man went to harvard. majored in economics. played college ball good enough to get looks. Robs the entire NFL. I wonder what economics classes he took.
Swindling Economics
"Robs the entire NFL" sounds like someone that goes to Harvard
He went to trump U
the right ones
The kind you take at Harvard
dude is a 7th rounder, 250th pick, and has career earnings of 63 million so far. I'm not even mad bro I'm impressed
Economics major
@MR FREEZE-98 it does when you tryna make a lot of money, by managing and figuring out the best ways to trick teams to give him BIG money, he has fooled everyone to make them think he ISNT a godsend talent. He has bad games on purpose, to get demoted to the bench
@@nerdstop5025 so you're saying he's a super villain?
@@thersten not a super villain, but the biggest savage in the universe
Right!
The most dangerous position in football is the 1st string quarterback with Ryan Fitzpatrick sitting on the bench behind you.
It's the most dangerous place in America, even more than the shoulder of a highway.
It's more dangerous than being a snitch against the Clintons
Imagine being the starter qb and you hear Fitz being your back up. I would shit my pants
If the Pats ever get Fitz as a backup, Brady might as well retire before he gets hurt
Pick a bone. Jaw, tibia, skull... This dude is worse than the Madden Curse.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the only qb to beat the patriots as all their division rivals.
Dude is straight playing Career mode lmao
Also he is the first person in 10 years to knock the Patriots out of the first round bye.
Bruh...
And then throw 3 interceptions against New England. Dude is going through the cycle again.
@@GinkgoPete thats the best way to describe Ryan Fitzpatrick
The look evolved too. He went from "I'll have her home by 10 sir" to "She calls me daddy too."

He's a mad genius. He plays well enough to get big contracts but then proceeds to suck so he ends up getting paid to ride the bench without risking injury. Dude probaly sits on the bench investing all that money into the stock market with his Harvard economics knowledge. Dude's probaly a low key billionaire. No wonder the dude has like 7 kid's.
A mad genius. Props to him...I respect him
@@Jonathan-sd8kg Too smart for these jocks lol Fitz will get the last laugh.
He will one day own the NFL
bruh I'm late, but he is actually a genius.
yea... after watching him play i have to say this theory might actually be true, that he sucks on purpose so he can get paid for sitting on the bench basically getting paid for doing nothing lol.. fucking genius. everybody trying to win a superbowl while hes just winning in life.
Fitzpatrick after signing a deal: Ladies and Gentlemen WE GOT HIM
lmao
And the magic is gone

sikid4000 well...he did graduate from Harvard, the top Ivy League school in the country.
well he did graduate with a degree in economics
Barry McCockinner h
Nothing mad about it
John Bobert No I'm serious. I can see him mastering the game and build a careen behind it. Learn how to play well when needed and suck while they depended on you. He's a genius, he's gonna write a book about his career. Mark my word
Coach: we signed someone to back you up
Starter: nice who
Fitz: *walks in and grins*
Starter: 😮
LMAO !!!!
Sooo, you're trying to kill me over a little new age management.
I can’t explain why, but Fitzy has always been one of my favorite players. He’s just a cool guy.
Me as well. God I remember my freshman year of high school, I had like a 13 inch tv in my room with antenna. Always just used it for a PlayStation 1 or VCR. But I decided to try to watch something and caught a Harvard Game and it was fuzzy as shit but a hell of an entertaining game with Fitzpatrick dealing. Followed him since.
That beard
I like to think that FitzMagic and Fitzception are 2 souls trapped in Fitzpatrick, and they're constantly fighting for physical control of the body
Too funny
Haha yes
This needs to be pinned so people will see it before even scrolling.
@Rob Powell unfortunately there can only be 1. Blake bortles has it bad
Hahahahaha true so very true
As a Bills fan, you cannot trust Fitzmagic, he is a good guy and good backup, but it always ends in Fitztragic
big facts me being a bills fan just remember him for a couple good moments or throwing a int in clutch or anytime
as a bucs fan im terrified
And then he turns into Fitzception.
The Bucs are gonna be the next victim of Fitzception. I’m calling it.
As a Bills fan meself, I concur.
