    That's pretty much how it's going to go down.

    I don't like that... This ain't Tom Brady we are talking about here.. This is a journeyman QB that has been mediocre his whole career. He shows flashes of being good but same old Fitz always comes around.

    We don't know what Geno can do with weapons and a competent OC. If you recall, he actually beat out Fitz last offseason and would have been our starter if he didn't get his jaw rocked.. I am not saying he would have duplicated what Fitz did for us last year, but there would have been improvement from his second year no doubt.

    That would be impossible to recall because it's not true.

    I don't think Geno vs. Fitz greatly impacts the amount of games this team will win. Entering the 2015 season, Geno's career winning percentage (.379) was actually higher than Fitz's (.375) despite all the losses he racked up in 2014. And Fitz sustained that percentage over a much bigger sample size, which is awful. Despite that, a great defense and 2 good receivers allowed the team to go 10-6. Why can't it help Geno in the same way?

    Geno completed a higher percentage of his passes (59.7%) in 2014 throwing to an injured Decker, Kerley and David Nelson than Fitz did in 2015 (59.6%) throwing to one of the league's best supporting casts. Their yards per attempt (6.9) were the same.

    The single greatest thing that caused the Jets to lose games in 2014 was red zone inefficiency (this is the case most years; the majority of NFL games are close, so the difference between TD's and FG's wins and loses games). That year, 7 of Geno's 10 losses were by 1 score or less. That doesn't happen if they aren't the worst red zone team in the NFL (36.17% touchdowns). Marty's red zone offense revolved around slow developing plays targeted to guys like Jeremy Kerley. What changed this year that allowed the Jets to convert the 3rd highest percentage of red zone trips into touchdowns? The red zone offense shifted from being scheme-oriented to being player-oriented. Instead of the OC trying to get cute and get players open by design, Chan just had Fitz chuck it up to Marshall or Decker and have them win the ball. Granted, this is much easier when you have those 2 to work with, but do you really think Geno can't throw the same lobs that Fitz did?

    Ryan Fitzpatrick is probably the better quarterback for this team for 2016 (despite the fact that his arm strength mitigates an entire component of the offense). But is he worth 12 times the price of Geno? I'm completely neutral to the situation at this point, I'm prepared and content for either guy to start. I'm just confused at the notion that the team is screwed if it's Geno.

    I'm bored. I like the draft part of the offseason a lot better than the nothing part of the offseason.

    What do ya think about The Tebow's second coming as a Jet?

    65% throwing, 84% first downs rushing, 94.6% red zone.
