Ryan Fitzpatrick: Hall of Famer? or First Ballot HoFer?

[RocCityRoller]

These threads hyping and over-inflating Ryan Fitzpatrick are going to give me an aneurysm.

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.

Some of you posters need to get some perspective on a marketing arm of an entertainment business.

 

This isnt the Fed setting interest rates. This is basically arguing over which actors should have Academy Awards. It's just for fun. So let's have some fun.

It's the Hall of FAME, not Hall of Stats.

 

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.

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.

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?

[Dopey]

He's not making the Bills wall of fame, much less the NFL HOF.

Have you never seen Deuce Bigelow?

Here's a question.

 

If Ryan Fitzpatrick had entrance music, what would it be?

someone told me once that he went there, huh.

Perfect wonderlick 

Perfect beard

Perfect high pitched girly scream

 

No doubt.

Greatest non-franchise/journeyman QB...

 

Kurt Warner comes to mind.

 

 

 

Love Fitz though. 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.  Fitz was never that.

Perfect shirtless flexing at the Bills-Patriots playoff game in the crowd with the fans in 2 degree temps

No to both.
