It was a great to get a win, particularly in O'Brien's debut. But we beat a dysfunctional team that was barely better than us last year.
Fitzpatrick is like the Scott Feldman of NFL quarterbacks. He's a .500 pitcher that is largely a game manager not a game winner. But we knew that. He's good enough to beat the teams in the NFC East and the AFC South (excluding Indianapolis) and a couple others but he'll be overmatched when we play good teams.
For right now, that's okay. When the surrounding cast gets better, we're going to want a better QB. Mallett? Savage? Not sure about either one but Fitz will at least keep 2014 manageable.