Imagine if Ryan Fitzpatrick just woke up one day and went “well my career is almost over let’s see if I can make it to the Super Bowl” that would be quite the sight to see.
I think that’s this year

@@durag2x Thank u sir. Here's your upvote ^
He came from reddit leave him alone 😭
I was thinking that same shiiit haha awesome
Fitzmagic just did it again coming off the bench with a big win against the Las Vegas raiders!
Seriously its insanity the shit this guy pulls. Threw a dime while having his facemask pulled to the ground!
And tua had gotten injured previously....the pattern continues
Honestly I like Fitzpatrick he seems like a good guy
Well he is in my fantasy league so...... should I start him
Verified.brehhh_ no
im toxiq ok 👌
Verified.brehhh_ Don’t listen to him, start that man!
im toxiq thx man I didn’t start him but he did 3 fantasy points
I envy Fitzpatrick. I wish I could convince multiple teams to pay me millions of dollars, only perform to expectations for three games, then stop trying the rest of the season.
What if he was low-key the best qb and his doing it on purpose because he just wants to make money and doesn't really care about football
@@flashv4941 fuck
Hmmm.....
Flash v4 he did major in economics at Harvard of all places so ;)
It's not that he's not trying, he just throws a lot of picks when he goes into Fitztragic mode
this man quoted UrinatingTree 😂
IKR. :D
FUCK YOU SPANOS
When?
FUCK YOU SPANOOOOS
Vete a la mierda Spanos
I played JV when he was varsity QB in high school...one of the coolest, most humble geniuses around
He sounds like it, sounds like a very cool guy to be around to be honest
P Stewart was he great in high school
I call bs
anyone get injured
After watching his 2019 performance with the Dolphins (where his December included 3 wins, 1600+ yards, 10 TDs and stopping the Patriots from getting a bye), I would love to see an updated version of this video.
Thanks for the great work!
Edit: We might look back at that Week 17 Dolphins win as the game that officially ended the Patriot dynasty forever.
Nah it's just more of the same, he's gonna trick the Dolphins into giving him a multi-year eight figure salary, then before you know it he has a lower passer rating than the punter.
@@NumericChaff I agree - maybe wait for his next contract, demotion, then injury of the guy ahead of him before a video update 😂😂
Yep yep and yep
UPDATE: He just eviscerated the Jags (it was the Jags... but still) so he is on the same path. The dolphins better not have any expectations though
@@cruztijerina9855 he got replaced by a rookie
The most confusing player in NFL history
Yeah, he’s up there.
dude is a 7th rounder, 250th pick, and has career earnings of 63 million so far. I'm not even mad bro I'm impressed
He went to Harvard, this was his plan all along to fuk the NFL outta millions... Genius
BALL WIZ brooooo
Andre Bryant and now he left 😂
man if the jags call sam ill be happy anything but blake at this point
Not gonna lie, even though he sucks a lot of the time, he has got to be one of my favorite stories/careers I’ve watched😂 never a dull moment
He isn't even bad lmao, it's more like his constancy is trash lmao. The ratio is like 45/55. In the grand scheme of things he's better than HOF player Joe Mamath
Dude is getting paid millions of dollars to ride the bench. TEACH ME
This man finessed the entire NFL for over $60 million, and I'm not even mad.
Keep stealing 50% of your comments
Don't you morons realize everyone is going to notice
Why would you be mad?
Maybe he’s so smart that he plays superb enough to be signed but wants to be a backup to keep from getting brain damage so he plays bad so that they cut him and gets picked up for a new contract. That way he gets a lot of money and stays in the league for a long time.
This is actually the smartest way to play NFL with what we know about CTE
well he's doing it wrong. Schaub has earned about 30 mil more in his career than fitzpatric has and has been riding the pine for a while.
my thoughts exactly!
Economics
Oh yea that's genius...playing like shit for a whole career just for money
I remember I was watching that 5 int game when he was on the Rams with my dad and I was like “this guy’s a bum. He’ll be out of the league in 2 years.” I was 11 at the time. I’m now 24 and Fitz is still doing his thing. Good on him.
But Ryan, you've already stole millions from the Rams, Bengals, Bills Titans and Jets. What more can you do.
