there are lots of guys who can throw it a long way. His accuracy has always been an issue, and it's not better. Will someone give him a shot? Sure, hell each team starts off w 90 guys. There is less than a 1% he makes a roster.

Fitz probably kicks himself daily for not trying to follow Mullen.

Do you know how sick to my stomach I would have been to see Fitz in blue and orange running it down our throats and hitting those Florida WRs?!!

You don't have to sell me on Fitz's shortcomings I am well aware already. Mock draft boards generally aren't off by hundreds of spots. Fitz is comfortably in the draft as of right now. That it no way is me touting his awesomeness. I think he's been very poor this year. Especially with his reads. He still has an NFL arm at the end of the day and no Homedawg not a lot of dudes have Fitz's size, arm and athleticism.

Chad Kelly ring a bell? Cardale Jones? Brett Hundley? Aaron Murray? Matt Barkley? Jake Coker?
The projections on these guys were all off by 100+ spots at this point compared to where they were actually drafted. And those are just guys who were projected near the top of the draft at some point. That doesn't include guys who were projected 3rd-4th round and then weren't drafted.

Only player I can think of fitting that description is Jevan Snead. I'm sure there are others so feel free to name them so we can take a trip down memory lane.

Funny to see a double post from you, after acknowledging your resistance to the multi-reply feature...See you and Moorhead have something in common - both of you are stubborn in your ways.

Ah yes, forgot Jevan Snead. I knew there was somebody I was forgetting, one of the all-timers, and that was definitely it.

Didn't say anything about his athleticism, I said he can't hit a trash can standing still at 15 yards. That's how you becom a nfl qb.

Almost all those guys spent decent time in the NFL and some are still on rosters.

That’s irrelevant to the OP’s point, they were vastly overrated in the draft projections

Ok and I said "mock draft boards generally aren't off by hundreds of spots". I didn't say it never happens.
