Ryan Fitzpatrick

[Macken]

Ive been a huge fan of Fitzpatrick since his Cincy days, i said he should have been starting over Palmer back then

[wr50l]

He's good. But then again, he's under no pressure to win every week. Classic middle-of-the-roader.

[Deviant]

Well, I think I know how to shed a little more light on this.

If Ryan Fitzpatrick is a backup/starter (depending on your argument), what do you consider Matt Schaub, Tavaris Jackson, or Alex Smith to be?

[Macken]

Jackson and Smith are backups no doubt... Fitzpatrick would goto Seattle and San Fran and start over both with no worries about losing his job

[Point Blank]

He's been looking good but I'm not sold yet, he's played against the Chiefs and Raiders. :laugh:

[Woy]

Just when I thought Dave couldn't get more pathetic.

[Blade]

I would take Fitzpatrick over Kevin Kolb any day..........if Kolb can start in this league, then Fitz is just shy of being called a all-pro passer.

Dave,

For what its worth I think Fitzpatrick is a great QB.

Fuck the rest of these guys.

[red33]

hes cool to root for cause i remember him being backup on STL.

Bills are a feel good story right now and I hope they win the AFC east. Also I got 3 Bills players on my 2 fantasy teams so far they have been absoltue studs.

I'm confused. Is that Fitzpatrick aka "number 14"??

[Senser81]

dave, you can't be a real person.

I did not describe 20 NFL starters. I do not think guys like Jason Campbell or Tavaris Jackson or Luke McCown or Kyle Orton fit this description at all, and do not think they are ideal backups. Guys like Bradford, Stafford, McCoy, Newton, etc are obviously not "ideal backups" because they are young and developing, need to play, and we don't know what they are yet.

I described Ryan Fitzpatrick, and maybe what somebody like Alex Smith should have been at worst, but he continues to suck.

I'M NOT SAYING FITZPATRICK SHOULDN'T BE STARTING, and of course teams are dealing with the cards they are dealt. What is your point?

As usual, W2B is WAY off base and is just pandering to the crowd for some thanks and some cheap LOLs. He is like the Ralph Nader of VSN.

First, Kyle Orton is an ideal backup. He is intelligent, doesn't make too many mistakes, and has a decent enough arm to be an NFL QB. I would guess that Orton is going to stick around the NFL for a long time.

Second, why the hate for Ryan Fitzpatrick? Number 14 has had success wherever he's been. How many starting jobs does a guy have to win to be considered a "starting NFL QB"? I've watched Number 14 for many years, and he's always managed to win with poor surrounding talent. Give him DeSean Jackson, J. Macklin, and Shady McCoy and Mike Vick is just another gangbanger with speed.

I'm 100% with Dave on this. It IS faster to type "fag" than "Warner2BruceTD!

and he studied at Harvard.

Right now in the NFL, how many QB's are in thier " ideal roles"?

I refuse to kiss dave's ass like this.

Mike Vick = sidelines

Carson Palmer = retired