*Steals Millions from the Bucs*
He's only making 3.5 mil a hand.Thats backup money. He hasn't stolen any money .He hasn't made huge money. I mean Cousins is making 28 mil a year and Fitz has more wins than he does.
@@koolkitties8552 I say he has, Fitzpatrick has made over 50 million in his career
@@sahlsenburg Yeah that's for 13 years in the league. Like I said he only makes 3.5 mil this year. He's playing above hus pay grade.
Really... Just gonna take a line from bleacher report. Ok. Unless of course you were just going for a reference and no one got it...
I'm a Steelers fan. And I acknowledge that we are struggling bad this year. So when we were set to play the Bucs who were coming off of back-to-back dominant performances by Fitz, I got to hear it from all of the non-Steelers fans around me that we were going to get crushed. I was like "no, this is Ryan Fitzpatrick. His numbers are completely meaningless." So he came out in the first half and was horrible, and I was happy. Then they came back because our defensive coordinator is an idiot, and they had one more chance to embarrass us. I got several texts like "0-2-1, boy" and I was like "nope. This is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Those previous 3 scores are meaningless." And then he screwed up, they punted, and we won. Fitzpatrick, man. That's how he rolls.
I watched that Texans game on TV when I was a kid. Instant Fitzmagic fan. Glad to see he's still around, doing what he does. His story has always kept me engaged in the NFL and he has always been a consistent entertainer, whether that's been intentional or not. While I'd imagine he's nearing the end of his career, I'd love for him to work his *magic* one or two more times before it's all said and done. Love the guy.
The 2 Wonderlic questions he missed were "how to not throw an interception" and "how to not throw a pass into double coverage"
LOL
Underrated comment! Lol
Is that true?
No
He has the best name for nicknames, Fitzmagic, Fitzception, Fitztragic...
and of course the Fitzhat-trick, when 3 pics are thrown in a game usually in the end zone. All jokes aside I hope he has a great season haha
Dont forget Fitzpicksix
I prefer "The Amish Rifle".
He was also known as Pickspatrick after his game against the Chiefs back in 2016.
Why not Pick Sixpatrick?
Fitzpatrick has a surprisingly high pitched scream.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is me on all madden. I just can't be consistent on the hardest difficulty...
Legit
That's because Madden now is a RNG shitfest that is simply based on luck and "dice rolls" to determine when and what scripted animations will play out. It has little to no skill attached to it anymore. There is no hit stick. There is no depth to it like there used to be. You roll the dice and hope you get the better end of the scripted animations stick such as FG blocks, punt blocks, or interceptions. People shouldn't even support EA's *ZERO* effort $70 roster update year after year. It's an embarrassment to simulation football.
Jacob Taylor the amount of times you repeated yourself and regurgitated shit without actual logic or any sort of example is astounding
sound about right
@Talented Kalamari Beats He definitely is
I can tell you what it is. He has ADHD. He gets a thrill out of being the journeyman, the nomad. The novelty of change. It’s fun for him. He doesn’t purposely suck because it’s apart of his Diabolical plan to take a team for a free ride. He just simply gets, well, bored. He is hyper competitive, but enjoys having fun the most. The moment things start to get too serious he loses focus. Hopefully someone figures out how to keep him focused through a 16 game season....
I agree 100%
That’s an interesting take....I think it’s more that he has a tendency to overplay his talent level once he gets too comfortable and complacent. Gets cocky once and makes mental errors, and doesn’t have the talent level to back that up. He has probably one of the worst arms in the NFL but is great at detecting holes in defenses.
I think he’s starting to ‘get it’ with his stint in the Dolphins and he’s been a lot more consistent there than anywhere else in his career. His stats are deceiving this year and is played some of the best teams in the NFL. I don’t know how much longer he has left in his career, but your ceiling being Chad Pettington is still very good. I can see him going to the Jags after this season for his last 2-3 year stint.
I don’t doubt what you say, but I’m curious how you know he has ADHD.
@@jpusar I agree. However, I think that is a symptom.
@@iansmith3593 I work with ADD/HDHD individuals. Now, I can't be 100% positive. But that is my two cents. I would also say ADD runs rampant in sports. Athletics is a huge outlet for many ADD types. Brett Favre, Chad Johnson, Tony Romo, Jared Allen, Cam Newton, Terry Bradshaw, etc.
