I still believe those wishing to see Geno under center this year will also get there wish.

People dont realy get it. There are not expectations for the Jets this year.

That's a win win. Now would you have a problem with him getting that money if we go deep into the playoffs or even to the SB. Some of you probably would, regrettably.

Lupz27 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 4 minutes ago, cant wait said: I think it's a gross overpay but it buys the jets the most important thing they need right now and that's time for the young players to develop. Putting fitz out there should keep the wolves from howling like they would if the jets started out 1-5 or 0-6. personally I'm just happy that we won't have to hear about the legend of ryan fitzpatrick beyond this season This isn't a move for the young players to develop, this is a move to make the coach, and the veteran players happy, there is zero other reason then that to sign him to this 1 year deal.

Kevin L Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Can't wait to see what happens if Geno beats Fitz in camp for starting position. Will there be pressure to start Fitz because of the contract, or will the best man get the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, Fitzpatrick has a lot of goodwill on his side and will be given the benefit of the doubt far longer than smith would.

CrazyCarl40 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Geno is effectively done as a Jet. If Fitz gets hurt or the teams sucks, it'd be better to see Petty or Hack at the end of the season.

Mike135 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Holy $hit. 12mil for Fitz. Smdh. Well he better earn the name FitzMagic the first 6 weeks of the season. Otherwise we'll hopefully see Geno pretty quickly and Macc will have wasted 12mil in cap space. Until he does fail though... Guess it's all aboard the Fitz train. Ugh, time to buy a FitzMagic shirt.

We shall see but not on the hook for anything next season is big. Especially if Petty or Hack make strides. I have a feeling they'll be doing the same dance next offseason, but time to focus on 2016. Exactly. If Fitz cant replicate this past year, he finds himself w/o a job and being a back up or having to settle for less guaranteed money. Its his roll of the dice and its cool Mac decided to let him have his way. If Fitz has a great year again, which I believe he will surpass last year's achievements, he will warrant a raise. This is a win win for everyone.....except Geno...SEE YAWOULDNT WANNA BE YA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I really don't get the extreme feelings in either direction for this, love or hate. Statistically speaking, last year was an outlier for Fitz, and in all likelihood he'll regress back to the mean this year, which is solid if unspectacular. He's no savior, but hardly a major hindrance to this team either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hadn't though much on this subject for a while but with camp coming on I did today .. At one this afternoon I was asking myself what Geno would have to do to raise himself up from the dickhead is is deservedly perceived as ... At three this afternoon it occurred to me that if Fitz didn't take the money offered he could actually take over the role of dickhead for over valuing himself and take the heat off of Geno... Now this news comes ... I'm glad Fitz is back and Geno is still a dickhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He imposed a deadline and offered a ONE year deal at 12 million. Less years and dollars that Fitz wanted. Fitz is the one who caved and ran to florham park right before the deadline. Actually Fitz leaked about a month ago that he'd accept a 1 year 12 M deal. Jets couldn't do it then because Mo counted 16 M. IMO Macc saw smith walk in today, got the shutters, and called Fitz's agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
