Fitzpatrick traded to JETS

Some of you guys are excited about Ryan Fitpatrick lmao!!!!!!

He is so limited as a QB...........he's a smart QB but has a gun slinger mentality with a pop gun arm and no accuracy. I'd love Fitz back in Buffalo as a backup and start 2-4 games max..........but if comes in and beats out Geno prepare for a 6-10 season at best.

 

Smith is pretty much garbage. Anyone would be an improvement, and so I am happy they got Fitz. He's not as good as some of the trade possibilities like Bradford, Cutler or Foles. But as time went on it was increasingly apparent none of those trade possibilities were going to work out. FA was also not going to be productive. Best way to look at it is that Fitz is making the most of the available, reasonable options.

And ftr I think Cutler stays in Chicago.

 

You probably did not notice he played better for Houston than he did for your team. Probably because they have better fans in Houston.

 

have fun with matt cassel and ej manuel

 

we were 4-12 last year with the coach you just hired.

so 6-10 with Fitzpatrick & Bowles would be an upgrade

 

His role is most likely going to change. I think he actually has the mental capacity to understand that. And this may be the best team he's been on.
If Geno starts it would mean he actually improved. We'll see about that. Right now until things change those are our options. ANYTHING is better than what seen the last few years and is enough to get excited about.

 

Freakin' slacker. Dude's probably on the toilet from the 6 gallons of coffee he's drank over the last 72 hours...

 

regarding the Geno comments, this is his make or break year. I never bash or judge QB's too harshly on their first two seasons in the league. That said Geno has looked pretty bad his first two seasons. If there is a glimmer of hope it's this, the Jets during his two starting years weren't adding players of any note, his offensive line was crap, the receiving corp was pretty much crap and the headcoach didn't understand offense and the GM seemed to be doing everything he could do to lose games for the team.

So it's too early to totally close the door on Geno, But that door is pretty close to being closed and pretty close to being closed and locked. Will he become a decent QB? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet an hours pay on it unless i got really really good odds.

 

Sounds better than:

11-18 as a starter, 25 TDs v 34 INTs. His 3 TDs in one game is an aberration when you consider he threw 3 INTS on THREE PASSES in another. And he got benched for a dog killer.

Don't understand how anybody could dislike this move. I can understand people not jumping up and joy because it is Ryan Fitzpatrick we're talking about, but he's a solid, smart, borderline NFL starter who we have on a cheap 1 year deal. If Geno beats him out for the starting position, great, we have a young QB whose demonstrated he's a starting caliber QB. If not, Fitzpatrick will be good enough to not lose us games. Might not be sexy, but "game managing" QBs have gotten paid a lot more than $3.5 million

 

you'd be excited too if geno smith was the alternative.

 

I was very underwhelmed by this, but his stats tell a different story. For the cost of a conditional 7th round pick, this was a very good move. Never been much of a fan, but I think he's a very good stopgap or backup. I am now holding out hope that Mariota is in the cards.

 

Ouch.

I'm not sure people are expecting him to turn into Peyton Manning but he's not the worst QB the Jets could have gotten. He's a guy who knows the system, can help mentor Geno who also seems like a good fit in Gailey's system) will have some pretty good weapons. It's not an oh shit we're going to the Super Bowl move (not that one could have been made) but it's an ok this team is serious about improving move.

 

Wow, really surprised about some of the negative comments. At least this guy improves the level of play at the position and has familiarity with our OC. Geno has been the worst qb in the league for 2 years, if he improves this offseason and beats out Fitzpatrick..great..if geno still sucks, at least we got a guy who brings an average level of play to the position...plus, what pro bowler was out there this year??

 

It's critical that the Jets do their homework on Winston and Mariotta right now. Neither may even be available to the Jets, but if one of them were, the impact on this team's future is so tremendous that the decision should be academic on how to handle it.

 

Mariota is unlikely to make it to #6
ESPN's John Clayton essentially guaranteed that the Redskins would take Oregon QB Marcus Mariota if he's available at the No. 5 overall pick.
Clayton said there's no way Mariota would last until the Jets' No. 6 overall pick. "(Redskins owner) Dan Snyder might not think there’s quarterback issues, (but) Jay Gruden and everyone else in the front office thinks there’s quarterback issues," Clayton said. It's not a surprise the Redskins' revised front office is already questioning Robert Griffin III's future in Washington, but this will be a moot point if Mariota is a top-four pick, as expected.

 

So Snyder's going to be okay with the Front Office overruling him? When has he ever conceded in his life
