Morrissey Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 EDIT: Texans are trading QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets for a late-round conditional draft pick, per a league source. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 11, 2015 The @nyjets add another QB (via @Rapsheet): http://t.co/6xjJ6u4wx0 pic.twitter.com/oeLKY1JLTV — NFL (@NFL) March 11, 2015 --------------------------------- Just in time for St. Paddy's day?!?!?!?!?! Instead of flooding the board with all things Fitzy we should keep it all in here, similar to the Revis thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You know everybody was saying that Hoyer would have been better but Fitz has gotten to be a better QB as he's matured-he had a 95 QBR last season like 20 pts higher than Hoyer. All I know is he is a better quarterback than Geno Smith who is way too inconsistent for us. One game he can get a perfect passing rating and the next week zero out-I have never seen a QB be able to do that in the space of a month or so. If we can't get Breeze and Foles is already a moot point then get me this guy, he's smart and tough and can throw the ball pretty well. ABGS=Anybody BUT Geno Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The Ryan Fitzpatrick-to-the-Jets move could be a trade Posted by Darin Gantt on March 11, 2015, 10:01 AM EDT When the seemingly inevitable Brian Hoyer signing comes through for the Texans, they’re going to have too many quarterbacks again. And it appears they have a plan to get something for one of the spares. According to Albert Breer and Kim Jones of the NFL Network, once Hoyer signs with the Texans they’re expected to trade Ryan Fitzpatrick to the Jets quickly. The groundwork for this deal seems to have been in place for some time, and makes sense for both sides. The Texans will have Hoyer and Ryan Mallett and Tom Savage, and the Jets need someone to serve as mentor/insurance policy for Geno Smith. Fitzpatrick spent a year with Chan Gailey in Buffalo, so he’ll know what’s happening in New York. Of course, the Jets could probably wait the Texans out to cut Fitzpatrick, but the possibility that someone else might want him means it’s probably worth giving up a seventh-rounder or some such to secure his $3.25 million contract for next year. Either that, or Jets General Manager Mike Maccagnan is just doing his old boss a favor by throwing a pick their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Fitzpatrick signed for 2 years - 7.5 million (4.5 guranteed) If we do acquire him, we have him for less money than we had Vick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he only has one year left at $3.25M Not bad money-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernJet Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 JMO..but I'd take Fitz over Hoyer. Fitz knows Chans playbook. If Geno slips on his pecker, and fails the 'Chans Playbook Test', then at minimum Fitz can start Day One knowing 100% of playbook , and further, teach the other Off players the nuances of it.

SouthernJet Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The point is there's NO GOOD QB's available and the Jets have NO QBs! this is true. why I like Fitz AND draft a QB, whether at #6 or later in draft. Fitz at least knows Chans playbook, coupled w/Bowles Defense should be able to game manage us to within playoff range, while young QB learns or if Mariotta, he learns or damnit, wins the job, the way Russel Wilson did few years back.

Vinny16 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This seems rather inevitable. Not exactly an exciting choice, but there needs to be competition for Geno and Fitzpatrick already knows Gailey's system. Still wouldn't mind them investigating a trade for someone like Austin Davis as well if we're not going QB at #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Does CJ Spiller comes with him? We don't need him-we have the healthy Bilal Powell who is a potential 1200 yard back IMHO. he should have NEVER been made to sit behind Mister 2 yards and a cloud of dust Chris Johnson. The good news though is having been misused by Ryan and under-used by every OC we've had since he got here he has never been beaten up the way a guy like CJ Spiller and Johnson has been. Draft another HB and go with Chris Ivory, Bilal Powell and either Daryl Richardson (if he's still on the team) or a rookie RB we pick up in the draft.

Integrity28 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm okay with this if we sign him and he's the guy this year. You know what to expect from him, he showed last year he can complete over 60% of his passes, can throw more TDs than INTs and can produce some offense with less weapons than we have now. He's not Drew Brees, but he'd get us over the hump and help us win now, while continuing to build behind him. Who knows, Geno might thrive in a spread offense too. Hard to say.

That would be a pretty good day at the office for Maccagnan. As mediocre as Fitzpatrick is, to upgrade at QB and bring in a top-flight receiver by essentially trading one mid-level draft pick, that's pretty good.

It's his 3rd year and he's never had any offensive weapons outside of Decker last year.

We need a QB no matter what unless you are happy with Geno Smith, Matt Simms and some draft pick. with the additions this team can be competitive or more if we just get a QB that screws up less.
