    Great minidoc here. He was always loved in Buffalo, wish he would've come back for one more season and a potential playoff game. But just as well, the guy played his heart out and more than deserves a happy retirement.

      We loved him in Cincy too. He found his way here. He went from being a nothing 7th pick to a guy you could absolutely count on to hold the fort down.

    the idea of a harvard alumn with a bachelors in economics taking so much money from multiple NFL owners by playing well enough to get signed, but blow it enough that he'll get traded away to repeat the cycle is really gratifying to me

    It's incredible that Fitz never played for the 3 teams my family follows. Even more incredible that we still love/respect the guy to death. While he was never really "elite", he also had to literally deal with a new cast of players, coaches, and coordinators every season or two and he still kept chuggin. Nobody wanted to see Fitz on the other side of the field waiting to come in during an injury or blowout because you knew he was going to beat your ass as a backup. Strange he couldn't keep that consistent enough to be a full time starter for more than a season or two. Still, ultimate journeyman!

    • @CyrilAndPriscilla
      @CyrilAndPriscilla 10 місяців тому

      @@RickyIcecubes That's actually not true. The Bills signed him to be their number one franchise QB and gave him a massive 6 year, $59 million contract with a $10 million signing bonus and $15 million guaranteed. They traded him two years after than contract, but they did sign him as their number one. I would agree that, other than those two years, he was signed as a bridge QB or QB2. But you said "no one ever signed him to be their franchise QB"--- and that's just not true.
      Also, even those years he was signed as a bridge QB-- Jets, Tampa Bay and Washington come to mind--- he was still signed to be the STARTER not the BACKUP.
      He broke the Jets franchise record in 2015 for most number of TDs as the starting QB.
      He also holds the NFL record for starting for the most number of different teams-- nine.
