All sports. We don't even mind if its women's Curling or junior badminton. Although we won't have strong opinions on the latter.

We basically have three matchups in this league. Me vs. Seb for 1st, Reign vs. Tigg for 3rd and J-Mac vs. Jason for 5th.

My guy Christian Kirk balling for another team. The Headmeisters' developmental program paying dividends!

Aaron Jones becoming Rodgers' Terrell Davis has been a nice development for me.

It's really been he secondary guys who have been winning it for me. Aaron Jones, Derrick Henry, Cooper Kupp, Tyler Lockett. All picked in the middle rounds.

Saquon and Julio as my first two picks haven't panned out, but deep teams save you from busts.

In essence, Fitzpatrick is the worst QB a team can ask for. Not good enough to ever the guy for someone so he'll bounce around bad teams and get them in position where they're just not terrible enough to get the draft picks they need. Then, the one opportunity he ever got to actually take a team to the playoffs, in a do or die game, he throws three horrible interceptions, the Jets lose, miss the playoffs, and get a lousy draft pick.

He is absolutely no help to any team and you really can't ask for anything less constructive than what that guy gives you.

When Fitzy throws picks late in games it's almost always because they're down 42-28 and he has to take heavy risks at a shot at winning. Looking at stat sheets can be fun. Watching gameplay actually helps to evaluate talent a lot better.

The peeps on McAfee's show said Fitzy is an all-time great. I wouldn't go that far, at all. I'd call him perhaps the greatest journeyman QB of all time, possibly surpassing Vinny Testaverde.

"Almost always", can you verify that? Because I don't think that's true, so I'm interested in being proven wrong. In the game I mentioned, all three of his turnovers came in the fourth quarter within one score. That was the only "playoff" game of his career and he had a meltdown.

Not one person seriously called Fitzpatrick an all-time great. That was probably a moment where you missed the obvious joke.

Also, bad QBs tend to play from behind due to the deficits they help create through their bad play. It's such a bizarrely logical thing.

I guess Manning, Marino, Elway, Brees, Tarkenton, Favre, etc... are all terrible since they had to play from behind so many god damn times that they lead the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks. Very bizarre.

I like Fitzmagic quite a lot. He’s the greatest QB drafted outside the first 200 picks. But he’s not a top tier QB.

For the purposes of your argument, it would be great if you could include some facts and not speak in total generalities, which aren’t useful.
