Top 10 NFL QB options with Tony Romo out of the picture

Deshaun Watson is one of the best quarterback options available now that Tony Romo has decided to retire

6. Ryan Fitzpatrick

Ryan Fitzpatrick

After his gaudy 31-touchdown campaign in 2015 with the New York Jets, Fitzpatrick reminded everyone why he’s been a career journeyman with an awful season. He ended up getting benched more than once, only to have to start due to injuries to Geno Smith and Bryce Petty.

In 2016, Fitzpatrick lost his magic in a huge way, completing just 56.6 percent of his passes while throwing 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions (including more than a few nasty ones) in 14 games.

Essentially, the Harvard grad regressed back to the mean. Over the course of his 12-year career, Fitzpatrick is a 59.7 percent passer who has thrown 166 touchdowns and 133 interceptions, earning a career record of 46-69-1.

The one bright spot a quarterback needy team can potentially point to when considering Fitzpatrick is his 2015 season when he went 10-6 with the Jets and helped that offense thrive. Perhaps Fitzmagic strikes twice. You never know.
