Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick looks comfortable in the offense, and he says it's a quarterback's dream playing in this scheme. When it was announced that Jameis Winston would be suspended for the first three games of the season, most believed the Bucs would be starting 0-3 but all Fitzpatrick has done in the first two games has thrown for 819 yards, eight touchdowns, and one interception.
Fitzpatrick seems to have a great connection with his wide receivers, especially on the deep ball and it has led the Falcons to a 2-0 record.
“It's a quarterback's dream to be in the huddle with those guys,” Fitzpatrick said via The Tampa Bay Times. “I'm getting to do it with the guys up front. I'm getting time to survey the field and pick and choose. It was another day. We had our struggles. It wasn't perfect. There was a little bit more of a grind than last week. We had our lull for a little bit. But the guys stayed on it and made plays when they had to.”
Fitzpatrick still has one more guaranteed start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, and there are questions about what the Bucs will do with the quarterback position, especially if Fitzpatrick has a big game. Winston is the franchise quarterback, but there can be a case made that Fitzpatrick gives the team the best chance to win games right now.
The Bucs seem to have a good problem on their hands but no matter who they decide to go with they are going to have an excellent backup on their hands.
