T0mShane Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Two things: 1. It'd be pretty awesome and ballsy and non-Jets-like to pull the QB today, and I'd give Bowles all the credit in the world for doing the right thing. 2. I'm not sure Bowles will be ready for the fallout from doing so, and I'll be interested to see how he keeps the team together when all the hacks like Mehta are relentlessly pushing a QB controversy.

Heres the thing Shane, Marshall and Decker are both injured they arent there to bail Fitz out the rookie WRs can fly Fitz cant deliver the long ball stay tuned. Heres my story and I'm sticking to it.

This is the other thing: Marshall and Decker loveeeeeee Fitz. Marshall has been a space cadet all year. There's no guarantee he'll stay on board if/when Fitz finds his way to the bench.

CrazyCarl40 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 You don't sign Fitz and hand him the job for him to be on a short leash week 4. But also I think Fitz plays well enough today that there isn't even going to be a chance of a QB switch and no one here should be hoping for that either. That said, I wish Petty was healthy so that if he was, the Jets could evaluate a QB that could have a future here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTL Jet Fan Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Rightfully so, let Geno use his legs and then stretch the field with Our speed guys. Hopefully no 20-30 yard sacks or any sacks in the end zone. I don't have that much faith in Geno but I am sure as he'll pulling for him to surprise us all.

Lith Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-gameday/0ap3000000713071/Rapoport-Fitzpatrick-on-short-leash-against-Seahawks Link is to video with Rapoport's comments. He is kind of noncommittal on the whole thing. First 30 seconds -- If he has disastrous start Fitz may get pulled Second 30 seconds -- Fits still has confidence of Jets brass.

JetPotato Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 1) I highly doubt Rappaport has any legitimate insight to Bowles' thinking. More guessing disguised as reporting. 2) With Petty hurt, nothing to be excited about even if true. Fitz blows. Geno blows harder. They're both well knowns, and thats awful. At least Petty is an unknown. 3) How sad is it that "unknown" is the best we can hope for at this QB position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Fitz should be on a short leash, but the QB who should replace him is inactive. Replacing Fitz with Geno is a waste of time. You're better off direct-snapping to the running back every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about salary. Salary doesn't and shouldn't factor into the decision. They should just play the QB that gives the team the best chance to win. Which is what they're doing.

Not only would pulling a struggling QB show me Bowles is conscious, but it would finally show me he may actually have a pair. But in all honesty, after last week, if Fitz struggles, it would be more of a desire to win to pull him than it would be balls IMO. Just wondering what the vibe on the team actually is..They have to be $hitting a brick going against that defense today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinstar Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 What exactly are some celebrating here ? Do we really want to lose another game just to be proven right ? Here's a question for Jet fans to consider . Is it possible that regardless of what is said about the Patriots, they continue to win because their fans stand behind them collectively as a base ? A house divided will always stand strong . Is that not true ? That is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now even the calm faced coach is seeing what the rest of the league knows. Fitz is a bad prototype of a journeyman. In journeymen terms he is below average. A winning percentage of below .2 when facing teams at .500. This is no endorsement of Geno BTW. THAT is what this fan base screamed to sign. Embarrassing.

That is all It's good news because it means Bowles may not just stand there on the sideline doing nothing as one guy single-handedly loses the game. It gives the fans and more importantly, the players confidence Bowles is trying to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
