Good luck to Fitz. A true competitor and a hard nosed player. I'll never forget when he got in Brandon Spikes face. God BlessBILLIEVE -

That it is. One of the grouch's best, tbh.
The 'gunslinger with a popgun' aspect was pretty much spot on, too.Comment

Good article, but he had to go. There was no way OBD was going to sell tickets with Fitz at the helm again.

Soooooooo, selling tickets clearly has nothing to do with who the team fields. they wear our colors and we love them for that.
i for one can't renew my seasons watching them do the same thing every time and expect me to believe we have a shot at being good.Comment

Re: Sullys Article On Fitz - That Was Spot On
Great read, and to be honest the good guys in this league deserve articles like this, there are not many of them anymore. I wish him the best.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.

It was hard to root against Fitz because he had a great sense of humor and a true nice guy.
This time around however, he lacked the confidence to go out and win the job and stick it to Nix all over again.Comment

Re: Sullys Article On Fitz - That Was Spot On
Fitz was nothing more than a back up. Gailey's belief in the guy led to his demise. Gailey's offense could have worked better if he didn't put all that blind faith on a talentless quarterback. I still believe to this day that the awful head coach Gailey begged and pleaded Buddy to sign Fitz. It was more proof to me last year when Gailey wouldn't even dress T-Jackson that Ryan was his golden boy. I also wonder why Buddy is still employed because he's made some pretty boneheaded decisions as GM.Last edited by BertSquirtgum; 03-13-2013, 08:37 AM.Comment

And how stupid is Nix for falling for that gag?Comment

Re: Sullys Article On Fitz - That Was Spot On
Fitz's inflated sense of himself is the reason he sucked as a QB, his ability was just not there, and by refusing to accept that it caused him to turn the ball over a ton.Comment

The guy performed exactly as his stats prior to starting with the Bills would lead any REASONABLE person with half a brain to believe he would. He should have NEVER been in that position in the first place. Even MORE ridiculous was that this idiotic 'experiment' continued for 3 1/2 seasons! What a waste of time and squandering of opportunities to get a REAL quarterback. And the "genius" GM, Buddy Nix, it took him 3 1/2 years to figure out that all the guy can compete for is a backup position?
I knew that as SOON as he was signed he was not a decent QB, just from his past performance, and was doubly-certain I was correct after I saw his performance during his first few starts in 2009.
Good riddance - his departure is about 3 years overdue. Nothing against him as a person, but as a QB he STINKS!!!!!Last edited by Cleve; 03-13-2013, 10:04 AM.

"Oh, I don't know why you're so hard on Fitz, honey. Sure he threw away another season, but he wears his wedding ring on the field! How adorable is that?"He was a family man and father of four who wore his wedding ring in games, which went over well with women.

Re: Sullys Article On Fitz - That Was Spot On
Fitzpatrick should have taken the new deal. It was very fair given the results and performance we got out of him and he would have gotten to stay here. He will not start anywhere unless there's an injury.Comment

Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
- There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs.
