I don't expect this to be the last move we make. But I understand why Ron went this route.

One word. Improvement.

Some WFT Twitter folks are mad, what else did they want them to do?? Sign Trubisky? F that. Fitz was the best FA available at QB period

I see WFT Twitter daily and a lot of them are stupid and are going to be pissy regardless. This was the best possible outcome. If you give up picks for Darnold or pay Trubisky a big FA salary, they are going to be the guy (and they’re probably going to suck).

With Fitz, he’s clearly not a long term solution. Team guy. Crazy smart. 9 teams. Seen it all. Will be able to adjust to a new team with a limited offseason without issue. Gives us the option to still draft a rookie high. If he stinks, Heinicke will get a shot and with Darnold or Trubisky, they probably would be left in regardless of what they did.

I love this. Let’s go squad! Now let’s go get Curtis Samuel and complete the annex of Washington South.

Fitz is an established vet who knows how to play QB in the NFL. He's the perfect Rivera QB.

I don't like this move. JMO what QB's has he mentored that have gone on to be good and win consistently.

He's not there to mentor QBs, he's there to win games. He's an improvement from what WFT had at QB last year.

That's my feeling towards it too

I'm surprised Miami let him walk. He was clearly better than Tua at this point. I'd much rather go this route over giving away tons of draft picks to get Watson. I would like to see Fitz and Taylor compete for the job. With those two we have guys that are the opposite of Smith. We are going to actually start throwing balls over 5 yards. I like the move.

It will be interesting to see if they draft anyone or just pass on QB and all together.

It ain't his job to be a mentor. These are grown ass men.

Fitzpatrick is a grown ass man, you think these 21 year old college qb's who have never had a working job in their life and are introduced to wealth and fame in the span of 6 months don't need mentoring? LMAO.

C'mon.. This whole mentoring stuff is a bunch of bullshit. Fitz wants to play. Not change diapers. I remember Brett Favre saying it wasn't his job to mentor anyone and that always stuck w/ me. 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.

Even grown ass men can benefit from good mentoring. Not saying you bring someone in just for that reason, but as an extra effect definitely a plus.

I will say its better Mitch, but still I am a bit disappointed. Not so much its Fitz but the fact we really didn't check off that franchise QB box still. Been spinning wheels on that one for awhile now.
