Can we win with Fitz?

[casdhf]

Assuming we draft a LT and a new Front 7 next year, do you think we can win with Fitz?

I think we could get a wild card.

Maybe. We need a defense first and foremost I think. If we had played any defense the past few weeks we would have won. Prime example: Patriots and Jags games.

Problem with Fitz is, although he is playing well, pretty soon his over throws and sailing passes will turn into picks.

If what we've learned over the past few weeks with Fitzy under the helm is that the offense can score points and sustain drives to an extent. It's the TOP that other offenses are getting that is absolutely ****ing killing us. The 3-4 D needs either a competent coordinator who KNOWS HOW TO BLITZ or needs the right signal caller (Lewis, et ceteraesque) who can recognize offenses and force a damn punt.

The offense has it's weapons. Johnson and Evans are good. Nelson will need to prove himself. The line hasn't been terrible (cept Green). The defense needs the biggest retooling.

wake up, fitz is a good back up, THATS IT, we need a legit qb if we plan on acutally being in the playoffs...

I think we're worse at RT than LT. If you can replace our defensive front seven with a top five set of defensive linemen and linebackers, maybe, but Fitz needs a very strong team around him to be able to win consistently. I have a very low opinion of Fitz. There is just too high a risk that he's going to throw a wild pass at a critical moment that is going to end up in the hands of a surprised DB.

I don't think we can play past 8-8 ball with Fitz and that's IF we get all the fixes in before he retires from the sport.

I'm more interested in how we're drafting a new front 7.

Re: Can we win with Fitz?

Agreed, Oaf. We can't ultimately get where we want to be with Fitz. We can win some games with him, but if we want to win our division and compete in the playoffs, we need to develop a legit starter.

Fitz is a great back-up, but he cannot be developed much beyond where he is now, IMO.

I hope you don't mean a wild card next year? If so, please pass the blunt, because you must be smoking something reallllly special!

Stick Fitzpatrick on the Steelers, Jets, or the Ravens and he would go far. We are just so far away from that. We need lightning in a bottle. What it comes down to is whether or not we think Luck is that once in a bluemoon prospect at QB. He has to be special. If not i want to stick with Fitz and just try to build the D.

Johnson? For years Schobel was blasted as being a garbage time sack maters (not necessarily true), yet Johnson is good? Yeah, He's good when the game is already won by the opponent, and he gets to run free in a prevent defense. Otherwise, he's non-existent. Nelson at least has made some plays when the game was still not a sealed deal. I'll take the kid, David Nelson.

Can we win with Fitz? So far we have not.

If we don't draft a top QB with our first pick, I'm going to drive to Detroit and TP Ralph's house.

I think we could get a wild card.

If we had a top 5 D and no.1 running game.

The way I see it. If our defense was playing only decent football we would have 3 wins right now assuming Fitz started all 5 games.

I think we beat the Phins, Pats and Jags with decent defensive play and Fitz doing what he is doing.
