What are the odds Fitzpatrick is the opening day QB in 2010

[BuffaloBlitz83]

I hope it's Brohm or a rookie. No real good veterans are available.

I hope 0%

Definitely 0%

Re: What are the odds Fitzpatrick is the opening day QB in 2010

about 10%....that 10% pretty much is my generic amount that i put out that takes injuries or other unforeseen events into account. there is a chance, but it's not a very good one.

9%... He'll likely get the rest of the starts for the rest of the season. If he plays well who knows.

50% of Brohm
35% of rookie from the draft
3% Patrick Ramsey
3% Michael Vick

the only reason they went with fitz as the backup is to not threaten the savior, meaning hes not starting qb material

edwards has a better chance than fitz. i can at least see trent thrown in a training camp competition, fitz would be out of place in that crowd imo

Close to 0%.

God help the Bills if it is more than 0%.

Which is why it makes 0% sense he is starting now. What are Edwards' chances? 33%? So why wouldn't we let him either increase those chances significantly or reduce it to zero based on the next 7 games?

This is like judging Losman after 8 starts IMO in 2005. Edwards played starting caliber football last year, we fire Schonert (which has shown documented effects on an offense) and field the 2nd worst OL in football, and 6 starts in, the guy isn't a NFL caliber player anymore?

I agree with you in that I think they should let Trent either dig his own grave or crawl out of it. Fitz should only be in there if Trent goes down with an injury.

That being said, it appears Trent has become gun shy, whether it is because of the offensive line, loss of confidence, coaching, injuries or a combination thereof, he definitely is not the same QB that started off so well at the beginning of last season. It sucks that he has regressed, but that appears to be the reality.

Trent is done. He dug that grave already and hes not coming out of it. Captain Checkdown is done

New coach may be able to fix Trent. Fitz is what he is.

RF is getting a chance to play his way onto the roster next year. TE has had his chance and struggled. RF hasn't played that well but the team won twice with him at the helm. I expect TE is not right in practice and the team wants to go with RF too so they go with him. I'd tell TE to get on the field and perform myself but what do I have to say about it...

Re: What are the odds Fitzpatrick is the opening day QB in 2010

I'd like to draft a nice prospect in '10... I just don't want to reach. I'm willing to go round 2... maybe round 3 for value.

Brohm makes that a possibillity. Sort of reminds me of the Chargers 5 or so years ago. Breese (Brohm) struggled his 1st few years. Chargers drafted Manning (traded for Rivers). Breese had 2 break out type years and Rivers learned from the bench.

Of course... My hope is that Brohm parallels Breeze and the rookie parallels Rivers.

how many guys do you think are really going to parallel breeze? I think you are already reaching.
