Ryan Fitzpatrick embodies what the Bills organization stands for, what Western New York stands for, and what the Bills Mafia stands for.  How many other qbs starting for another NFL team have shown up shirtless outdoors to cheer on  another team?  He is a journeyman who could have been in Tampa Bay cheering on the bus as one of his former teams but he has an affinity for the area and if we are being honest, was the most reliable quarterbacks Buffalo had between Kelly and Allen.

Ryan fitzpatrick deserves the recognition and formality of retiring  and remaining a bill for life for his contributions and commitment to the area and organization.
