    Fitz just isn't gonna work.

    I'm sorry but he's too streaky and just hasn't stepped up enough to justify that monster contract. For that kind of money he should be carrying the team on his shoulders. All he's done is play average at best, and is playing more bad than good.

    Feels a similar RJ move. Big $ on too little performance history.

    Have to agree. For that kind of money a QB needs to make all the throws and Fitz can't make all the throws.

      Still can't understand why they had to do that contract when they did!

        Not sure why they didn't wait until end of season to work on contract. He's not Tom Brady.

            Typical poor FO management by the Bills. They got nervous he would ask for more money given his early season streak, so they overpaid too early. Anyone with any football savvy would have known that he hasn't even played a full season as a starter so there wasn't enough history to deserve a $59M contract. I just hope it was structured in such a way that they can still go after a franchise QB and re-structure it to one he deserves (like half that amount)

              I've been saying this since the day I heard the bad news. Horrible decision on the Bills' behalf.

                i still think it's the right move. the bills need a fitz type qb who understands the x's and o's to teach a guy with the raw ability.

                i agree, they didn't need to give that contract to him then. but he should be in the organization for a long time.

                    The timing was right, and so was the money. Fair contract at a fair time for both sides.

                      Monster contract? 10 mil per year with an apparent easy escape clause is not a monster contract. It's not like his contract is putting us right up to the cap..

                        Not sure how you calculate "fair". He's missed at least 3 critical throws today so far to wide open receivers, 2 of which were likely 6 points. That's ok for a B level QB, but not one with a $59M contract.

                            but the starter for now. he should be holding the fort. it's not like the team is the jets that has the pieces and is being held back by bad qb. it's a team putting some pieces togehter. but still missing a lot on both sides of the ball.