Ryan Fitzpatrick: *Gets Signed By A Team*
Starting QB: *Sweats Profusely*
Starting QB: "Not the Face!"
This man has always been one of my favorite NFL players for some reason
I like him too. He plays fun football. He will chance it for a shot at a TD or a big pickup. He’s basically the good old gunslinger like if you’re playing with your friends it’s terrific and you’ll put up 50 points or it’ll be a horrendous meltdown if they pick you off. It makes the game fun. If you’re QBing (which I used to do when my arm was still good) you’re just chancing your receivers if you see a potential and that’s what he does. That’s why he puts up the yardage when he’s got talent.
Me too hes a gunslinger, isnt affraid to throw the ball between defenders
Lmfao this video had me dying laughing. As a jet fan he got us too
TheTEN24 to be fair joe Montana couldn’t have won with the 16’ jets. Especially after decker got hurt
TheTEN24 a Mets and Jets fan.
That must suck
TheTEN24 honestly as a Seahawks fan one of my most favorite things to watch in football is the 2015 Jets, they were just so fun to watch.
Long_Necky Boii im also a Knick fan. I love sports but rooting for them blows everyday
TheTEN24 yeah same. I live in stl, so all I got is a baseball team, rather have a crappy team then no team

Ryan Fitzpatrick has 16 more passing TDs in his career than "HOFer" Troy Aikman, in 44 less starts. Now, as of 9/28/18, Ryan Fitzpatrick remembered he is Ryan Fitzpatrick.
PicksPatric?
Tw1 Only Fitzmagic knows for sure.
But Troy Aikman played with Emmit Smith. Also Fitzpatrick plays in a passing era.
Rafael Campos because of Emmitt Smith, the greatest o line ever, and Micheal Irvin.
What's your point??? Aikman played against defenses that were allowed to knock the piss out of you. Titspatrick plays in an era where a clean hit by Clay Matthews is flagged. Are you saying that Titspatrick is better than Aikman becuase he has more passing TD's??? Because with that type of logic I could say Trent Dilfer is a better QB than Dan Marino just becuase Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring.
Loved the urinating tree shoutout
First Harvard quarterback to ever start in an NFL game.
Fitzpatrick did well for the 2019 Dolphins season

Yeah best the Eagles, my favorite team
@@mattjessgood8918 he has beaten the Eagles on every team hes been on lol
For Fitzmagic to work, a sacrifice must be offered to him. More often than not, it's the first string quarterback
A most worthy sacrifice, Sire
It’s obvious. He has a track record of being a genuis from Harvard and shows “flashes” of “greatness” as an athlete.
Has nobody figured out that he can flat out play but is smart enough to know how to make money?
The theory is simple.
He’s a discreet gambler.
He puts money on himself when no one expects anything out of him. Wins the underdog games, cashes out.
When odds are then in his favor, he bets against himself, throws the game, then cashes out.
Makes money either way and the big contracts he gets when winning is chump change compared to what he makes from gambling.

Ok so let’s say he has this magic talent he can pull out whenever he wants... Wouldn’t he make more money playing like that every game? Between the 9 figure contract and endorsement deals that would come I’d say so...
@@sabinpaul2395 The thing is he's already got a system going, when he started that was a long shot and now that he's here his getting a bit old for endorsement deals so he might as well ride his system out.

He went from hornswoggle to mcgregor lol
Yoooooooooo 😂
Its called the Fitzcycle: signed as back-up , named starter at some point, wins games, becomes a favorite in match-ups plays like shit, rinse and repeat. Some would call him the poorman's Brett Farve(most turnovers of all time) in that he is "gunslinger" style QB who creating plays based on "luck" with a 50/50 TD/turnover ratio. I would still take him over Nathan Peterman any day of the week.
You'd take him over the greatest defensive player in NFL history? Shame on you sir. Shame on you.
If Ryan signs with you your starter is getting injured 100%. 🤣🤣
But what if the starter is gone and Fitz the starter?!?!?

Wait a second...no SeatGeek plug?
