Fitz would be the perfect backup behind Allen
- jdfitz77


I agree with this. Fitz actually would’ve been good if he didn’t have a noodle arm.

He literally did everything.

Read defense
Audibles
Made progressions

Etc

The only issue was throwing tight window throws with his noodle arm that would get intercepted.

He’s a season ticket holder just like you! You know all!

And EJ had an all star team in college and still wasn’t great. He did the same exactly stuff with the bills that he did in college.

- Sabretooth9

BS


his strength coming into the pro was powerful arm, and mobility


they literally did not let him do either as a bill, it was all dink and dunk as a bill

they were trying to make him more like Scott Mitchell

and florida state was anything but a star team those years

people are stupid.. the bad part is there are millions of people that believe this woke crap... exhibit gerbe
- SabresFaninIndiana


The “bad part” is that so many (moronic) ppl pay so much attn to all these loud mouthed idiots just yelling their bullsh!t louder than the dipsh!t they’re debating with

Then they waste even more of their lives talking about whatever ______ said on their terrible talk show

Idk who’s worse:
the hosts themselves, or the idiots who watch their shows constantly- thus legitimizing them

Turn the radio/tv/twitter/etc off

I'd be happy with him or Trubisky

I’d feel much more comfortable with Fitz

FSU was loaded. Crab legs Winston won a national champ a year after EJ left

EJ held that team back from greatness

3300 yards and 23 TDs with a loaded roster.

Winston with the game roster a year later

4000 yards and 40 tds and a national championship with a side of crab legs

Fitz would be solid

Can win you a few games if Allen goes down

Plus he is beloved in Buffalo and he actually likes it in Buffalo

But I think they go younger

- Stripes77


They did draft Fromm last year,
so there is some youth
Plus Allen is pretty young himself
I think a Vet presence would be helpful
Fitz is smart too- almost like another coach

Oh okay. So EJs 23 tds in his final year is good. My bad

All mock drafts and nfl analysts had him as a 3rd or 4th round pick.


So again. My bad. I’m dumb

A freshman then comes in with a much more impressive season with 40 tds.

No big deal. I’m dumb again

for 1 game or coming off the bench in the middle of the game, agreed


not sure I would want him for an extended stretch over trubisky. partly because I think trubisky has a lot of upside if he had average coaching (nagy is too conservative IMO)

yeah you are dumb on this one, you have no clue how ej was in college, looking at stats from year to year


I'll give you a free tip

the last few years when bobby was the coach, fsu was anything but a big football school

lousy recruiting

average records


jimbo takes over in 2010

recruiting classes get really good, and wow year 4 of his recruits (first class are now sr.s) they win a nation tittle

- Sabretooth9

agreed


Strengths:
Dual-Threat Quarterback
Powerful arm
Excellent mobility
Size & strength
Escapability
Experienced
Quick release



that was his strenghs



bills clearly did not coach him to his strengths, hence he failed



and he never should have been a first rd pick

His weaknesses stayed the same as they were in college.

Hence why I said he sucked in college and terrible in the pros.

He played the same way he did in both leagues

And you saying he shouldn’t have been a first round pick. You are agreeing with me. He wasn’t good in college.

If he was good. He would’ve been a sure fire first round pick by draft media and anyone scout

The bills reached big time.

Thank homie. I’ll be here all week.

I remember buddy nix saying at a pre draft luncheon that ej couldn't make pro throws. Then he went out and drafted him. At least they were able to land Kiko with the extra 2nd rounder from STL

- Michael Pachla

he was decent with the deep ball

average at best in the middle throws


could step out of the pocket and make a play with his feet if needed


I hated the pick, only way it would have been worse, was if it was geno
There was no pro qb's in that class and the bills had no business drafted one

should have traded a mid pick to get a backup from another team

and if your gonna reach and draft him, play to his strengths not his weakness

So if goaltending holds us back again, do we blame Adams? Or Brandon Beane since that's who Adams takes orders from

Seriously if they don't get a goaltender and they're bad again it's just another check mark on the failure that is the Pegulas running a hockey team

That's insane if they don't get one and it comes back to haunt them.

Keep the goalies the same
Keep the bad #4 D man who the coach plays as a #1 (The Bills have a VERY good #4)
Keep the other bad RD and play him at LD with the other bad RD

Expect massive improvments.
