While the journeyman tag is true, New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick can most certainly make the Pro Bowl in 2016.
If somebody lined up all four New York Jets quarterbacks and asked them to make every throw on the field, there’d be one guy who didn’t quite match-up with the rest.It’s not rookie Christian Hackenberg, the man with the golden arm. It’s not Bryce Petty, who can sling it with the best of them. It’s not even Geno Smith, whose arm is as solid as an arm can come.
The man who’d lag behind the other three in terms of raw throwing talent would be Ryan Fitzpatrick.
It’s not even close, either.
When watching these four partake in QB drills in Florham Park, NJ, Fitz is always the one who displays the weakest arm. His balls flutter, quack and straight up die in the air. Despite his unfortunate arm strength, he’s the bonafide offensive leader at age 33 and is coming off a career year.
The question for today, is, “Why couldn’t Fitz be Pro Bowl bound in 2016?”
We’ll use this ESNY page to navigate through the reasons for why Fitz can easily find himself Pro Bowl bound this upcoming season:
