Did he say fitz would start Thursday’s dress rehearsal?
Ugh
Very disappointing.

They're still trying to motivate Rosen.

Fitz was under duress with that 2nd team o line but seriously why start rosen then yesterday?
I know he hates that rosen bail out on contact almost pick throw it was god awful but come on fitz is a nobody

My guess is he'll start the second half with the ones against the ones
It's supposed to be a fair competition so we'll see. I don't think flores made up his mind yet tbh. He did start Rosen last night so we'll see.
He said, "we'll PROBABLY start him next week." Fitz was supposed to start game 2 and they switched to Rosen last minute. We won't know until the game.

Would assume he wanted a 'look' to see where Rosen is at … but would totally expect FITZ to start on THU and into the break.
THEN we'll really see what direction we are headed in … of course, there are a few variables involved - and isn't just straight forward Rosen outta the break!!

The coach "glows" when he talks about Fitz. You can tell he really likes the guy.
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that.
Where coach Flores needs to be careful is in deciding what's best for the team presently and in the future.
This can't/isn't Fitz team for any significant period of team.
The emphasis needs to be can this be a Rosen team? This question needs to be answered as soon as possible.
My early impression is barring something insane they already know Rosen isn't the guy to lead this team in the future.
As such, They're evaluating him more as a back-up/trade potential piece.
Of course, A 2nd round pick for a back-up is extremely expensive.

Don't agree with this. Flores may like Fitz because he's likable not because he believes he is his starter.
Rosen is being pushed by Flores, he doesn't need to do that with Fitz.

Good point. I think Rosen outplayed Fitz in game two, but it's not an apples to apples comparison with the second team offense. Make Rosen earn it. That's how it should be.

Signs seem to be pointing in that direction. We'll see. I think a lot changes if the light goes on for Rosen. Fitz is clearly a stopgap. He's essentially a Mark Sanchez, a quality backup and a fringe starter. He'll give you a good game here and there, but the consistently is lacking. The same reason Don Stock wasn't staring when Miami had Woodley.

We have 16 games to evaluate if we wasted two draft picks on Rosen, or if we got a steal. They shouldn't be wasting one minute on Fitzpatrick. Start Rosen and let him, either sink or swim. The worst that can happen is we end up at the top of the draft next year. The best is we have our qb, and we can use those picks to better this roster. I really hope we didn't hire another fool as a coach.
