The team hates him and sees zero future in him as being part of the long term plan, 'he's cheap' is simply not a good enough reason to keep him. With your backups the best scenario is having guys who you hope develop into a #1 in time, since Petty has had a year under his belt he steps into #2 and we draft another guy. Lol @ Petty being the #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if by some miracle Geno has any trade value then he is gone. I just hope RG3 or Kap don't determine our offseason moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problems seem to be created by the fans who hate him. Problem is he SUCKS. And yes the Jets won 10 games last year and he had NOTHING to do with those 10 wins but did lose a game which BTW cost us dearly. He was no darling on the Jet team as you make him out to be. No one came to his aid when Ik popped him in the jaw. He created his own problem, not the fans who cant stand him. The sooner this prima dona is gone, the better the team will be for it. Good ridden to another one of Idziot's (primary) blunders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He threw for more TDs than another QB in a single season and came within a hair of the most yards ever by a Jets QB. I'm always in favor of upgrades, if Mac brings in a better QB, great!

I'm sure they are both out of our price range but you have to admit signing either of these two would make for an interesting season. Neither would be as distasteful and stomach turning as Tebow or Vick. I'd still want Fitz to start and have one of these as the backup/starter in waiting. Relax thought, since IMHO there is <10% of signing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Geno, and don't particularly want him, but I just think that from the team's point of view the pragmatic thing to do is to let him compete for a job this summer - unless there really is an undercurrent of locker room problems that somehow didn't make their way to the local press. He's shown a couple flashes but, yeah, overall he's sucked. But you have to look at your alternatives - most of them suck, too. Geno only counts $1.6M against next year's cap, with $500k in dead money if he's cut. Are you gonna find a comparable replacement for that kind of money? Bottom rung guys like Whitehurst, Cassel, and Schaub make $2M/year. I don't see any of them as any great improvement, do you? My preference, and I think it's yours, too, is for the team to draft a QB in the first couple rounds this year. They do that, and Geno is almost certainly the odd man out. Which will be fine with me. But if they don't land a QB until the later rounds (if at all), then it makes sense to carry Geno at least thru training camp. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think low enough of Fitz that Geno gets to compete, I don't think they can justify what it will take to sign Fitz. Only chance Geno gets to compete is they don't bring Fitz back.

It's going to be a joyous occasion for the NYJ, and the fans for that matter, when he is finally gone. Cut him, trade him, Send him swimming down the Nile River with a foot ruler and require him to measure the entire length, just so long as he is no longer a JET!!!!! Suck a monster distraction the team won 10 games, should have made the playoffs and had the best offense they've had in the last 20 years.

I said this earlier, he tends to run after making these kinds of statements. Nowhere was it written, hinted that Geno was a problem. Anytime I saw him on the sideline he looked just like any other backup QB rooting the team on etc. The team was as tight as a team could be, seems like a really good lockerroom, everyone seems to really like being here. Yet because Geno isnt a starter anymore he needs to go. Because everyone knows your backup has to be a pro bowl starting caliber QB. Not, ugh, a backup.

Mainejet Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Do you guys even listen to what you're saying?? You honestly think problems with team harmony are going to be written about in the NY papers? Bowles more than likely gave the team the gag order some time after the incident back in preseason. Yet you guys seem to think the players are going to come right out and speak about their real feelings about the team, NY, the players? LOL What's obvious that came out of the altercation, was the fact that most of the players do not like Geno Smith. You can say what you want, but that is most certainly what I saw. Cutting Geno Smith frees them of having to deal with him any more. I know for a fact that Brian Winters has hated Geno Smith since the day he joined the Jets. I thought it was pretty obvious Revis didn't think much of Geno. I'd bet, truth be told, that MOST of the players would have some choice words for him if they were willing to speak freely. So if you guys want to keep the POS then have at it. But IMO that will not be the way this thing plays out. The Jets are going to resign Fitzpatrick, Petty will get promoted to 2nd string, MacCagnan drafts a QB to develop in the draft. Geno gets the boot but good. It's long overdue. And as to locker room chemistry? Team chemistry, team harmony all developed in SPITE of Geno Smith and certainly not because of him. With the aid of some new positive faces in the locker room like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Marshall, guys that led by example, certainly not some f*cking punk that beats up old men and gets knocked the f*ck out because he's a cheap prick.

As a matter of fact I do think he can be better than he was this season. This offense is still a work in progress. It is still not complete with weapons for Fitz to utilize. The Jets need at least one more WR, TE, one or more Olinemen, and I'd truly love for them to get another FB. The arrow is pointing straight up for Fitz. I do have very grave concerns about whether he can beat the Bills in Buffalo, but he also never had a full compliment of weapons. And here's the thing, all the additions that Mac might make will only help the team. If Fitz falls flat on his face in 2016 we still have Bryce Petty waiting in the wings and those weapons will aid him when he gets his chance. But for now, based on Fitz performance in 2015, the Jets should commit to him 100% for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what (other than optimistic delusion) leads you to believe he will be better next season. 10 out of 11 seasons he was an average to below average NFL QB who has never played one playoff game. He could have put that to an end week 17 against the Bills, but he laid a huge egg. Also, he won't be playing another soft schedule like last year and no way the weather will be as mild as it was in NY Oct-Dec as it was last year.
