    I said this two years ago. He's always been pathetic.

    I never wanted him on the team but I was just like fine he's a solid backup that knows the system, whatever

    What a nightmare it's turned into...Fitz has tricked another damn team into giving him the keys to drive it right off the cliff....yet again

    Really miss all the Fitzpatrick nut huggers who's only argument last year was calling those who knew Fitz was terrible was that those posters were "Genobots." Please come back anytime.

    All he can do is throw short passes and interceptions. There's no winning strategy that combines those two.

    He can complete some medium length throws but it only works if they continue running the ball.

    Unless they fix the playcalling it doesn't really matter who is under center. Geno would just rack up sacks where Fitz would throw interceptions.

    Two rookies, Wentz and Prescott, have 0 interceptions combined up to this point. Fitz, an 11 year vet, has 10 through 4 games. Did I mention he's making $12 million?

    Only the Jets

    Fitz isn't terrible. He is what he is - an average QB and as such an upgrade on what we've had in recent memory.

    He won't win you a game if he's throwing 40 to 50 times, he won't shift you down the field in huge chunk/highlight plays and against a good tight secondary he will get picked.

    On the plus side he has got good pocket presence and his elusiveness can add seconds to plays (not that our recieving corp seem to have any idea what to do at the end of their routes) and is a professional i.e not a git we're forced to root for 'cos he wears the green uniform.


    At the moment the only facet of our game that's working is the D line and that matters not a jot because our secondary is playing 10 yards off and can't cover worth a damn. The ST's have cost us in 2 games so far, The receivers aren't getting open, the Oline is getting worn down and we don't have a QB or RB in the Luck or AP mould that can overcompensate for that.

    Quite frankly we're average and whilst I'm not putting the blame all on one position..........I'd look to get Petty ready for week 6 if we're still showing a lack of effort and spark on our next outing + Lets start jamming their WR's at the freaking line!

    Andy Reid and Alex Smith beg to differ as do any Bronco's who watched their team win it all last year.

    For those scream for Geno nope that should not happen. I say if petty is healthy and this continues and the yr is spiralling down then play Petty. Need to know what we have. One pick was his fault today but three were thrown.
    Marshall has to run that route to the end. The tip ball agan and the the horrible under throw.....

    I know its a small thing but....

    Fitz, you cost us two damn games you asshole. Could you at least show up to the podium in something other than shorts, tshirt and flip flops??
    Maybe I'm old school, I duno. Just get this loser out of my sight.

    Geno then Petty, and it should be that way. Petty hasnt done anything to leapfrog Smith.

    Unless out playing him in the preseason is nothing then you are right. Seriously Geno has no future here and if we are building for the future why play him? We need to know what Petty is

    He most definitely did not outplay geno. He had a decent preaseason. Petty has no real game experience. Geno does, you only turn to petty when the season has gotten away and geno fails. Both are a possibility.

    It's not just the picks, its the inabilty to move the team down the field. He didnt do it in the preseason either.

    So I post that I hope the Jets play Geno next week and you call me pissy. Sorry you don't understand what a scapegoat is.

    then we did not watch watch the same preseason
    geno smith had a rating of 62 % and Petty had a rating of 95% what do you call that? Wait I know you will say the level of competition but Geno sucked against 2nd teamers and back ups for that qb rating so please don't use that argument
