    We are already fucked playing 5 of our first six games against playoff teams and the other against buffalo.

    Fitz has got a really low bar then.

    His claim to fame was setting the Jets season td passing record.

    That's like beating Billy Barty in a dunk contest.

    True we've had a bunch of shitty qb play.

    But does anyone think that Fitz is in the all-time top 5 of Jets qb's?

    I hadn't even considered the possibility that he hasn't been working out all this time.

    No, but then I don't recall ever saying that he was dead to me. I'm glad he re-signed. He signed for less than was rumored, so evidently wasn't as greedy as the media had portrayed him, although he didn't have any leverage.

    Whether they can overpay or not is irrelevant. Why in the hell should they overpay for a mediocre jag veteran? Mac should be fired if he knowingly overpays for a stiff like Fitz. Some of the ideas you guys have kill me. SMH

    most quarterbacks have very average physiques and Fitzpatrick has a noodle for an arm right now. hes not in football shape I am sure.

    At one point I would have agree with you regarding the mentoring aspect, but no longer. We don't need Fitz coming back mentoring our young QBs on how to hold out for more money that they aren't worth. Eff Fitz. I don't wish injuries on anyone, but I'm getting very close to the point of wishing Fitz would suffer a major injury so it wouldn't even be possible for him to come back to the Jets.

    LOL come on man....We all know I don't want him back either but I would never wish injury on a guy, Fitz isn't a bad dude

    Why are you taking it personally?? He can hold out all he wants and I just kinda laugh at it. I don't hate the guy for wanting more money no matter how delusional he is

    I'm not taking it personally. He's done nothing to me, but he's making things difficult for the team I love, and I don't like anyone who does that. He's also just being a greedy jerk, and I despise greedy jerks. It would be one thing if he actually had the same talent level or the youth and potential of the other QBs who are making that kind of money, but he doesn't.

    Fitz looks fine. I get if you don't want him back, but don't jump on every little thing without even knowing if it's true or means anything.

    Fitz isn't holding out as he is not under contract. Don't hate a guy because he thinks he is worth more than an offer he received from the Jets. Sure its an above market offer but this is probably his last chance at a big pay day. I don't blame the dude for trying to get more, I just don't want this dragging on during camp and causing more unneeded distractions. That's on Macc, not Fitz.

    Still- wishing injury seems pretty extreme but I gotcha

    And you're right but that's Fitz's choice to hold out for one last payday

    It's up to Macc and the Jets to officially move on at this point....it's only difficult because we haven't moved on

    I wasn't saying he got fat, I was just saying I hadn't considered the possibility that he hasn't been working out seriously enough this offseason without the structure of a team. I wonder how often/with whom he's even been throwing. I'm sure a professional quarterback is responsible enough to train on his own, but you never know.

    How "Jets like" for Fitz to finally sign and then fail his physical.

    The fat fuck has been sitting around eating Yankee Doodles and watching Monster Truck Jam.

    lol

    When does your arrogant hate stop spewing

    Don't talk like Fitz is raiding your teachers pension. FTR I said that I was disappointed in JSexton the Agent as well. RF may ultimately cave and accept the deal for all I know

    The two parties are not in agreement over the second and third year...as a few other posters have mentioned Fitz is ok with 12 mil the first year

    His total offer comes to 24 million which is very cheap in todays market....No I don't think Fitz is greedy when you have obvious greed in Mevi$

    I pointed out how this FO gladly overpays for Revis by 70 million without blinking an eye. Yes I know we needed CBs but the point that you sadly miss is Revis is hardly elite back then and now eg JNorman RSherman quickly eclipsing him. When you shelled out money like that its no wonder Mac has to scramble to put deals together

    You have read my posts before NC and I am sure you see I support Mac but, unlike yourself, don't see him as completely infallible that's all

    With Wilkerson a deal could have been stuck last year and prob for less before the Suh and Fletcher Cox deals were made and bumped the whole market up

    I get your undying love for Geno and rabid defense of MM but save the cobra venom and do us all a favor

    +10000

    What are posters not getting? We all know Fitz is not the answer but Geno is trash. Long term is Hack and Petty and they cant step up yet

    Presently we have no real assets at QB arguably the most important position in a QB driven league

    Compare QB, RF GS BP CH with the DL where you have quality younger players like MO Richardson and LWilliams its a mismatch
