Group D (16-20)
3. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills: The Bills know what they have in Fitzpatrick and passed on adding a quarterback in the draft. Get him some more protection and targets, and he will improve on his stellar 2010 production.

He is put in some quality company on this list for a QB that really hasn't done much which surprised me. He did have a good year stats wise though. What do you think? Does Kirwan rate him too highly, or is that about where you see Fitzpatrick if you had a list of top 20 QBs?

Re: Fitz makes Kirwan's top 20 QBs. list
He's an average starter and considering they have him listed as #18 that seems about right to me. I couldn't make any defense for him being higher or lower on the list with the other QB's ranked around him.

Re: Fitz makes Kirwan's top 20 QBs. list
Fitz was solid last year, especially considering we had a 40 ++++ % turn around on our roster and injuries on the OL up the yin/yang
I agree improve protection, hopefully a little better dependable run game and a full 16 games and Fitz WILL improve in 2011

Technically he is ranked on par with Sanchez as the groupings are listed alphabetically.Originally posted by Aero IIComment

Hmmm, I'd be happier with 8 wins out of 13 games... but that's just me.Originally posted by jamze132

Re: Fitz makes Kirwan's top 20 QBs. list
So if the rest of the team gets better can we expect to end up 3rd in the AFC East with him at the helm?Originally posted by PromoTheRobot
At what point does he become a limiting factor?

Dude. This is what I'm talking about. You have been over analyzing everything since Christmas!Originally posted by X-Era
Look at where Buffalo was when Gailey came on board. The entire team was in total disarray. It took Nix and Gailey a while to figure out what they actually had to work with and have been working non-stop to fix the roster. By no means is it "fixed", but it is well on the way. I think it's pretty damn commendable what Fitz accomplished with our roster once he became the starter. I am willing to bet that Fitz has even better numbers next year. We haven't seen QB play like this since Bledsoe's first season as a Bill. I'll take his numbers, which will lead to more wins.Comment

Re: Fitz makes Kirwan's top 20 QBs. list
I am analytical by nature, theres nothing new there. This is a 4 and 12 team. IMO, Fitz will not be adequate for us to make a deep run in the playoffs or possibly to even make the playoffs. If you don't agree that's fine, let's just disagree.Originally posted by jamze132
I'm not hating on the guy, I was surprised at what he was able to do, and I hope I'm wrong and that he's all we need. Because we need that answer yesterday IMO. But, I don't think I am.
As far as the rest of it goes, I want the Bills to be competitive in all phases of the off-season... trades, FA, and the draft. I have been consistent in that opinion for years... again nothing new.
And I'd like to team to make significant improvements to the team. I'd prefer that those improvements be proven. That also is nothing new.
So I guess I'm not sure where you think my opinion has been so drastically different since Christmas.

Re: Fitz makes Kirwan's top 20 QBs. list
I heard an interview with Jerry Glanville a couple weeks ago. He said that he did not think it was fair to judge a player on tape that he had not coached because he did not know what the previous coach told the player to do in a given situation.Originally posted by jamze132
I think Chan must feel the same way. He wanted to give all the players a chance & see how they played after he coached them up. It didn't take him long to make up his mind on Trent & a few others.Last edited by better days; 06-16-2011, 05:28 PM.Comment

Totally agree. I think many of us saw that Gailey was doing this last year.Originally posted by better days
