And once Gabbert was selected later in the first round, by Jacksonville, the Bills were done shopping for quarterbacks. They stuck with defense in their next two picks, and essentially told Fitzpatrick: "This is your team."

Re: Bills hope sticking with Harvard grad is a smart move
The article makes complete sense in saying a stronger D will only help Fitz from constantly having to play from behind. Then he can play more within himself and let the RB's carry the load. We all know his limitations.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: Bills hope sticking with Harvard grad is a smart move
Parrish was actually showing something in this offense before he got injured. I liked how they used him.
I doubt he can stay healthy the whole season, but if he could, he'd be a good asset. Wouldn't be a bad WR corps, despite having no true stars: Evans, Johnson, Parrish, Nelson, Easley. It's pretty obvious that the offense started going downhill as our WR's became injured, so hopefully they can stay on the field for the full season."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Bills hope sticking with Harvard grad is a smart move
I expect modest improvement in Fitzpatrick because I expect modest improvement in the blocking and the running game. I also think the time pof possession is going to shift back toward the Bills a bit because the defense should be somewhat better at stopping the run. I'm not expecting any huge turnarounds in any one area, but cumulatively, I think it will result in a few more wins. Yes, I'm a diehard optimist.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

I still don't see why people think Gabbert is going to be this surefire starter.

Re: Bills hope sticking with Harvard grad is a smart move
Folks: He is at that age/point in his career where quarterbacks start to come into their own. He's not that old, right? He has not been a starter for much of that time. Maybe it just is coming together for him after some extended playing time. Granted, he does not seem to have elite physical tools but there seemed to be plenty of zip when it was needed. I have never been a huge fan but let's give the guy a chance. He did look good at times.

Originally posted by Johnny BugmenotNah. Fitz is consistently mediocre. Do just enough to keep you competitive and hold you over, but he won't lead you to a Lombardi. But he won't lead you to 0-16, either. He's the perfect guy to lead the team to an 8-8 season. In other words, an ideal backup.
