Yep he did a few times but a healthy Marshall dominates more then he did today. You can tell he was a step slow today. Especially on that crossing pattern. We all appreciate the toughness but he clearly wasn't himself today.
Here's all I got: Every single time Fitz dropped back to throw last week his first read was open. He got used to that and trying to replicate it ended in repeated disaster today.
Last week wasn't a mirage. He completed more passes 15 yards or more downfield than ANY QB in the past twenty years. More than Brady. More than Manning. More than Rodgers. Etc. His arm strength isn't the problem. He has a good enough NFL arm. Accuracy maybe, but not strength. His decision making was ATROCIOUS. His head cost us the game today. Not his arm. I don't know WTF he was thinking on most of his throws today. So many of them had NO SHOT at all to be completed.
Thats all you need to know. Thats typical Fitz. He threw a lot down field too last week and you can tell his arm was dead from it. You guys who pitched know exactly what im talking about. He compensates for his lack of arm talent by overthrowing. This is why hes so grossly inaccurate. This is why arm strength matters. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
His coach did too. Bowles is too conservative. Then when things get desperate he goes into emergency passing mode.
I'd like to think Fitz's contract doesn't make him bulletproof. His leash should have gotten a helluva lot shorter after today's shitfest. If not, then you know why Fitz will be taking snaps. 12million reasons why..
Anybody who blames this loss on the receivers is delusional. This game is all on the QB period. Worst game by a Jets QB I've ever seen since I started watching this team n 1966, considering the era and the offensive weapons.
No he had below average arm strength dude. Theres no other way to slice it. Theres no qb scout anywhere who will tell you he does. He easily has one of the worst arms in the league. Have you ever played qb or baseball? Theres a mechanic to throwing and people who dont have great arms have to overcompensate and often at the cost of accuracy. It wears the arm out tho. I think Fitz had his high in week 2 and threw his arm out. He could barely throw the ball 20 yards this week. If he could, he easily coulda 3 or more Tds. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
until we find that guy he is the best we got and unfortunately he will get us close but not into the playoffs. I hope Petty or Hack develops into the guy.
It was bad but not as bad as Geno and the Bills game. He is what he is sorry but I disagree. Not a good performance by any means but worst? hardly.
Geno hasnt throw 6 picks in a game. Dont confuse buffalo for what Fitzpatrick is. I think we should go to petty. Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
There were like 8 in the box though. Worth a shot I guess. But any above average QB doesn't throw 2 INT's in the RZ.
? he is better then what we had on our roster the real question is what does that say about the other qbs on the roster. You can't blame the gm, coaches for the game plan yes, the qb yes but come on, after 1 yr you want to fire everyone? Forget about the other items the coach and gm have done. I am more concerned about the defensive cord because this defense is better then what it played and he put together a crap game plan that let tight ends run all over us and stayed in a zone.
This clown will get us nowhere....The quicker Bowles realizes it the better Geno or Petty I dont care who, just not Fitz
