Charlie Brown Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks. I think that it is impressive that these guys did this. It does say how much Fitz is respected in that locker room and the Jets have weigh that respect in terms of monetary value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowlesMovement Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Obviously these guys know nothing about football if they want that scrub Fitzpatrick back, who is a below average QB. They need to learn the game like our resident experts have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 We should totally make these 3 guys the co-GMs. For the record, the Jets have made an offer to Fitzpatrick, and it's either the highest offer or the only offer he's received. He turned it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolot Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Marshall is a 30 something WR trying to pad his stats for an eventual HOF candidacy, he doesn't have the Jets long term thoughts in his head at all, I really don't care what he thinks , neither should our front office .

I wouldn't say that's his primary motivation. More that there aren't a lot of established WRs, on a veteran team, who would choose breaking in a raw rookie QB over bringing back the veteran with whom they just had resurgent seasons. But it is a window into why it is absurd to take the "cut everybody except QBs who have never played an NFL game yet to see if they don't suck" and keep doing that every year. Crazy I know, but the players are actual people who are actually playing, using up their youth, and risking injury. They're not names on a video game screen that allows resets and do-overs.

Agreed , I zeroed in on Marshall but to your point there's not one WR in the league who wants to play with any rookie QB, I remember Steve Smith going into diva mode when cam newton got drafted....fans and obviously front office should understand that.

FidelioJet Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's all PR nonsense. If they wanted Fitz to come back they pick up a phone or fly to his house and sit down with him. To me it's childish and does nothing to help the Jets organization except cause more problems for our second year GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall is like the girl in school that actually believes the 20 guys who told her they love her so they could get in her pants. He's a slut.

kmnj Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 marshall talks up anybody he thinks might be throwing him the ball remember his lovefest for cutler? him moving in with Geno? soon I hope we can hear him saying how much he loves hoyer and it is nice to have a qb that can throw the deep ball again to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that these guys don't know as much football as the board GM's, but they should know something, right? I don't think he's hot garbage. But I also think there's about a zero chance of him duplicating the season he had last year. It was an easy schedule and he had a career year. The schedule and the D's he's facing are going to be a lot tougher. I also don't think Geno could ever put up the year Fitz did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainejet Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Fitz is our best option. With that said, Fitz will return to earth this season almost guaranteed. He will never duplicate the success he had last season, and that great season as we are referring to it as never resulted in the playoffs. It is what it is for the time being. NO QB we draft is ready to start day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Marshall and Decker know that Maccagnan doesn't screw around and in about 24 hrs. they will be offering a contract to Hoyer and Fitz better pick up the phone or start making his retirement plans. Mac will not be played with....Mo knows it, Kerley and Cro know it...... he's given a lot of rope already, there's no more to give. Marshall/Decker know it and this is their last attempt to get Fitz back. Fitz is OTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and Decker is a white WR. Which means there's a good chance he will one day be on NE's payroll. If he isn't already on their under-the-table payroll.

So that's likely at least $9M already, maybe even $10M, and they are still not anywhere near close. Fitz apparently still wants $18M with a 2 year guarantee. There's simply no basis right now to say he'd take $10M for 1 year other than your wanting it to be so. Plus it's too much for him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to learn the game like our resident experts have. and the five teams that dumped the scrub ... possibly six. Quote Marshall has been very vocal with his desire for the Jets to re-sign Fitzpatrick, but Bowles said Marshall’s view plays no role in the team’s decision-making. “Honestly, I love Brandon to death and he’s a good player,” Bowles said. “That’s all I can tell you. He doesn’t factor in making the decisions on this team.” “My son wants certain things too that his dad says no to,” Bowles said with a laugh. “It really doesn’t matter.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
