Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick knows exactly who he is, and where he’s at in his NFL career, so we can stop with the constant reminders that he’s old, inconsistent and erratic.
No need to ask him about motivating factors, or about the fear of being benched for the younger, potentially more promising quarterback.
He’s been there and done that a couple of times throughout his career with Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett, Tom Savage, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty, Jameis Winston and Josh Rosen.
After 16 seasons, which have been spent with eight franchises, that’s been the story of his career.
