Ryan Fitzpatrick
Side rant...
Buddy of mine and I were talking fantasy football players and this guy came up. If you look at his stats and career, he may be the greatest journeyman backup QB of all-time. It's proven you're not going to win with him as the consistent starter, but the dude has had one hell of a career. Started 135 games - terrible W/L ratio @ 53-81-1 (8 teams) 31,623 yards 203 TDs / 159 INTs Compare that to someone like, I dunno ... Aikman. (no, not suggesting he's better than Aikman, but it supports the 'crazy stats' argument of the last 20 years) Started 165 games - W/L of 94-71 (1 team) 32,942 yards 165 TDs / 141 INTs 30 fewer games, almost the same yards with 38 more TDs and 18 more INTs. During the summer, I read an article talking about the great journeyman career of Josh McCown... he doesn't touch Fitzpatrick. Fitz is up there with Krieg, Deberg and Collins (all 6 teams) - even Vinny T was with 7 teams... and Fitz has banked over $58M in 14 years. Not too shabby with over $1M per career win. Anyway - back to your regularly scheduled program. And, no ... this is not an endorsement for Denver's next journeyman in 2020. |

I'd sign him up as a backup for sure.

Yeah, they'll have to deal with that sin... anyway, simply posted this because I never really looked at his career numbers. And, was thinking back to prior "best QB" debates and how numbers since the mid 90s are through the roof.

You could do a lot worse than Fitz. He seems like a good dude, and he has a killer beard.

What do you call two gay Irish football players?
Offensive linemen Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald

He's not a star QB of course, but another thing to take into account is that several of the teams he played for were fairly shitty. Joe Vitt era Rams. Mike Munchak era Titans. The Dolphins are or were in tank mode this year.
Maybe he could've been good with a decent coach and a stable organization. |

I liked the one from yesterday - he has now thrown a TD vs Eagles with 7 different teams, IIRC.

I wonder if there is ANY QB in NFL history that anything close to this.

Fun fact:
Miami Dolphins veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick made history on Sunday in the AFC East club's Week 13 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Harvard product became the first player in NFL history to throw a touchdown against a single opponent for seven different franchises.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is the QB you bring in when you're all-pro QB goes down for 6-8 games but not the entire season. Because after 6-8 games, Fitz is figured out. But before then he lights it up
