Fitzpatrick in Trouble?

Call pre-season jitters, call it being rusty, but something didn't look right with Fitzpatrick in his first pre-season game. Maybe I'm jumping the gun here and just getting to excited for the season to start, but Ryan Fitpatrick just didn't seem to be on the same page as the rest of the offense during the Vikings game.

Sure he's just the third string QB, but eventually you'd hope that your third stringer was being groomed for the future to at least move up to back up. And right now, I'd be afraid to have him as back up if I were to base anything on his performance against the Vikings.

Had it not been for his horrendous throw that gave the Vikings a interception for an 82 yard touchdown return the Rams defense would have held the Vikings to just 3 points for the entire game.

It was good though to see that Linehan wasn't going to give up on him and remove him directly after that crucial INT. He put him right back out on the next drive. This is a good thing. But good thing or not, Fitz just couldn't get the job done. He just didn't seem polished enough under Linehan yet.

Could his third position as QB be threatened by the youngster Berlin? Despite a few rough patches his first couple of touches, Berlin seemed to take to the field like fish to water.

It'll be interesting to see how this develops over the next few weeks.
