No team in the NFl (or the Arena League for that matter) will touch him or his noodle arm.

Someone with his qualifications should have no problem finding a top-flight job in eith the food service or housekeeping idustries.

Fitzpatrick will definitely have a job as a quarterback in the NFL next year.

What is your huge contribution to society that empowers you to scoff at Ryan Fitzpatrick?

p.s. Fitz has a degree in finance from Harvard.
p.p.s. Nice spelling.

Gailey should not have trusted his arm, but rather the running game. Defense was also supposed to keep games close.

He just seems like one of those guys who will play into his late 30s without ever having really done much.

I think Fitzpatrick was often put in the position to have to take a lot of chances playing catch-up ball, largely due to a suspect defense.
I thought that with a new coaching staff in place, with a well-regarded, offense-oriented HC like Marrone, the Bills would use a season to see if they could possibly take Fitz’s game up a notch. They must have intently studied enough film to feel that for whatever reason or reasons, that wasn’t viable?
I still believe that Fitzpatrick could be an above-average starting QB in the NFL, given the right situation and coaching.

Was there a defensive player in the league who made less impact on their team than Williamsā€™ impact in Buffalo last season?

If they had even a DECENT defense last year, I think they would have won 9 or 10 games, and he would still be the starter…

Just like in baseball, some guys get exposed when they play too much but are effective coming off the bench. Fitzpatrick can play well in stretches but the more he plays the returns diminish accordingly. On the right team, with an injury prone starter, he could have value. Otherwise, this is a story of boy meets bench.

He’d be a solid backup QB somewhere, and a very good spot starter, a lot like former Bill Frank Reich.

I was rooting for him to make good on things, but the reality is, he’s just not talented enough to be a full-time starter. I wish him the best going forward.

Weren’t they supposed to be a dynasty or something?

It’s good to hear that they’re still plugging away..

Quite possibly the worst big money free agent signing in NFL history. The only deal that could be compared is that Haynesworth contract from the Skins. Was there a defensive player in the league who made less impact on their team than Williams’ impact in Buffalo last season?

I’m not even going to say this guy is trash, he was the Quarterback for the Bills. Stevie Johnson was literally the only legit target the guy has had in years. CJ Spiller would be if he wasn’t a walking glasshouse.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is an average quarterback that has random glimpses of being an above average quarterback.

He can start for any low standard team, but his best option would be to serve as a back up for a contender. Thats where he would be of most use.
