    Agreed.

    But I did warn everyone before the Chiefs game that he'd be a turnover machine.

    Regardless, he actually looked pretty damn good at times... and pretty awful at times as well.

    Definitely the best backup QB in the league last year (that I can think of)... Unless you count Foles.

    home L to the Tarpkitties was all FitzTragic

    but hey useless slag put up some numbers, but made the 1 play that ensured a Titans L.

    Titans were 4-4 heading into that game third game of an unprecedented 5 game home losing streak.

    say what you want about him but hes a loser

    I wouldn't say that was all him because locker started that game and looked absolutely terrible. Couldn't get a first down with him behind center against that terrible D. We actually moved the ball much better when fitz came in to that game. Plus our great Cj0K fumbled on the first offensive snap too which I remember clearly.

    Congrats to Fitz beating out Case Keenum, Tom Savage and TJ Yates for the starter job in Houston....Yates has since been waived.

    How do you figure? Yeah he had a fumble but he completed 66% with 2 TDs (+1 rushing) and 0 INT. Meanwhile your boy Jake had a fumble and an INT in the 30 seconds he was actually in the game before getting injured AGAIN. Also CJ lost two fumbles in the game, including one on the opening possession, and rushed for a highlight-reel-worthy 30 yards.

    Completely absurd to put the entire loss on Fitz over one play. Look, I'm not saying he didn't suck last year. I'm just saying he was the backup and was forced to play more than any team would like their backup to play. And not surprisingly, he played like a backup for the most part. With as bad as this team was as a whole last year, I don't think it's fair to put any loss on any one player. I might make an exception for MeJ on that because he's supposed to be our "playmaka" and "face of da franchize" and tings like dat. But really, at the end of the day the passing game was not equipped to pick up the slack of the run game and run game was not equipped to pick up the slack of the passing game. And the defense certainly wasn't winning any games for us. We just flat out sucked. All around team effort.

    No he single handily lost us games. When he steps out of his manager role, it gets real ugly.

    To be honest when I first saw this thread I thought it was JC just making things up again.

    Why the hell would you announce your starter in OTAs?

    "Yeah, Ryan was playing lights out in his shorts and shoulder pads throwing to his guys in no contact practice. We really didn't have a choice but to name him the starter.."

    The Texans could field nothing but blind retards and we would still find a way to drop a game to them.

    Probably a good time to mess with the mootards on their board. The only thing is their fans might not exist this year since they were bottom of the barrel.