Fianllllyyyy
I know its strange. But what's not strange is the prices SeatGeek can get you when you use promo code KTO at checkout.
if he actually wanted to be in the NFL he’d be considered elite but he just wants to have a contract and be benched
I would gladly do that as well.
cash carti now do you know
I mean honestly, you play dynamically at time to convince people you’re starter material. Catch a big contract and then ride the bench while keeping your health lol he’s so fucking smart it’s crazy
I bet he's also richer than most Elite QB's as well.
Maybe we're getting punked by a genius. Economics major and he's made a bunch of dough. Just sayin'.

Who’s here after Ryan Fitzpatrick announced his retirement today 6/2/22. Good by Fitzmagic. You will be missed far more than you could ever realize.
This is a guy who, when he's on, can top some of the all-time greats, like Tom Brady and Drew Brees. It's just too bad he's off so often.
This guy is still one of my favorite players
A couple things I always think when someone brings up Fitzpatrick at the current time:
-Fitzpatrick has always been a gambler at QB. He's hyper aggressive, and willing to challenge DB's on balls that arent 50/50. This has endeared him to almost every team he's been on, because skill position players especially know he will respect their ability, believe in them to the point of endangerment. This is also because, hell, you be a 7th round pick in this league and get to start. Noone wants to go out with a ultra conservative dink/dunk whimper, whats the worst that can happen? You get _benched?_ Golly gee, what a threat! You can't threaten a guy like that, he's got nothing to lose because he often has nothing to begin with. It's that exact attitude why Bucs receiver Desean Jackson has stuck his neck out for him; their relationship has paid dividends downfield in ways it never materialized with Winston.
-With exception to maybe this Buccaneers team offensively (the offensive line is still...offensive at times, lets be frank) he's never had a great team. There are incredibly few QB's you describe as a "truck" in which they pull the team along regardless, so it's not exactly insulting to say Fitzpatrick isn't a truck. And even during his 10-6 Jets season, people forget that was a team that was incredibly top heavy talent wise with major flaws on the roster. The next season, as many surprise teams do, they regressed to the mean as those high profile players slowed or got hurt. It was only natural their flaws would show through. Past coordinators from Buffalo and teammates from other teams mention how they felt they failed him as a QB, that the talent level was never really there and he had to do too much to compensate for the roster flaws. Looking back on it, its hard to disagree.
-Even if you cant believe Fitzpatrick is possibly in the drivers seat of an offense, again, at least for 1 more week (Chicago) the reality is even if Jameis Winston hadnt gotten suspended, the former top pick to me hasn't showed enough on film or off the field to committ to him anymore over an older Fitzpatrick. He's a maddening talented pile of inconsistency at best. You can understand where Fitzpatrick's turnovers come from, they come from a aggressive attitude in the passing game even when its ill advised. Winston's come from poor decision making in general; a significant gap exists between going for 50/50 throws and just making a bad read time and again on 25/75 balls. He's just not shown in any respect why this team should committ to him beyond this season. That Fitzpatrick has endeared himself to this team, and coaching staff, in a way that we're even having this discussion *again* about this player, over a former top pick, tells you just how fall public/internal perception has fallen of Winston. And while I don't think they should make Fitz the long term starter (past this season) the fall from grace for Winston may ensure their best chance at winning relies with the old Harvard alum. Weird as it may seem to say that.
Dude, you should have your own channel with that analysis.
Very good analysis. Fitz’s bad throws tend to at least make logical sense most of the time but end in ints from failed routes or the fact his arm isn’t that of some QBs but overall they’re not the worst decisions that could be made. He typically doesn’t telegraph his throws which is a downfall of a lot of QBs he can actually read a defense, he just chances it more. However he’s been on a lot of really really lousy teams and he’s made the most of what he had. If he’s paired with any sort of talent he looks like a million bucks. Barring his own injury (or meltdown which I doubt happens, I could see him being benched from top down management) Tampa is so stacked with receivers he could really show what could have been had a team built around him instead of him being a perrenial backup. I’ve long thought Buffalo should have simply kept him all these years and built a receiver corps and o line around him.
Seems to me like seeing it through rose coloured glasses. If he can do it, when nobody expect anything from, but sucks, when there are expectations, that means something: He sucks, when it matters. And that is his problem. And the 2015 Jets Team was good. The o-line didn´t suck, he had Marshall and Decker, his secondary was good and the D-Line was superior. But he fucked it up in Buffalo. And the next season he even fucked it up more.
