The Simms QB countdown, No. 28: Ryan Fitzpatrick - ProFootballTalk

On Thursday, we paused the Chris Simms Top 40 quarterback countdown on PFT Live in order to devote the full show to the ongoing conversation regarding a moment of profound change in America. On Wednesday, we unveiled two more. Quarterback No. 28 is a quarterback who seemingly has played for 28...

Impressive # of TD's?

IDK, but it obviously wasnt for last season.

Fitz was, no doubt, better than 28 last year, both statistically, and even moreso, as far as intangibles.

I'm not saying he has any future at his age, but 28 for last season is ridiculous.

career

(TD's)
More than Kurt Warner. More than Randall Cunningham. More than Phil Simms. More than Ken Anderson. More than Bobby Layne, Ken Stabler, Bob Griese, Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Joe Namath, Norm Van Brocklin, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach.

Yeah......

Irrespective of TDs, and my previous post, Fitz doesn't sniff the top 50 all time for sure, and not in the top 100, IMO.

Since it is hugely subjective, and really apples to oranges, in a lot of cases, I'm not going to waste my time with a list, but the lack of high pressure playoff performances says a lot.

You may be right... Given the 8 teams he's played on he has been a special player in terms of making the best out of a profession that, for most, would have been hard pressed to hang in there as long as he has.

Most wouldn't dare compare him to the greats... but he has been great playing the role he's played.

IMO of course

Even more than his favorite legend, Chris Simms, ie himself.
 
It's amazing some of the names he's thrown touchdowns to. I wonder who some of his favorite recievers were. I'm sure there are a thousand good stories he could tell!
 
I had to laugh at this:

“More than Kurt Warner. More than Randall Cunningham. More than Phil Simms. More than Ken Anderson. More than Bobby Layne, Ken Stabler, Bob Griese, Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Joe Namath, Norm Van Brocklin, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach.”

As in ha-ha-ha-haha. There’s not one guy in that list that Fitz could have traded places with and been successful. He stinks. He’s always stunk. He’s never led a team to a playoff appearance. Ugh Fitz is atrocious. Number 28 is perfect for him. 32 teams - yes perhaps he’s better than 4 other guys. That really sounds about right.
 
On the positive side, look who was #8 last year...

Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson headline NFL's top 10 deep passers

Everybody loves the deep ball. Which quarterbacks throw it best? Nick Shook dove into Next Gen Stats from the 2019 season to find an answer. Check out his top 10 deep passers. (No. 1 might surprise you.)
www.nfl.com www.nfl.com

Comp pct: 35.8. Expected comp pct: 30.4. Difference: +5.4 percentage points.
TD-to-INT ratio: 6:2. Passer rating: 100.8.
This is the outlier. Fitzpatrick led the Dolphins in rushing. He shouldn't be here, right? Well, Fitzpatrick got here by being the daring risk-taker he's long been, sending more of his deep passes into tight windows than not (56.6 percent of his 53 deep pass attempts were into tight windows). That type of loose play produced six touchdowns for the Dolphins, who rode Fitzpatrick's efforts and energy to a handful of respectable wins, enough to keep them from drafting in the top three. So much for Tanking for Tua, whom they still got at No. 5 overall. Ryan Fitzpatrick is on this list. Seriously. What a funny, strange game this is.
 
I love Fitz just because of the way he helped develop Parker and Gesicki. I do worry a bit that Parker was a 1 year wonder as it feels oddly similar to what Brett Favre did with Sidney Rice, but he had a good year on a crap team.
 
Yeah ... I guess we should "pump the brakes" ... I mean all the guy has done is hang in there for 14 seasons and played on 8 different teams ... and take a POS team from a skill set stand point that most people figured 0 wins to a 5 win season winning 5 of 9 to end the season ...

He deserves no credit with such a piss poor passer rating... screw him... (sarcasm of course)



Seriously though ... to each his own ... the dude has earned his stripes regardless of the disrespect he gets
 
Fitz has been pretty mediocre for most of his career. At least on average, as he's had streaks of brilliancy interlaced with streaks of putridness. Last year, however, under the circumstances, he was both stellar and consistent. I think he had another good season way back then, but those two are it for him. Real fun QB throughout his career, on the other hand. Can't deny that.
