I feel for the guy, to be honest. He plays his ass off, and gets rewarded by getting crapped on. I would take him on my team every day of the week, twice on Sundays.
He has more heart than 99% of the players in the league.

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
I think he's going to make some pretty decent money over the next couple of years. I wouldn't call that 'getting crapped on.' The guy has gone from backup to starter on every team he's been on, I don't feel bad for him at all. I hope he goes to a team that I'm able to root for on Sundays, unlike the Jets. -
Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
I can honestly say I have more heart than any NFL player if they allow me to play Sundays. Unfortunately my heart does not overcome any of those guys' physical ability to beat me. Bottom line win counts in NFL.Comment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
He was also handed a chance to lead his team to the playoffs in the 4th quarter of a one score game and ended the year with three consecutive INTs. Fitz just can't get over that hump.Originally posted by Forward_Lateral View Post

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
Once Bradford got handed that ridiculous 18 mill a year contract the Fitz thing became impossible for both sides. If you are the Jets you can't hand out that type of money for a guy like Fitz. And if you are Fitz there's no way you take less than ****ing Sam Bradford.
But this is good news for us. That means Geno Smith is next man up. Just as I always say we go into each season 0-2 because of the Pats games I might chance my stance to 2-2.Comment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
He's a nice guy and all, but heart alone isn't enough. Unfortunately his ability is average at best. He's basically Rudy, all heart but no skills.Originally posted by Forward_Lateral View PostComment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
Both times we played them last season he lost the game with an INT. That's consistent with how he played for us.Originally posted by IlluminatusUIUC View PostComment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
You'd think by now, the guy would realize how the pattern goes, recognize his own deficiencies, and maximize a safe comfortable, workable Gailey situation again to remain a starter with money he can count on.
No other team will hand him the reins, and if they do, he won't do well again. He'll go from starter to backup and make less. Bradford just isn't comparable.
Fitzpatrick is pricing himself out of his best chance for success and income in his long run, which gets shorter every year now. Shame.Comment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
I have always like the guy, but I think he is bad luck. He always ends up being the starter, not because he was necessarily more talented, but because the starter either got hurt or played way worse than he had in the past.Comment

Re: Looks like Fitzy will be a FA again
He's a great backup QB, and an avg starting QB who shows flashes of greatness, and flashes of awfulness.Comment
