Charter Members of the Fitz bandwagon

by Joe P. on Oct 27, 2010 8:47 PM EDT

Everyone is jumping on the Fitz bandwagon. I came across this article by Brian penned in June. Interesting to say the least

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2010/6/5/1502623/bills-qb-competition-will-be-a#39119731

For the record. I called Fitz as the starter, with Brohm as the second string QB, and Brown as our 3rd stringer.

I posted this

Good job Brian

I can’t believe some of the brow beating you took for saying Fitz is the front runner. I have been saying that for quite awhile. Fitz ended the season as the starter….nothing has changed yet.

My take on our QBs……

Fitz – Not consistently accurate, but good enough. Is willing to thrown the 50/50 deep ball. Best at anticipating the window and throwing the ball to the WR in stride. Best feel in the pocket and can scramble and throw on the run, which will be a big plus behind our Oline. Best leader out of the group. I think Gailey will make Fitz the starter this season, but only because Brohm and Brown are not ready. I would not be surprised if Fitz is the backup or even gets cut next year.

Edwards – Most accurate. Throws the best looking ball…..nice tight spiral. Hardest worker. Handles the media well. Although Trent has seems to be attempting more deep balls in OTAs, I am not confident that he will continue to do so when the rush is real. I think Captain Checkdown will re-appear in the pre-season. Also, I don’t see how Edwards can make it through the season behind our O-line without getting another concussion and/or some other injury. I can’t get over the fact he lost the team last year. I don’t see Edwards making the 53 man roster. I would love for Edwards to prove me wrong, but he would also make me the most nervous if he was the starting QB. How long before he get hurts or losses his confidence again?

Brohm – Kid is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde right now. Throws some great balls, but seems to have accuracy issues. Has potential, but I don’t think he is ready yet. Has potential to be the starter this season, but everything would have to click during training camp. I think he will be the backup QB this year.

Brown – Most physically gifted. Seems to be able to fit the ball into tight windows. Raw as hell, but to good to try to stash on the PS. Lock to be the 3rd string QB this year. Will compete for the starting QB job next year.

Show me the baby CHIX, and it better not look like the pool boy from our vacation at Club Jauron!!!!!

Yup. Don’t anyone forget about Brown. He’s not a slouch.

We now have Fitz as our starter. And he’s a leader.
And two young studs behind him.

Draft Mr. Super Linebacker and Fat-boys next year on both sides of the line early.

I am not ready to move off drafting a QB with the number one pick yet, but it could happen

As much fun as it is watching Fitz, we may not get to see if Brohm has gotten any better this year as long as Fitz keeps playing well. How do we know if Brohm can/can’t be the man? Brown’s chance to compete will come next year.

Props

Props to you Joe, exactly what I saw Fitz do watching replay on NFL TV. Fitz looked really good reading defense and making D adjust to him, what a nice change! Had two picks but 1 wasn’t his fault. He can take a hit as well, definitely a huge upgrade over Trent. He isn’t afraid to throw either, looked really good. I think he owes some of his performance improvement to Chan though. Good to see, can’t wait to see KC game. Oh, kinda worried that Raven’s took us lightly, thats why I want more games to judge. But good call Joe!

Thanks....I haven't predicted a Bills win yet this season......I am really tempted for the KC game.

Win

That would require a defense, but I think Chan and Co. are gonna improve in that area sooner than later. KC sounds like a probable victim for our first win:) Even without a D were still gonna be “surprising” going forward, IMHO ;) Heres hoping Fitz continues to torch defenses! GO BILLS

Say what aint so????

I am not saying we should not draft a QB this April. It was perfectly clear to me in June that Fitz was the best QB we had on the roster and should have been the starter to begin the season. I would love to see Brohm step up and take the job from him. Then all this “we don’t need to draft a QB #1” talk would really get interesting :-)

it was clear in june sure

but after TE put up such a great off season, i thought he was the best on the roster. the more i dont see brohm starting or playing, the less likely i am to think he is the guy. i think he may be gone next year, although as i say that i remember brown was cut earlier in the year, so i could always be wrong. as long as you arent on the “fitzy can be our franchise qb” bandwagon, ill give you a pass……for now.

Climb on Board?

If he finishes the season upright, gets 3 or 4 wins (a major accomplishment with the current D), throws for 3200+ yards and say 22-25 TD’s, I’m in.

If It Luck or Locker you HAVE to take him

We cannot honestly believe Ryan Fitz is our answer at QB he had 1 really good game.

He still threw 2 picks, 1 wasn’t his fault but.

Imagine we got this from our QB week in week out thats what needs to happen

We cannot honestly believe Ryan Fitz is our answer at QB he had 1 really good game.

11 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, Offensive scoring average over 20points with two games at 30 and above, all in only four games this season. Still trying to understand your point here. I guess, Ryan will have to prove it for us. Keep playing the way he is and Luck and Locker won’t be available to take.

But but but...

I remember you backing Brohm much more than Fitzy.

The darkest hour is upon us.

by Undee on Oct 28, 2010 3:53 PM EDT reply actions

Yes....as camp went on I very much wanted to see more of Brohm

I think Brohm has more potential than Fitz to be a true Franchise QB. I’m just not sure if Brohm can realize that potential. And, don’t confuse who I think is the best QB this season with who might be our future QB capable of taking us deep into the playoffs.
