Uberjamb 0 Posted November 18, 2012 So, I was looking at Larry Fitzgerald's 11 yard game today and I was thinking... Why is it that, if Fitzgerald is this God of WRs as many people say, he simply cannot perform with a bad quarterback? Whereas someone like Brandon Marshall seems to put up numbers no matter who is throwing. Is Marshall just a lot better than Fitzgerald? Or is the QB play in AZ historically bad. Discuss...

tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 18, 2012 It's the targets an ineptitude. Look at dalton and green, he throws it up to him every game regardless of coverage or play. He simply throws it to him and prays. That's what an elite Wrs job is, to make plays regardless of coverage. In az, they just don't throw to a covered fitz most of the time even tho he could make plays on those balls. With all that said, I wouldn't be opposed to maybe saying its almost time to start calling Fitz a tad overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e-factor 13 Posted November 19, 2012 Switched over to this game for awhile and Fitz put a sick move on the DB and was wide open for a TD. DB was 5 yards away. Skeltons throw wasn't even close to Fitz. Horrible QB play is brutal. Since Arizona hangs in with their defense a lot of games, they don't take a lot of chances. Too bad he is wasting prime years playing with such inept QBs............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Noob 10 Posted November 20, 2012 Arizona's QB situation is just that bad and they could have the worst O-line in the league. There just isn't much time to get a pass off. You are seeing a similar effect in Philadelphia with their banged up O-line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buttmonkey 8 Posted November 20, 2012 Was Marshall putting up in good numbers in Miami? The whole premise of your argument is wrong. Nice try trolling though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't say he put up great numbers, but Their good enough to not call someone a dumbfock for arguing the other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schaubmynob 0 Posted November 20, 2012 In my opinion, Fitz is just as talented as Marshall, but hasn't ever had the opportunities. Do you really think that LSH would perform as well as he looked this week if the entire defense's main concern wasn't on Fitz? Marshall didn't even have it as bad Fitz does now when he was in Miami. I think Fitz could've been in the conversation for greatest receivers of all time, if he was in the right opportunity. The guy's talent is elite, and he has a head on his shoulders. Considering all factors, I would take Fitz any day, but there are many other factors that come into play when considering numbers. This is just the honest opinion of a long time football fan and observer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 20, 2012 Fitz with Cutler would be as good/better than Marshall with Cutler. Fitz would drop the ball less and have at least 2 more TD's than Marshall right now. They're both great receivers. Marshall can be dominant but his hands aren't as good as Fitz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uberjamb 0 Posted November 20, 2012 I was really down on Fitz, but you guys make some good points. Someone needs to get him out of AZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
