Very happy with this...VERY HAPPY how Jets dropped the ultimatum. Fitzy deserves another year at the least. Happy for us. Geno super fans..sorry haha
Fitz gives this team the best opportunity to win games, period. In regards to the contract, the 1-2mil difference that may have been saved had they stood firm would not be more beneficial than having our starting QB present for the entirety of training camp.
If Foles is available on the cheap, <$4mil, I'd pick him up as well, and cut Geno & Petty. Then we'd have a true competition, as well as a tradable asset should a playoff team lose their starter
I will say I commend all the Geno fans for sticking to their guns. I did the same with Chad Pennington, Mark Sanchez and currently I am with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Nothing wrong with sticking with your guy. I never was a Geno guy and he has done nothing to change my mind so far. I certainly was not a Ryan Fitzpatrick guy, but his play last year changed my mind. Great having him back for 2016.
Dude really? That all you can come up with. I'm willing to bet anybody on this board? That Fitzpatrick shits the bed this season? I'll bet he doesn't come close to the stats he had last season?
Much better post than some of the idiots that are gloating(?) because the Jets signed Ryan Fitzpatrick I would have rather seen a young homegrown Jet take over but looks like next in line is Petty or Hack Geno needs to still work hard and play great in pre-season.....one hit away as the backup and just for himself if he wants to stick in the league Now that the Jets made their decision it's time for everyone to support the team....crying ain't gunna change anything for those that thought they should go in a different direction
Relax dude....there's a few idiots on here that got their guy back....as if that means anything.....and now they wanna talk shit LOL Just morons, ignore em
where the hell is this talk that fitz wanted $12 million a year? i'm pretty sure he wanted something in the $16-$18 million range for a 1-year deal and we offered $9 million, then brought it up to $12 million a few hours before he signed if people are bitching over an extra $3 million for our starting QB who brought us to 10-6 last year then idk what to tell you. i will say that i think he's overrated, but he's getting paid (i think) as the 21st best QB in the league and that's definitely market value edit: Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington 4h4 hours ago Fitzpatrick wanted $18 mill... then $16. Jets stayed on $9 for two months. Then, they raised to $12 with today's 7 pm deadline. And voila! that's the tweet just as proof
If Geno plays I'll root for him because of the uni. We might shit the bed with Fitz but he has way more upside than Geno. Most of the players and Jet fans know this. It is what it is. GO JETS JMO
I wonder what we do next year in regards to our cap as we will be heading into the off season with 3 mil in space and no starting QB on the roster ...
Lol. You can see the hate coming out, over an obvious football move that was a no brainer essentially, and that was going to happen in the end. All the bullshit and conjecture all that time meant jack shit. Anybody that set themselves up for a disappointment with the idea that Geno was going to be the man is the fucking idiot here Yeah, I wonder who these guys here want to go to war with? This season or in life?
