Yep.. Bowles doesn't strike me as the type to have a long term plan at Qb. He'll ride Fitz into the offseason, then figure out the Qb thing on the fly.
For the record ... Fitz wasn't the biggest problem today he played well enough to win. This game was lost by ST, pass defense in the first half, and assinine penalties. But every week it's a different player or players who shit away the game. Sometimes it's Fitz. Sometimes it's Brandon Marshall. Sometimes it's Pryor ... or Revis ... whoever. This team is loaded with guys who just don't know how to win. There's no reason to think that will change, so we may as well see if Petty can play at this level. Who cares if we win another game??
Fitzpatrick is the worst qb in the league. Yes, there are more issues than just him, but he's terrible. You can't justify still playing him. You can't even confidently say he gives us the best chance to win.
I think it makes more sense to start him coming out of the bye. I know they'd be playing the Patriots but I think it's better to give him 2 full weeks of first team reps. If they weren't this close to the bye i'd want him playing next week.
He won't start Petty period..even now after two more crucial picks this shithead just proclaimed Fitzpatrick is "our quarterback".
I want the Jets to start Petty now too, but realistically I think they'll wait until after the bye. That will give the team (if they have any brains up there) two weeks to crash course him to be fully ready to start, rather than coming off the bench with a backups week of reps.
He threw 2 int's that cost us points and he wasn't the biggest problem? You have pretty low standards! If the return hadn't happened, would you still consider him not the biggest problem? I've been saying we should never have used him since the spring at least, and we should be going with Petty. I think we have to seriously start questioning the coaching staff at this point. Everyone in the league seems to know exactly who Fitz is except this coaching staff and some Jets fans. How could Petty possibly be worse? No one seems to be mentioning that Wilkerson and Richardson were benched the first quarter, and Marshall and Fitz were fighting on the sideline during the game. Ron
Fitzpatrick lost 11 or 15 points alone in the red zone, missed Brandon Marshall who got his guy beat in the end zone. Missed Enunwa in the endzone/near the end zone and his INT in the red zone. Jets win if there was any clue about punching it in the end zone. With Fitz, it's always kick under 30 yard FGs in the red zone. Guys like Marshall and Robbie Anderson have to jump for balls for this guy. And his down the field arm is god awful, it's not going to be Devin Smith's fault when he's the invisible man out there.
Ugh the kyle Wilson-esque finger waving pryor... It know its not saying much but since we went safety in that draft i would've preferred Haha Clinton-Dix. That dude is a tackling machine. But this year's team is lacking overall in different aspects like you said, but man this team is LACKING confidence up and down the roster
THERE IS NO REASON to continue with Fitz. Its time to see what we have at every position never mind qb,,,,,,but the coach is in over his head and is clueless, just watch his press conferences , KOTITE ESQUE ! On the the other hand the gm has 12 million reasons to tell the coach to continue starting Fitz,,,,,,,blow it up already its a train wreck why wait until next year ?
The fact is the 2nd INT was meaningless. We got the ball back in the same spot and scored about 90 seconds later. He was FAR from our biggest problem today. In fact, I'd put him 5th or 6th down the list
I want to see petty at this point also, but what if he just stinks? We all like the player we don't know. If he sucks and there's a great chance he stinks,.
The playcalling in the red zone has been idiotic all year. Blame Gailey for that as well. We have Matt Forte and we never use him!! The 2nd INT cost us NOTHING. You don't get to put the ball back in the 11 yard line if you score there. The bottom line is, we DID score about 90 seconds later had a 23-20 lead ... and shit the bed on ST.