Buffalo was not a overall talented team when he was there, certainly not one to merit much consideration. He essentially got the job due to Trent Edwards issues and the fact the HC was going to get fired at the end of the year anyhow. Many of the teams biggest names were still players trying to find their way at that time (or just trying to stay out of trouble). I guess "thinking" you have a guy leads to expectations, even if they dont fit reality. And the reality was those middling teams had no business in the playoff picture anyhow, any of those years. There just wasn't enough around him to compete with the Jets and Patriots at that timeframe let alone other AFC heavyweights. I struggle to see what would've given them 4+ wins in most of those circumstances to make good on the rediculous promise that is any QB that even appeared viable to a starving Buffalo crowd...
The 2015 Jets was as I said, top heavy. Darrell Revis fell off a cliff as a CB, while Cromartie left in general. Skrine has never been a No. 1 CB and asking him to be at that point was trouble. He was always a bridesmaid. Damon Harrison left to help fuel a defensive led "rebirth" of the Giants before also succumbing to the mean as a team. Mangold went to IR, Decker to IR, Brandon Marshall couldn't gain seperation and aside from Williams at DT the team essentially whiffed both draft classes. Moreover, the 2016 Jets lead the league in dropped passes; Brandon Marshall only behind Michael Crabtree in drops with 8 in the league. D'brickashaw Ferguson, an excellent player, retired and his intended replacement Ryan Clady was average at best before getting hurt again.
This was a team that wasn't impressive prior to that season, nor after. Like I said, the type of play they had was not sustainable with aging stars and no reinforcements. Fitzgerald probably got more out of that team then any other non "truck" QB could, even with the botched final game of the season. Don't need rose tinted glasses to see that team had no depth and no business being in the playoff conversation beyond that season.
But you don´t get my main argument. Even with the better team, he couldn´t get it done. He choked in Buffalo, I´ve seen the game live. And that´s my problem. He can´t work with pressure. If you expect something from Fitzmagic, you´re screwed. And I´m sorry: I remember the game with his six picks. I´ve seen his three picks last monday. Sometimes he can do the job, but sometimes he fucks it up in an impressive fashion. He´s too good to be a Clipboard Holder, but he is too bad to be reliable Starting QB.
He's America's backup QB. Don't use him too much though or you ruin the Fitzmagic.
Him and Tyrod Taylor
This needs to be updated after last night's Dolphins' win in Las Vegas ... the saga continues!
At some point the league should just pass Fitz around so he ends up playing for every team.
@@howardbaxter2514 at this rate he might
Fitzmagic slowly transformed over the years into his final form perfect fitzmcgregor.
Now do one on Josh Mccown!
He's nothing like Fitz, he actually plays good consistently but can never stay healthy
"There's this dude who sucks, but he looks like the guy who would play a quarterback in a movie, so people keep signing him. He's also got a little brother who sucks worse than him, but somehow managed to coat-tail ride into the league even though he looks like a guy who would be a gym teacher in the movies, and his big brother sucks too." That would be a short video, man. So let's do some other mediocre white dudes.

Chris Simms: "He's like if Tim Hasselbeck had Josh McCown's looks, and the big brother was his dad instead."
Eli Manning: "Josh McCown's skills, Tim Hasselbeck's brother, and Chris Simms's dad. Only this time the brother is a Hall of Famer, so everyone treats this schlub like he's a Hall of Famer, too. Looks like he was dropped as a baby."
Chad Pennington: "What if Dan Marino had a noodle arm and played for the f***ing Jets?"
Phillip Rivers: "What if Chad Pennington had Tim Tebow's religion and a completely insufferable ego?"
Jay Cutler: "What if there was someone who was the exact opposite of Chad Pennington? Well, he'd be mediocre too."
Rex Grossman: "What if there was someone who was the exact opposite of Phillip Rivers, but you gave him a funny name?"
Tim Tebow: "What if you crossed Mark Bavaro with a Baptist missionary, and then Urban Meyer let him play quarterback?"
Chase Daniel: "Who the f*** is Chase Daniel? That doesn't sound like a real person."

