Shannon Sharpe: Ryan Fitzpatrick can't play under pressure

[Big B]

Well what freaking hall of fame QB have you ever seen relying on a rookie with hardly any catches yet this season on a play like that, with the time on the clock left for at least two-three more throws????????????????????????????

How the hell am I supposed to know? I'm sure a rookie has caught a game winning TD before.

I don't know what else to say. Once the ball leaves his hand, he doesn't have any control over it. He doesn't control what route TJ decides to run.

Youve got to be kidding. He controls where that ball is heading. He chose to pass that ball to an unproven guy, with his two best playmakers wide open.

How did he win the NE game? Put the ball in the hands of the best playmaker. Had the same shot against the same team.

And again, one time would be unlucky. Reepeatedly disappointing in game winning situations over several seasons shows the true Fitz.

Side note - why is chan calling a rookie WR with very little production as the main read to decide a game? Horrible HC.

anybody with half a brain knows fitz cant handle pressure..ud think a harvard grad could hahaha..this team as a whole just sucks..i dont care how many close games we have or who we draft or who we sign as free agents..this team is guaranteed to lose as long as ralph wilson is owner..simple as that..for the love of god will sumone thats rich just buy this team already and force wilson out!!! can we impeach wilson as owner?! i would rather have the mexican cartel own this team and we win then ralph wilson. and yes im SERIOUS.

I agree,
Fitz did good but failed again. Winners win and backups find a way to give it away thats why they are backups. Fitz was a backup with the last staff and is proving them right.

Fitz is a choker, imho. That ball was hitting McCourty on the numbers, no matter if Graham ran the wrong route or not. Bad throw, end of story.
Fitz played a good game for the rest of it, in fairness, and imho, Gailey should take some of the blame for not running the football at least once more, before that pass, but the pass is still all on Fitz.

I agree and a couple running plays that drive would have been great. Why an empty backfield all the time I hate that. Some of it is on Gailey for sure but Fitz is choking way to much and we could use one more WR for sure.

funny thing on the int he could have had a beer in the pocket he had no pressure @ all and all day to go thru his progresions!

Give me a break. Fitzy outplayed Brady today twofold. Shouldn't have come down to the last drive. Wrong route by a receiver. Fitzy trying to make a play. It was a perfect storm.

***... no he didn't. Not even close. Go watch this thing called football then come back.

This game reminded me of the second jets game last year, fitz played great for the whole game except the last throw. It's a shame, he makes a better decision and then he's a hero
