On Monday, Bowles will name a starting QB, who will it be?

[Maxman]

Just to clarify, for your vote....I am not asking who YOU think he will pick. I am asking who TODD BOWLES will pick.

[peebag]

Bryce Petty - if not I'm finding a deer rifle.

[southparkcpa]

We're gonna trade for Mark Sanchez.  NYJUNC will have an orgasm.

[August]

Bryce Petty

Yup. And I doubt he delivers a win. He will have decent stats, but the Jets will lose in two ways. 1 - In the standings and 2 - The coaches won't have this game to evaluate Petty, although I am not sure I want THIS staff evaluating ANYONE.

It will be Fitz. Woody knows we have zero chance to win with Petty and is already pissed he lost his primetime game due to the poor level of play on the field. Since Fitz is what Bowles wants anyways he will gladly comply and we will lose the game by 3 td's. 

[Beerfish]

So many naive people, it will be Fitz.

I'm hopeful we're past this point now.  Lets say that's true.  The expectation would have to be that we go 9-7 and at least one of the Raiders, Chiefs, and Broncos, could only win 1 more game this season (2 if tiebreakers go our way), and then we'd also need to pass the Dolphins and Bills, the two out of the Bengals, Steelers, and Ravens, and two of Texans, Titans, and Colts.  We'd also have to pass the Chargers.

At this point, even if we win out, I'm not even sure what the path to the playoffs would look like.

It's time to play Petty.

If Bowles plays Fitz he should be fired.

Forget 'best chance to win'.

Forget the theories that Bryce isn't in their future plans (and Fitz is?)

Nothing to be gained by trotting out a 12 year vet who's in the midst of one of this worst seasons. Bowles needs to see this. Woody needs to see this. It's time to start looking towards 2017

I searched online, but I cannot find any playoff generator (beginning this week) to see if it's even possible for the Jets to be in if they win out, which, they won't.  As you say, time to start looking towards 2017.

Well, clearly we're not.  What's the point of waiting till Monday if we're past this point?

[ScarletKnight89]

I support Bowles but I would be pretty disappointed in him if he went back to Fitz at this point. That's a big mistake if he does. It accomplishes nothing at this point.

[JoJoTownsell1]

If we had an intelligent and secure head coach the answer would be obvious. Unfortunately, we have neither. 

[Warfish]

It has to be Petty at 3-7.  So I voted Petty.

Starting Fitz is a fireable offense now.

[CotcheryifyouCan]

if he starts fitz he is a dead man walking. 

[Jetdawgg]

Petty. No other choice

[TJ]

No idea who this jerk will name,  he might do the right thing by mistake and name Petty.

Where is the "Eff Bowles" option in this poll?

[Bleedin Green]

I'm guessing it will be Fitz, even though I really don't want it to be.

For all of those convinced that doing so would get him fired, you have to remember that it won't come down to our own personal point of views, but rather Woody's.  Don't doubt for a moment the very real possibility that part of Bowles' motivation could be going with the decision that would most please his boss about the $12M that was spent.

A midseason firing isn't happening and whether fans like it or not, something as simple as a late season rally will be more than enough to secure Bowles' job for another year.

[FidelioJet]

There's simply too much media/fan pressure to start Petty....And we know Woody cares about the media first and team success second..

 

(That's not to say starting Petty isn't the right choice - but simply that the media pressure is on to start Petty, so Woody will make sure they do.)

[win4ever]

I voted Fitz mainly because I think Bowles is an idiot this season.  He supported Fitz as the starter, when he wasn't even on the team.   

I really hope it's Petty because I would love to see him play more, and at least be able to determine if he has a future here.  We know with Fitz, and he won't be here next year (or any other team at this pace) so might as well get a look at Petty.  Doesn't matter who we start, we're not beating Brady, so go with the youngster.  

[Joe W. Namath]

Rex, mangini, herm etc. you always had fans for and against.

is there anyone for bowles at this point?  The guy is epically bad.  I cant remember thd last time a coach was hated this much.

[thshadow]

Is it any consolation that after we lose this week, we'll be officially eliminated (presumably), and then he *has* to start Petty, right?

So we'd still get 5 more games of Petty...

[jetfan39]

the person that gives us the best chance to win is petty.  maybe not the game against the pats, but to win the off season because we will have a better idea of what we have in petty.

Agree we have no choice but to audition Petty for 2 more games and then Hack for the final 3 so we know where we stand at the QB position going into the offseason we might not a have an NFL worthy QB on the roster. 

[Larz]

didn't he say before the rams game fitz was the starter ?  I don't think petty changed his mind, so I think bowles names fitz

Tank...

[Barkus]

It will be fitzgarbage, almost certainly. Toilet is too gutless and clueless to go with petty. Fitz will start until team loses 9th game, maybe after upcoming 8th loss vs pats and fitzgarbage throws more than one pick in the game.

Due to the AFCW I personally think we are already eliminated.  I can't see any of those 3 teams in the west losing 5 of 7 games left.  I can't see any reason Bowles can't just admit that like the Browns have already.  Play for the future and just freaking admit it already.

[Ohio State NY Jets fan]

I hate the decision but think he picks Fitz

 

2 weeks to prepare for a new offense under Petty wasted

[Kleckineau]

Choosing Fitz over Petty will only serve to answer any questions remaining regarding his anemic intellect. 

[FTL Jet Fan]

Bowles will name Fitz as it should be Petty for the rest of the season. So I chose Fitz due to Bowles logic. They want this win against the Pats and in their mind it's Fitz who will give them the best chance. We know it should be Petty to see what this kid can do under the pressure of a prime time game against the Pats.
