Greenseed4 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 People change. So what if he sold sandwiches for Subway his rookie year. Back then his fans were all about it. I like his strong arm, and mobility. If he could learn to avoid the big hit instead of instigating it he would be money. Maybe having a supporting cast (in Marshall, Decker, Forte, and dare I say Gresham) he won't feel the need to improvise with his legs; could be a great great signing.

JetsFanatic Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I don't understand why any Jets fan wouldn't want RG 3? He will not command a big contract, it's a hugh reward small risk move. What if actually turns into the franchise QB this team craves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throws off his back foot, doesn't stay in the pocket, holds the ball too long and doesn't have great accuracy and short. Does have a strong arm, has speed. If it's a 1 yr. show me deal I'm all for it. Come to camp and compete. Even below avg. QB's can start on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Would be a great get. We wouldn't have to hang the franchise on his back, or even put Fitzy on call-block; Getting him signed to a modest deal makes us more competitive than we were yesterday.

Part of the reason Fitz hasn't made the playoffs is that he has been mired on horrible teams.

Having three young QBs that can legit stretch the field is more exciting for me than watching Fitz double-hitch a 50 yarder--making Marshall come back for the ball. We need that element (the occasional deep-shot) to take this offense to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the guy actually had a second year in this offense and was given an opportunity at some continuity good things might happen? It wasn't just poor play though. It was poor decision making; and I don't mean with the ball...with his body. The kid puts himself in danger, kinda like one Ryan Fitzpatrick, and having the contract that he had made it a liability to let him run around on the field. I saw him re-enter a game he almost got killed in to do the same stupid stuff. He was reckless. Gruden told him to cut it out, and he didn't. Because of that he put his team in jeopardy, and put the team in a position where if he got seriously injured they would be on the hook for the final (expensive) years of his contract. So he was pulled. It's my understanding that his not-playing (2015) was a purely financial decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYBE Fitz would improve with continuity. All he has to do is sign the contract before him. Apparently he doesn't like the offer so the Jets need to cover they ass, and start looking for options.

Joejet Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I have seen the Fitz 10-5 for 2015 a number of times when in reality he was 10-6 as a starter. He started the Oakland game and as such is the starter of record. I like Fitz but it's not fair to Geno to hang the loss on him when he was not the starter.

Shockwave Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So many complaints about a 26 year old with top 5 upside who will come cheap......... Im extremely happy with this GM and FO. They clearly have a very specific plan and grades and dont give an F what others think. Signing RG3 for half the price of Fitz with 10x the upside would be brilliant. Not to mention Rg3 was cut so we would end up with a 3rd round comp in the switch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So before the jets expressed interest on Friday, when no one was interested on Thursday, RGIII talked up LA. And the NYDN decided it meant something and published this. Horrible paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
