Buffalo Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Gotta feel for Fitz . Having a solid year so far. 18 1 1
YoloinOhio Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 Completes a couple short passes against the Jests in garbage time and voila 7
Captain Hindsight Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Surprised considering how well Fitz has played, but this was going to happen sooner or later 1
clayboy54 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Wow! That is really a surprise to me. Fitzy was having a really good season. Why not let the kid learn while you can and put him in when Fitz inevitably cools off? This could be a real mistake if Tua has some rookie struggles. 10
LabattBlue Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 If this is a HC decision, he is a joke. If the decision is coming from the owner or GM, the HC is in a bad situation. 9
YoloinOhio Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 I think they must have been getting a lot of pressure to do this with Herbert and Burrow out there playing so well.

TheBrownBear Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Smart move. Fitz isn't leading any team to the promised land, so get your highly touted rookie out there in this current, more controlled, gameday environment without fan pressure/noise to deal with. Also, you can keep him upright now since the league is allowing offensive linemen to tackle defensive players without any repercussion. 1
FlaFitz1 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Makes no sense to me. They are 3-3 and their next 3 are Rams, Cardinals and Chargers. If they are going to make the switch they should do it after that stretch, if they out of the playoffs and let him start against Denver. That way he'll have that start and then starts against Jets and Bengals before facing the Chiefs, Pats, Raiders and Bills. 2
YoloinOhio Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 First game will be vs Aaron Donald 😬 1 1

Maybe they always planned to make the change at the bye week? That's probably the main reason. Want to show the NFL that their shiny new toy is just as good as theirs. 3
Process Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Uhhh thanks Miami? Fitz has them firmly in the playoff and division race. This makes absolutely no sense. 5
2003Contenders Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Yea, this makes 0 sense. I knew eventually the kid was going to get in there -- but only after they were eliminated from the playoffs or Fitz started stinking up the joint. Well, right now they are just 1 game out of first place and Fitza has been playing great. If Tua gets in there and starts making rookie mistakes -- the outcry from fans will be to go back to Fitz. What will that do to the psyche of the young QB?
BullBuchanan Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 With the Phins one game out of the division lead and Fitzpatrick playing well, this is mind blowingly stupid. Maybe it works and I eat crow, but right now they have to like their odds of making the playoffs. 1
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Isn't making Fitz the backup practically guaranteeing Tua gets hurt? Realistically, Fitz is ranked 18th in my efficiency ratings as of this week. Perhaps the Dolphins feel they can do better. 1
loyal2dagame Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Fitzmagic getting the Flutie treatment in Miami.... 3 4 1
YoloinOhio Posted October 20, 2020 Author Posted October 20, 2020 I don’t appreciate their derivation from the Fitz Cycle. 1 8 1

I wouldn't be so quick to make such declarations. Tua would have been the first or second pick in the draft if not for his hip injury. Given what we've seen from Burrow and Herbert, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tua excel from the jump.
PetermansRedemption Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 This is just blatant tanking. Fitz has your team to 3-3 and is playing solid. Tua completes 2 passes against the Jets and doesn’t even look good doing it. 1
