Geno the # 2 QB vs Giants

[jetfan39]

Fritz will play alot and geno will be 2nd qb in as per todd's  press conference

[ljr]

Sounded like he committed entire 1st half to Fritz the cat ... Hope Geno is like 1 or 2 drives & then they move quickly to Petty in the 2nd half

[Larz]

and if they have a brain, petty mops up and hack watches

[ComfortablyNumb]

I really don't want to see anymore Geno. This blows. Petty deserves a shot with some decent players around him. 

 

[Villain The Foe]

Looking to see if Geno can put something together. Probably the last preseason game he plays. 

[Shadetree]

As much as I want petty w better players, ya gotta go w Geno here. It's the right call. Give the man his shot.

Pressures on Geno, not Petty. Genos got a lot on the line here and I think he'll press. I think Pettys gonna come out relaxed and slinging it.

[docdhc]

It would be nice if both Geno and Petty looked good, then maybe someone would give us a draft pick for Geno.

[MaxAF]

At this point Geno has to light it up. If he does this week and next week he'll seal it for #2. If we see more of the same and Petty does well this week. Might see a reversal next week.

[Bocajetfan]

Bowels is committed to Fitz as the starter. See nothing wrong in giving Geno every opportunity to secure the backup role, it should be his to lose and it is. We are talking about the backup if Petty becomes the man game 4 will be his prep time.

Disagree .  Wouldn't mind Petty being the backup this week, but , It's too late after this week.  Bryce is not getting the 2 spot if he lights up the Eagles third stringers

That's kind of what I was hoping.

[k-met57]

let Geno have his shot...at least he wont be able to say that he didnt get a chance when he sh*ts the bed and gets cut.

[greenwave81]

I'm sure this is Geno's last, or next to last at best call....step up or GTFO Geno.

I don't think I can handle another week of "the sky is falling because Bowles won't play Hackenberg" posts....but I agree.

it is our destiny.......

the 3rd game to me was always the game he had no shot of playing in.  I think hack gets to mop up in the 4th game, probably a full quarter.  Even if calamity strikes and fitz and geno are down during the season, hack will never play this year, they will sign a vet off the scrap heap, so it makes no sense to take reps away from petty

 

[RutgersJetFan]

Big test for Bowles here. Either he's playing it cool to avoid giving the reporters something to stew about or he's a fool.

Sure Bowles and Mac want to give Geno one last opportunity to prove himself.  If you've already made up your mind that Petty can handle the #2 (at least as well as Geno anyway to this point), what is Geno's purpose?  That is, he won't lose the #2 job only because Petty is playing better, rather that it is Petty playing better and Geno not showing any appreciable improvement.

 

Petty was drafted last year, a known project, and has made great strides in a year...IMO, he's already solidified his spot on the roster.  Hack's not going anywhere.  The media has always framed the Geno/Bryce issue as will they keep both, or will Petty be cut?  Personally I'm of the opinion that Petty was never getting cut, unless he made no appreciable progression over the last year; this is now known to not be an issue.

 

Geno on the other hand, to keep his roster spot IMO, had to clearly show he was better than Bryce; so much so that the Jets would not want to cut him...and that hasn't been the case to date.  Saturday is Geno's last opportunity.

Why not Fitz-Geno-Petty-Hack 4 quarters of football

3rd game is usually the game the '1st string' plays the majority of the snaps....kind of a last test run.  Some teams don't plat 1st stringers in the 4th PS game at all.

I'm curious on where you stand with geno now that you have watched him play a bit. I know it just preseason but has he changed your mind at all?

I don't understand.  So you think Geno is cut or is the #3 ?  Last opportunity to retain his # 2 spot? I would think, that you think, the most likely scenario is that Geno is cut .  

[AFJF]

Three possibilities IMO.

1) Geno is the no. 2, end of story.

2) Showcase Geno for a trade

3) Give Geno a shot to avoid being cut in favor of Petty

Which one is it?

 

[Joe Jets fan]

I have thought all along that Geno would get cut and I think he should, but it's not going to happen. 

 

If bowles is going to decide if Geno is cut by his play in the 2nd half of the snoopy bowl then he is an idiot.  He should know by now if any QB is getting cut, and if Geno was getting cut then the valuable reps would be going to Petty. 

 

Its one thing to keep a calm influence over the team and bring a good attitude but a completely different thing to manage who plays when and where. His game day managing was suspect last year but he was a rookie coach. For his sake I hope he is correct.

Agree on all points except the amount of playing time for game 4.  With the time he has missed, it wouldn't shock me at all to see him get the entire game or, at least, most of it.  Sit Fitz.  Maybe start the #2 for a drive or two. Give Hack the rest of the game.

4) Bowles is sick of everyone's sh*t and is just saying the things that will generate the least amount of harumphing.

He learned quick. He went Rex-minor with the Fitz statements at the end of the season and I don't think it's a coincidence he's been speaking in platitudes since.

And Bret Ratliff never got a chance. Just because you can beat up on 3rd and 4th stringers doesn't mean you can do the same against the starters.

If he's lights out, maybe they keep him..but if not, he's gone.

I love this line...so, if Geno has, you know, the 'mad experience' to justify his retention on the roster....

 

why has he done jacksh*t against other teams 2's?

I am going to lead the chorus of BOOOS from the mezzanine as I go try to find a Bryce Petty bobble head  for my cleaning woman.

I have no intention of sitting there and watching him suck.

A hot topic lately has been the Jets QB situation. It is well documented that there are four guys for what is traditionally three roster spots. Christian Hackenberg is basically a red shirt freshman, the team wants to bring him along slowly. Ryan Fitzpatrick is back one a one-year deal. That leaves the backup QB spot and it has been assumed the spot belonged to Geno Smith. The “competition” got interesting when Smith struggled against the Redskins and Petty had a very strong showing.

Todd Bowles put any doubt to rest on Wednesday, at least for right now Geno Smith is still the # 2 QB.

On the quarterback rotation on Saturday…

Obviously, I want (Ryan Fitzpatrick) to play quite a bit and depending on how the offense goes, it’s hard to get three quarterbacks in the second half. I’ll try to if everything goes right. In a perfect world, you want it. We really do want to try and get all of them in the game.

On if he knows who will be the second quarterback to play…

Yes, I do (laughter).

On if he will share which quarterback will appear second…

Geno (Smith).

On whether Bryce Petty will play…

It’s hard to get a gauge on the game. He played a lot last week and the week before. We’ve got to get our guys ready to play.

So they should have Petty playing in this game after Fitz, no?? Makes sense to me. Get him some valuable reps. Why play Geno?

Geno gets his shot? This is his 4th year. He's had 4 shots. And he's sucked through all of them. It makes no sense.  The guy is not coming back next season and he's a bad quarterback. I don't see the point.
