The team is nuts or trying to just save a few bucks, cutting both QBs?

    The Cardale Jones sweepstakes is like the numbers racket, even when you win the odds are you've lost.

    Says 3 games in his college career after 3 years at Ohio State.

    Footnote: his Wiki has been edited to say that he was rushed to the hospital with severe head pains on Sept 2, 2015. This could be just a prank.

    and 9 years in the league, but, yes. He's been a career backup who rarely plays, whereas Fitzpatrick has been a career backup who frequently plays and is usually under .500. Neither are great. Hopefully Petty grows this year and is ready to start in 2016, making the whole discussion moot.

    I think they want to win. They have been spending money. How much could J Johnson cost them?

    Flynn's contract was not going to be guaranteed because he took the injury settlement from the pats. He could be back tomorrow when ridley goes on pup

    Pretty sure releasing the QBS is all about salary.

    I want Ryan back IMHO.

    Geno is coming back soon and looked great so far this pre-season. We have Fitz and Petty. Flynn looked good against bubble players but has never shown anything more. Johnson has horrible accuracy issues.

    I think they made a good decision cutting Flynn.

    I'd rather cut Geno than Flynn.

    Which is why we'll probably draft Hackenberg (who looks like he couldn't start on a mildly competent Pop Warner team).

    " I still am hoping Smith never sees the field in a Jets uniform, regardless what happens."

    The shit that gets posted on this board sometimes is mind boggling.

    As Shitty as Geno has been he has still shown more upside in two seasons than either Fitz or Flynn (ha ha).
    I just don't get that people cannot realize that the Rex coaching staff his entire tenure here was pile of shit, that basically couldn't coach up a QB or WR if their lives depended on it, and probably had more negative influence.
    You can't give up on Geno until he actually gets a chance to play for NFL caliber offensive coaches.
