jfmckenna Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm not sure why the Smith Fans don't seem to get what is going on. It was just a few weeks ago that some were thinking/wondering/hoping that the FO was going to turn the team over to Smith instead of Fitz. Instead of that the FO gave Fitz $12 mil, made him the starter, and precluded Smith from having that role. Then Smith Fans hoped/expected that Smith's supposed solid play with a red shirt on meant not only that he would be the clear backup, but would "likely" be able to take the field at some point. The whole four Qb's on the roster scenario has also been explored, and may still happen, but at a cost. Smith Fans have also supposedly understood the assertion that he likely will not be on the team next year, along with the related situations of Petty and Hackenburg as the future of the team. Yet when others here see Smith perform worse than Petty, those who draw the logical conclusion that the time has more than come to move on from Smith are called haters. I find that hard to understand. There are a small minority of fans who are desperate to see a QB like Geno succeed, despite his obvious lack of skill and limited mental capacity. As Geno continues to fail, they cannot accept that it is his fault. They think outside influences must be to blame. They blame the media, the coaching staff, the GM, the other players on the team and you, the logical, knowledgeable football fan. Weird, isn't it?

bgivs21 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 After reading the the training camp thread from today it wouldn't seem like Petty was. Smith got 23 reps, Petty 10. Maybe after the dress rehersal game on Saturday against the giants it will change & the competition will really heat up? I hope so, Geno was given the opportunity to seize the backup spot & it seems, from the outside anyway, that he played himself out of it & Petty played well enough to put some doubt in the coaches minds.

And it's really unlike some past controversies here. I was not a Sanchez fan, but at least you had to give him credit for being the starter for teams that went deep into the playoffs. The only thing Smith Fans can point to is two games against the fish in season enders when their players were thinking more about their golf games than anything else.

Despite having to sift through hundreds of ridiculous posts, many of which are borderline racist, a couple guys try and take the high road wondering aloud why these pesky Geno lovers just don't get it. Never mind that they've proven nothing, been right about nothing, and know nothing. I trust the coaches and gm to make the call on who the #2 will be. Hopefully they aren't sensitive to this witch hunt that's been going as of late. I don't think Bowels is going to give a sh-t if a lot of your panties get in a bunch when he makes the call that's right for the team. Wow this was quite the condescending post.

Smashmouth Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This IS a competition for the back up QB. The Jets are smartly shooting this down for the most part as to not create a circus of media idiots blowing sh*t out of proportion and constantly bugging players and coaches. The Jets do not want to keep 4 QB's, no one does, roster spots are too important . IMO Petty is winning and all he has to do to win is show he can be a competent back up because no matter how you slice it if we have to go to a back up due to a Fitz Injury this season will be lost anyway. I think Geno will be cut unless Petty totally sh*ts the bed forcing the possibility of keeping 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont think being impressive vs. nobodies means much and it really shouldnt. I'd be surprised, though not shocked if Petty unseats Geno. Mac went at this offseason like he's looking to win now caving to Fitz and signing an aging RB in Forte. He also drafted 2 players in the first 2 rounds not penciled as starters. To me, that screams that this GM believes last years roster can be better than last year. That said, typically when a team is operating like they're playoff bound (which is what I would say this team is doing), then you'd want an experienced back up in case your old injury/turnover prone QB gets hurt or flops. Not a kid who's never taken a single meaningful snap in the NFL but plays well vs. nobodies. Just my 2 cents, could be completely wrong and I wouldnt be shocked, just surprised. He may be going against nobodies but he's playing with nobodies as well its all relevant when the competition is basically the same. If you have a starter coming at you or a tomato can if they are applying pressure and you step up into that pressure its all the same. Its not like Petty was throwing to wide open players he threw into some tight coverage and made some damn nice throws Geno playing with the 2's simply didn't produce anything.

Tons of factors go into evaluating a QB.

The one that is least valued is how a QB looks in a preseason game vs. players who will not be wearing helmets and pads in 2 weeks.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This was Geno's time to, in his own words, "audition" to other NFL teams. Since he clearly won't be getting a chance to sniff the field in a meaningful game, this was his opportunity to make such an "audition", and he failed. So, yeah, no one should be able to argue this was "meaningless" for Geno. Meanwhile, there are things Petty is doing that CAN be evaluated. When he makes crisp throws, it doesn't matter how bad the defender is or who he is throwing to. A good throw is a good throw. When he one-hops a receiver, that's another instance that CAN be evaluated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
