Finally though, someone is willing to tell it like it is in the media from behind the scenes and not sugar coat it!

Chan should have benched Fitz after the first Jets game last year.

Pete is wrong here. Fitz just didn't make bad decisions at the end of games. Fitz wasn't picky; he made bad decision all game long.

True, but he saved his best. . . uh . . . worst for last. There were several games last year that we were in a position to win or at least take the lead late in the fourth and that bozo would always find a way to give the other team the ball. It was friggen embarrassing.

Re: Pete Metzelaars tells us exactly what we've known all along...

I would prefer to cut him and save a little cap space to go along with the $4mm or so that we will save by cutting Kelsay. That would put us in the mid $20mm extra cap range and we could be big players in FA. Who cares if we don't have Fitz. It's not like we will be less of a team without him. I'll take my chances with T Jax and another journeyman along with a few draft picks to see what we have. Tarvaris, sign Grossman and draft a QB in the first round or two.

He can't be talking about the NE game. A couple of the genius' on this board say that was TJ Grahams fault.

It was, TJ Graham constantly attempted to catch passes of greater than 10 yards through the air from Fitztragic and everyone knows that beyond five yards Fitz passes become weak and innacurate.

The way Stevie has been acting this year and Pete's comments I get the feeling many players on the team shared these same feelings about Fitz. Fitz is a great QB to have as the backup to fill in for 3-4 games a year if need be, but if he has to play all 16 as we've seen for 3 seasons the guy is a train wreck!

streetking, i saw the eric wood didn't like that metzlaars wrote what he did.

i think you are probably right that guys know they can't win with him. but they also really like him and buy his confidence.

Re: Pete Metzelaars tells us exactly what we've known all along...

He should already be cut.
What is the use starting him again ?
QB at #8 and go with it.
TJ isn't the answer either.
Wilson or Barkley at #8 and move on.

TJax, a free agent and two draft picks. May the best man win

Uggh. Worst case scenario, IMO.

Re: Pete Metzelaars tells us exactly what we've known all along...

I do not see the point at all of keeping Fitz around. Why in the **** are we going to pay him a roster bonus of $3M next month????? And we signed T. Jackson for $4.5M????? He didn't even put on a helmet last year!!!

WTF is going through Marrone's head? This is a lot of money to devote to two below average QBs.

TJAX will only make that kind of money if he is named the starter which would not surprise me. I agree Fitz should be cut.

In the world of being politically correct players will come to his defense and say how it is wrong to say ehat everyone else is thinking. However, anyone with half a brain realizes the proof is in the pudding. His record is terrible. While he may be a good guy he is not a good NFL starting QB.
