I sign Kap and hope with coaching and scheme that we not only strike gold, but hit the mother-lode. I still can't believe so many guys think Fitz has more to give. I don't. I don't think Fitz can get much better than what he did last year. But last year's performance was pretty damn good. Call me crazy but if he plays at his best and we make good decisions with the roster, we're a contender. Kaep has a higher ceiling because of his athletic ability, but that ceiling hasn't been on display for a while. Meanwhile, his floor is reeeealllly low. You're enamored with 2012 Kaep, but if he never catches that lightning in the bottle again, then Fitz is clearly the better option. And yes, I understand Fitz is not the best we should hope for. Which is why I'm advocating taking the best possible QB in this year's draft in the hopes of solidifying our long-term future at the position.

SoFlaJets Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 barring serious injury Fitzpatrick at 33 has a good 5 years left at which time Petty will have had plenty of time to learn behind the best and smartest QB this team has had in a generation.

All those guys have one thing in common: They have not played in one playoff game. Yeah, I know Kap went into the tank after his Super Bowl performance. But IMO he has all the tools to be a monster QB. Maybe the tools in SF caused Kap to regress. But I would give him a shot to be our QB in a heart beat. If he bombs? Fine, we're going nowhere with the QBs we have on the roster anyway. But the upside is enormous. Are you suggesting that a QB that wins 8 games and makes the playoffs has done a better job than a QB that won 10 games, but missed the playoffs due to a tiebreaker?

Are you advocating trading draft picks and allocating cap space we don't have to Kaep? Because that's the only way this happens. The 49ers will either trade him, wait to cut him on May 31, or keep him. Just realized I meant "Mar 31" here. Too late to edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way do I take on that contract that SanFran gave him. It would keep us from keeping some of our top talent elsewhere. If Kaep didn't work out you basically set the franchise back for years. The only way I'd take a chance on him is if he were a free agent, and they could sign him to a modest contract. Otherwise let someone else take that risk.

At first it did make perfect sense; Kaepernick wants to start and win. Jets are a playoff-ready team with a playoff-unready QB, a six-team 11-year playoff-virgin dilettante that avoids the postseason like it's Ebola. The story was either a rubber-Bigfoot-suit-in-a-freezer stunt by Mehta or everyone's now in anti-tampering damage control mode and where there's smoke there's fire.

You mean check his Pennington-esque personal stats in a game he lost? He not only finished the first half with three straight 3 & Outs, but he failed to finish a 1st & Goal at the NE4 and a 1st & 10 at the NE15. That's 8 points left on the field right there. Jets lost 30-23 ... the only stat that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then want to take credit away for the win. But never seem to do that for games we lost, never want to change losses with a bad bounce from being a win and credit us for it.

TuscanyTile2 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 First it was reported he wanted to play for the Jets. Then we get posts saying it was untrue. Then it was "I don't want to play for the Jets". Now he's saying the Jets kill adorable, innocent little puppies that hurt nobody and just want to give love back to their human owners. This situation has really deteriorated rapidly. "Same old Jets" I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
