Is Ryan Fitzpatrick the Smartest QB in the NFL?

He's Harvard-educated.
He scored a 48 on the Wonderlic Test in just nine minutes. The only person to score higher was also a Harvard graduate, former Cincinnati Bengal Pat McInally.
Meet Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Is he the smartest quarterback in the NFL?
If he beats the Jets again tonight, he might just be considered a guy with a real future in the NFL.
A seventh-round draft pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, Fitzpatrick was the 250th player chosen overall.
Last year Ryan Fitzpatrick played for the injured Carson Palmer and finished third in rushing among all quarterbacks. He is one of just five players in NFL history to throw for 300 yards in their first start. The other four are Otto Graham, Ed Rubbert, Mark Rypien, and Peyton Manning.
Fitzpatrick signed with the Buffalo Bills on Feb. 27 and made his first contribution ironically against the New York Jets when starter Trent Edwards was knocked out of the game. He led the Bills to a 16-13 OT victory in the Meadowlands.
Now playing in Canada for a new coach with nothing on the line but pride, can Ryan Fitzpatrick duplicate his first effort against the Jets and move the Bills into a third-place tie at 5-7?
For the Jets, this is simply a must-win game to remain playoff relevant. At 6-6 the Jets would be just two games behind the Patriots with five to play.
If the Dolphins can give the Jets some help, the New England Patriots could find themselves at 7-5 and probably out of playoff contention if they don't win the very competitive AFC East.
With a 54 percent completion percentage, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions, Ryan Fitzpatrick could be a legitimate starter in the NFL.
But it was Jets turnovers that led to the first Bills win. Given the fact the Jets have the No. 2 defense in the NFL, I look for the Jets to hold off the Bills and get themselves back to .500 at 6-6.
