Nick the Greek Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Maybe he could teach Josh to throw game ending interceptions. HARD PASS!

BillsfaninChicago Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Definitely bring him back to do another roast. He was hilarious when he spoke at Fred Jackson’s. As a back up QB I think we have better options. 1
skibum Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I bet he would do it for $4-5 million. He could possibly make more elsewhere, but he is filthy rich already, loves Buffalo, and probably won't be playing much.
T&C Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Yes. Once this covid thing hopefully winds down It would be cool to have a few beers and wings with him at Gabriels Gate. Other than that, no. 1 1
DCofNC Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I’m a huge Fitz fan, but be it coincidence or not, the guy he’s there to back up seems to get hurt an awful lot and we don’t need that, so purely out of caution, he’s not welcome here. That said, he’s awesome, I would absolutely love to have him back and he’s one of the best back ups maybe ever, say nothing about right now. From a talent stand point, you definitely want him. I guess I’m probably in the minority, but I’d see what Fromm has before getting too concerned. You can’t replace what Allen is doing, so any serious injury, it’s season over anyway. It’s always the hope, nothing happens to JA. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 52 minutes ago, JohnNord said: I came across this on Twitter: Based on Josh’s injury last week and the heartbreaking injury to Dak, how would you feel about Fitzpatrick coming back to Buffalo in 2021 to end his career as a Bill? By next season Josh should be solidified as the unquestioned starter, so I don’t feel Fitzpatrick would be a threat, especially since Josh and Fitz seem to be friendly. I also think he’d be an excellent teacher to help Josh continue to get better. On the other hand, the cap hit for Fitz would ($7-$8M) would be considerably higher than what we are paying the 2 QB’s on the roster combined. With a monster deal for Allen on the horizon, as well as potential contract extensions for Milano and maybe Edmunds, the cap situation could get tight and the team may not want to invest that much in a QB. The other question, is whether Fitz would want to come Buffalo, where he wouldn’t be given a chance to compete? Or would he look for a better situation behind a QB on shaky ground? You might also argue that Josh doesn’t need Fitzpatrick around as a mentor and could get by with a backup like Barkley. Either way, as a fan of Fitzpatrick, I would love to see him finish out his career in Buffalo. TBH, while I don't want to be Superstitious (only a Little Stitious), Fitz has this horrible track record of winding up as the starting QB everywhere he goes. And he's so confident and likeable that apparently it's very hard to sit him and let the rightful starter back in especially if said guy was struggling - and for various reasons, even great QB struggle from time to time. I think Fitz is a great guy and when he's hot, he can be hard to beat. But I'd rather take our chances with a lesser backup QB rather than lite Ryan "Jinx the Starter" Fitzpatrick back in our building.

I want him back in Buffalo when he's ready for the broadcast booth. I think he'd be an awesome TV guy for the wardrobe alone. I love him and I love your idea, but I just don't think it is going to happen. He has made ( and will continue to make in the foreseeable future) more than $70,000,000 playing football. I am sure he is quite comfortable and although I believe he will work I don't think he really needs a "job" or next career, per say. He might do some commentary and may be back for events, but I just think if he does anything he is going to do it out West or down South, on his terms because he can afford it. EDIT: Yeah, $71,541,098 in his career, $8 million this year and he is guaranteed to get that somewhere next year, as well. Edited October 12, 2020 by dollars 2 donuts

Does it actually have some sort of logical neurologically connected basis in your brain? 1
TBBills Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) No... When Ryan Fitzpatrick is on a team something happens to make him starter. Better off drafting guys always better when you have a franchise QB as a starter. Edited October 12, 2020 by TBBills 1

Then go into the HALL OF FAME as a Bill. Oh! Oh! OH! FITZMAGIC! Well he did win AFC Player of the Month (September 2011) for the Bills, so he is a potential Hall of Famer...

Rochesterian Bills Fan Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Nah but sign him to a one day when he retires, I'd love it if he could hang up his cleets as a Bill.

Hap basically everything you said it's just superstition fitz plays because he goes to teams with mediocre quarterbacks and he can beat them out. He would be a tremendous backup and a hundred times better than Berkley or fromm What rightful starter has he ever taken the job from and never given it back? Even Winston got his job back Fitz would be a great asset to our quarterback room
