yrly Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 We’ve done no better at the QB position. I kind of wonder what he’d have been like behind a good line with a few good receivers. He doesn’t look bad in Tampa with no real running game and a pretty bad line. 1

There is a certain truth to this concept. But no one sees Tampa Bay as a championship threat with Fitz at the helm.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 lol that's funny. People are calling our rookie QB a bust after 5 starts, and you think these short attention-spanners were gonna give Fitz the better part of a decade? Yeah, no.

CDogg20 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 I always liked Fitzy as a person. I loved having him in Buffalo. But he was maddeningly inconsistent 1

What you forget is fitz has guys to throw to that will catch the ball.
yrly Posted November 5, 2018 Author Posted November 5, 2018 Keep in mind I’m not discounting Allen at the moment. I’m talking about all these interims. By this point in his career I’d have expected Fitz to be mentoring Allen but prepared to fill in in the case of injury like we have now. With a few good receivers he’s putting up 3-4tds behind a pretty lousy line. Nothing would ever have prevented the Bills from getting some receivers and building a line.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 The guys on WGR are the worst. Allen was a top ten pick in most mock drafts and some had him going #1. I don't know if he is going to be good or not, but the revisionist history going on is beyond ridiculous.

Yeah, no. absolutely right. there were plenty of people lining up with torches and pitchforks towards the end of fitz's bills career. the negative nicknames, the contract, the mediocrity, the lack of arm strength, the wedding ring, harvard...there were plenty of fans and media that were ready to riot. and then there was buddy nix and him basically saying that they needed to move on at all costs. his time was at an end here. but i will always love me some Fitz! 1
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Just now, Dr.Sack said: Fitz was awesome. I enjoyed him on the team. If the Bills had Bucs offense to go along with this D We be good. If we had Bucs D along with Bill's offense 0-16
CincyBillsFan Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 You could say the same thing about the NY Jets and I suspect that after throwing 4 INT's today a lot of Jets fans are calling Darnold a bust and lamenting why they ever let Fitz go! Hell they probably also regret not taking Mahomes.

Yeah but fitz isnt much better than Peterman at this point.... Fitz just makes more tackles after throwing interceptions so he doesnt have as many pick 6's as peterman.
GreggTX Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! At least your whining has a sense of humor.
Buffalo Boy Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Fitsy through a beautiful pick in the first quarter today.
Nick the Greek Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Fitz is Fitz. He has heart. He likes to air it out. He can be exciting and fun to watch. But at the end of the day, he never wins when it counts. I don’t think he’s ever been to the playoffs. And you are forgetting the spirit crushing interceptions. Sure, he’s better than the dumpster fire we have right now. But he isn’t the answer, and he proved that when he was in Buffalo.

Fitz is a solid backup...Nothing more, nothing less imo.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) I liked Fitz and I liked Tyrod. Neither of them was the answer. Those of you that thought, “it can’t be worse” at the time are learning a hard lesson now. Franchise QB > Good QB > decent QB > functioning QB > Bills QB Fitz and Tyrod fit in that decent category. Allen may be good but the quality of QB play in Buffalo this year ranks with the worst in league history. Edited November 5, 2018 by Kirby Jackson 1

Face it everyone, we can tdraft QB's in Buffalo. Fitz would have saved us Orton, Manuel, Tuel, Brohm, Hobert, Kolb, Taylor, etc. 2
