We value possessions, play strong D and we win.
Then I looked up his stats. Fitzpatrick is second in the league in time from snap to throw at 2.2 seconds, behind Big Bens 2.1.

I was a "no to fitz" person 5 mins ago and am now putting his name in the hat with the 15 other options we have.
Interesting plan C if we dont draft a 1st rounder or get a Stafford type guy. |
Look at the accuracy %, bad throw % and then the air yards stats between Alex Smith and Fitzpatrick.
That should bring context as what’s being being asked of the QB. The air yards attempt/completions.
It’s really not a comparison, Fitzpatrick blows Alex Smith out the water
Honestly, both working with similar talent too with the pass catchers
