JetBlue Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 ESPN NY's Don LaGreca seems to think so. I know a whole bunch of folks will disagree with this; I just hope that, if it turns out to be true, we don't have an overload on the suicide hotline. There is going to be a whole lot of wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth.

Integrity28 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Tinfoil hat engaged. The Fitz dance would have been a good PR dance to do to satiate fans and veteran players who prefer Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell41 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'll say this......if this is in fact the truth and Geno pans out playing well this season, our FO has to be one of the smartest in the league. If it doesn't pan out they will feel the heat, but at the same time they will have their Hackenburg card to play.

So you can't give him the benefit of the doubt based on everything else he has done the last few seasons because of the dreaded Geno... lol. Don't worry it is mere speculation anyway.

Fibonacci Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 We are not winning the Superbowl with Fitz or Geno. Fitz might bring one or two extra wins but I really don't care at this point. I prefer to trust Bowles and Mac who know football way more than me. I am cool with whatever they decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike135 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 If Don is correct: Some of us here should sue him for plagiarism. We've been saying it for months. I will have more confidence in this organization than I ever have. Not saying we'd win it all this year; instead that we have great decision makers who can not only judge talent correctly, but know how to play the PR game well. Great times will be ahead of us. I'll go out on a limb and say we will be a playoff team this season. Geno will get an extension. Geno will also be the Fantasy QB sleeper of the season.

What's funny about this is that the majority of people around here don't think that this is even a playoff team and that they will win at most six to eight games. So why not see what Geno can do and see if he has indeed improved and matured? If they're only going to win 6-8 games there is zero risk in doing this. People are constantly complaining around here that the Jets don't develop their own players and give up too early on their draft picks. Here's a perfect situation to see if Geno has developed.

rex-n-effect Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I don't think Geno was the plan as much as Geno was definitely not the plan, either. I do not believe Fitzpatrick was brought in to seriously compete for the starter role. My thought is that the plan was for Gailey and Fitzpatrick to develop a young QB for the team. If Geno was that guy, great. If not then he could be a cheap bridge to finding and developing the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 drafting Petty and Hack and signing Fitz before last season all point to a front office that has zero faith in Geno Smith.

So far, they've basically done everything they can to avoid this outcome. Not really. Fitz was signed as a back up; Petty was a drafted as project qb and to a lesser degree so was Hack although his upside is much higher. Geno was inherited by this regime and they were prepared to see what he could do with an improved offensive attack but alas they never got to see it as a result of the "Punch". A year later, and season of watching from the sidelines, he finds himself in a similar position. He is going into training camp as the starter.

Fitz is a journeyman quarterback who has been on what 6 or 7 teams and until last year never won more than 6 games. Do you really think he is head and shoulders better than Geno? Based on what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, they've basically done everything they can to avoid this outcome. Speculation along the lines referred to by the OP would not exist if Fitz was under contract. So does that mean the fact that he is not supports a CT that they really want Smith? Part of the problem in answering that is that people tend to think the FO proceeds with all its decisions in a rational manner. But we have seen plenty of screw ups by them over the years. So it is entirely possible the FO is not doing everything in a rational manner here. Yet the facts you point to hardly indicate faith in Smith, and cannot jibe with a notion that the FO prefers Smith over any reasonable alternative.

CrazyCarl40 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 If this was the plan all along, and I'm a veteran on this team, I would not be pleased in the least bit. It's basically throwing way a year of their football lives, which is a limited commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but he is on the team nevertheless and throwaway pick or not; he could still develop into a decent quarterback, maybe even more than that if a team is patient enough with him. Geno has one year left on his contract, you take a quarterback because you need a quarterback just in case you decide not to re-sign Smih and also if you really like the player, which they did, so it made perfect sense to draft Hackenberg.

MaxAF Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Fitz is smart and experienced but doesn't have the abilities of a young QB. Has a noodle arm. He was good last year because he had weapons Geno never had. Smith should be more mature, has young legs and a good arm. The question is does he have a QB head to make good decisions. Looks like we may find out. Personally I think Fit will cave and sign but he doesn't deserve anymore money than what's on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
