Freemanm Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You can't get the whole article without subscribing, and it won't let me cut and paste. http://www.wsj.com/articles/jets-say-theyre-sticking-with-ryan-fitzpatrick-1476830961?ru=yahoo?mod=yahoo_itp&yptr=yahoo Essentially, Bowles and Co. don't care anymore about even having a shot at winning, or are simply too incompetent to see that sh*tzpatrick is no longer the guy. I will not pay to watch them if this is their attitude. Seriously, I've been a fan for nearly 40 years (since I was six) and this is getting close to the last straw. If Fitz is starting again this weekend, it tells me that management simply doesn't care anymore, so why should I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It has to be a one or two week thing, until Petty is ready to take over. They are ready to move on from Geno and don't want to risk him doing well. So they will go to Petty once he is ready, he just got back. The funny thing is the boo's will be LOUD on Sunday. They might have to introduce the special teams coming out of the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsplayer21 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's ok.. he will be on a VERY short leash from now on. Let's see how well he does under pressure, because if he has a bad 1st half he is on the bench to start the 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still want to win games, and petty is much more of a long shot than geno.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really doesn't make sense to me that he wouldn't get the start this week. Not sure what else we have to see for Fitz to get benched full time.

MattSt Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Would like to see Geno this week and once they have 7,8 losses turn the keys over to Petty (and probably Hack week 16 and 17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Not surprising. At all. This Bowles we're talking about -- who treats all forms of change like unstable plutonium. It's 100% consistent with his coaching to give Fitz another start, with a shorter leash. Starting Geno or anyone else, is far to knee-jerk in the eyes of Toddie B.

Sure he is a long shot but gailey believes he is a much better option than geno and they have to win games to save themselves .. If he does as bad or anywhere near as bad as fitz they will put petty in for few games end of season.. If they don't give geno a shot and he catches on somewhere next yr and somehow does good, Mac and Bowles are going to be fired on the spot by woody..

Back to the original point, how do you look at Fitz's performance this season and somehow NOT conclude that he should be benched?? Is Bowles and the FO really that incompetent? In the case of Suckchez, I actually knew Rex really was that incompetent, but I thought Bowles had some sort of IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdawgg Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Fitz retired last offseason. These guys don't get it if Fitz starts. Only the Jets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles has shown that time and time again. Punting the ball in Pitt with 7 mins to go in that situation should tell you all you need to know how much of a incompetent coward Todd Bowles is. The fact he defending the decision after when every expert agreed it was such a terrible call, means he is a stubborn incompetent coward.. I don't think fitz should start, he will likely find a way to just play good enough not to get benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfan39 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 what I don't understand is where he got his information from. during his conference call, bowles said no decision would be made until after he met with his staff and mac. this story came out at 6:49 pm and i don't think their meeting was over that quick and they called this guy to tell him who was starting. something smells fishy in Denmark.

pdxgreen Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I can't see a situation where Macc doesn't sit down with Bowles and have a hard chat. If we send Fitz out there again it's basically like saying, "we've given up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxAF Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 How much stinkage does a QB have to have to get the hook. I Put up stats on his play in another post but 2.3 points in the 2nd half in the last 3 games. Averaging 5 points on the season in 2nd half. Red zone %, INT/TD ratio. I could go on but most know the numbers. How can any HC with a 1-5 record stick with a QB that has for the most part contributed to these results? And if your D is out there 3/4s of the game. They're gassed. Plus we are the only team in the NFL carrying 4 QBs. Not like we don't have options. WTF!!!! Bowles has blown me and the Jets season out of the water. Fuk!n unbelievable.

I like Geno too, I thought he showed heart in the two seasons he was thrown out there with an undermanned offense, but the fact is that the big rap against him was that he was a turnover machine. We hoped he would mature past that. So they put him in with a just a few minutes left and what happens? He fumbles on one play, (recovered by the Jets), and gets intercepted. This is his fourth year, he's no longer a young QB, he's a veteran now. Hate to say this, I just think Geno just blew his opportunity to get back to starting right there. Now they're waiting a couple of weeks for Petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a story based on the old info Bowles told reporters after the game and not the updated news that Bowles is reconsidering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeacon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I doubt we will see any change till after the bye, and even then if I doubt any qb change will occur if TB continues on the same mantra he has done his entire time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised at all if Fitzpatrick starts this week. But it's time for him to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkus Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Expected decision if true. Toilet is clueless and gutless. I won't watch another jets game in it's entirety as long as fitzgarbage is qb. To be honest I'd rather watch the pats so I can at least see some good entertaining football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
