If you add two scrub QB's together, do they equal one decent QB? WILL HE WEAR Richard Todds beloved 14?

i think the plan now is geno and fitz, if at 6 mariota there jets will grab him, if not they pick another position and have geno fight for the job. I want the drew brees trade to happen but now its unlikely i think.

And he is only under contract for a year and $3.25 mil. I guess. Fitzpatrick is one of the few qb's out there that I hope isn't playing over geno smith. I guess anyone is better than vick for another year.

Fitz last two seasons:
62.5% completions 31 TDs (4.7% TD Rate) 20 Ints (3.0% Int Rate) 7.5 Yards per Attempt QB Rating ~89
Geno last two seasons:
57.5% Completions 25 TDs (3.1% TD Rate) 34 Ints (4.2% Int Rate) 6.9 Yards per Attempt QB Rating 71.5
Fitz may not be a pro bowler, but he is likely to give us better play than we have gotten over the last few years. Would be better for the long term if Geno can step up and give us better production, but Fitz is a decent alternative if he does not.

MM has set this up perfectly. A low cost veteran to compete with Geno. Then he drafts a QB. Hopefully Mariota early, or a Petty/Hundley/ Grayson later.

VaGeno has to realize that his days are numbered. Either his game improves significantly or he will be our former QB real soon -- which is fine by me. He is the only piece holding this team/organization back. Defense is solid and he now has weapons. No more excuses.

We don't need him to be an all-pro, just a game manager which he is perfectly capable of doing. He is familiar with Gailey's offense and a solid vet to mentor Geno or even Mariota/Winston if it comes down to that. Love the move. We can pretty much go anywhere with 6 and still be comfortable. Hell, even if we took Mariota what are the odds he'd be the day one starter unless he won outright in training camp? Solid mentor, solid vet, solid trade for cheap.

well this seems ridiculous to me, whether or not Fitz had a decent season should have nothing to do with picking up a QB in this year's draft, the guy is here for a season
