On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being ecstatic and 1 showing no confidence. How confident are you about Ryan Fitzpatrick as your starting QB for the season?
Fitz isn't worse than Smith and he is a lot better than Haskins ... at least for now. I think the offense will be better with him at QB ... I think he'll have a couple of stinker games too but most QBs do.
I gave him a six. Not a franchise qb, prone to bouts of bad qb play, perhaps slightly above average.
A stop gap.
On the same scale however, Alex Smith is a 1, Haskins is a 2 ( he has two working legs) Allen is a 4, and Heinecke based on what he has already shown and his unknown “potential” is a seven.
