A number of things I don’t like about this:
1. Fitz is too valuable as Tua’s mentor. Just because Tua completed 2 passes doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be tough days ahead. Fitz, unlike selfish pricks like Brady and Favre late in there careers, seems to really embrace his role as a mentor, role model and friend. You don’t trade that away on your rookie QB.
2. Fitz may yet play again this year. What if Tua struggles? Gets hurt? Has to come out of a game for a series for concussion protocol or needs his jock adjusted? You trust Jake Ruddock to go in there?
3. See 1 and 2.
4. Believe it or not, Dalton > Fitz and Dallas would never make that trade anyway. Yeah, I know it’s fun to make fun of Andy Dalton but his arm is still attached to its socket and he’ll be “fine”. Which means Dallas can still win that woeful division with him.
5. Fitz is in the perfect spot right now, right here. These is literally no other spot in the NFL right now where he’d make sense to suit up. It is what it is - let him fulfill his utility that he signed up for. Great for the culture, great for Tua, great to have off of the bench and great for beard lovers everywhere.
