BillsFanForever19 Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 I misread the title and thought this was about the Bills Wall of Fame - and I still voted no. The NFL HALL of Fame? C'mon. That's ridiculous! Some of you posters really need to get some perspective and balance your love of former players versus the reality of who/what they are/were. 1 1 Quote

This is basically arguing over which actors should have Academy Awards. It's just for fun. So let's have some fun. Quote

It's merely another branch of Marketing for an entertainment business. Put him in! It will never happen. Im guessing you’re just being sarcastic and pulling people’s leg. He certainly did not transcend the game, or anything else of note. He’s a great interesting guy who’s been a backup more than a starter. Dawk, you have to be kidding. 1 Quote

Tell me who, at any position, has made the Hall of Fame as a Career Backup and occasional Bridge QB simply because he's "famous"? I'm all for "having fun" and debating points. But there has to be some merit to it. To use your analogy, you're arguing why you think Rob Schneider should have an Academy Award. Quote
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 So now that Fitz is hanging them up I have two questions. Who takes his place as capable starting QB in the NFL who jumps around from team to team? Don't know that there is one currently but maybe Minshew can become that guy now that he has left the Jaguars. Jacoby Brissett has a shot. Especially if Watson gets a major suspension. Who is the current equivalent of Fitz at any other position in the league? Quote
Dopey Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 He's not making the Bills wall of fame, much less the NFL HOF. Quote

His roast of Fred Jackson belongs in some type of HOF Warner was only a journeyman until he stepped onto the field. Once there he proved he was among the best in the NFL.

DrDawkinstein Posted Friday at 02:28 PM Author Posted Friday at 02:28 PM Keeping this thread alive for the day he finally gets notice on his induction... Quote Retirement On June 2, 2022, Fitzpatrick announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons. Anyone know if this means he's eligible in 2026 or 2027? I need to start planning my PR blitz. 1 1 Quote

I say YES. First, it's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Stats, or Hall of Super Bowl Victories, or Hall of Franchise QBs. Second, I'd argue that he is the Greatest non-Franchise/Journeyman QB in NFL history. Third, folks say a good way of measuring worthiness is "If you were telling the Story of the NFL, would he be included?", and I say YES. When talking about this decade how could you not talk about the dude who has unseated and benched numerous 1st rd "Franchise" prospects? Fourth, ok lets talk stats. Fitz just passed Troy Aikman, Steve Young, and Phil Simms on the All-time Passer list. He is 600 yards away from passing Tony Romo, and less than 2000 yards away from leap-frogging Jim Kelly. If he starts this entire season, he'll likely end up #26 on the all-time passing list. He's a great dude, and a heck of a character. The campaign starts here. FITZ FOR HALL OF FAME! I get it was exciting to see Allen win the regular season MVP...but to still be drinking and going hard this early in the morning should be reserved for when Allen wins and raises the Super Bowl MVP trophy 1 1 Quote

That’s funny. A clip from Scanners. That movie was horrible in the early 80’s, but kind of funny. This thread is silly. He’s a good rara guy for the Bills and fun overall, but a journeyman. That’s it. HOF is a joke. Quote
