JetNation Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 By Glenn Naughton Immediately after selecting Penn State Quarterback Christian Hackenberg in the second round of the NFL draft, insider Ian Rapoport addressed the current status of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and it appears the Jets are still making an effort to re-sign Fitzpatrick, but it’s entirely possible that their contract offer may go from two seasons to just a one-year deal. Should Fitzpatrick return, it would make for a crowded quarterback depth chart with Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Hackenberg and last season’s fourth-round pick, Bryce Petty rounding out the group. Smith, of course, would be the lone signal caller who was not brought in by the current regime. Come opening day, it’s unlikely the Jets will carry four quarterbacks, and as most coaches and General Managers lean toward keeping “their guys”, it may be that Geno Smith has played his final game as a New York Jet.

jetsfellow Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd say it's a good bet if Fitz signs, then Geno is a goner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbatesman Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It would be the one good thing to come out of this Hackenberg debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell41 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I stick by my prediction, Fitz is out. Geno has the job by default with Bryce and Hack given every opportunity to take the job. Unlike Lynch Hack has the mental smarts to start right away if he earns it. But he has to earn it. We have 3 young QB's that all have potential. I think the plan is to let them battle.

AFJF Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Funny that the Jets are "comfortable" with Geno starting, but drafted a QB in round 2 and STILL want Fitz to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would rather have Fitz be the guy this season and help show the two younger guys the right way to be a professional. Say what you want about his play on the field but I have not heard very much about his preparation and leadership being in question. Geno on the other hand was handed the starting job and lost the team to the degree of getting his jaw broken and barely a word of support was spoken outside of BM. Significantly different clubhouses with just that choice. I would think Macc would prefer to groom his two young guys with an actual pro over whatever Geno is.

If I had to pick one Geno is a goner. Hack or Petty would get picked up off the practice squad. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngsters can at least learn a little bit about preparation/execution in a pro offense rather than a "blind leading the blind" scenario.

The thing that the Jets are most comfortable with is not overpaying for average talent. That sums up the Fitzpatrick negotiations so far. Fitz is a better bet than Geno next year but the margin isn't wide enough to give Fitz 10 million plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the only coaching hires that confused me. It would be much more beneficial to have Fitz in the room for a year or so I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are now of the mindset that the best offense is a shut down defense. Lock up Mo long term, bring down his cap # and let's go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
