Fitzpatrick's Cannon

[billsfreak]

YE OLE has been as big a proponent of Trent as anyone, but let me say this...

 

Fitzpatrick has a CANNON for an arm! Best arm strength we've had since Bledsoe... maybe even better! I'd like to see Young Ryan chuck it side by side next to Bledsoe and see whose ball travels further in the air! Even AVP knows... it's time to stretch the field!

I sure hope you are being sarcastic, otherwise you need help or a good pair of glasses. Did you watch him throw last year in Cincy? He can't throw into a wind more than 10-15 yards. He looks like one of the Wizard of Oz munchkins out there. If you are talking arm strength and arm strength alone, he isn't in the same ballpark as Losman was. Ask Lee Evans who had the biggest arm, almost all of his long TD's are with Losman throwing to him.

Ryan Fitz:

5.3 Yard per Attempt

57.7% Completion percentage

51.4 QB Rating

 

Cold off the bench via first action of the year, on the road in crappy weather/swirling winds?

 

Those were career numbers.

Jamarcus Russell has a cannon arm

Jay Cutler has a cannon arm

Brett Favre has a cannon arm

 

Fitz's arm resembles a World War II colt .45 more than a cannon. It has some initial "pop" to it, but you can't vouch for it's accuracy.

Then perhaps you would select "somewhere betwixt decent and cannon" as presented by our very own bizell

What in the heck language are you speaking?

why do you people think your a coach, a coordinator, a QB, or that you have ever been in the NFL. Your comparing arm strength to completion rates. Calling out AVP is an arbitrary arguement. There isn't a single coordinator that could look good behind the play-not-to-lose coaching strategy of Juron.

As far as Trent and Fitzy', we have watched Trent for 6 weeks and its obvious what he is currently capable of. Have any of you seen what Fitzy' can do for buffalo when he's had a week to practice with the first team offense. NO... At least give the guy a chance before calling him out.

And Fitzy' does have a strong arm. (that doesn't mean he is accurate all of the time, but he can chuck it)

I shall update the poll to reflect your write in vote! For posterity sake of course!

fantastic! I actually lol'd when I checked the first page of the thread and saw that option
