Patriot Killa Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So let's say Fitz plays the remainder of the season. He is 32.. How much longer could he game manage for us? needless If that plays out, we can safely assume Geno is done as a Jet. Is Petty ready to go? Do we draft one of the top QB's and let Petty and said QB battle it out? Where do we go from next season on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownJetFan Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fitz looks like he can be more than just a game manager for us. The 43 yard pass to Owasu and the TD pass to Decker can attest to that. I never saw Sachez make passes like that who is a true game manager QB type. They key with Fitz is him staying healthy. If he does, let him play as long as we see we are progressing/winning with him at the helm or until Petty is ready to start. Geno probably won't start again for us unless Fitz gets hurt or we start losing where it is clearly from the play of the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john461167 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fitz plays two seasons. Geno gone. Draft QB. Petty and new guy duke it out for back-up/heir apparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 People have WAY more confidence in Fitz than is remotely warranted based on previous his previous history. I think it is very unlikely he starts the season for any of many reasons and Geno will get his shot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is very unlikely he starts the season for any of many reasons and Geno will get his shot.. Maybe the Browns or Texans or some CFL team. Fortunately not with the Jets. Fitzpatrick, Petty, an offseason vet and a 2016 drafted QB will compete for the QB job next offseason Geno will get his exit ticket punched in January Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deucebag Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Unless Fitz gets injured, I doubt Geno ever takes a snap in a game for the Jets again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Do we have a franchise QB, no. There are only half a dozen of those on the planet so that is not a shocker. Is our QB situation looking better than it has in some time, yes. Fitz just might be the game manager were been asking all during the Rex era. Petty gets to sit and learn which once again we've all been asking for. Geno is the wild card. He apparently was outplaying a leg weary Fitz during preseason. Maybe Gaily saves his career as a starter or maybe not, the jury is still out. He's still a credible backup QB so unless those wheels come off the tracks he's not being released by the FO any time soon. BTW, when was the last time we had a credible backup, never.

kelticwizard Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Geno is the wild card. He apparently was outplaying a leg weary Fitz during preseason. Maybe Gaily saves his career as a starter or maybe not, the jury is still out. That's it. We don't know if Geno gets another shot or not. The coach has said that Fitz is the QB as long as the Jets are winning games and the offense is doing all right, so that's that. My guess is that Geno likely gets in there at some point, but if we're headed for an 11-5 or 10-6 season under Fitz, then Geno probably doesn't get in there.

slats Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The coaching staff was impressed enough with Petty's early development that they felt comfortable not carrying a veteran backup for the time that Geno remains sidelined. That tells me a lot. I expect him to challenge for the starting job next year. I hope Fitz sticks around for a few years in a backup/mentor role. He's an asset in that capacity. I think some conclusions are being drawn from a week one game against a team that will probably be in the running for the first pick in the draft next year. Jets had a ton of takeaways, one of which turned Fitz's own interception (a bad pass) into a positive play for the team. The defense isn't going to force a fumble and knock the other team's starting QB out of the game just before he crosses the goal line every week. The rest of the team enabled him to sit back and manage the game. That's not going to be enough most weeks. Also think it's way too early to completely write Geno off. He was their #1 QB from the moment the new regime took over the team, right up until IK connected with his jaw. They still may want to see him under center.

southparkcpa Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 ONE GAME..ONE GAME and you guys are anointing Fitz. We have short memories. After 3 games, we thought Sanchez was Drew Brees. Lets get to week 8. Remember, Fitz was 5-0 with the Bills a few years back. Yes..the no playoff Bills. Lets beat Indy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of this except the timeline for Petty. I am thinking me may need two years seasoning before he is ready and that leaves the front office with some decisions about how to structure the depth chart for next year. All of this assuming we stay relatively healthy from here on in at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fitz plays two seasons. Geno gone. Draft QB. Petty and new guy duke it out for back-up/heir apparent. This would be ideal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionCA Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 next year will be a good year for QB's in the draft Cook , Hogan ,Hackenberg , maybe Kessler from USC , Geoff from CAL , some of the Ohio St. QB's nor sure about eligibility but there will some good ones i think they should draft a QB first or 2nd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we could have resigned favre so sanchez could have gotten a better chance to develop before being thrown out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
