Jet Nut Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 It's an internet discussion, Bub. I state my opinion then you state yours. If you are looking for footnotes, go to the library. there's a reply that really makes sense. Because you still don't have a clue what Geno would look like this season with these players, these coaches and another year of experience. And no answer other than you have an opinion. So do I and others who disagree with you. Too sensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 16 pages arguing about one journeyman QB and a sh*tty turnover machine. I'd say it's high time we let it die and just watch the game Sunday morning. Regardless of the result there will undoubtedly be 2 straight weeks of this stupid debate to continue.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 how come fitz wasn't able to win the starting job if he's so much better? I've stopped caring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The thing that I think everybody is missing is that you don't need to see a player in games to know how he will perform. I mean, we do, but the coaching staff and front office don't. They watch them in practice and they have a pretty good idea what will happen in a game. It's a nice topic for 20+ pages of silly debate, but the idea that the coaching staff should pull Fitzpatrick so they can "see what they have in Geno" is misguided. I'm not saying that we should trust the coaches, but we don't have a say in what gets done. They should decide who they think gives the better chance to win. They had ******* A-One better know what they have before they let him start. He has been practicing for a week, missed the entire preseason and is in a new system. Even if it were Bowles intention to go back to Geno from the start, it would make sense to wait until after the bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 lol. ALL evidence says Fitz is better. Every available metric but wins and losses says Fitz has been better and will likely continue to be better (Geno is also 12-20, mind you). Geno was the 38th ranked QB last year. 38th. Fitz has at least been ranked 22nd every single season the last 6 years. History most definitely says he's better. I love how you jump on the guy for one bad 3-INT game. Meanwhile, Geno once had a game where he threw 3 picks....IN A QUARTER. And if we improve to 3-1, early signs will suggest the W-L record argument was dumb too. No evidence proves any of his. you should watch the SNY recap of the game and watch hem pick apart the horrid passes, the poor decisions and weak arm flutter balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Why are you so angry all the time? never, ever angry. Now dispute any of what's written there. Go for it, numbers aren't angry. Neither are the facts. You shouldn't call win loss arguments for a QB dumb on the same page calling someone angry for listing stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sackdance Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 No evidence proves any of his. you should watch the SNY recap of the game and watch hem pick apart the horrid passes, the poor decisions and weak arm flutter balls General consensus in the football community was the Jets were bringing an improvement to the quarterback position. The Jets were not the only team Fitz could have gone to. And, once more, there isn't a team in the NFL that would trade a bag of footballs for Geno. Why? Because "maybe he's good" translates into "he's no good". The NFL, like any business, is risk averse. Only amongst a cadre of diehard Jets fan is Geno the downfield wunderkind weaponsmith.

Because "maybe he's good" translates into "he's no good". The NFL, like any business, is risk averse. Only amongst a cadre of diehard Jets fan is Geno the downfield wunderkind weaponsmith. Guess the football community forgot to tell Bowles and Gailey who had Geno as their starter. Or just about every EWSPN/NFLN/media talking head who named Geno the starter and Fitz the backup. Don't know who the community you're talking about is. Or where Fitz could have gone. He was signed and told he was the backup. If, someone wanted him to start, he would have singed there. But hey, you know that Geno couldn't go for a bag of balls but cling to the idea that Fitz would. Youre right, maybe he;s good means nothing. Other than its better than he's not good, on any level, right now which is what we've seen from Fitz so far. And I do admire the tried and true, when you can't make a point, over exaggerate what supporters like about a change, a player, coach etc.. Because the list of people who have called Geno the downfield wunderkind weaponsmith is long and deep. As opposed to someone who is supporting 3 pass completions over 20 yards in 20 attempts as if that should leave anyone making fun of Geno. Because thats plain embarrassing and ignores the point that Geno is a better down field passer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be calling to bench the QB when we go 3-1, right? Because Fitz sucks and there's nothing he will do in London, not since we know who he is based on the past 10 years? I would look into what it might take to cut Fitz outright and then write Bowles/Mac a letter, let them know of your grievances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets need to pile up losses before the "switch to another option". I soured hard on Geno after rookie season. And I was resigned to the fact that he was going to be our starter going into the preseason. However, had he led the Jets to a 2-1 and fairly promising prospects leading into the first divisional game in London vs. Dolphins, I would be a flaming dicksack to call for Fitz to come off the bench and take over the reins.

Does it occur to you that waiting until the team is under .500 while we're watching poor QB play just because makes no sense. That to stick with your backup with the starter healthy on the bench makes no sense on any level. You've got it backwards, this isnt a case of going from the starter to the backup. . The dicksack part of the equation is not considering a switch when the QB has struggled all season. Or discussing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then Geno had to go "Geno" everything up by pissing off IK and missing all of the pre-season games and first 2 games. What makes you think he would step in, with zero game experience with this team, and do better? To suggest the Jets should bench Fitz for Geno after starting 2-1 is flat out idiotic.
