Jlowe22 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 You cannot stop the Fitzmagic, you can only hope to survive it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Fitzmagiks. I said before the season, half-jokingly, that if Fitzpatrick plays lights out against the Saints, Eagles, and Steelers then Winston might not get his job back. It was a tall order, but it's actually happening. One more game to go of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Specifically the first two weeks? I think it's Fitzpatrick. I'd like to hear reasoning for the people selecting Mahomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear reasoning for the people selecting Mahomes. Well, ppl are biased by the knowledge that Fitzmagic will eventually turn back into Fitzmagic, pumpkin version. I get the Q is who's been better, but perception does affect opinion...as the Carr-vs-Keenum discussion showed (and let's not do that again lol). But, even having said that - Mahomes has made throws that Fitzmagic hasn't. Don't get me wrong, Fitz deserves his accolades for his 2 games, but for instance, D-Jax's TD and Howard's TD were all on the busted coverage (D-Jax) and Howard going beast mode for the last 50 yards and juking 3 guys. Fitz has earned all the praise. But I actually think Mahomes has made tougher plays (although still can't figure out LAC throwing up that dud on D last week, even without Bosa - such underperformers at key times). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I didn't watch the Bucs games lol (did watch KC), so I'm just doing the box score scouting. Didn't realize that two of those long passes were busted coverage. I was just thinking that Fitz had played better teams and defenses, had some huge plays as well, while Mahomes had two gimme touchdown passes on the jet sweeps, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans was probably the only one where it was a plus through (Howard's was a plus throw, but only for 15 yards downfield). So there's context here for sure. Mahomes' 2 TD's for LAC that were jet sweeps do factor in, but when I see the actual throws, Mahomes is making all the plus throws all the time.

KellChippy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Fitz picked apart our defense yesterday as well as anyone in the past few seasons even disregarding the numbers. Really stretched the field and attacked our weaknesses. Honestly, I’m pretty confident they could have scored more if our offense happened to show up in the first half. Plus Fitz magic is more fun.

Jeezla Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 My vote goes to Fitz. He was throwing passes where only his guy could get it multiple times, hitting people perfectly in stride, and read our defense like it was a bernstein bears book.

AlNFL19 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Mahomes has been a little more efficient I think scoring-wise, so I went with him. He's been around 1.94x the average by my estimate, vs. Fitzpatrick's 1.76x. He's got a huge edge in TD% (18.2% to 13.1%) and obviously a small edge interception-wise.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Staying woke on this: Mahome's stats are inflated by those 2 glorified hand-offs that counted as TD passes in week 1. Really should be looking at 8 TD passes, which statistically would give the edge to Fitzmagic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz's INT was in OJ Howard's hands and popped into the air after he got hit. Not Fitzmagic's fault at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
