jetscrazey Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Rich Cimini @RichCimini 3m3 minutes ago This is news: Geno Smith is the starter, no competition in training camp, per Jets OC Chan Gailey. #nyj Rich Cimini @RichCimini 1m1 minute ago Barring an injury, Smith "probably" will be Wk 1 starter, per Gailey, who basically said there's no way Geno can lose job in camp. #nyj 7-9 here we come. Unless if Geno is magically a different QB next season, this makes no sense. Look at his career stats then look at Fitzpatrick's. It's not even close, Fitzpatrick is the better NFL QB, because what he lacks vs. Geno in raw talent, he makes up for in smarts and decision-making. Gailey is falling in love with Geno's raw talent (same as Rex/Idzik), we know how badly this ends. Smith career stats: 25 TDs, 34 INTs, 57.5% completions, 6.9 yds/attempt Fitzpatrick career stats: 123 TDs, 101 INTS, 60.2% completions, 6.6 yards/attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscrazey Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Fitz went to Harvard. Still can;t keep a job. How smart can he be? Fitz has a career TD:INT ratio above 1, which is more than I can say for Geno. This team needs a game manager, someone who won't ruin things with a great defense. Geno is not that type of QB.

Integrity28 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm okay with this little bit of psychology. Fitzpatrick won't be healthy enough to take the job until the season has begun. I'm sure a lot of fans here are going to read this at face value and freak out, but the reality I see is Bowles said he'd figure out what makes each individual tick. Since they don't want to start Petty, and Fitz won't be ready, why not get behind Geno and see where that gets you? Rex always hedged on Geno, because of the politicking between he and Idzik. Can't hurt to try a different form of motivation in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno could easily turn it around, we all know the problems the Jets had on offense outside of him. Fitz on the otherhand is who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Seems like the smart thing to do really, first off Fitz is coming off an injury and probably wont be 100% until the start of the season. Then you add the whole thing about how Fitz doesn't really need first team reps during training camp like the other QBs would because he already knows Chans system. Geno has more potential than Fitz and Chan has done well with QBs who weren't so great probably not a bad thing to give Geno a chance and if it doesn't work out Fitz is there to play backup in a system he already knows.

All true points, in addition Smith is a better physical talent than Fitzpatrick ever was. The difference in this situation is if Smith "wets the bed" Bowles will not hesitate to move on to Fitzpatrick as QB. He will not waste the kind of defense we will have this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMAN 1 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Here's the game plan. Geno starts. they go 3-4. Fitzy comes in and saves the season. Fitzy vs Petty next year. OR. Somehow Geno is Good. Bowles will play the best people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Why anoint Geno as the starter? We made the same mistake with him last season and with Sanchez. If Geno earns the starting gig, fine. But let every QB compete for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm more interested in what Mac and Bowles have to say. Gailey takes direction from those two, it's ultimately up to them as to what happens with the QB situation. I seriously think we're over-reacting here. The whole off-season, the mantra has been all about competition. That isn't going to suddenly change just becausea 70-something OC said so. It's most likely this was just taken out of context. Nothing more to see here, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustiniak Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 if fitz were healthy they wouldn't have said that. plus i think they want to test geno to see how he handles it all. fitz can replace him after a month if he's still turning it over.

Stonehands Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I love how everyone feels like Chan Gailey is an offensive mastermind and praises having someone who has been around the block and knows offense in charge of that side of the ball until this same person declares that Geno is the best QB we have on the roster. Instead of being impressed with Geno, we instantly say that Gailey is yet another bum heading a sinking ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not entirely sure why anyone expected any different. He's younger, has a higher upside and is under contract on the cheap, of course they want him to win. It also says that the margin between Fitz and Geno is not all that great or the offensive coordinator with zero ties to Geno wouldn't be anointing him. That having been said, I'm very excited for the meltdown on here that shall ensue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am not worried about this. As with many things it's not about who starts BUT who finishes the season. Now if Geno finishes the season, it would mean, Congrats JETS fans, you have a legit QB on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Geno is only 24 years old. Let's hope he builds off the last part of the 2014 season.

Charlie Brown Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 what did they stand to lose by going into training camp with an open competition? Listen: I think with Fritz being hurt they DON'T want people rushing Petty into the line up before he is ready. We Jets fans are simply not rational and this stops unrealistic expectations before they get ANY momentum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
