Ryan Fitzpatrick is terrible. We knew he wasn’t good, ever, but he’d had a few years where he played okay football, or at least managed to get okay results. Based on that, I thought he’d be a decent backup quarterback. But his performance agains the Cincinnati Bengals was shockingly terrible—and not just in the stats.
Those statistics were bad enough: Fitzpatrick completed 6 of 13 passes for 45 yards, a sack and an interception. But his play was worse: his passes came out slow, late, and inaccurately. The one redeeming factor was the ability to run a little, but that’s not something you want to build an offense around.
