No, he was supposed to earn it or at least keep playing at a decent level. Now are we supposed to say, "yes please, F us up the @ss too Fitz"? Screw him.

Let's get smart about this. If Geno was the man, why bring in Fitz last season? For a BACKUP if you remember correctly Geno Smith was the STARTER until the locker room incident.

Fitz's strength was getting the ball out quick, leadership and knowing the offense. Not really anything else. Surely these skills aren't exclusive to him... If I were to only watch the Jets the last decade or so, and ignore the opposing QBs, I would say yes, yes they certainly seem to be...

That doesn't necessarily have to be Fitz, but he was/is the best option for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 If he's still in the roster, I think Geno extends his streak of 14 games on the bench well into next year. Could be the anti-Ripken if he hangs around long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz has flaws, but last season was the first season in how long that Jets games were exciting and fun to watch after week 7 in how long? There is no excitement to be derived from a Geno Smith led season. Jets fans have already had to sit through two years of that. A third would be torture.

win4ever Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 In a way I'm glad we are sticking to our guns. There is no point in over-paying for mediocre talent, so I hope Fitz enjoys his retirement. Funny he considers it an insult when no team wanted him last year for anything but a 7th round pick, and he basically stole money from the Bills by signing that big contract. The happiest person on the team might be Devin Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely is excitement to be had. Though it's only April. I gotta "kool" it down a bit. Just happy we may actually give a young QB a legit shot instead of overpaying for a mediocre dead-end.

Fitz isn't going down a coal mine anytime soon. He's pretty much set and even if he isn't, has a nice education to fall back on. There's nothing that would present the immediate physical risk to him the way NFL Football would, which I'm sure he knows better than you having actually taken the hits. This is a guy who dives head first to get extra yards, who risked a concussion to get the Jets a TD vs the Texans last year. This is the guy you're all giving sh*t to for putting a price on that. Get the f*ck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I don't know how true this is but if he is firm about getting 16 mil per year then the Jets have to go forward without him. And I'm a big fan of his but he isn't worth that figure if that's what he's asking for. If he wants in the 10 mil range with maybe a few incentives I think we should sign him. Maybe like a lot of players he's getting tired of getting his head handed to him and his brains scrambled plus broken bones, etc. And seeing older players who can barely walk and talk.

prime21 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Fitz will look to sit out the season but then suit up in Buffalo after Taylor gets injured. This is will set up that last game of the season. I'm right here Coach!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seriously affect how teams evaluate him, it's not something you put out as a negotiation tactic, which is why I think most of the gloating in this thread is ridiculous.
