My feeling of the mood was that Fitz would be the best backup, qualified and fairly capable. What was the underlying hope was that someone (Trent, Levi, the ball boy, someone) would step up and show they would be a capable starter in this league.
For a personal point of view, my only gripe with Fitz is his maddening lack of consistent accuracy. What that said, I like to see Fitz succeed and play well. Maybe Gailey, the reported QB Guru, will now focus his attention of a guy who has some moxy, and needs to nail down his footwork to gain most consistent accuracy. After all, who else does Gailey have? Brohm? That doesn't seem likely at this point.
