It's Bryce Petty Time!

27 isn't too bad though, that's still 8-10 seasons of solid play.

 

Brady ordered PEDs under the name "Ashley Manning" - it all makes sense now.

Either that or Belichick made Brady his lab rat.

 

If he steps in at 26/27 and plays like Sanchez out the gates then yeah that's pretty bad but if his time on the bench makes for a solid starter from day 1 then that works out well, I think.

In any event, it's almost certain that we'll be picking at least 1 more QB over the next couple of drafts. It's always good to have multiple young options on the roster. Just ask the Redskins.

 

He should be more mentally mature if not game-ready. He won't get caught stealing crab legs.

 

crab legs part of incentive clause for JWinstons contract

 

LOL

Mike Maccagnan on Bryce Petty's Progress

Four Points from the Jets GM on the How the Young QB Has Made the Leap from College to the Pros


Heading into the offseason, Jets fans have seen what Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith, the first two quarterbacks on the Green & White depth chart, can do. But they still may not be sure what they've got in now-second-year man Bryce Petty.

General manager Mike Maccagnan said the team's coaches and personnel people are very optimistic about what Petty can bring to the table for 2016 and beyond.

"We're really excited about working with Bryce this offseason," Maccagnan told Jets season ticket holders recently on a special conference call, "and this is going to be a very, very important offseason for him in his development. I think he’s the type of kid who’s going to hopefully fulfill and achieve that. And we’ll get a better feel for where he’s at in the preseason next year and we’ll kind of measure that compared to where he was as a rookie to see how far he’s come along."

Here are four points Maccagnan touched on in giving a progress report for where Petty is as he heads into his second season as a Jets and NFL signalcaller, along with a comment from QBs coach Kevin Patullo about the biggest part of Petty's adjustment from Baylor to the Jets:

1. Arm Strength

Maccagnan: "Bryce is a good athlete for his size, he’s got obviously very good size and stature. He has probably one of the strongest arms of all our quarterbacks in terms of his ability to throw the ball and physically make throws that other quarterbacks can’t make."


2. Intangibles

Maccagnan: "I think from an intangible standpoint, he is what we thought he was when we drafted him. He’s got a very good personality, he’s a very hard-working young man, he’s a very smart young man. He really, I think, has the work ethic and the commitment to hopefully fulfill some of his physical potential."


3. Adjustment from College to the Pros

Maccagnan: "We feel he’s progressed very well from where he was and the system he played in in college. A lot of people understood when we drafted him that there was going to be a bit of an adjustment to the NFL, an NFL system. But it's just the simple fact that he’s out there practicing, in the classroom, understanding things more from a system and decision-making standpoint."

Patullo: "Defensively, that's where there's a big game, between college and pro defenses. There's so much no-huddle, tempo and pressure on the defense. In college they just kind of have to line up and play, where at this level, even if you do any of that kind of stuff, the defensive players are so much more athletic and use so much more complex schemes. That’s where the big gap is, it’s just seeing everything and learning."


4. Prognosis for Year 2

Maccagnan: "We feel ability-wise, he can definitely be a quality No. 2 backup and the rest is kind of up to him. He has the physical ability to potentially be a starting-caliber quarterback, but he still has to go out there and do it on the field in preseason and kind of see where he’s at. But we're very excited about working with him and we do feel he has a bright future."

 

Buh Bye GeNo...

 

it's the year of geno! thank god we don't have to hear that retarded shit anymore.

 

Age is but a number. Just depends in the injuries you've taken and how well you've maintained yourself if you can still play. If you don't start until you're 30 but have no injuries you could possibly play until you're 45. Regardless of position. It looks like Adam Vinatieri will play next year at 43 and he's still kicking in the upper echelon.

 

At some point though, Petty will have to take a series of snaps in a live game to gauge where he is. Everything else up until now is just speculation based on observation. Put the kid in for a few series this upcoming pre season. Time to see what the kid has developed into.

I found the following encouraging, even it is from Mehta. From Mehta's mailbag:

 

I wonder if Petty vs Geno is an open competition for the backup job. That's a relatively significant spot given how reluctant Fitz is to protect himself. Is Bryce ready to be one snap away from live action? Can't wait for the preseason.

 

1- I think if there's an open (fair) competition between Geno and Bryce, Geno would win hands down. Geno's had the same 'year to sit and watch' that Bryce just had, plus 2 full seasons under center. I don't think it would even be close. For this reason, I could see Macc shipping Geno out and basically hand the BU job to his draft pic. And avoid a QB controversy.

2- For those of us who love to bash Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith, ask yourself this: How good would Bryce Petty have been had we started him last season, just months removed from college ball? Would he have won 10 games maybe? 5? 2? How many here would hate Bryce right now and want him off the team? You would think we learned our lesson with starting Mark with zero development but nope. We had to ruin 2 QBs.

It's unfair to Geno, Sanchez, Petty, Mariota, Winston, any QB really, to deny them time to develop then want them gone when they can't win the SB year 1.

These aren't 30 yr old men coming back from their 3rd tour in Afghanistan and can't be rattled. These are just kids 2-3 yrs removed from roaming the halls in High School.

So please. Lighten up on Sanchez. Lighten up on Geno Smith. And lets get it right this time with Bryce Petty.

 

Thanks NCJ

Very encouraging article from Manure Mehta. I hope Petty is the guy we have been looking for.
