I wish Fitz the best... Except for the two times a year we kick his teeth in.

[justasportsfan]

Bleedgreen is doing cartwheels. Whoohoo 5-10 yard bombs.

[OpIv37]

This will be great. He will start the season with back to back 300 yard games. All the "gunslinger" talk will go to his head and he'll follow it up with a 4 int performance because he tries to force every throw.

After that, it will be a toss-up as to which Fitz shows up.

[Pinkerton Security]

I mean hes better than Geno. We owned Geno

[EDS]

So many similarities between the Jets and Bills. Should make for good fun.

I feel the same, I can't hate the guy, warts and all.

I'd take him over Cassel in a second.

Id tend to agree, but I feel like they went with a "safe" game manager because with our current defense and (hopefully) strong run game, we need someone who isnt going to turn the ball over

I wouldnt say cartwheels, but he is a better option than Geno, Ej and Cassel

[CoolBreeze]

That all depends on if he's on his two game hot streak or six game cold streak

Can happen to any Qb, no?

[CoolBreeze]

Not the way it happens to Fitz, you'll see soon enough

[BleedinGreenNC]

Cant be any worse than Geno, all Fitzy has to do is keep his turnovers down. Adding Marshall is going to help Decker, and with Kerley in the slot i think he will be ok.

[streetkings01]

Can happen to any Qb, no?Down the field throws should be erased from the playbook since he cant make them with any accuracy. Fitz is a good backup for 2-4 games max per year.........if he has to start a full 16 you'll be no best then 6-10.

I don't know why you guys are so happy. Not a big Fitz fan BUT if we had Fitz last year, the playoff drought would be history.

[BertSquirtgum]

bahahahahahaha. Fitzputrid.

[stuckincincy]

Could be. BUF thought enough of him to fork over another contract, as others have and appear to do. He's not a bum.

[streetkings01]

I don't know why you guys are so happy. Not a big Fitz fan BUT if we had Fitz last year, the playoff drought would be history.Doubt it........we would've ended up at 9-7 because Fitz would've lost games because he cant make all the throws that Orton did.

[stuckincincy]

Doubt it........we would've ended up at 9-7 because Fitz would've lost games because he cant make all the throws that Orton did.

IIRC, BUF led the league in time elapsed after the snap and the time Orton launched a pass. That's been their philosophy since Fitz' time. They crowed about it when they inked Manual.

That's their answer to being abysmal in fielding an OL.

[BertSquirtgum]

My god. Fitzpatrick is garbage. I can't believe some of you are still swinging from his nuts.

[BleedinGreenNC]

bahahahahahaha. Fitzputrid.

EJ, the first round pick that keeps on giving.

[better days]

I feel the same, I can't hate the guy, warts and all.

I'd take him over Cassel in a second.

Refresh my memory, when is the last time Fitz won 11 games in a season?

[feldspar]

Did you guys know that Fitzpatrick is smart and went to Harvard?

[EDS]

Refresh my memory, when is the last time Fitz won 11 games in a season?

Technically, Cassel has never started and won 11 games in a season.

[streetkings01]

Technically, Cassel has never started and won 11 games in a season.But he has won more then 6 games in an NFL season.......something Fitz has never done in his NFL career!

[stuckincincy]

Refresh my memory, when is the last time Fitz won 11 games in a season?

Refresh my memory, who was the last BUF QB to win 11 games - anywhere.

[stuckincincy]

Did you guys know that Fitzpatrick is smart and went to Harvard?

AFAIK, Harvard still won't give any of their students anything less than a "B."

[EDS]

But he has won more then 6 games in an NFL season.......something Fitz has never done in his NFL career!

Both Fitz nor Cassel are average at best. Orton is the same. Both are journeyman with minimal value and no upside and neither should be viewed as a long term answer for a team serious about playing in the post-season. After all, there is a reason why each has not found a permanent starting position or franchise to call home.

[better days]

Jim Kelly

[Historian]

:roflmao:

[stuckincincy]

Jim Kelly

Yes - it's sad - almost beyond belief - that a franchise couldn't come up with a qb that could match that, over what? 20 years? I don't think they have had any qb more than 3 years since Kelly, and here we go again with Cassel.

Hopefully it is EJ this year, but Cassel is the best QB that was available for the Bills to add to the team.

I just hope when the Bills find their QB he is better than Dalton.

and in the 4 years since his cinderella year of 2010, he has a stellar record of 9-17, more ints than TD's and a passer rating hovering in the low 70's.

Why don't you bring up Vince Young while you're at it, he led his team to the playoffs once. (maybe twice).

I would take Vince Young over Fitz as well.

LOL don't you remember we ditched Fitz because he sucked?

From now on the Jets will be called Bills South LOL

I do, im not saying he is going to be great, but anyone besides Geno is an upgrade, except EJ of course! ;)

So does that make the Bills Jets NW?

[pmoon6]

My god. Fitzpatrick is garbage. I can't believe some of you are still swinging from his nuts.He actually has been in the league for some time and started a fair amount of games in the NFL.

He's got pluck and a big heart. Not the most talented, but I wouldn't mind him calling signals for us.

If he's "garbage", why does he win the starters job with different teams and how does that compare to your resume?

[BertSquirtgum]

It just shows you had bad those teams quarterback situation was.

[BleedinGreenNC]

It just shows you had bad those teams quarterback situation was.

No denying that, but your QB situation has not been solved either.

[pmoon6]

It just shows you had bad those teams quarterback situation was.Fitzy's downfall is he throws picks at the most inopportune times, mostly when he's trying to force the ball in.

How does that translate into "garbage" or "he sucks" when it's a tremendous accomplishment for a player to even make an NFL roster?

well, in a QB driven league with a pretty bad lack of quality ones, people are desperate for whatever. Fitz is a great backup, a smart guy and has the heart of a lion. He's just not a quality starter is all.

[Meathead]

theyre about the same. fitz gives you a little more offense but more turnovers, cassel is a little more plodding and generally protects the ball

id take either as the qb2 roles they have been given, but cassel is a bit more of a match for g&p

[The King]

Crazy to think the Jets could have Stevie Fitz Spiller and Gailey.

6-10 here they come

Would be better than where Rex took them last year.

Shhh, thats real talk. Dont you know that Rex is the second coming of Bellichek?

[better days]

Rex is not the second coming of Belicheat.

Belicheat is a dick head. Rex is a great guy.

Im sure Rex is a great guy, but he is too much of a players coach.

Really? What type of accountability has he ever had for his players?

[Woodman]

smart move by the Jets a definite upgrade.

[better days]

Really? What type of accountability has he ever had for his players?

He cut David Nelson.

[BleedinGreenNC]

He cut David Nelson.

Oh, there ya go, thats really accountability. He is also kept him on the roster far too long.
