The Cowboys have a QB that never heard about the sport called football until a couple of weeks ago. They handed him the ball and they said: "throw it" and HE'S doing better than Fitzpatrick!
This part is idiotic because Dak Prescott has been playing football since his childhood. This part is correct, although Prescott is the dream QB for probably 26 teams in the NFL.
We have everything here on this team in place to make the playoffs and the QB play is holding this team back.....With a solid QB we would be 3-0 right now I don't know why people feel the need to stick up for this bum so much....Maybe you think Geno or Petty would be even worse but why would you not want to find out? Seriously, what do we have to lose? We are about to be in a big hole looking at our next few games and everyone knows it You even admit that Fitz won't change the fact that we could be any better than 9-7.....in that case, what is the damn point of throwing a QB out there with no future? Might as well at the very least let a young QB get some experience
Fitzpatrick is a good QB. He is smart and capable. He can't be trusted on any given Sunday though. He could play like he did Week 17 in Buffalo or he could play like he did last week in Buffalo. Or anywhere in between. Today was atrocious. He should have been benched because he looked lost out there.
In what world is Fitz a good QB? We are not being honest with ourselves.....No "good QB" would linger around as a free agent like he did this past off-season He is a bottom 5 starter in the NFL....
That's not how professional GMs and coaches think. They have to try to put a competitive product on the field. They've seen Geno Smith play and know that any team with him at QB will be uncompetitive. Unfortunately, we're stuck with Fitzy for this season.
If only he didn't underthrow Marshall on that sideline pass he would have gone all the way as he had a step ... but of course he underthrew the ball ... in other news can soemone please remeind me when was the last time we ran a TO back for a TD was it this century !?! it seems to happen to us once a month
Fitz is who he is. Smart fans have come to accept this. He will have games like this (not 6 INT bad but still) He will also have good performances. You hope more bad than good and sneak into the playoffs.
A few more of these performances and they will have no choice I'd much rather lose with a young guy playing like complete trash at QB than a never-was
"Smart fans" have realized a long time ago that this dude is a loser as a starting QB in the NFL....Worst QB ever if you need a comeback If we're good enough around Fitz that we can defy the odds and sneak in my point is we could also do it with someone else under center too and probably be better off
Smart fans? Do smart fans really expect to sneak into the playoffs when their team loses to the two teams expected to contend for WC spots in the first 3 weeks of the season? I know who Fitz is and I've been saying it for a while. He's a backup QB who can temporarily elevate with great receivers. A QB like Fitz doesn't fool smart fans. He may break Jets QB records, but that's more of an indictment on how terrible this team has been over the years than it is evidence of his ability.
I understand that you'd rather lose with Geno or Petty. But, again, that's not how people who actually have successful careers in professional sports think. My biggest worry right now is that Bum Kurt Cousins will play just well enough for some idiot team to give him 5 years of starting QB money, and that that idiot team will be us.
I'd rather atleast see how they look with a very good team around them because I was never a Fitz believer People in sports are way too conservative in general....rather die a safe death, rather play "not to lose" We won't see Fitz benched until it would be too late but I'm just venting Agree on Cousins....
felt Fitz was throwing to guys today whether they were open or not. he wasn't going thru progressions, poor game for sure..
What is he capable of? Capable of getting a winning record but never making the playoffs is my assumption.
