Didn't you complain about Jets throwing Geno to the wolves with no proper training? Or was it about Sanchez? Anyway.. Jets are in position to allow a rookie QB to sit back and get up to speed without undue haste, it's a good thing Plus, they need to give Geno and Petty all the reps to figure out what's going on with the backup QB position. There are no reps for the rookie left and no need to squeeze them out of Geno's and Petty's stash.
As far as I know, a player can still be on the sidelines during games/practices and can be in all of the meetings The only thing he can't do is actually practice, but 3rd string (4th?) QBs aren't getting many reps anyway I don't think it's as big a deal as you make it out to be Unless Petty absolutely lights it up, I don't see the reason to expose ourselves with an injury prone QB and no one with any experience at all as the backup Geno is a very good backup in the NFL and he's making very little money...Seems like a bad decision to just hope that Petty would be OK for an extended period of time Maybe we end up carrying 4 QBs it's happened before
Given the circumstances if we hold on to a fourth QB and an extra receiver this year it may hurt us elsewhere now but would allow us another year to see how some of our better young players develop. I would hate to see Bryce Petty or Kembrell Thompkins become the odd man out only to blossom for another team (especially a division rival).
Putting Hack on IR will stall his development, he may still be able to be in team meetings and on the sidelines but if they want real progress from him I don't see how he does that if he doesn't practice with the team. Even if he is only getting a small number of reps, it is still something. I also don't want the team to start pulling things like this, things that when the P*ts do it many here jump all over it. I am one of those people that want the team to go all out but not cross the line. If he truly gets hurt then fine but no phantom injuries. I have said before that unless Petty really makes the jump and clearly passes Geno, then just carry one less fringe player and keep all 4 QBs on the roster. It keeps the team covered for this year and hopefully one of the current QBs is the QB of the future for the team.
I think it is more a waste of a roster spot carrying a fringe LB, DB, ETC that never sees any game action rather than a 4th QB who could possibly be the QB of the future for the team. That fringe LB, DB, ETC is the type of player that can be picked up off the street during the season if the 1st, 2nd and 3rd string all go down.
Or the front office goes with the thinking that you draft a QB every year or 2 until you find your guy. After you find your guy then you draft a QB every 2 or 3 years. Unless Petty implodes over the next few preseason games I don't why they would cut him.
Lol No i never complained about them throwing Sanchez or Geno to the Wolves whatever that means.Id love to see Geno thrown into a cage with hungry Wolves if thats what your asking.
Actually it has happened before, it may not be a common occurrence but when situations warrant it teams do carry 4 QBs. Please explain how important Dakota Dozier or Darren Walls was last year and why a player like them would be more important than grooming a QB?
If Petty continues to play like he did last week, they will be forced to keep 4 QB. I hope he does. I hope Geno plays great too and Hack gets in a drive or two and torches the D. Not a bad problem to have!
Petty isn't getting cut regardless of how he plays. Only way he's getting cut is if he does something ridiculous like knock his fiance out in an elevator.
I hope you are right, because I like Petty a lot. When the Jets took Hack, I wasn't sure if that was a knock on Petty's progress or not.
I think it's very unlikely that they would have drafted a QB specifically because Petty wasn't the guy. They drafted petty as a project and it would be silly to give up on him after one year unless he had major issues that ran beyond the field (personal issues). I think it's more likely that they weren't sure they had a QB of the future on the roster and so they decided to keep trying until they were. That doesn't mean they were done with Petty, just that they weren't convinced he was the guy after one year where he saw little to no action. IMO The fact that they aren't sure about whether they have a QB of the future on the roster is more of an indictment and harbinger on the future of the 4th year QB on the last year of his contract than the 2nd year project QB that they just drafted.
Yeah, no doubt about that. I saw that the 49ers' 3rd string QB is out for the year and Kaep is still hurt meaning all they have right now is Blaine Gabbert. I would offer Geno to them if Petty continues to show progress.
I agree Geno because you would get more for him potentially. It really depends on what we see this week from Petty. Because Geno did not light it up either.I would have expected more from smith against the second teamers then Petty. But showed leader ship and decision making skills Smith did not. I would start Petty with the 2nd teamers and let Geno go in against the 3rd teamers to see if either shows what they can should show. Smith should light it up versus petty who I would expect to struggle but if Petty looks good and Geno struggles then there is something to Petty getting reps
That was more-so on Fitz and Geno if anything else. Perhaps Petty could be the long-term backup or Hack could be the long-term backup who knows, but at least you have options. I just hope 1 of these 2 become the guy. Hell, we might draft another one this year.
I think we def will don't forget Geno and Fitz are free agents next summer and as of now we have neg 2 mil on the cap.
In my mind when the coaching staff signed Fitz that was a declaration that they believe that we can win this season. If you believe that you can win then you need a qualified back-up. Petty can look amazing in games 2-4 of the preseason - but he still isn't ready to be one snap away from being the starter. Geno has received tons of criticism on this board (some deserved and some not) but he is the only capable back up on this roster. People who pile on Geno mercilessly need to shift their perspective. Hate him all you want as a starter - but as a backup he's one of the best in the league. If Fitz goes down then Geno gives our team a shot at salvaging the season. Petty (who is a project much like Geno was when drafted) shouldn't be rushed. Because if he is forced to start a bunch of games because of Fitz getting injured it ain't going to be pretty.

I think Breno needs to be cut from the team personally. A move will be made. Geno or Fitz? Well no way in hell do the Jets ever give Geno a huge extension, they would tag him before signing him long-term. Fitz needs to build on what he did last year and beat Buffalo in the process.
