First of all Fitz has an average arm he's not a rag arm. He can make the throws. And he threw 31 Td passes last year. Secondly long passes are over rated. They aren't that successful. You can win big without the long ball. The perfect example is your team. Third: I don't believe you.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you also have to consider the fact he hasn't been answering Marshalls texts... that's' evidence for the opposing side that he may be leaving but that's not my gut feeling. Something tells me he isn't answering Marshalls Texts because there is a deal about to get done (unfortunatly), and he, and the Jets want no leaks so Fitz just going silent till deal is official.

pdxgreen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Best line I've read all week about Fitz was on Reddit (Amazingly!) "He played himself." If he isn't willing to sign the offer now then his ego has gotten in the way. He is just not that good and even he knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes the most sense. If he doesn't sign with the Jets, then it's the couch all day, babysitting the five kids. Not sure he's ready to hang it up yet.

Though I would hate for it to happen I have to agree with you. People are flipping out about him not returning Marshalls texts, but Osweiler did the same thing when in negotiations because his agent told him to end all contact with the team until he gets him his deal. The fact that Fitz is really not returning his texts could very well point to the fact that his agent had him go dark while he gets a deal done. Marshall's been in the league for a decade, he knows the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys don't like RG3. I saw today Santana Moss basically saying his favorite Qb with the Redskins was Brunell. He listed RG3 as his 5th favorite Qb out of 5. Glennon would take take more compensation to get and TB needs a backup. Another reason why it makes no sense not to sign Fitz. I dont think any Jets fan has a problem resigning Fitz, I surely dont. The problem is paying Fitz 12 million AND guaranteeing him the starting position. That's f'ing ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a Qb competition on the Jets. Geno is the backup unless they don't sign Fitz. Fitz won the job last season. And had a good year. As for the 12 mil it's negotiable I'm sure even though it's below standard for a starting NFL Qb even a lower tier one. The only guys making less are still on rookie deals. The issue still is years 2 and 3. They want him to sign a backup contract for those two years and that's the point of contention. Why not just offer him a one year deal for less money and see if he signs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It is utterly amazing how many keystrokes and how much ink has been wasted on the Demario Davis of QB's.

Kleckineau Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Title is misleading. If Fitz is renting the house he cannot put it up for rent. His only options are to sign a new lease or walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 You would think Fitz isn't signing with another team at this time (unless Denver and that deal could be off the table) because no starting jobs available. He has to play in 2016 to get a good contract for 2017 and 2018. Whether with the Jets or another team. A good reason why if he does not sign Mac's 3 year deal he would take less money on a one year deal but with a team who needs a starter. Signing a backup deal isn't going to help him for 2017. If the Jets did sign him for the one year then we would be in a position to bid for Tyrod Taylor who will be a UFA in 2017. Here's a guy completely underpaid. In that case they would go on from Hack but it will cost them a lot of money. When a player is under contract (even greatly underpaid) teams do not rip the deal up and compensate them. You are stuck with that contract like Fitz was after signing his 2/7 deal with the Texans and then starting 28 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't beat out anyone. He's never beaten out anyone. He always received the starting role due to injury and was soon after released, traded or left in free agency.

Jets fans have been starving for competent QB play for so long, that Ryan Fitzpatrick, an undeniably physically limited journeyman QB, is worth arguing over.

When you post Patriots highlights on a Jets board in an effort to trash the Jets starting QB who just set the team record 31 TD passes, no words are required. As they say, actions speak louder than words. Kind of how the Jets are saying they're excited about Geno, but they're offering Fitz 7x's the salary and handing him the starting job.
