JetBlue Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 I don't know about projecting, but I think everyone is clouded by their own perceptions. It it my opinion they are ready to move on. Can't explain it. They do some funny things, like having all 3 QBs active. But, it could be that they were willing to give Geno the benefit of the doubt, and then the fight, the silly post after the fight, and playing catch with the neighborhood kid was too much. It could also be that, after the fight, they saw the way the team/locker room didn't get Geno's back was a sign that he didn't have the leadership. There have been rumors that the Jets tried to move around to get another QB before the draft. Clearly they, like many fans, are not sold on Geno or Fitz. Maybe before this last mess, they were leaning towards Geno. Maybe now they are not. Fitz is the 'savy' veteran, not the future for the team, but can contribute as a back up for a bit. If Geno isn't the guy, he has no place here. Again, this is my opinion clouded by own perspective (like everyone else). I haven't 'made up my mind', but many on this site I don't see him getting better. Fortunately, nothing I say here will effect the FO or coaching staff, so if I am projecting, it won't end anybody's career.... Fair enough.

sourceworx Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have nothing against Geno. I just don't think he's a great player, that's all. If he gets another shot as the starter, I'd absolutely love it if he proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Is that really an important quality for an NFL QB? Fitzpatrick needs a strong game this week to retain his job, IMO. He needs to be more productive, and he has to cut back on the turnovers - which was the one thing he was supposed to bring to the position. Gailey had a long history with Fitz before this season, and yet Geno was his guy here seemingly from the moment he got the job. If Geno is healthy and up to speed, I don't think he's gonna hesitate to recommend making a change at QB. And the bye week is the perfect time for such a change. I think the amount of time he is given may give us a true read on how they really feel about Smith. I still think the team would need to be under .500, maybe two games under .500 and with bad QB play before a change gets made. At this point we are over .500 with inconsistent QB play.

(CBSNewYork/AP) — Ryan Fitzpatrick has been in this spot many times throughout his NFL career. The veteran quarterback is the backup, not the New York Jets’ projected starter right now. That label belongs to Geno Smith, who’s coming off two shaky seasons. ADVERTISING Fitzpatrick is fine with that for now. He knows things can change, just as they did for him in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Tennessee and Houston — all stops in which he became his team’s starting quarterback. “That’s kind of been a lot of my career, not necessarily being the guy right away and having to step in, and not having there be any sort of drop-off,” Fitzpatrick said after practice Wednesday. “That’s something that I pride myself on: Whether I’m the Day 1 starter or I’m the third-string guy, when I go in there, I’m going to be ready to be able to execute.” The Jets are counting on that, just in case Smith fails to show he’s “the guy.” Smith will go into training camp next month as the No. 1 quarterback on the depth chart, and it’s up to him to remain there. “You don’t go into camp having two first-team guys,” coach Todd Bowles said. “Geno’s the first-team quarterback. It’s Ryan’s job to take it, and it’s Geno’s job to (not) lose it. If he doesn’t lose it, and Ryan doesn’t take it, he’s the starter.” Smith has been inconsistent during his first two seasons, with glimmers of solid play overshadowed at times by glaring mistakes that have led to him being benched. He has 25 touchdown passes and an eye-popping 34 interceptions, with some opponents saying he stares down his receivers. With new offensive coordinator Chan Gailey in the fold, his spread tendencies seem to play into Smith’s strengths. New general manager also added some playmakers on offense, trading for wide receiver Brandon Marshall and running back Zac Stacy, signing running back Stevan Ridley and adding depth to the offensive line. As guard Willie Colon said during an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday, the Jets “bought the Porsche, we’ve given (Smith) the keys, he can’t crash it.” Bowles downplayed Colon’s comments, saying that he didn’t think the lineman was being overly critical of Smith, but added that he prefers a player not say anything about a teammate if they have nothing good to say. “I don’t know what kind of car we have yet,” Bowles said, smiling. “We’re still building it. There’s a lot of parts to be determined in that.” Starting with the quarterback, of course. Fitzpatrick is 32 and hardly the future of the franchise. But, he could very well be the quarterback when Week 1 rolls around. “With Coach Bowles, the thing that he’s made clear to everybody in this locker room is, you’re going to have to earn your spot,” Fitzpatrick said. Fitzpatrick looked good Wednesday, zipping tight spirals around the field and lofting a pretty TD pass of about 50 yards to Eric Decker for a touchdown during 7-on-7 drills. Not bad for a guy who had his season end prematurely last December when he broke his left leg during a game. “At this point, I’m feeling pretty good,” Fitzpatrick said. “There’s still treatments and daily soreness and stuff like that.” On a long scramble during practice, Fitzpatrick showed no signs of tentativeness. He’s expected to be fully ready for the start of training camp. “Everything’s on track right now,” he said. Bowles likes what he has seen from Fitzpatrick, calling him “a pretty sharp guy” who has a good understanding of the offense despite being limited in the offseason. That’s to be expected, of course, from a Harvard grad. The physical improvement has been a big positive, though. “His arm’s a little stronger and he’s getting healthier,” Bowles said. “Obviously still knocking the rust off a little bit.” Fitzpatrick’s familiarity with Gailey’s offense was a major reason the Jets traded for him in March, giving them a veteran with success in the league. Last year with the Texans, Fitzpatrick threw for 2,483 yards with 17 touchdowns — including a franchise-record six against Tennessee last November — and just eight interceptions, and a career-best 95.3 passer rating in 12 games as the starter. “This being my sixth different team and really sixth or seventh or eighth different situation that I’ve been in, in terms of being a No. 4 or a 3 or a 2 or a 1 (on the depth chart), I know I’ve got to be ready,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’m always going to be ready, no matter what is said or what is not said. That’s kind of my approach.” (TM and © Copyright 2015 CBS Radio Inc. and its relevant subsidiaries. CBS RADIO and EYE Logo TM and Copyright 2015 CBS Broadcasting Inc. Used under license.

JetBlue Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Not sure. Fact new HC/GM went ASAP out after hiring and got Vet QB with system knowledge and drafted a 4th Rd QB tells me they think he wasn't long term answer. I could be wrong, but seems they want Petty as 2016 or latest 2017 QB. Why would that surprise you when we only had one qb with any experience on the roster and he had only played 2 years? We traded a 7th round pick for Fitz and drafted Petty in the 4th round. Don't you think you are reading a little too much into that? It tells me that they weren't sold on Geno but realized he was the best option they had for 2015 and if he didn't improve at least they had a proven vet they could turn to and also have a young guy sitting and learning on the sidelines who could be ready in a year or two.

Warfish Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I think the amount of time he is given may give us a true read on how they really feel about Smith. I still think the team would need to be under .500, maybe two games under .500 and with bad QB play before a change gets made. At this point we are over .500 with inconsistent QB play. If Smith comes in, he's not going to be taken out this year. Bank on that, once Fitz is out, he's out, for good (barring injury, of course).

Understood but the topic under discussion was what circumstances might trigger a switch from Fitzpatrick to Geno Smith. Slats seems to feel that it might happen as soon as Game 5 and I think Fitzpatrick is safe right now even with another poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
