SoFlaJets Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 It's not like there's a bunch of options out there. No matter who the get they're going to suck. They need at least one warm body though Mick, maybe two Jets QB is TBA with Fitzpatrick, Smith dealing with injuries By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.Published: Yesterday New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (14) has his left hand looked at during the first half of an NFL football game against the Oakland Raiders in Oakland, Calif., Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015. (AP Photo/Ben Margot) NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Jets will have someone lined up at quarterback by the time they play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Todd Bowles just isn't sure who right now. Ryan Fitzpatrick has at least one torn ligament in his left thumb and Geno Smith is dealing with a badly bruised left shoulder, leaving the Jets' quarterback situation in disarray. That means rookie Bryce Petty or perhaps someone not even on the team's roster as of Monday night could start the Jets' next game. "The guys are pretty sore," Bowles said of Fitzpatrick and Smith. "I'll have a better feel come Wednesday." That's when the Jets (4-3) next hit the practice field. With the NFL's trade deadline on Tuesday rapidly approaching, there's a possibility New York could add some help at quarterback via a deal or free agent signing. "Yeah," Bowles said during a conference call, "we're looking at everything right now." Both quarterbacks, hurt in Sunday's loss at Oakland, have a chance to play Sunday at home against Jacksonville, depending on how they heal during the week. "I really think they're both in the same boat right now," Bowles said. In the meantime, Bowles acknowledged that Petty will get snaps with the starters at practice, and he confirmed that re-signing Matt Flynn is a possibility after he spent time with the Jets in training camp. An MRI exam Monday on Fitzpatrick's thumb revealed a torn ligament that will need surgery. Bowles said Fitzpatrick could potentially put it off until the offseason depending on his pain tolerance. While it's not his throwing hand, Fitzpatrick could still face some challenges with handling the football if he plays. "You can't just live in the shotgun," Bowles said. "You have to be able to take snaps under center, as well as be able to hand the ball off both ways." Fitzpatrick was hurt on the first drive of the Jets' 34-20 loss when he scrambled for 12 yards and was tackled by Charles Woodson. He had his thumb taped and remained on the sideline as Smith took over - until he, too, was injured. Smith suffered what Bowles called "a big bruise" likely after taking a hard shot to the shoulder from David Amerson at the end of a 29-yard run down the sideline early in the fourth quarter. He remained in the game before coming out briefly - with Fitzpatrick coming back in - later in the quarter when he was hit in the abdomen by Ray-Ray Anderson. "I thought in both cases, they both should've slid," Bowles said. "We've got to be smarter than that for the good of the team, but you can't fault the competitiveness. We've just got to be a lot smarter." Bowles said the Jets probably could bring in another quarterback as late as Wednesday morning to get that player up to speed on the offense before practice. Fitzpatrick took over as the starting quarterback in early August when Smith had his jaw broken by a punch from then-teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali in the locker room. Acquired in a trade with Houston in the offseason, Fitzpatrick developed a rapport with wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker while providing a calming veteran presence for the offense. Fitzpatrick has thrown for 1,518 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. In his first action of the season in relief of Fitzpatrick on Sunday, Smith was 27 of 42 for 265 yards with two touchdowns and a pick. He also led the Jets with 34 yards rushing on two carries. "I don't think it was that damaging (to the offense)," Bowles said of Fitzpatrick being sidelined, "because Geno has played in games and he's a starting-caliber quarterback, and I thought he did some good things." Bowles is drawing off his experience in Arizona last season, when he was the defensive coordinator and the Cardinals lost starting quarterback Carson Palmer and backup Drew Stanton before having to turn to third-stringer Ryan Lindley. "I've kind of been through it," Bowles said. "We just have to rally as a team and not put so much weight on that position. We've got to play better everywhere else." NOTES: WR Brandon Marshall has toe and ankle injuries that he played through Sunday. Bowles said both are "real sore" and he isn't sure if Marshall will play against the Jaguars. "It's too early to tell right now," he said. "We'll have to see how the week progresses for him." ... C Nick Mangold missed just the fourth game of his 10-year career with a neck injury, and Bowles is uncertain whether he'll play Sunday. Bowles thought Wesley Johnson did a "decent" job filling in.

If Blackout has taught us anything, it's not only that "Colin Kaepernick is not about that life," but he is most certainly not, "someone real."

UnknownJetFan Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Jets have probably already re-signed Flynn and have not yet announced it. They probably inquired trades for Glennon, Daniels, etc. and the prices were too high. It is not worth giving those teams 1st-3rd round draft choices that will more than likely make us no better. That just impacts us for next year for no good reason other then to have one of those guys you trade for guide us to 7-8 wins or less. We actually have a better chance with Geno/Petty since they know the playbook pretty well. Also, even with that tandem we might just need them to hold the fort a few games and maybe Fitz can come back and be hopefully pretty effective. A lot is up in the air right now. We should know more soon like can Fitz snap the ball and grip it, and can Geno comfortably practice/play with his deep shoulder bruise, and finally can Petty take snaps in practice and appear to be able to run the huddle at this stage of his development.

shuler82 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 weird that the QB updates have been so vague. I thought it might be due to the jets trying to make a deal, but the trade deadline has come and past, and still no real update on what's going on with either QB. 'May have torn ligaments' 'bruised shoulder' 'sore ribs' .. maybe they're pulling a Rex and trying to catch that juggernaut Jax team off guard!

I'd guess they're at least 60/40 on either Geno or Fitz being able to play. Otherwise giving a "Flynn" an extra day to prep would've been the smart route. Guess we'll find out tomorrow who can practice. I'd figure Geno has the better chance to play. While Sunday sucked, even if Geno had been put in at the bye, I still expected some growing pains. At least Sunday gave Geno reps and also had the defense absolutely suck. Bound to happen at some point. Hopefully come this Sunday, the D is ready to roll, Marshall and Mangold can play and Geno has worked off the cobwebs. He didn't look that bad considering the situation.

I think fitz is going to have surgery and probably basically done. he is a huge fumble/botched snap risk with the left thumb deal. give geno a week of practice and lets see what gailey can cook up for him. its a shame smith is hurt, you can see gailey giving geno a ton of short 1/2 field reads, then a PA bomb to smith to loosen up the box I have to imagine gaileys plan for fitz is very different than geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though injuries may affect the game plan even more than the QB. Hope it doesn't happen, but if Mangold and now Marshall are out with Ivory and Decker banged up... ha, it'd be like a cruel joke on Geno. Like yeah, this season's offense is better than last year's, but we just want to make ya feel comfortable and give you what ya had to work with last season.

Integrity28 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm sure they pushed it right to the deadline holding their position on what they saw players that are already rostered being worth. While also being careful not to let sh*t leak, so it doesn't turn into a media debacle. Now, since nobody they trade for or sign is going to be ready in time to start Sunday, they can prep as though Geno or Petty will start, and bring in a veteran and give him 2 weeks to learn what he can. I would guess teams tried to put the screws to us, given that we had no negotiation leverage under the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No QB acquired on Tuesday night is going to start on the following Sunday. Some of you fellas need to get a grip. Kaep just lost his ******* job to Blaine Gabbert. Go look at some footage of Kaep playing this year and last, then explain why we should give up draft picks to tether this team's rebuild to a QB that makes the same stupid mistakes Geno does, but comes with a huge contract. Better to roll with what we've got. Even if it means starting Petty and hoping that Ivory, Stacy and Ridley can run the ball 55 times. This defense should NEVER look like they have the past 5 quarters again. We can hide the QB for a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
