Alphadawg7 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 OK. I'll take this ceiling. On the list of things this team needs to improve, QB is down there, especially when you factor in leadership. This TEAM got better the instant Fitz took over. That would take next to forever for a rookie. BTW, 316 yards, 4 TDs. Yes, it is way better with Fitz then Trent...totally agree...I really like Fitz and how he plays, just not as our long term answer unless he fixes his accuracy issues.

John from Riverside Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 Huh? Wasnt talking just about Fitz, was talking about the misuse of this comment I see all the time..."if a rookie did this, you would say this"...rookies and vets are not fair comparisons as rookies are still learning to adjust to the game and how to play at this level where a Vet has had much more experience to better evaluate his potential and cieling. Case in point, not one GM in football would take Fitz over Bradford right now despite the better stats. But since you went there...are you saying Fitz doesnt have accuracy issues? How about the 10 to 14 point gift to start the game that Cincy gave us? You know the INT that was overturned by a late hit that led to our first 7 points that easily would have been 3 to 7 points for Cincy? Big props to him for his 2nd half, but that doesnt change the fact that Fitz has accuracy issues...sorry Either way, it was fun to watch and a great 2nd half after an embarrasing first half by all our units. Let me ask you this Alpha and see if you agree......if Fitz was a accurate QB all of the time then he would already have been going to multiple pro bowls and we never would have been able to get him away from Cinci know? My point is you are right.....he throws a bad ball here and there....and he throws picks....but his other strengths are making up for that. That is why I am thinking we need to go heavy line on both sides of the ball.....linebackers.....and a GOOD Tight End. Im not sure we would have lost a game since Fitz took over if we had a dominant defense that created turnovers.

True. No one is arguing that. But, that really is his only major problem. My question, and one I can't answer, is can he improve his accuracy over time? None the less, all QBs have bad games or bad halves and throw bad passes. The question is are they more bad than good? So far this season, I would say Fitz has been more good than bad. So, I'll readily take him as our starter. But, I do hope he can correct some of his accuracy issues.

shoretalk Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Cuz im on the West Coast and its all I got... WECK needs to do a post game show ... someone needs to for all of us who live out of town ... Huge comeback ... Fitz poured it on and yet Bulldog still is dreaming his bizarre dreams! I think it's time for him to start a post game list game of people's favorite cities to visit because Bulldog seems more comfortable doing that then talking BILLS football after a second win in a row (I know it's not the stuff of Super Bowl titles but come on ... we want to savor this moment because these mixed up Bills have actually beaten two NFL opponents in a row including a come from behind road win where after they got screwed by the officials at the end of the 1st half the team could have just given up.).

Kelly had more than his share of bad games. The great QBs overcome them. Too early to crown Fitz but he's shown me that he can make clutch plays. Still 6 more games to judge. PTR
jr1 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 dog sees Andrew Luck slipping away and is reacting accordingly
John from Riverside Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 Time to start looking at Bowers
The Big Cat Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Fitz's averages over 16 games = 3,966 yds and 36 TD's. He's not that good.
zow2 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 What is a reasonable number of subpar games for a QB in a 16 game season? Really. I know Brady, Manning, brees, Ben, Rivers, etc don't have 16 great games a year. What is a fair number to compare Fitz to?
UlyssesNorris Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) why in the heck are you listening to WGR? Could not agree more!If you are a bills fan do yourself a favor and STOP listening to WGR! you will be very happy you did. Edited November 21, 2010 by UlyssesNorris
Malazan Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 dog sees Andrew Luck slipping away and is reacting accordingly You mean the same Luck who's said nothing to indicate he will be in the draft?
Arkady Renko Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 To be fair, I will admit that I was all off the Fitz bandwagon after the first half and the back on it at the end of the game. I am such a fickle fan.

FightinIrishBills Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 They are employees of the Sabres. Howard Simon was blaming the Bills for the fans early season disgust of the hockey team. I actually like Howard Simon and Jeremy White, but that was atrocious. It actually made me call in and tell them that no, people were disappointed with the Sabres because the Sabres were playing like a big sack of crap at the time.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 why in the heck are you listening to WGR? +1
Peter Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Fitz has played very well. There is no reason to dismiss what he has done for the Bills. In fact, one of the interceptions today was not really his fault. Evans did not come back for the ball and let the CB beat him to it. I go back and forth on this. I think Luck is going to be a very good QB in the NFL. Unfortunately, I am not convinced that he would declare for the draft if we were to have the number one pick. Regardless of what happens, we are going to have a productive QB next year (Fitz) and be able to fill a whole by taking the best player available.
