BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&...c=16&pid=10 Scout.com has him listed as the 20th best QB available in FA
silvermike Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I guess it's better than Grosman It's really not.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I too think this will put us over the top. John Guy Rules! Didn't he actually play decently for the Bungles?
Kelly2Reed Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Let me be the first to say...CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Mark it down. Matt, Thanks for the laugh brother....
billsfreak Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Ehhh....not really much to choose from. I guess it's better than Grosman. I am not so sure about that, really. This guy is the bottom of the barrel.
Heitz Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I mean, you have to like what they say on on bb.com: "Fitzpatrick (6’2” 225) started 12 games completing better than 59 percent of his passes. He threw for over 1,900 yards with eight touchdowns and nine interceptions and a passer rating of 70. The Harvard product played his first two NFL seasons with St. Louis. “There comes a point where you can’t really improve or grow unless you’re on the field and last year was a big step for me in terms of getting those 12 starts,” said Fitzpatrick. Buffalo made no secret that they wanted to add a veteran quarterback as a backup to Trent Edwards, that understands his role. The coaching staff is hopeful that a veteran can help to mentor Edwards on the finer points of the game as he continues to develop. “I think it’s helped me a lot in my career to play behind Marc Bulger and Carson Palmer,” said Fitzpatrick. “I’ve been able to see how they approach the game, and in doing that I’ve been able to help them out. I think that’s what I’m going to bring here. Trent is still a young guy and I’m going to help him out with his preparation. I’m going to be his eyes when he’s on the field and I’m looking forward to that relationship.” Fitzpatrick is considered a superior student of the game with good character marks all the way around. "
DDD Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm getting flashbacks to Craig Nall. But hey, I'm sure he's a Jauron "character" type player.
Stussy109 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Yay! We signed...a...guy...who was a 3rd stringer for his entire career...up until last season... He is an upgrade to what we had last year.
Captain Quint Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 http://profootball.scout.com/a.z?s=127&...c=16&pid=10 Scout.com has him listed as the 20th best QB available in FA At least he wasn't 21st (AKA last)??? I'm running out of optimism today. Quint, out.
MattyT Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well, we've got a Stanford guy, a Harvard guy... and the 2008 Arab-American Athlete of the Year. We can't be stopped.
Heitz Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 "Crazy Legs"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Fitzpatrick
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 How can Coles say no now? I laughed pretty hard when I read this one.
SWVABillsFan Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well I'm getting a keg to celebrate this signing. Anyone want to help down it?
Lori Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 My God- Bills fans B word about JP then B word about when we sign his replacement! Nah. Some of us just see the opportunity for another snarky one-liner. Myself included. why isn't espn talking about our success with this signing! Tim's busy with a conference call. Guessing it's not because of this signing.
Rico Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 He is an upgrade to what we had last year.Agreed. Better him than JP.
rackemrack Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 he was ok last year, if he only has to start 2-3 games a season and wins one its an improvement over JP

Spiderweb Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 This simply sucks, sucks, and more sucks....
BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 That's called putting lipstick on a pig. That should be the tagline for BB.com
