Well, you just have too much faith in your love of football. This is a business, and as someone who paid for PSLs and tickets every year if i want to clamor for Petty to come in early, and if the rest of the people who buy tickets, merch, etc want to see him when the team potentially sucks after 10 weeks, as paying customers we should get to see him. I dont want to see Geno or Fitz if the season is a lost cause/ or late in games if were getting blown out or blowing another team out.
That's absolute BS! You can clamor all you want, but the CS is under no obligations to give stupid fans what they want, especially to the detriment of the team and players. Any CS who would cave to the demands of stupid fans should be fired. Nobody gives a shit what you want, especially when it could wind up hurting the team. True fans know and want what's best for the team, and subjugate their own selfish desires. I have to question whether any fan who puts his own selfish interests above the team is really a fan of the team.
No it isn't. Even if it were, you do realize that your impatience and short term desires could wind up biting the team in the ass long term, don't you? Do you not realize that Sanchez was ruined by forcing him to play too early, and perhaps Geno was as well. Is it really worth it to take that chance with Petty just so you and a few others can see him play? It's much better to wait until he's ready to play at a high level and can be relaxed and confident. Then he would be worth seeing.
lmao he's played one pre-season game.. against all back ups.. He's raw and has to learn.. But it's wayyyy too soon.. at least let him get a full pre-season under his belt.. how about a full camp with the 2's at least lol. He's being groomed to step in ready to go, whether it's one year or two years from now. I don't look for production from at this point in his career i'm looking for growth and development. If you never watched anything more than highlights on Bryce Petty you need to know he's not about to shred defenses vertically. He's a dink and dunker. Quick reads short reads...a lot of quick outside curl routes and 5 yard slants, but he actually makes his reads he doesn't throw it to one guy or stare down one guy. He stands up strong in the pocket, keeps his eyes down the field. His passes have nice zip, not the strongest arm but i think overtime he'll get it there. He's not really a risk taker, more of a take what the defense gives kind of game manager. Can't really think of who he reminds me of though.
First of all Sanchez has no talent and was a bad pick. No one has a crystal ball. I liked the pick at the time, and agreed with the way the Jets brought him along for two years. Didnt expect much if anything of him, hand the ball off to TJ & SG & LT, and manage the game. It was only until year 3 when we saw that he didn't have it as a QB. I don't fault the Jets on his development. He just didn't have it. Lots of teams draft QBs in the first round that don't pan out, they're a crapshoot, toughest postition to judge talent. As for Geno smith this guy was an absolute bum from day one. A terrible pick, and the reason for me joining this board as a Jet fan to only clamour against him, and the idiots on here that said give him a chance. I personally watched him play the best game of his life in Austin against the University of Texas his senior year. After that he was terrrible. I watched him in Yankee Stadium against Syracuse, and watched Ryan Nassib outplay him. I wondered on draft day how the Giants got a better QB in round 4, than we got in round 2. Geno Smith is a childish, moronic, thug. He scouting report said it all. Geno Smith should have never been drafted, and if we cut him right now, not one team would pick him up. So don't give me the Jets didnt bring him along correctly.
To be fair, I was at that Pinstripe Bowl and Ryan didn't exactly distinguish himself-- our running attack just killed them. But as pedestrian as Nassib was, Geno was worse. And I loved what Ryan did for my program, he was a very solid starter for us but I never viewed him as a starting NFL QB. Geno neither. _
If he is the guy he better show it soon. I don't think any franchise will wait two-three years to see if a fourth round pick QB is the answer. If the Jets draft a QB in round 1 in 2016 or trade for a veteran he may never see the field as NYJ starter.
Bryce Petty is the answer......If the question is who benefits from extra reps when the starting QB gets his jaw broken by a practice squad player ?
Remember that the Giants threw away a playoff spot to get Eli playing time his rookie season. They were going to the playoffs that year if they stayed with Kurt Warner but instead they gave the franchise some games and he stunk up the joint and they missed the playoffs in a year when not one but two 8-8 teams made the playoffs in the conference. That's what a #1 overall pick makes teams do. Petty is unlikely to get anything positive out of late season playing time. He's a 4th round pick and his performance will be used against him in 2016 forward if it's bad. He'll be seen as not the answer because he played poorly in 2015 in late games that meant very little. He won't get to the head of the line for 2015 he'll get replaced by a better option instead. Petty's best chance to actually get the Jets job is to look a bit promising in practice time and OTA's and to get thrown into the fire in a couple of years when the Jets really need him to do well and then to do well.
I completely and totally disagree. He's played two preseason games and shown PLENTY of potential. They weren't counting on him for anything this year, so everything he has shown has been a bonus. He has all the tools to succeed. Mac didn't trade up to get this kid (even it was just one spot), just to cut him next year without never giving him a chance to compete. Even if the Jets draft a QB in the 2016 draft in round 1 or 2, I think Petty would still be given a chance to compete for the job, especially with the way he's progressing and with the talent he has.
So then what you are really saying is smith should never see the field again because his two years have come and gone and all he has to show for it is being one of the 5 worse qbs in the NFL, right? It is really hard not to give Petty or anybody a shot after what we have seen from smith.
Let's look at it through the lens of comparison with Geno: they were both spread college QB's who operated exclusively from the shotgun and needed time to develop. In Geno's second career preseason game, he played against the Giants backups and looked completely lost. He went 16-30 for 199 yards and threw 3 interceptions, and additionally ran out of the back of the end zone. Compared to that, Bryce was astronomically better last night even if he was "playing against scrubs". He sure as hell played better against scrubs than Geno did. He looked nowhere near as lost as Geno did right off the bat, which is a good sign for his spread to pro transition. Throw in the fact that he's going to have a buffer year that Geno didn't have and he could be way ahead of where Geno was his rookie season by the time he plays.
