Yeah. Away game, without good run support - and Fitzpatrick still directed the offense well enough. If Folk didn't miss the FG, it's 23-7, a healthy 3 possession lead. But the QB sucked. Right.
I don't think he's Aaron Rodgers on ability or instincts. But he knows how to plays when he needs to and doesn't make it harder than it needs to be. When was the last time we had a QB that did that.... Pennington?
Style points count. Fitz is going to adversely impact our Power Rankings. We might not get an at large bid. _
The good thing about Fitzpatrick's weakness is that he doesn't shy away from it. As long as he shows a willingness to at least attempt throwing the ball down the field teams will have to semi-respect it. He's also going to eventually hit on a few of them here and there, and Devin Smith will certainly help that. Even still can we as fans act like we're happy that we won the game?!?!?!??!?!
At this point of my life I'd be happy if he was a poor man's Chris Chandler. I'm getting really pasty in my sports viewing age.
It doesn't matter how many points Fitz/Gailey leave "on the board" as long as the NYJ have more points than the other team when the clock stops That won't be a problem if Fitz continues to exhibit 75% of Pennington's intelligence with 125%of his arm. 10-12 wins isn't impossible for this team.
