AFJF Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Can't paste whole article but can link the tweet. I thought the same exact thing when I heard Bowles' presser yesterday. You don't even consider playing your no. 2 QB in PS game no. 4 if you're carrying 4. Jets are either still split on Geno vs Petty, or showcasing Geno.

Beerfish Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I think they still have not 100% made up their mind about the backup spot, unless some team offers up better than expected trade value for petty/geno. I see Petty and smith getting about equal time and hackenburg time as well. Not sure why the backup playing in the final game is viewed as some big deal, it isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustiniak Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 i understand it if they're showcasing him but it's kindofa no win. if he plays well so what it's against scrubs. if he doesn't play well it's worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thshadow Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I agree - they *should* play the backups in game 4. Let Geno / Petty / Hack all play. Maybe Geno gets Q1, Petty gets Q2, and Hack gets the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's a big deal because you have a starter with a history of getting dinged up but considering exposing his backup to injury despite having two young guys behind him who can use the reps.

JustInFudge Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 So much for being the back up in the dress rehearsal. Geno is bye bye. This is kind of stupid though. Much rather Petty and Hack get the reps. Give Petty the experience of preparing for a game as a starter. Nobody is looking at game 4 in the preseason to determine whether they want to sign a player or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he plays as poorly against the Eagles scrubs as he did against all the other scrubs he's faced this preseason (53% comp pct and 62 QBR) they may decide to cut bait.

This only seems like an issue imo because we are carrying 4 guys. Most teams are going to play their 2nd stringer, the 2nd stringers have to get ready for the season as well.

Let's face it even WITH Geno the Jets are toast if Fitz goes down for a lengthy period so why not give the young guys better reps and just get rid of a guy who simply doesn't fit in and has looked awful. If Fitz goes down Geno is NOT going to make the team any better than if Petty had to come in. Petty throws a better deep ball and sees more poised than Geno. I would cut him.

PepPep Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Geno will play but not very much. I think the Jets have pretty much decided on Geno but I really have no clue on what that decision is. I've been leaning towards the Jets keeping 4 but have gone back and forth recently due to Hack/Petty's promising play and Geno's underwhelming play. Can't wait to see the Hack attack! I think his confidence will be up, his nerves down and he will get more time to get settled in as he will play more than last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebag Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Perhaps they're trying to do a "Sanchez" on Geno so they don't have to decide for themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys behind him have zero. No reason to give him reps Petty and Hack can use. Geno may not even play on Thurs, but the fact that they're thinking about it tells us they're not 100% sold.

Nick Blitz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 In Geno's current form I'm not sure 'showcasing' him is going to be the best idea. Play Petty and Hackenberg a half each and take whatever for Geno, it's going to be a late conditional pick whatever so even if we have to straight cut him, won't be a big loss.

Rangers9 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 First Geno like any Qb deserves any Ws he's earned. None of them come easy except of course that Geno game against the Bills. That was too easy (for Buffslo that is and thanks to Geno). The surprise to me was last weeks game and why Geno had only had two series. Unless the Jets don't care about NFL tradition and played who they wanted to play for their own reasons. So either they're showcasing him or he's going to win the job and they want him to get some snaps. Hard to figure out these Qb moves actually going back 8 months. And not just the Jets but other teams. At this point they're dealing with smaller amounts of money but maybe some teams have to scrimp and save on a backup Qb to come in budget in terms of the cap. Mettenberger just got cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope if the Jets are toast early they bench the loser for one of the kids, I don't need people screaming next year we should sign him again for another 12 million plus if the Jets start 1-6, 2-5, and then when the back end of the schedule lightens up with a lot of scrubby teams Fitz winning say 6 of the 9 games the fans will be pointing out how he finished strong down the stretch he is our best option yada yada yada, forgetting he is not good enough to beat good teams in this league no matter the supporting cast. Watching him this preseason is worse then what I saw of him last season which was almost unwatchable football as far as enjoyment goes for me, I never thought I would see a more boring unwatchable game then the Giants Jets game last season, until I watched the first half of the Giants Jets preseason game this year it was like watching paint dry.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 And wait....you thought the 2015 Giants game was boring? The one where we scored 10 unanswered points in the 4th quarter for a comeback win, the first time we'd beaten the Giants since 1993? That one? Of all the games from last year to go with to bash Fitzpatrick, you pick that one. Wow. What a glass-half-empty person you must be, and certainly a blast at parties.
