    SJ13 ready to throw Fitz under the bus?

    Was it just me, or did anybody else notice last week several instances where Stevie looked upset after Fitz failed to deliver the ball to him accurately enough to at least give him a chance to make a catch?

    Hello,
    Its not just you. He looks like he is disgusted with something. Like you, I think its Fitz. I noticed early in training camp during a interview, someone asked him about VY competing with Fitz. He sure sounded like he wanted VY to be able to shoot for the number 1 job. I wonder if cutting VY and him getting stuck with a very inconsistent Fitz, is the problem.
    i know if my qb couldn't get me the ball, I would be pissed. Stevie probably feels Fitz is holding him and the O back.
    Any way thats how I read it.

      He even said as much in interviews this week. That he thought Fitz should and wanted him to take some more chances towards him because he was 1-on-1 or just thought he could make the play.

      But that happens every almost every week with almost every team that loses in the NFL. It's nothing new and I'd be stunned if one of them ever threw the other under the bus any more than that kind of stuff.

      I bet Fitz looks Stevie's way a lot today. SJ13 is going back home and has been talking about this game and how excited he is to play in SF since the summer. And then on top of last week and thinking (and I'm sure telling) Fitz to throw it his way.......

        Maybe Fitz prefers throwing to Chandler because he's 6'7" & is wide open, it's pretty hard to overthrow that big a guy.

          I wasn't referring to the number of times Fitz looked Stevie's way, or failed to throw to SJ when Stevie thought he was open. My observations were from times Fitz did throw the ball to Stevie and never gave him a legit chance to catch the ball. Several times SJ was very animated in showing his disgust/anger/frustration toward Fitz's accuracy issues last week.

            Stevie should give him **** for not delivering the ball. This is what happens in competitve environments. People have to be made accountable for their shortcomings.

              Not with this team. They're content with settling at QB with a limited backup.

              This is why this staff will be looking for new jobs this winter.

                I know its been said here before, but why did we trade for a QB, then never dress him. Surely by now he knows the playbook.

                  If I were SJ13 I wouldn't beg for the ball.

                  fitz has a habit of getting his receivers lit up.

                    Stevie should be frustrated. He's been running some great routes and getting open, particularly in the NE game.

                        Fitz is throwing himself under the bus with his piss poor play.

                          But then leads the NFL in TD passes. Do you realize someone is this thread is calling for Tavaris Jackson?

                          Fitz sucks on the long ball though, mechanics, what mechanics?

                            How many INT's has he thrown? If only Fitz could throw accurately.

                              At this point I'd rather have a dumb QB who can at least throw the ball accurately. Isn't that like the first requirement for any QB to have? "Can you throw?" "No." "Ok we'll then you're not playing QB. Next!"
