Comparing Fitzpatrick to Pennington, really? Chad was an established starter for the vast majority of his career, led his team to the playoffs a few times times, and won multiple playoff games. He was a high draft pick whose career was derailed by a serious of injuries.

Fitzpatrick was a career backup journeyman, until last year where the most inept franchise over the last 15 years (ZERO playoff wins) decided to outbid no one and pay a man an amount of money no other team would. Never played in a playoff game or ever deserved to. No one wanted him coming out of college.

BIG differences. The similarities start and end with their shared high intelligence levels.

When it’s 10 degrees outside and the team is out of playoff contention for the 12th straight year it becomes pretty tough to sell tickets in the nosebleed sections.
When the games matter, the Ralph is always unquestionably sold out.

And heres a quick hypothetical for ya: if a team does awful year after year yet sells out every game every year, what incentive would the front office ever have to put together a winning product?

QB- D- (Fitzpatrick would get on a roll and then throw those awful balls with some bad choices)

RB/FB- A- ( Jackson never got into tempo, but Spiller gashed the Jets, looking like the 1st rounder he should be. Good blocking from Corey)

O-line- B (Kept Fitzpatrick standing all day, made some good lanes for the running game. Gave a B because of the stupid penalties)

WR/TE- C- (Johnson couldn’t do too much against Revis, Nelson injured, Jones and Chandler looked good)

D-line- D (No pressure on the QB, which is the exact reason what they are there for. Good run stuffing)

LB’s- C- ( Good run stopping, ok with the coverage of TE/RB)

DB’s- F- (Yes, Sanchez had all day to throw, but the DB’s got toasted all day, especially Gilmore and Williams.)

ST’s- D (Moorman had his first punt returned on him, Potter kept KO’s from being returned at all and Lindell hit his EX PT’s)

a nice qb that will win some games. he may even get you to the playoffs, BUT he absolutely cannot beat a team with a tough, aggressive defense. as long as rex is jets coach and fitz is playing in buffalo, you might as well pencil in two guaranteed losses for the bills.

Sorry, but Brad Smith is better off at QB playing the role of Tim Tebow in Buffalo after your 3-pick performance!!

9/10 losses to the JETS. You guys sure talk a lot of smack for an irrelevant franchise and a fanbase which can’t even fill a reduced capacity stadium.
