I have to confess, I was expecting something completely different when I sat down to do the analysis for this article. In a few weeks, Ryan Fitzpatrick will open the season for the WFT, the ninth NFL franchise he has played for in 16 seasons. FitzMagic comes to DC with a reputation as a gunslinger, but one whose game has matured as he approaches 40.
Even so, the general impression of Fitzpatrick around the NFL is that he is still a wildly uneven QB, capable of winning games and losing them from one week to the next. I was inspired to write this piece by a comment from Mike Tanier of Football Outsiders in an interview with Eboracum on Hogs Haven a few weeks ago.
