Ryan Fitzpatrick as a backup?

Saquads26 : 1/14/2021 8:29 pm
I believe he's a free agent and he has worked with Schuplinski before and had high praise for him.
He's going to want an opportunity to start and

Shouldn't have a problem doing so. He'd be better off going to a team like PIT if Ben retires or Indy if Rivers retires than here. I picked those teams because they are playoff teams who may need a QB. Also, he could go to a team that drafts a rookie QB so that rookie doesn't have to start right away. He should almost definitely have options. He's not a backup QB to me in terms of his play and most likely this thinking. If he becomes a full on backup he'll probably just retire.

I thought about that but he's going to be 39 so you never know. He absolutely can still be a quality starter but If he does settle for being a backup this may be a good spot for him with the coach ties.

I just don't think that is his mentality. He loves playing. The guy is almost 40 and still diving head first into defenders. That's his passion. I can't see him just latching on with a team with a QB like Jones in front of him.

I think he’s a good fit to replace Ben if he retires. He was 5th in QBR when on the field this year. Steeltown would love him.
Didn't he make 10 million last year?

Has he ever won anywhere?

He was winning in Miami this year, Tua tanked them. Ironic.

Tua as a starter: 6-3
Fitzpatrick as a starter: 4-3

Fitz came in as the closer to win multiple games in relief, do you watch football?

are you staring at his quads right now? What a creepy handle.
He can win you games if your starter goes down  
Mike in NY : 1/14/2021 9:50 pm : link
Also knows how to spread the ball around, but too many Fitztragic plays when he is used too much. Loses games he should win because of turning the ball over.

He did not. He did it once, against the Raiders. He came in the 4th against the Broncos and lost.

Do you know what the term "multiple" means. Judge does.

It means more than one - you ignorant jackass

What is the # of bags of pork rhinds you ate tonight for $100 Alex?
Hey..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/14/2021 10:29 pm : link
Ace. You asked people if they watched football and then didn't know what the fuck you were talking about.

The category is Dumbasses for $1,000 and the clue is coming from Ken, Chief.

He's only good starting for a limited amount of games before he remembers its time to start throwing INTs and sucking. He did it as a Jet a Buc and as a Dolphin. He's a career backup for a reason. I have nothing against the guy but no way would I trust him as a franchise QB
LOL  
Route 9 : 1/14/2021 11:43 pm : link
Fuck it. I say start him.

Damn guys, theres so much hostility towards each other on here.

Fitz was great this year and in my opinion playing the best he ever has. He was without a doubt levels above Tua. The Dolphins let Tua cruise thru the easy part of their schedule and it absolutely costed them their season when he was matched up against better teams. It’s kind of crazy how teams are so focused on finding their franchise QB. Every team wants to find their QB for the next 20 years, so teams are starting Sam Darnold, Drew Lock, Mitch Tribusky, etc over Fitzpatrick. He’s easily a top 15 QB and a top 10 QB when he’s playing well. I’d love to see him in Pittsburgh.



Not sure he should leave Miami  
SLIM_ : 1/15/2021 5:52 am : link
The guy is 39 and has shown that he is better in small doses. Tua was very unimpressive last year. They did change their OC though.
If Miami makes him an offer, he stays. If he becomes a free agent  
Ivan15 : 1/15/2021 8:06 am : link
He probably will only sign with a Florida team. His family is in Tampa. He came very close to retiring before each of the last 2 years.
Would love him as a backup.

He would be a great backup  
johnnyb : 1/15/2021 8:44 am : link
but he will cost $10 Million or more. I think money can be spent in better places.

True. What’s McCoy making or set to make?
His flaws  
larryinnewhaven : 1/15/2021 8:59 am : link
get exposed over a period of time. Hes the perfect change of pace catch fire guy in relief. Start him week to week and his warts would pop up quickly.
Fitz is one of the best  
Big Blue '56 : 1/15/2021 9:24 am : link
Sept. QBs, I’ve ever seen..:)
he's way better than jones  
GiantsFan84 : 1/15/2021 11:06 am : link
why would he be the backup?
