I'm sure this man needs no introduction but Larry Fitzgerald is coming off his best season as a pro and he put together the most prolific post season in NFL history. The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in quite a favorable position with a receiver who has posted three seasons of at least 1,400 yards, three season of double digit touchdowns and two seasons of at least 100 catches and best of all he just celebrated his 26th birthday. Considering his age and the experience that he gained last January, Is it really possible that Fitz could be on the verge of a career year?? You tell me....

The rules of the game are pretty simple, post the stats that you think Fitzgerald will accumulate over the course of the season and then after the season ends we'll look back and see right or wrong we all were. Post your projection in the comment section using this format (preferably in the comment title):

Catches, Yards (YPC), Touchdowns

If you're feeling frogging you can add anything extra that you want such as games played or fumbles but don't worry, we'll cover the other receivers in a different thread.

80 Catches, 1300 Yards, 12 Touchdowns

His numbers go down slightly because of Beanie and THT, but still a good year.

87 catches, 1124 yards, 8 touchdowns

#’s drop off a bit because of our running game improving and Boldin having a big year

101 catches, 1,545 yards (15.3 ypc) and 15 TDs

I think Fitz’s totals go up across the board b/c KW finally figured out the best way to use him……covered or not, chunk it up there and Fitzy will bring it down.

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

+1

I expect the TDs to go up, because in the past he wasn´t the primary option, now I think he becomes the primary option in goal to go situations.

I like to think I'm above believing in superstitions

But the Madden Curse consumes star players as well as the Oakland Raiders..like clockwork every year. If he were to go down though I’ve still got all the confidence in the world in my boy Q.

I didnt read very well, heres my prediction:

88 catches, 1544 yards, 8 TD’s (assuming the Madden Curse doesn’t take over)

by Fitz Jizzle on Sep 8, 2009 5:37 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

75 Recs, 1125 Yards, 12 TD's

No Madden curse here, but I think opponents are looking to bottle up Fitz first and Boldin (with more recs, yards & TD’s) will be the main beneficiary.

Larry Fitzgerald once dropped a pass, just to see what it felt like.

Larry will not have any catches, he will simply materialize in the end zone with the ball.

You will have to measure the distance of his carries in kilometers.

His TD’S will equal the amount of times he will appear in the endzone.

103 receptions, 1568(15.2 ypc), and 14 TD's

Teams focus completely on stopping him but it doesn’t matter his numbers go up anyway. He becomes even more dominant and shows that he is the best wide out in the league.
