A lot of excitement about David Lee working with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Where do you think Fitzpatrick's passer rating will rank him among NFL QBs in 2012?

2011 - Smart posters warned everyone else, Fitzpatrick was a waste of a year. Now we all know.
2012 - Smart posters warned everyone else another season of Gailey was a waste of a year. Now we all know
2013 - Smart posters are warning everyone else another year of brandon/nix is a waste of a year. Next year we will all know.
Top three!
I think Fitz can finish somewhere in the Top 10, regardless of whether or not Lee has an effect on him.
I wrote it before in a thread months ago but I'll write it again...
How Fitz can become a Top 10 Quarterback in 2012:
1. Improvement from the defense
2. Improvement from the wide receiver unit
3. Deep Ball that will result in spreading out the opposing defense's back 7
4. Coaching / Playcalling as a result of improved Offensive Line play
5. Better pocket presence - better decisions in the heat of the moment
1 - Not related to Lee
2 - Not related to Lee
3 - Lee can help with this
4 - Not related to Lee
5 - Not sure this has to do with mechanics
So Lee could help Fitz throw a better deep ball and be slightly more accurate on other throws.
But the vast majority of factors leading to Fitz's potential improvement in 2012 has absolutely nothing to do with Lee.
Top 10, but these receivers are going to have to work their tails off for him. Im not crazy about the goonsquad beyond Johnson and Nelson. I think there is some real potential in Easley and Graham and Aiken, but beyond that Im not confident that they can be anything more than potential.
Top 10 For me would be...
A. Rodgers
T. Brady
D. Brees
M. Stafford
T. Romo
M. Vick
P. Manning
M. Ryan
E. Manning
J. Cutler
So I would put Fitz in 11-20.
Its good to see a focus on his mechanics. Correct consistancy is the key for any skill to be mastered.

I think Fitz finishes 2012 on the bench. No joke. He'll struggle, and VY will replace him.
No more meaningful Football in 2012.
Should have had more options. I'm guessing between 11-15. Top half of the league, but not elite.
So 11-20, I guess.
Fitz will always be average and inconsistent. There is no fixing him
Before I opened this topic and voted, the number 12 popped in my head.
Seems reasonable, as I believe he is an above average QB and will only improve with Lees tweaking of his mechanics.
Yikes - y'all know how I hate anything to do with the over-rated Penn State and their over-rated brethren of the Big 10 but I have to agree with this Ninny Lion.
The first number that popped into my head was 12 - he is an above average QB. With solid mechanics and a little help from the receiving group I think he can reach top 10.

2013 Draft
1st) Keenan Allen WR - Cal
2nd) EJ Manuel QB - FSU
3rd) Chase Thomas OLB - Stanford
4th) Darius Slay CB - Miss St
5th) Matt Scott QB - Arizona
6th) Jake Stoneburner TE - Ohio St
With the draft just a day away I like what I put up but I'm switching Allen to the 2nd and moving Manuel to the 1st
11-15 is realistic. I went with the "everything goes according to plan" scenario. 5-10.
Don't ya think 11-20 is just a TAD bit too wide of a spread to include a Poll?
I would love to see how many that voted for that bracket actually meant something way closer to #20 than they did to #11. (I know I did!)
Rodgers
Brady
Manning
Brees
Manning
Stafford
Roethlisberger
Rivers
Schaub
Romo
Newton
Bradford
Cutler
Vick
Freeman
Ryan
Dalton
Smith
Flynn
I voted 21+, but he has a chance of (barely) sneaking into the top 20.
