    How heavy do you THINK Fitz actually is? I know you looked up 225 but Ryan Fitzpatrick was also listed as 6'3" 234 at his combine, you dont actually believe these websites do you? Pull up any recent tape of Fitz, right now he's a scroungy little 61" noodle arm QB.

    Opinions will change this time next year on the 2015 class, just like how everyone wanted to tank 2013 for Bridgewater (now almost everyone hates on him).

    Lol you are buying media hype to believe the last month of "scouting"

    That happens to every media darling prospect. Teddy still top QB. Only teams going bortles are more interested in size/upside.

    Bortles progressions are still a bit chaotic.

    There are many guys who don't "look" their size. Every guys carries his weight a little differently. I'll go with the people who have actually measured the guy and put him on a scale over someone who sees him from a bird's eye view or on their television set. Fitz isn't Big Ben but he isn't Johnny Football either.

    He's closer to Bironas' size TBH 6'0" 210. Im not saying this off watching him on TV either, Ive seen these guys live in person after games when they come to the sidelines handing out gloves and stuff.

    Standing next to Jackie Battle who is a legit 6'2" guy Fitz is smaller. Also, the weights are taken before the season even starts, after 17 weeks of games these guys aren't those same sizes. Chris Johnson bulks up to 210-215 so by December there's still 195 lbs left of him. When I say Fitz is a featherweight, Im basing my statements off how he looks when he plays in games. Not what the team inflates him to be.

    Johnny Manziel for instance swore he was 6-feet tall, but at the combine he was a bit off. I dont really go by what a paper says, much rather see for myself.

    I can understand all this but you have to be realistic in understanding the limitations of the "eye ball test". Most people can give a decent estimation of height but are usually way off on weight. People who weigh and measure these guys at the NFL combine are unbaised and really have no reason to lie about a guy's measurables. In fact I'm sure they take accurate measurements like their job depends on it because it does.

    This isn't to say that there can be no discrepancy between what a guy weighs at the combine at what he weighs in the 5th year of his career but usually you'll find that if a difference in weight exists the player will be heavier not lighter than before. If you prefer to go with your gut on things like this that's fine but you can't expect the rest of us to take it at face value. Even less so when all available official records disagree with your assessment.

    Haha wut? He's hurt all the time I don't care if he injures the same injury or something new the fact of the matter is he is injury prone. He has played one complete season in the last 7 years. Injuries are the norm not an anomaly so to sit here and claim six years of bad luck is absurd and you are obviously biased. I don't care about measurables were not talking measurables so lets stay on topic and measurables mean **** when your in a walking boot or sling. The offseason? How did we get to offseason now We were discussing his fragileness. I'll bite though. How did I fail to realize there weren't better options? Never once did I advocate any FA QB and the offseason isn't over yet, forget about the draft?
