He’s a family friend after buying my fathers house when he was in Houston. Great guy, just as cool as you’d think he is. His kids are geniuses. [Reply]
One day, they will make a great documentary on this guy and his journey through the NFL. Currently with his 8th team (IIRC) and stats wise, he's in the top 30-33 in most categories. More TDs than guys like Simms, Bradshaw, etc... more yards than Romo, Simms, Aikman, McNair, Cunningham.

Fitz has had quite the ride.
Would love for him to somehow win it all someday. [Reply]
Ryan Fitzpatrick is the type of QB that Marty would draft and KC would focus upon his admittedly impressive hilights while ignoring the downside. But it really didn’t matter because You knew that Marty was going to run the ball about 60-70% of the time and hope for his defenses to win the game for him.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Marty. He brought a moribund franchise back from the dead. He had defenses that would have shut down the Greatest Show on Turf. But we had several journey-men, re-tread QBs under him: DeBerg, Krieg, Bono, Grbac, etc. I wish we had accomplished more with Marty but a quick review of our QBs under Marty shows why we never went to the Super Bowl under him.
So while I can appreciate Mr. Fitzpatrick, and I can laugh at his humor (this photo; the ‘DeSean Watson wardrobe’ interview), knowing we have the best QB in NFL history calms the PTSD I get when looking at a QB like Fitzpatrick and remembering the numerous QBs like him that played for KC. [Reply]
