In my league, I am the only one to have owned Terry. I intend on keeping it that way. It feels like a 3rd or 4th round pick now. I bet he posts big numbers with Fitzmagic. Because Fitzmagic (and his ugly duo Fitztragic) will be throwing the ball his way often.

For sure, Thomas will benefit from this too. One of good things about Fitz is he will give receivers multiple chances every game.

Rodgers turned out ok. Is Rodgers sitting around mentoring Jordan Love? No. Yes you can learn from a vet by watching but that is as far as it should go. Heinike and Allen don't need anyone to hold their hands. If a QB needs his hand held and needs to be coddled by a vet then you got the wrong guy.

Your prime example is a qb who sat for 3 years before getting his shot? Come on.

Obviously Rodgers isn't holding Love's hand, probably far from it tbh, but guys like Allen and Heinicke are young and can definitely benefit from the Fitzpatrick perspective. You can't duplicate experience.

The thing I don't get is I saw someone type Fitz could throw 4td's or 4int's he'll be exciting but then they say NO to Winston. I hope I'm proved wrong. I've always been overly optimistic with this team but I can't be for this. I hope our defense plays lights out.

There was no way New Orleans was going to let Winston go. So that's why he was a no for me.

I’ll take it

I see what you did there with putting Heinicke first in QB order. 😉

Ha...good eye! I think Fitz is the starter but interesting that John Clayton and a couple others have mentioned, Skins still in for Darnold of price comes down

Dianna Russini:

I spoke to a source in Washington about the possibility of the WFT trading with the Jets for QB Sam Darnold.

I was simply told “don’t waste your time”

[GridIron26]

I think the only way we are still interested in Darnold is if he is available for 3rd day pick.

Well the problem with Winston is he's that type that can throw 4 TDs and/or 6 ints.

Favre won one SB on stacked teams. He lost countless playoff games with horrible picks. The problem is Fitz isn't as talented as Favre.

When is the last time Fitz threw for 5,000 yards. Agree they both throw int's.

C- grade signing. He is a 38 year old QB with a career losing record and a very low career QB rating. I understand the logic, better than trading draft picks or signing a similar above average but not great QB to a long term deal, and conventional but incorrect thinking is you need a dependable guy to bridge until you find a long-term answer. So we now have two stopgaps on roster, Fitz and Allen, who are NOT long term answers. If we draft a QB and cut Allen, this move looks a lot better, but we should be looking for long-term solutions. If we go into season with Heinecke, Fitz, and Allen at QB that is atrocious as only one QB is potential long term answer. What keeps this grade from being a D or F is that there are very limited options in free agency. Fitz is not leading us to a SB, we should be looking for QBs with potential to be long-term franchise SB winners. The proper move is to draft 1 QB and go with Heinecke, Allen, rookie, or ideally 2 rookies and Heinecke, and use $10M to resign Allen and others long term. Is our goal to win the participation trophy of an early playoff exit, or find a franchise QB that can win the big one? This is the problem with coach as GM, short term thinking. This is NOT the move Smith would have made if still GM. He would have drafted QBs.

So we have now spent $28M on Scherff and Fitz, while Allen isn't extended. F-ing brilliant. A competent FO would have locked up Allen first.

The single most important thing a GM or FO can do is get QB right. Our FO has not as of yet. We also read that Fitz is now the de facto starter. Sure there will be competition, but we need to be favoring younger players who could be long-term answer. I would much rather go 7-9 with Heinecke and know he isn't the answer, or go 7-9 with Heinecke and know he is the answer, than waste a year with a 38 year old QB who has never won a SB and is never going to win one for us. What may happen is that we start Fitz and never get a good enough look at Heinecke to see if he is the future, meaning next year we're right back in the exact same spot. This is a case study in why you don't give coach GM powers. All we are doing is sacrificing long-term for the short. It would actually be smarter to start Heinecke all year and if he isn't the answer you draft top 5 and get a franchise QB.
