UnitedWhofans Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Todd Bowles has no backbone and this shows it. He gave in to media and public pressure and pressure from the owner. MIke Francesa said this would happen and that this has been a constant problem for the Jets for YEARS. Even with Hess as an owner. They fly by the seat of their pants and move with the wind.

KRL Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Amazing how Fitzpatrick apologists are still trying to spin his awful performance. Give it up, last year was an aberration and he's now showing his true colors. You can still like him because of his beard, wearing his wedding ring when playing and going to Harvard but he still stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Schroy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I can live with this, FOR NOW. I wanted Petty, but evidently his injury was worse then the CS lead on. I don't expect much different from Geno, from what we have seen before. However, Petty should move up to number 2, so he can get Reps. Bowles should be asked about that now. Also, before this season is over we should see Hack as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it will happen. Fitz already starred in that movie. Try writing something original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Jets looked at him as a potential backup going into the season. But he didn't show enough to get that job. So they kept Geno. I don;t see what' so wring with that. I don't see why its surprising. I don't disagree if Petty didn't show enough to warrant the backup job then the Jets should go with the best players. But I think you're missing the point, I think the Jets believed Petty did do enough to warrant the backup job in preseason but unfortunately got hurt. Considering they have no interest in putting Hack on the field this year they kept Geno as the backup. Geno is now playing because Fitz has been abysmal and Petty hasn't practiced in over a month forcing the Jets hand. The plan has changed, Geno will get his shot and if in 3 or 4 games he stinks they go to Petty now that he's healthy and practicing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thshadow Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm a little bit confused as to how *anyone* can be unhappy with this move. - I'm pretty sure there's no one left who wants Fitz to continue playing - Anyone that wants Geno to play - got their wish - Anyone that wants Petty to play - you're delusional if you think Bowles would go from Fitz to Petty. So, by going with Geno now, you're one step closer to having Petty out there. So it's a win/win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradis Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Sometimes I really hate being a Jet fan. Like today. Well, there's a lot of yard work to do this weekend. Let me know when Petty is starting. You're a jets fan? Fck off. There's the door. Plenty of bandwagon franchises will welcome condoms like you.

Pac Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I don't see any downside to this move at all.. either we start winning - which is the only way Geno keeps playing - or he crashes and we get Petty in a couple weeks. Either way we should hopefully avoid ever having to see Fitz put his entire body and soul into a 20 yard out, and still watch it bounce off the turf in front of the waiting receiver. Happy days indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 At least there was a decision made early in the week so geno can prepare with the 1's. Was worried they were going to waffle with this till Friday. Fitz had to be sit, I was a Fitz supporter and his leadership skills are great, his performance on the field could not be defended. I tried and realized I was wrong. Fitz had to be sit. Feel bad for him but Fitz did this to himself. He played himself out of a job. Now we get back on the Geno Coaster and need to follow an inmature kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Geno isn't saving our defense or our season. Geno is now officially the bridge to Petty, as well as the bridge to continue our path towards the # 1 pick. Nothing more, nothing less. Gonna be an interesting/telling draft this year for Macc. He'll be under the microscope with major QB questions... Unlikely we're worse off than CLE and honestly there's no franchise QB this year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they win 2-3 games before the season ends. I believe they can beat Cincy this week, for instance, even on the road. Question is whether we'll tank properly or not, for once. This team has the talent to go 4-6 in the final 10 games. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's significantly more interesting to me who will be QB2 for the game. It should be Petty if he's healthy and Fitz as an "injured" scratch. That's the kind of good decision making that sets teams apart from each other.
