That's a pretty good group to work with. He had three excellent WRs to throw the ball to, and a good CB to throw against. Hopefully, he learned something from those four.
I'm not sure I'd agree about the Jets taking on the mantle of a team that no one wants to play. No NFL D is afraid of Fitz. Ivory was banged up. Brick was mediocre. The Jets OLBs were slower than molasses and applied little consistent pressure except when Mauldin was in the game. We had a rookie CS. I don't think any team would have been afraid to play us. No offense meant, but that's a little too optimistic/unrealistic imo.
ahhh... but you are not factoring in the wild card for this year. Quigley finally went down under. Our punting game can only improve. ST's will help us get W's with our defense keeping games close.
People are all over Fitz and "whether he can be trusted" with a new contract But Mevi$ can stink up the Buffalo loses last year (it was not jus Fitzs play) taken to school by S Watkins and then get paid 17 mil per year fully guaranteed??! If our high priced corner shows up we can certainly contend
We should just come out and announce that Geno is the starter and we are no longer intrested in Fitz .I'm tired of this whole scenario and ready to move on to something else
Revis stunk in both losses? The second loss was game planning, not Revis "stinking it up" Probably becuase of the wrist but regardless, they played all zone on Watkins for some odd reason. I would have put Revis on Woods and doubled Watkins. As for the first loss? He was on Sammy Watkins all game and this was Sammy's line CTCH YDS AVG TD LNG TGTS Sammy Watkins 3 14 4.7 0 6 7 And before anyone mentions the 3rd down reception at the end to seal it, do you really think that's why we lost that game?
I think Jets FO must base team management keeping in mind priority #1 - make absolutely sure LongIslandBlitz is not tired and is willing to continue ... something.
Revis was horrible in the 2nd game dude. Regardless of scheme Revis watched Watkins catch ball after ball in front of him on 10 yard stops at the first down marker. Bowles should've adjusted and added help underneath if he was going to keep Revis 15 yards off, but at some point the player is on the field dude. He also got absolutely torched by Watkins in that first game, but Taylor air mailed the fly route in the rain.
Fair points about DR and to his credit : Revis recorded a a 56.5 passer rating allowed in 2015, third-best mark in the NFL However, will he repeat that against some upper tier teams in 2016....and is that worth 39 million fully guaranteed?? My point is that while both Fitz and Revis had good Seasons no one has a shred of doubt about Revis, Skrine and Wiliams where the Jets also went all in but did it really pay off? Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine surrendered more than 700 yards each, a combined 10 touchdowns, and passer ratings of over 100.0. More questions than answers at corner, where we spent millions already, but they low ball Fitz a key element in winning ...SMH

I love how dudes continue to drop by this thread to announce they are done with Fitz with instructions for what the FO should do. Immediately. Even better are the dudes that come here to tell us...they are done talking about Fitz. I trust the irony of those posts are not lost on said posters. _
I want them to pass on Fitz and start Geno just to see how high-pitched the Stokes Whinefest is capable of getting. This season is a wash either way, might as well make TGG a little more drama.
Ha. I came here to say that I am done with Fitz. While I think its pointless giving advice to the FO on a message board, I hope they understand the value of a guy getting 1st team reps throughout training camp. Many teams (including ours) that struggle to find a QB usually run QB competitions each year and then the 1st team reps get split up between QBs. I think there is an arguement to sticking with Geno and allowing him to practice fully with the 1st team throughout the offseason.
