The Knicks are propping up a guy that's about to be found guilty of gang rape and Rutgers is having one of the most embarrassing seasons in college football history. 2016 is a cruel mistress. And the Rose debacle sounds like a money grab if you look at the evidence... it was his old GF that was into multiple partners... And the Rangers are killing it.

ScarletKnight89 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm not sure how I feel about this. Feels like a panic move. But the team is 1-5 and Fitz isn't our future. So it's hard to argue this move. Geno is going to get one last chance with some talent around him to show what he can do. I'd give him 2 games and then go to Petty if he doesn't look good.

Adoni Beast Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 If Petty never got hurt he'd be starting by now. They're just waiting for Petty to heal up, get back in game shape, etc. It would be a mistake to put Petty into his first game ever after an injury and not being ready. Give Geno a few games and then move on to Petty once Geno crashes and burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning they really never wanted to play Geno. At the same time, Fitz has been so bad the move had to be made. No Bowles was not going into the season with 2 backup QBs with no NFL experience.

Do you want this team to win a Superbowl? I do. In order to do that we need to find a QB. Fitz starting does not do that. Hell, Geno starting does not do that. But once this team hits 7 or 8 losses I think Petty comes in. Petty playing could do that. If they want to give Hack a couple starts at the end of the season, Hack playing could do that. If NONE of the QB's on our roster look promising, playing Petty and Hack likely leads to a very high draft pick. That draft pick could win us a Superbowl. End of story.

There's no way Bowles could trot Fitzpatrick out there again even if he did say Fitz was the starter right after the game. Who cares honestly? The season is lost. Give Geno 2 or 3 games and if he fails then go with Petty and Hack for the rest of the season. There's absolutely no reason why Fitz should ever play QB for the Jets again! Woody is paying Fitz $12M and is well aware of the hatred the fan base has towards Geno. Why would he intervene and tell the coaching staff to start him?

David Harris Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Between Gino, Patty, and Hackenburg-I agree that Geno gives the Jets the best chance to win. But frankly now that we are out of the playoffs even the coach should care less about that then the 2017 picture. Gina won't be on the squad next year, so what is the point of this?Do you know was on this team in case fits got hurt or we were still in the competition and fits wasn't doing well. Now that we are dumpster fire the only thing anybody should care about is the future. There are 10 games of priceless reps that we are going to piss away to Geno- we can't even lose correctly.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaching staff would never start a child that throws tantrums in games and if they would I hope that Mikey Mac fires him... It is unacceptable the crying on the sidelines... and for that fact the coaches never would have changed without Woody stepping in. Woody stepping in shows that the Jets are again an embarrassing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to the people who blame all our problems on Fitz rather than the front offices that never find us a franchise QB. At least Fitz was likable and had some balls. Pennington was neither, and sucked just as much as Fitz has ever sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one on this team is performing. You can't sit everyone. Sitting the QB is the only move, even if it's a lateral one. That said, I'll be doing something other than watching the Jets this weekend. I don't need to relive the horrors of 2013 and 2014. Okay but for me, I will be there at the stadium watching the Jets win.

PepPep Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Everybody is saying this is a Woody move. Well, GOOD! This move should have been made after the Chiefs game. It should not take a push from ownership to have an awful QB benched. It doesn't matter if Geno is bad. Fitz has been AWFUL and has not been able to do anything on offense. It's the coaches responsibility to bench him and go to the #2. Anyone who said the Jets never intended to play Geno are wrong. That makes absolutely no sense. Why waste a roster spot on him then. Bowles has simply been way too stubborn to bench Fitz, and it all came to a head in Arizona, when, once again, Fitz was playing awful and Bowles refused to put Geno in, causing Geno to explode on the sideline- rightfully so. I think Bowles may have just wanted to stick with Fitz for the first 6 games b/c they are so tough. He probably felt that Fitz gave him the 'best chance to win' against these tough opponents. But at some point you HAVE to realize that its not working. Unless the Jets keep losing, which I doubt, I think Geno will get at least the next 4 games as a starter- going into the bye. Then, they can re-evaluate. But to be honest, if he wins 2-3 of the next 4, he will be the starter until the Jets are mathematically eliminated and its time to see what the Jets have in Petty and Hack.
