Forget about the Quarterback Whisperer! Unleash Fitz!!!
The worse thing that happened to Fitz Patrick was the fact that the Bills brass brought in an "acclaimed" quarterbacks coach to work on his mechanics. Now Fitz is overthinking his newly learned skills and it's affecting his game, he's waiting too long for a play to develop and releasing the ball. I say dump the new stuff and let him go back to his old style of play, and sling it when he wants to and his foot planting issues when he delivers the ball. He lives by his unorthodox style, he dies by his unorthodox style, that's the old Fitz and he was good doing that. They've got nothing to lose so LET HIM LOOSE and SET HIM FREE!!!

Very possible.... adapting to new techniques at his age might not work. -

i agree... look we all know fitz is not a franchise guy, and at best, hes a marginal starter who is not afraid to take chances... revolve the o around cj, and let fitz sling it around....
i still like our wrs, especially if we add naaman...Comment

Re: Forget about the Quarterback Whisperer! Unleash Fitz!!!
Definitely an interesting thought.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Forget about the Quarterback Whisperer! Unleash Fitz!!!
Lee wasn't here when he sucked ass the last half of last year. I don't think the QB coach is at fault, I think there is enough film on Fitz that they have him figured out. He is still capable of going on streaks where he looks great, but he is going to turn the ball over a lot and struggle getting the ball down-field.
That is just who he is. I don't care if Bill Walsh came back from the dead and coached him. You can't make chicken salad from chicken ...Comment

He's a lot worse now after his throwing mechanics were tampered with. He's decent, average at best and I'll take that right now than the garbage I'm seeing on the field!Originally posted by HurkeyNuts View PostLet's Go Bills, make it happen!!!Comment

He looked no different to me this past weekend than he did the second half of last season.Comment

There isn't anyway they are going to turn him into a good QB. He is not young anymore and what he is now is who he will always be. Trying to teach somebody his age new mechanics is the same as trying to teach an old dog new tricks. Forget about all that stuff and just let him play like he normally does. I agree 100%

He was bad, but I'm pretty sure that was one of the worst halfs of football I've seen by an NFL QB. That compares to the half Trent had in that MNF game vs. the Brownes a few years back.

If you get bored, go watch Brandon Weeden's entire week 1 performance to see the worst half of football you've ever seen by an NFL QB.Originally posted by Jeff1220 View Post
Which half you ask? Good question! Go with either one, they were equally pathetic.Comment

Ok then, by a Bills QB? (and my long-term memory isn't very good - maybe AVP or Ferragamo could match up)Originally posted by FunTimesYaY! View PostComment
