    and that's alright with me. Not much arm strength but he smarted his way through that game and he's very accurate. Good stuff Fitz...

    He might not throw the deep ball very well but he has some really good zip on his passes. And he is accurate when on.

    The chemistry he has with Decker and Marshall makes him look better too.

    And he's injury prone, like our china doll that was Chad.

    Nah, Chad's arm would've detached from his torso by now, Fitz got his thumb fixed and didn't miss a beat. How much longer that holds up if he doesn't slide more often remains to be seen.

    When he ran the ball on that 3rd down when the blitz came = Brilliant Awareness

    yeah his athleticism is underrated he's shown, but I just like that he can place the ball where he wants within 20-25 yards....and he's in sync with his top two targets.

    I don't think he's injury prone in the same way Chad was. Fitz goes looking for his injuries by acting like he's got balls of Titanium when they are only steel. Chad would have managed to break every bone in his body with some of the hits Fitz has taken, and then died.

    We all underestimated Fitz, nobody can fool us saying they didn't, but damn, does he have the smarts and the heart for this game, amirite?

    Despite the 2 INT at Houston and other mistakes, which is crazy, right? Doesn't matter, I'm a fan of his anyway now.

    I've always liked him and thought he was a decent QB who just seemed to take blame for shitty teams losing games. He's never actually played for a good team.

    He's played pretty good considering he has essentially no running and his OL has been banged up for most of the year

    enunwa and d smith are crucial to the development to the team. i hope we can bridge marshall-decker seamlessly into d smith-enunwa

    He needs to operate out of the no huddle more. Hes much more comfortable and plays well out of it.

    I think you are right, he looked great in the 4th quarter

    This is what I liked the most about his games - He's very good with short and intermediate passing game in general. His long balls are kind of [lacking] but then good short and intermediate passing can do a lot of good for any offense. [And this is just what Sanchez and Geno doesn't have - Sanchez especially on the short pass.]

    Not just that look at him in previous games with the two minute offense at the end of the half. His rating is actually pretty high in that period.

    3/4 of the NFL's pass defenses are horrific

    Still, Geno doesn't have the smarts and heart to win this game.
    EDIT: And remember, no INT!
