He is much much better than Geno Smith however and that's where the article falls flat on it's ass. i loved the line about them both being turnover prone but Geno has a better arm thus he's a better alternative. I think Geno would've done better honestly with the weapons we have. Geno never had any good weapons around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geno love here is baffling to me. No matter what happens with the Jets QB situation in 2016, Geno Smith will NOT be a viable option. It would be career suicide for the GM and coach to hang their hat on Geno Smith, and that is why retreads like McCown and Hoyer, and disappointments like Kaepernick and RG3 are all in play. This is telling us that the management team would rather have just about anyone else play QB for the Jets in 2016 other than Geno Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper (before further injuries, roster changes, or unexpectedly bad play), compared to last year our matchups this season look nothing short of brutal. Last year's ended up being far easier than it looked to be on April 1, but the Jets never get that lucky twice in a row, and I think it's giving many a false sense of security in continuing a trend of improvement: it's unlikely we'd have won 10 games - maybe not 8 games - if we played our 2016 opponents last year. The 2 differently-scheduled opponents, based on the prior year's record, look like a bigger opponent-upgrade than usual. That's on top of opponents that couldn't possibly be as bad as last year, even if they still aren't necessarily good (Miami x2, Colts, Baltimore, SF). As of today, though, Cleveland looks like they'll be every bit as bad as 2015 though, lol. Depending on how the schedule lays out in the first half of the season, it isn't at all far-fetched to see us 3-5 or even 2-6 at the midway point. So I'd say no matter who ends up as the starter to open the season, even if we re-sign Fitzpatrick, the #2 (or maybe the #3) shouldn't get too comfortable holding a clipboard. There is no alternate world where Geno is successful as much as all you Jets fans say. He is just not average and will be just like Sanchez for his entire NFL career whether you accept it or not. You guys probably think Sanchez is going to do something in Denver? I assure you Sanchez is not even a game manager so stop dreaming. I guess a few more years of reality will dig into that stubbornness. Geno does not have leadership skills regardless of what you think. No other QB in the history of the NFL has gotten his jaw broken by his own player. You can blame Ike for that all you want. Ge-no did not earn e respect required for a QB or team captain. There is nothing more Geno has not shown about his game. His game is weak and always will be!!! The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the first part is true (which is debatable at worst), the second part isn't. If Fitz doesn't come back you can't go Geno, Petty, Rookie. There would be a mutiny and people would stop showing up about 7 weeks into the season. No one wants to watch a terrible team in cold months in New York. Not an ideal situation. They would and should bring in a vet to compete if Fitz is done with the Jets. That's an easy assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen enough "smaller school" guys like Big Ben, Romo, McNair and Flacco pan out, that honestly I am not too concerned about it. The talent is there, the fundamentals are strong (pocket presence, accuracy, footwork, mechanics etc.), great intangibles. He didn't just beat the competition, he dominated them. We can't just sit and wait for another Luck or Winston to come around and hope that we're bad enough that year to draft a first round guy.

JetBlue Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 RG III contract with Browns hurts Jets' negotiating stance with Ryan Fitzpatrick 2:57 PM ET Rich CiminiESPN Staff Writer Email print comment A few quick thoughts on how the New York Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick are impacted by Robert Griffin III's decision to sign with the Cleveland Browns: 1. Well, the Jets can scratch Plan B off their contingency list. Or was it Plan C? Plan D? Even though the Jets met with Griffin on March 10 and 11, they never seemed serious about signing him. It was, as coach Todd Bowles called it, a "meet and greet." 2. Griffin's deal with the Browns -- a reported two years, $15 million, including $6.75 million guaranteed -- doesn't help the Jets, that's for sure. It's strengthens Fitzpatrick's negotiating position. His offer from the Jets is said to be in the Griffin ballpark, which is insulting. Fitzpatrick went 10-6 last season and threw 31 touchdowns; Griffin was active for only one game and didn't play a single snap. Are the Jets trying to run off Fitzpatrick? It sure seems like it. 3. Griffin's arrival means the Browns probably will cut or trade Josh McCown, who is due to make $4.375 million. As noted on Wednesday, the Jets see McCown, 36, as a potential replacement for Fitzpatrick. Add McCown to the list of seemingly expendable quarterbacks under contract, joining Colin Kaepernick, Mike Glennon and Brian Hoyer. 4. The next domino to fall could be Kaepernick. If he goes to the Denver Broncos, it'll leave Fitzpatrick without any suitors, hurting his leverage. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york-jets/post/_/id/59272/rg-iii-contract-with-browns-hurts-jets-negotiating-stance-with-fitz How on earth does this hurt the Jets leverage???
