32EBoozer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Trying to see if RG3 can handle his system. Chan came out of retirement to win a ring. I'm not sure that his affection for Fitz would override his desire to get to the Playoffs and win a ring. I'm sure he realizes Fitz can't take him there. Can RG3? Can Petty?Really sucks being in the position again... trying to find competent QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 If they're just doing their homework on him now than it's not a great thing. Everyone who pays any attention to the NFL know RG III was going to be available. As bad as the Jets QB situation has been, I would've expected them to start looking at him as soon as the season ended as opposed to the day he showed up.

True, but the whole Fitz thing blew up only last week. I think Mac assumed Fitz to be back. Now they need to plan as if he won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gailey feels the need to do this then that actually makes me feel comfortable about RG3 atleast from a speculatory perspective. I trust Chan Gailey.

Warfish Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 If RGIII is the second coming of someone, it's a hybrid of Jeff George/Ryan Leaf. He'd have to do alot to overcome that legacy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but even as much as I've supported Fitz and enjoyed watching an NFL QB for a change, I think we all knew they had to start looking to find a younger/long-term option. Either way, they may be looking at him, they may not. The fact that nobody else has had RGIII in for a visit and this is a two day stay...dude might be a Jet very soon.

When Chan was 1st hired by the Jets, there was an article by a Jets beat writer/blogger stating how much Chan was enjoying retirement but always felt he had some unfinished business. His wife was the one who convinced him to go for it. It was a nice story... one you don't hear too often. Most coaches are adreniline junkies and are fighting to stay in the league. Chan was very content but he and his wife decided to go for it 1 last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an "educated" guess. Wouldn't we all be pouring over tape to see why such a talented QB coming out of college who dazzled his rookie season just fell off a performance cliff? Can he be reclamated? Can we get this guy back to where he was and more importantly can we fit a system around him to help him succeed? Can he play in our existing system and take it up a level? All this before giving him a few mil/yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Whatever he did prior to the devasting knee injury would be pointless to look at. RG3 didnt become a bad qb because of his attitude, or his coaches, or the Redskins. RG3 cant play anymore because his knee is shot. He will never be the guy he was his rookie year. He cant play in this league anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 With Ryan Fitzpatrick still playing hard to get, the Jets have decided to court another quarterback: Robert Griffin III. Multiple sources told Newsday that the Jets hosted the former Redskins quarterback on a visit Friday that included dinner and an overnight stay. Latest Jets stories Sources: Beachum, Jenkins visit Jets Report: Jets inquire about Kaepernick Sources: Jets bring back Powell, get Robinson Harrison won’t let big money affect work ethic Report: Jets went after Vernon The Jets’ top priority remains re-signing Fitzpatrick, who had a career resurgence while throwing to Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker last season. But with the sides still unable to agree on a multiyear deal, the Jets are taking their time and exploring other options. Will they like what they see in Griffin? Once a bright star in Washington, he flamed out in recent years as questions about his leadership and mental toughness surfaced. The second overall pick in 2012, Griffin was the Offensive Rookie of the Year and a Pro Bowler before a knee injury and team discord derailed his promising career. He was released March 7. It is telling that the Jets would entertain Griffin despite their desire to reunite with Fitzpatrick. It also speaks volumes that Griffin’s trip to Florham Park wasn’t just an in-and-out meeting. The longer he spends in New Jersey, the less leverage Fitzpatrick may have. Fitzpatrick, 33, is coming off the best season of his 11-year career, throwing a franchise- record 31 touchdown passes and leading the Jets to a 10-6 record, their first winning season since 2010. Not surprisingly, he wants to be compensated like other starting quarterbacks (such as Brock Osweiler) who recently have signed deals, most in the range of $15 million to $18 million a year. The Jets’ offer to Fitzpatrick reportedly was similar to the deal the Eagles gave to backup Chase Daniel — three years, $21 million, with $10 million guaranteed. But after days of trying to negotiate, the Jets don’t appear willing to cave in to Fitzpatrick’s agent, Jimmy Sexton. Instead, they’re doing their due diligence with other quarterbacks. On Thursday, reports surfaced that the Jets, Browns and Broncos had discussed trades for 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. At the time, all three were desperate for quarterback help, but the Jets reportedly were the least aggressive. By Friday, Kaepernick reportedly had expressed a strong desire to play for Browns coach Hue Jackson and Broncos general manager John Elway announced that he had sent a 2017 conditional pick to Philadelphia for former Jet Mark Sanchez. Getting Fitzpatrick back in the fold — at a more team-friendly price — remains the Jets’ objective, but for now, they’ve turned their attention to Griffin, who could be an intriguing fit in offensive coordinator Chan Gailey’s spread system. Gailey, who became the Jets’ offensive coordinator last year, has a long history of adapting when it comes to his quarterbacks. Fitzpatrick experienced success playing in Buffalo from 2009-12, when Gailey was the Bills’ head coach, and was able to revive his career in Gailey’s quarterback-friendly system. Throughout his coaching career, Gailey has had success working with more athletic quarterbacks such as Kordell Stewart and Tyler Thigpen. Griffin brings arm strength and a level of quickness that the Jets wouldn’t have with Fitzpatrick behind center. But it remains to be seen if Griffin is mature enough to be a locker room leader again and if he can improve his pocket poise. The 26-year-old was benched twice by the Redskins in favor of Kirk Cousins, but he has an undeniable skill set that the Jets might find difficult to ignore. Along with Griffin, the Jets hosted several free agents Friday, according to various sources: offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum, defensive end Jarvis Jenkins, linebacker Shea McClellin, tight end Jermaine Gresham and wide receiver Rod Streater. The Jets are trying to work out a deal with Jenkins, but it is not done, a source said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
