I'm surprised interception and beard aren't on the list. The algo must be broken.

It might be players only 

 

Because beard and interception would absolutely be up there lol

It's not the only time you've told someone to open wide.

Not really surprised, the guy had a great career that out shined his actual capacity as a QB, I for one would love to sit down for dinner and drinks and shoot the ***** with him for a few hours, Ryan has a keen sense of humor, I could see emptying a fifth of good whiskey with him, who wants to join us?

And what exactly have I asked them to open wide?

I'd love to be there for the part where you tell him he outshined his actual capacity as a QB!!

 

especially after a bunch of whiskey

Fitz' comeback win against the Pats will always be one of my favorite Bills games.  We had lost 15 times in a row to them and when the Pats went up 21-0...if there was such a thing as having less than a 0% chance that would've been it.  But somehow he did it.  For those of us too young to really remember Kelly, Fitz is the 2nd best Bills QB we've seen.  A well deserved retirement.  Perhaps the most universally liked player in league history?

I hope he retires a Bill. He, Stevie, Moorman and Fred are my all time favorite drought players.

I’m quite sure Ryan is fully aware that that statement is totally true, and he would laugh out loud while pouring another round,

@WhoTom I cant see this image enough times.  Sign this man to a one day Buffalo Bills  Contract retire as a Bill  RF  ***Here Here***** all time Bills legend.

rawrrrrr lol he's the coolest guy ever. I think I'll post this since it was Fred Jackson that posted regarding it. HILARIOUS.

 

 

[BigAl2526]

I wouldn't be surprised if he pays a visit to the Bills training camp this summer.  Having another smarty veteran QB never hurts.

Fitz and Kay Adams doing Thursday Night Football together???  SIGN ME UP!

For those of you too young to remember, Kemp & Ferguson (both WOFers) are the 3rd & 4th best QBs we've seen.  Fitz doesn't come close to either of those 2 and if he hadn't been traded, Lamonica would be on the best Bills QB list too ahead of Fitzpatrick.

The Bills should offer him a 1 day contract. Fitz should retire a Bill. 

[Never NEVER Give-up]

Bean should sign him and let him

retire a Bill (sorry if someone else posted this).

he doesn't owe anyone or the game of football anything.  he's retiring healthy and wealthy.   good for him for living the dream.

 

As much as I wanted him to retire (as a backup) as a Bill and maybe win a championship with us, this is the right move for him.  Coming off an injury at his age, just take your respectable career earnings (and career in general) and go enjoy your life.

It honestly wouldn't even make sense for him to do this unless he truly cares about the Bills being his longest stop of all the teams he played for and the ill advised contract he was given here.

 

Either way never heard of a backup/journeyman doing this especially one that's played for nearly a 3rd of the teams in this league.

Fitz isn't a normal Journeyman.  His heart is everything that the Bills have stood for as long as I have been a fan.  Sure he wasn't the best player, and he didn't have a ton of success, but the guy is 100% all the time, and that is why he should retire a Bill.

[GreggTX]

He had some great moments in his career. I think the HOF chatter is absolute nonsense as was the suggestion of putting Kyle Orton on the WOF. Fitz is smart. I could well imagine him as a future coach, GM or as a sports commentator. I once heard him say he wanted to be a portfolio manager on Wall Street, but that would sully his good reputation.

...and Kyle, right?

[Scott7975]

Love Da Fitz.  Hope he retires a Bill.  I was hoping he came back here to be a backup.  Guy didnt have the arm talent but was smart as hell.  Had a great career IMO.

[ALLEN1QB]

Now he can grow that beard.

Add in Travis Henry and it should be pretty easy.

It would be great if the Bills could find a spot for Fitz in the organization.  The coaching staff is probably full, but he could be an "advisor" or "ambassador."  "Community relations?"  He doesn't need the money, but perhaps it's something that he would enjoy doing and that would add some value to the organization. 

 

Head of PSL sales?
