Re: Does Fitzpatrick fit the "Bill" in 2011?
Good article T-Long,
Myself personally, I'm happy with Chan Gailey's head coaching and OC skills, but not so happy when it comes to his player evaluation, especially at the QB position. Brian Brohm is garbage, Trent Edwards more of the same and Ryan Fitzpatrick is a turnover machine who simply doesn't have the accuracy to become a playoff caliber QB in the NFL in my opinion (successful one anyway) To make matters worse, Buddy Nix judging from his first season as GM here in Buffalo is not going to help matters. Buffalo needs a pass rush, Nix lets Aaron Schobel walk, the last thing the team needed was a RB, Nix drafts a RB in the 1st round. The O-line and DE position was not addressed properly. The Bills haven't seen a quality, pass catching TE for so long I've almost forgotten what its like to have one
Needless to say I'm not near as happy with our GM as I am with our Head Coach Chan Gailey.
The Buffalo Bills need a franchise signal caller and If the new regime chooses to ignore the fact or continue to make blunders like we have for the last decade then I expect more of the same thing we have seen for the last ten plus years.Last edited by Figster; 01-06-2011, 11:09 AM.

Nice piece. I like it. Although I'm one of the fans who sighs when a CB is mentioned as the #3 pick. I wouldn't be upset with the move just tired of the CB-as-1st-round-pick train."Talk is cheap, we all know that. It's like I've always said, don't tell me about the labor pains, just show me the baby. That's what we've got to do. We've got to show you the baby, and the baby is winning." ~Buddy Nix

Great article T. I think regardless of what happens in the draft or free agency, we will be seeing Fitz as our started next season barring injury. The only way I see us starting a rookie is if Fitzy goes down at some point during the season or he strings together a few terrible games consecutively.

Re: Does Fitzpatrick fit the "Bill" in 2011?
Even if we drafted a QB, Fitz is the starter for at least 2011 if not 2012. Worst thing we could do is throw a rookie in cold and have him destroyed by the Pats and Jets. The sad thing is how little credit fans(?) give Fitz for his toughness, leadership and mental agility. Those facets are every bit as important as having a cannon arm.

Originally posted by X-EraWhat pay do you think he's worth? Starting QB pay? And if we pay it, were committing to the guy for a whole new set of years as our starter.

Re: Does Fitzpatrick fit the "Bill" in 2011?
Originally posted by better daysI think Fitz has proved to the league he is not a starter, but a VERY GOOD back up. Some team with playoff aspirations will pay him top back up money in my opinion. I hope that team is Buffalo.
If Gailey is saying he wants to stick with Fitz as his starter at that point, Fitz will want starting QB money.
Bring in your future and ride out his cheap contract as long as you can until you make the switch.Last edited by X-Era; 01-06-2011, 07:48 PM.

Re: Does Fitzpatrick fit the "Bill" in 2011?
Great article,
In my opinon the only way Buffalo has any shot at reaching the playoffs within this decade is by drafting a franchise signal caller this year. To me thats Ryan Mallett.
As we all know by now Luck is returning for his senior year and while his talents are tempting Im not willing to wait around and watch another terrible year. Mallett has been compared to Big Ben and Flacco, 2 big arm QBs that would fair well in Buffalo. Although is decision making his sometimes questionable, with a year (or unitil Fitz F's up) under his belt should leave him with enough knowledge to be a super star, something Buffalo hasnt had since T.O. (minus the headache).Did someone forget to give Ralph his meds??
