BallinPB Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hate to start a new thread but i want everyones opinion. If Fitz stinks up next game and Genos named the starter for the rest of the year, are you confident in him going into next season if he has good games just like he ended last season or are you still ready to move on? This is all barring a punch to the jaw in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all barring a punch to the jaw in training camp. If he plays well, of course. He'll need a game or two to get rollin' though. Bigger question is if anyone would have confidence in Bowles? I know I would. Confident he'd be a fu@kin idiot if he waited 'til the season was over before switching back to our starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallinPB Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 fitz will have to be killed maimed, kidnapped or vaporized for bowles to play geno i dont agree. If youre playing crappy the only reason i see sticking with a QB is if he is a young one in need of experience. Theres absolutely no reason why Fitz should stay in if he keeps playing like crap.

CrazyCarl40 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 How well is well? Geno would have to play lights out for 5 weeks in order to be relevant next season. I just don't get a sense that this administration has any faith in the guy. If Geno manages to still even be on the team next season, it'll be as a backup to either Petty or someone else. His days as a Jets starting QB are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Bowles was pretty upset with Devin Smith after the game. If he catches the two passes that were in his hands, Fitz has another 100 yards, a TD and possibly a tie game going to OT instead of a loss. This could be a big reason for Bowles sticking with an injured Fitz despite the poor stat line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant wait Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 fitz will have to be killed maimed, kidnapped or vaporized for bowles to play geno like it or not geno smith is still an asset for the jets. He doesn't have very much value right now but it's in the jets best interest to boost the value as much as they can, even if they plan on getting rid of him at least you may have some trade value there. They aren't going to go down with fitz if he continues to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4jets Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 fitz will have to be killed maimed, kidnapped or vaporized for bowles to play geno That's unfortunately true but for different reasons than you're inferring.

Bowles knows this Please explain why we need to give a chance to an over the hill bet that has never ever had a winning record as opposed to a 3rd year QB that had clearly outplayed him the entire offseason?

fltflo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 What will be most sad is, IF, Geno gets into a grove and plays well, yes I know, it seems impossible, but it could happen. We must remember that Geno has never been given a chance to really get going with the starters since his stupid mouth got him a broken jaw.

FidelioJet Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Next man up should be Petty. Geno isn't here next year. we don't know anything about Petty. The last mention of him by the coaching staff (that I've heard) was pre-season, when they said he needed a lot of work. Petty is a 4th round project - him panning out is a major long shot.

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Earth to Geno, you put yourself in that situation. Kid just doesn't get it. Time to move on for both parties. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/57752/jets-geno-smith-wants-opportunity-to-compete-for-starting-job-in-2016 Jets' Geno Smith wants opportunity to compete for starting job in 2016 1:40 PM ETColin Stephenson 0Shares Email print comment FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith said he learned a lot, became a better quarterback and is "appreciative of everything that's happened" this year, which he spent serving as the backup to Ryan Fitzpatrick. That doesn't mean he wants to do it again. Standing in the Jets' locker room Monday, the day after the season ended abruptly for the Jets with their 22-17 loss to their former coach Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills, Smith said he wants a chance to be a starting quarterback again next season. "I'm extremely competitive. I was put in a tough situation this year; I think I did my best to handle it in the best way possible," Smith said. "And being that I didn't play, it probably was the first time I hadn't played in -- ever since I was about 8 years old. So I want to be out there. We all do. "But I use things for motivation; that's due to my fire. And everything that I went through, everything that's been said, I listen to, I hear it, and I use it." Smith was the Jets' starting quarterback in each of his first two NFL seasons and was on schedule to start again this year before he suffered a broken jaw during training camp, when he was punched by then-teammate IK Enemkpali. Fitzpatrick took over as the quarterback at that point, played well, and Smith never got a chance to reclaim the starting role. Fitzpatrick, 33, set a Jets franchise record with 31 touchdown passes. Smith, 25, played in just one game, a loss in Oakland on Nov. 1. Fitzpatrick was injured on the first series and Smith took over, going 27-for-42 for 265 yards, two scoring passes and an interception. Smith said he has no regrets about his part in the training-camp incident that led to him losing his starting job. But now he is hoping the slate will be wiped clean next season and he'll get a chance to again compete for the starting job. He remains under contract to the Jets, so if they decide to re-sign Fitzpatrick Smith might find himself stuck in a backup role next season -- something he didn't want to speculate on. "It's still early," he said. "We're still coming off a bad loss from yesterday, so we've got to let things play out and see how it goes. No one knows what will happen; no one can predict the future." Asked if he would prefer to be in a situation where he would have a fair chance to earn the starting spot, Smith said yes. "Of course, yeah. We all do," he said. "I think that's why we play football -- to be out there and compete. So I guess if you're saying I don't have that opportunity here, I don't believe that. We don't know what's going to transpire, we don't know what's going to happen. We have to see. We have to all wait and see." Then he was asked if he would ask the Jets to trade or release him if they didn't plan on giving him a chance to compete for the starting job. "That's a very hypothetical question," Smith said. "I don't really know the answer to that question. I haven't done it yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Geno Smith deserves a chance to start somewhere ever since he lost his starting job he didnt cause any issues on this team like him or hate him truth is truth.

The Troll Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Geno Smith deserves a chance to start somewhere ever since he lost his starting job he didnt cause any issues on this team like him or hate him truth is truth. Good luck Geno Smith here there or anywhere, Geno doesn't DESERVE jack sh*t. I wanted him as the starter this year because there is no long term future with Fitzpatrick. Is there with Geno? I doubt it, but he is young enough to turn it around. But to say he DESERVES it? No way. He has to EARN it.
