Quote:You know that in the little bit that he played? I don't see how you could logically come to this conclusion.

Mallett even in the Cincinnati game looked very comfortable in commanding the huddle, looking like a natural field general when using verbiage and setting up his protections. And that was while playing injured. There were noticeable moments in games where Offensive linemen and even tight ends weren't lining up where they were supposed to, and some of that was clearly due to miscommunication from Fitzpatrick to those linemen.


Fitzpatrick has played admirably as well and had picked up the offense relatively quickly, but it's still obvious that Mallett is more knowledgable of the offense overall. Whether that means he will become a franchise QB remains to be seen.
