! Give him time to develop and let Fitz do his thing under a hopefully improved defense next year.
Give Fitz a break. Damn.
I read this site without posting, just skimming what people are saying, and this time I had to say something.
