Prickly Pete Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 He signed a 2 year $6.5 million contract with the Titans. I doubt he makes less than that here to do the exact same job as a backup here. It's not as if the Titans view him as a replacement to Locker. So again, how is it not a little weird that he turned us down to sign as a backup in Tennessee? You will have to figure it out for yourself.
Dibs Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Easy for me to cheer against him. He held us hostage for two years. How do you figure that?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Easy for me to cheer against him. He held us hostage for two years. Wow. For real? The guy comes in here as a 7th round pick backup, and when the starter goes down the toilet, jumps right in and makes the offense move. Fitz played with a lot of heart and guts, was a down to earth community guy, and showed us some flashes despite obvious physical shortcomings. Not sure you can hold it against him that the team didn't try to go out and try to get someone better.
birdog1960 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 You will have to figure it out for yourself. byrd, fitzpatrick and anybody else that wants to get the hell out of dodge, bad. bills organization good. it's obvious isn't it.
Prickly Pete Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 byrd, fitzpatrick and anybody else that wants to get the hell out of dodge, bad. bills organization good. it's obvious isn't it. Huh? Go back and read my posts.
birdog1960 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Huh? Go back and read my posts. should've linked to bangarang. my point is that it's not all that difficult to understand why anyone with another option would choose to play for someone other than the bills at this point in time or in the last decade or so. i keep thinking back to archie manning's recent espn documentary. ya think he'd trade a few bucks for playing for a better organization than the saints of his era?
Bangarang Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 You will have to figure it out for yourself. Figure what out exactly?
Prickly Pete Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Figure what out exactly? Why Fitz would leave.
Bronc24 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Wow. For real?

By the way, anyone honestly think Fitz is bringing the Titans back in this game? Put me down as a "no".
26CornerBlitz Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 For real. 6 win ceiling. By the way, anyone honestly think Fitz is bringing the Titans back in this game? Put me down as a "no". You just know the pick six is coming.
Bronc24 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 How do you figure that? We kept trotting him out. Perennial 6 game winner.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 You guys see that Munchak challenge? You should never challenge the spot of the ball on a short yardage play. The refs will never feel comfortable enough to reverse it.
benderbender Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Wow. For real? The guy comes in here as a 7th round pick backup, and when the starter goes down the toilet, jumps right in and makes the offense move. Fitz played with a lot of heart and guts, was a down to earth community guy, and showed us some flashes despite obvious physical shortcomings. Not sure you can hold it against him that the team didn't try to go out and try to get someone better. For real. The down to earth community guy won't rework his deal for the benefit of the team. Then goes to another team to be their backup. It's not like he was going elsewhere to start. How do I know he wasn't going to start anywhere else? We couldn't get a trade for him. He knew he was going to be a backup wherever he went. But he ditched us to be another team's backup despite obvious physical shortcomings. I hold his selfish actions against him.

He was asked to take a pay cut and a demotion, and declined. Selfish? Hardly.
Bangarang Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 He was asked to take a pay cut and a demotion, and declined. Selfish? Hardly. But he took those same things from another team....
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 He needed a change of scenery, and the Bills needed to move on. It's silly to try to make it into a mistake on the part of either side.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 But he took those same things from another team.... But it is a different team. I know that if I was asked to take a pay cut and demotion at work, the smart thing to do would be to get out of there, even if it meant taking a similar lateral position elsewhere.
Boatdrinks Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 But he took those same things from another team.... The fact is that Fitz was willing to stay and take a pay cut. He asked for guaranteed $ and the Bills would not give it to him. He was willing to compete for the starting job. Bills should have kept him or T-Jax, not gotten injury prone Kolb.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 For real. 6 win ceiling. By the way, anyone honestly think Fitz is bringing the Titans back in this game? Put me down as a "no". Fumbled kickoff, dropped passes, D getting gashed...yup, Fitz cost them another game.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Great drive by fitz. Need an onside kick here.
