JetNation Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 By Glenn Naughton The Jets couldn’t have hoped for anything better. In their third pre-season game, a dress rehearsal for the real thing in just a couple of weeks, Gang Green got exactly what they’d hope for from their highly touted defense, and more importantly, from veteran starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick wasn’t spectacular, […] Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ryan Fitzpatrick got the job done thats all we can hope for I dont care about highlight reel plays I just want to win.

AFJF Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 yes ... which is remarkable when you consider the other options we possess .. ready to throw now or after their mouth is fixed and again spewing feces .. It's seriously incredible how some fans view the QB situation. I was at camp the day after Geno got knocked out so Fitz was getting all the reps. During drills he threw an incomplete pass, not even an interception, just an incomplete pass...and somebody screams from the stands "That's why we need Geno back in there".

I noticed your open and optimistic mindset so clearly on display on p. 19 of the thread titled "fitz= worst qb maybe ever to start for a jets team" where you said that having a starting QB like Fitz is worse than either sliding down a 50-ft flaming razor blade or getting dunked in acid. Reading your posts is like accidentally bumping into Kellen Winslow when he's smoking synthetic marijuana - both can't be unseen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sackdance Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I joewilly12 DID NOT POST THAT go back and re-read the thread and see Larz posted that then come back and apologize. Your response was clear, but even if it wasn't you have about 200 other irrational posts on here basically calling Fitz an unmitigated disaster before he even starts a game for the Jets. When framed in terms of an abused wife syndrome, I actually can understand the Geno defender-dreamers. We're so used to horrid quarterbacking that we fear change and cling to those unchanging brutes that abuse us. So I forgive you all. But with that said - wasn't it a nice feeling to watch our offense last night without the odd feeling that our quarterback would do something random and inexcusable to derail the whole team's effort? We've literally had years of such sh*te play and, like many here have maintained in the face of irrational posters (that's you JW12 & johnnysd & dude who started that ridiculous 'worst ever' thread & the few remaining Geno die-hards), all we've been saying is an experienced, journeyman QB who isn't a patented turnover machine is a step in the right direction at QB as opposed to starting a disastrous clown under center.

Based on his entire NFL career he has never won a damn thing it would be great if he can change all that here. Time will certainly tell. I was very critical of him and will remain critical until the season starts and he proves me wrong. Didn't Brett Ratliff also have a 1 great pre season game where is he now.

Lol Ryan Fitzpatrick has never won a a damn thing like I said in another thread I hope he changes all that here. Bryce Petty is damn good young QB if given the opportunity will not disappoint and thats my opinion,now we root for Fitzpatrick to win here.

Bryce Petty is not ready and at this point would be in way over his head if he started. And in no way would give the team a better chance to win games over Fitz.

sackdance Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 1 pre season game and you are putting Fitzpatrick in the Hall of Fame. I never said anything like that. In fact, no one has. But I will say for the following for the second time in successive threads so you understand my position clearly: when it comes to a QB I prefer journeymen (Fitz) to clowns (Geno). Don't misrepresent me again. And in case anyone needs more evidence whose irrational with the hyperbole, there is a 19 page thread titled "fitz= worst qb maybe ever to start for a jets team" - and JW12 into it like Brad Hamilton in a bathroom.

If Fitz plays half as well as journeyman Rich Gannon did in Oakland most will be thrilled.. And Gannon was a 4th rd pick of the Pats in 1987..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fitzy is a middle-of-the-road, average, NFL Journeyman starting QB. Expecting more than that would be unwise. The only reason we should be ok with that (for now) is because "average Journeyman" is several step better than what we've had at QB the past 6 years or so. Enjoy him for what he is, a "good enough" fill in for now, till we draft or acquire a legitimate QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
