Only two realistic possibilities left. 1) Bowles and the coaches talked it over last night and he decided to settle on Geno for the no. 2 job. End of story. or.... 2) Jets are considering trade offers and don't want him to get dinged up. They could release him, but I think a deal for conditional 7th is more likely than that.

JetFaninMI Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm torn on showcasing Geno. On one hand He looks good and they get a pick for him maybe. The other hand he gets hurt and they are stuck with him. Just get rid of him and get what you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronx Jet01 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Rich Cimini ESPN Staff Writer After saying yesterday he might play Geno Smith on Thursday against the Eagles, Jets coach Todd Bowles said today he'll go with Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. Smith won't play, after all. This would seem to indicate Smith has locked up the No. 2 job. Bowles on the four-man QB race: "All four are good football players. We can keep all four. It's just a matter of battling with the other positions, so that's still up for grabs. We'll have to wait until after this game to see how that plays out."

Beerfish Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Well imo if they get an offer for him they should take it. I don't think he is in the plans beyond this year at all anyway. If they are keeping him then they really do feel they can make the playoffs with geno at the helm. Going to be an interesting week or two around here.

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. I thought the Defensive part of the first half of the game was very exciting. Offense you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWhofans Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Bowles said Geno will not play on Thursday. Frankly I would keep 4 quarterbacks and cut an extra DL, because we have plenty. Jenkins, McLendon, Simon, in addition to Mo, Leo, and Sheldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Ya I told Cimini " Probably 100% right OR it means Jets have a trade worked out not to be announced till after game & new team d/n want injury risk " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Maybe they're waiting till after game 4 to see if they get a better offer. It could be teams that need backups have been low balling Mac and he basically drew a line in the sand on price. If not that price he keeps all 4. There could be a few more injuries until the season starts or even afterwards. And teams don't seem to want to spend a lot of money on backup Qbs. So the people who said for 7 months no market for Qbs boy were they wrong. Of course they'll never admit it. We got a hell of a deal getting Fitz for only 12 mil. And on a one year contract with no additional guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I think they've got their guy with Shaun Hill. They don't want to really bring in Kap even if they can get him cheaper because it's still Teddy's job and they don't want to start a Qb controversy. Even though there were questions before the season about how good a Qb Teddy is going to be long term. Some think not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have to make a move for two reasons. 1) Hill is meh 2) If Hill gets hurt, I think they have a rookie UDFA behind him. With a guy who doesn't turn it over a ton like Geno or Sanchez, they can do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've seen enough of him, and want to give Petty the start and one last chance to unseat him. Maybe they wanna put the bubble-wrap on him in case they actually get a trade offer.

jgb Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I don't think they've decided either. 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. I feel like this "history of getting dinged up" or "injury prone" in regards to fitz is one of those things that only said because it's been repeated so much. 100+ games started and he has only missed time due to a broken leg in 2014 and half a game with a thumb last year. No soft tissue injuries ever. He has more in common with Brett Favre than Sam Bradford when it comes to injury history. Hope you're well, Glenn.
