Fitz could still start for a bunch of teams!

[BisonMan]

Looking at the starters and the horrible QB play we’re seeing, I count upwards of 11 teams where I think Fitz would outplay the current starters. Come on Fitz, hang up the mic and add another jersey to your closet! 😁
 

What’s your number?

[Warcodered]

He'd definitely make football more interesting; didn't he maybe need a surgery that he might not have gotten since decided to retire?

[DCofNC]

If he wanted to, no doubt he could.   The Colts should have been calling him instead of the corpse of Matt Ryan.

That spike of the football, with his knee down, @ the Bills one yard line, was his defining career moment! 😇

[TheFunPolice]

That 28-3 SB comeback ONLY happened because Matt Ryan turned the ball over in his own territory and IMO the Falcons would have actually won that game against us last fall had it not been for that penalty on Ryan.

 

Some guys just don't get the moment. 

 

As far as Fitz, I think that really nasty hip injury he suffered was probably enough for him to say it was time to move on. especially at age 40 (in a few weeks). That sounded REALLY painful.

Yeah could see him in indy

[Maybe Someday]

He did an interview before the season started and said he just physically can’t anymore due to lingering issues from that hip injury.

Yes.

 

I'm sure at this point that Fitz is just hoping to avoid hip replacement surgery.

 

And according to Spotrac, Fitzmagic made over $82 million during his 17 NFL seasons.

 

I think he's good with retirement.

also a lot of free jerseys.

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

the Amish rifle will not return.

 

he is content with retirement.

 

a Harvard man has brains unlike the boy from Michigan, that doesn't know when to quit.

Fitz is smart, he needs his health and family time more than $15m.

 

Pure speculation, but breaking a hip is one of 2 bones that you can break and bleed to death from. I'd have to think that made things feel pretty real at his age. Did his time overlap with Alex Smith at all? I think they passed shoulders one in, one out, atleast.

 

Too bad Thursday night games suck cause as much as I love dude, I can't spend 3hrs on Chi/Wash type games, to catch him on the mic

It would be interesting to find out if Brady and Gisele were already having problems (likely) or if it was his reversal on retirement.  It also could’ve been the last straw.  Regardless, the results don’t seem worth it.

Is this Fitz, or Tua? Given his dark magic, I bet Tua gets hurt again if Fitzy just vacations in South Beach. 

[Chicken Boo]

So people see guys like Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Russell Wilson (?) hitting the wall and think a 39 year old Fitz would fare better?

[blacklabel]

Yeah, he'd probably do alright on a few teams that need some stability at QB. 

 

I do like him on Thursday night foosball, I think he has a knack for it. Also has a good personality for that stuff. 

[John from Riverside]

That beard could start for at least three

He would enter the chat as Josh Allen's backup...

He would also have to pay Diggs for #14

Probably shouldn’t have called either of them….

Fair.  They either needed to go all in on Watson or let Ehlinger have a crack at it, I don’t think they are as good as they think they are to be honest. If they had a guy like,  oh Josh Allen, they would be pretty good, but that guy isn’t walking around looking for a place to play.

 

Good news, they should have a fairly high pick to go after their next QB.

The play your talking about would’ve made it a 7 point deficit for the Falcons mid 4th quarter…. Not sure why you think they would’ve won had he not committed that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. 

 

 

 

Maybe I misremembered. I thought that ATL TD would have put them up 2 scores