@@JonPITBZN How dare you call Chad Pennington mediocre!? 😂 He was a fucking stud who just got injured too much. He is one of the most accurate QBs ever. I use him a lot when I go back to play NFL 2K5.
They all white boys who get a chance before a black QB does
woohoo a KTO upload
notifacation squaaaaad
thanks for the heart dude
you made my day
More like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAA a KTO upload
fast forward to 2019 josh rosen gets bets for another dash of fitzmagic
Paul St. Marie fitzmagic is going off for Miami haha
I have thoroughly enjoyed Fitzmagics career. But then he never played for my team
Quest4Adventure same
Great video, but one mistake. You said his great year with the Jets was 2016, that was actually 2015.
Yeah it said his good year with the Jets was 2016 but that was his bad year and it said 2017 was his bad year with the Jets but that was his first with the Bucs
This man appeared out of nowhere and is leading the league.
@I ruined A franchise right did he even see the video
7:38 I think Fitzpatrick likes football
Never... ever change your music. When that “wooooooh” comes in, you know some fire shit bout to take place
Fitz is a damn maniac and I’m absolutely here for it!
As a jets fan that 2016 season hurt so bad.
From, innocent academic scholar, "Leave it to Beaver", to beer swigging thug, "Connor McGregor"!!!
UrinatingTree and KTO collab would be interesting
Or tps and five points vids
thenewjord50 nah tps sucks. I cringe my ass off every time I see that mike cantalupo 😂
Tw1 yeah him too
Horsey McHorseFace d.
Congrats on your retirement, Ryan. Even as a Patriots fan, to see your achievements over 17 years in football is astonishing. Enjoy your retirement and happy trails!
It happened again today
I think he's just a evil genius who learned how to beat the system..he waits it out long enough for the starters and backup qbs get injured then he goes in and dominates just enough to get people to take notice..once he gets the big money contracts he stops trying and purposely plays like crap so they put him back on the bench and trade him at the end of the season..the team is out a bunch of money and he out like a ghost. It's the big con.
I genuinely think he did this. I think he could have been a hall of famer if he wanted, but who cares if you have 18 mil in publicly known assets and the rest of the 60 million you made is sitting in the bank. Man pulled off the biggest heist that was 100% legal probably in history. At least top 5. And all he had to do was go sicko mode, get paid, act like your trying, but don't try and suck. Rinse and repeat
Lmfaooo the screaming at the end was perfect way to cap the vid
Damn that Jake Locker reference, a name I completely forgot about, had to google him to see what ever happened to him.
Fitzpatrick is one of my favorite NFL players of all time, up there with Brian Urlacher, Fitzgerald, Steven Jackson, and Devin Hester. This is my own personal top players, who I actually got to watch and just be in awe of their talent. One of my favorite interviews is when Fitzpatrick brought up his son to answer math problems, it shows he values intelligence while still being a little bit goofy! And that is his sweet spot!
Legend. Congrats for your incredible career, fitz!
Now, he's doing the exact same thing to Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay, albeit without injury. This guy is Starting QB Kryptonite!
December 2019. Ooops he did it again!
thersten and he’ll be bad again next year
@@MsKimba18 wanna make a wager? He lost by 3 million votes last time. Now with all his corruption he has no chance to win in 2020. 😂😂😂
Honestly,one of the most interesting players of all time
Your name suits you. The amount of information you provide on any subject is incredible!
This was a crazy amazing video! Thank you!
Who’s here when Ryan Fitz Patrick is on the dolphins
Hes now a backup for tua.
Tua:😬😬😬😬😬😬
yep
@@mitchmac9287 hahaha of course Tua got injured!
I remember when Carson Palmer got hurt and Ryan Fitzpatrick balled out on the bengals
Last time we played the bucs and were leading Jamison goes down.. then he comes in balling on us just didn't have enough time
Fitzpatrick has been in the league 13 years and played for 8 teams but has never started in a playoff game.
That intro. “Fitzpatrick, with time, INTERCEPTED” the perfect sentence of what Fitzy is
WHAT A GENIUS VIDEO!!
And as a Skins fan... I am in NO RUSH for him to get back on the field!!
He’s the better option then Heinicke
