Flushing Roots Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I heard a guy on the Kay Show yesterday swear up and down that Petty will be the starter and will turn out to be a great QB. He went on to say Penn State messed up Hackenberg and McCown is not the answer. Of course this is only one guy's opinion and I only post this because this guy seemed cock-sure this was going to happen. I have no idea... Does anyone strongly share this opinion or vehemently disagree with it? I'd be curious to know what JN thinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 In the absence of evidence, optimism? lol, no. Petty is almost assuredly not going to be a great QB. He may start at some point late, after JAG gets hurt and before Hack gets his debut. But that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that pro personnel types can't succeed the majority of the time on player projections, makes me slightly less sure that fans can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you dig deeper into his game film instead of simply looking up stats you'll see he progressed greatly in reading defense and moving through his progressions. He made good choices a lot of the time even though the TD:INT ration says different. I like Petty and I do think he could be good..but I also think Hack can be great if things break correctly. This is what training camp is for. Petty could even squander his opportunity and I'd still think he has something good to offer...but in that case LOL...it just wouldn't be with the Jets.

RoadFan Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think this Hack hype is overlooking the fact that Petty was way ahead on the depth chart last season. He might be the best QB on the roster come September. Petty is not a lost cause. I see serviceable backup potential. Probably has no less talent than Hack.

glenn31 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Only way Petty becomes "The Guy" is if he successfully completes "I Wanna Be The Guy" (http://kayin.moe/iwbtg/) As far as being the "Jets Guy," that's kind of impossible for a guy who's ceiling is Pat Ryan (being generous) / Jeff Hostetler (being very generous).

The Crusher Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Are we basing this on what we want or what we saw last year? I want Petty to be better than Elway. I saw a guy prolly tops out as career back up sorta like Kellsn Clemons. Not a bad thing but still leaves us in need of a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony MaC Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Wouldn't it be nice if he put it all together? I doubt he does though. Being 26 he doesn't have much time to prove there's something more to him than just being a gunslinger with a one track mind out in the field. Such is life for an older rookie, if he was Hack's age I might hold out on hope for him a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either makes a major impact in camp, or his time with the Jets is probably done. I like Petty, but when your a 4th round draft pick, and the GM just surprised every one and took a 2nd rounder, the deckis kind of stacked against you.

Paradis Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Petty's future is a journeyman camp arm at best. I don't have anything against him, hell I even like the guy - but (IMO) he's shown unequivocally that he doesn't posses the ability to master the finer points. Timing. Anticipation. Vision. Poise...

MaxAF Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Last year Petty was pretty much thrown to the wolves. Gailey's conservative offence wasn't a good fit for him IMO. I thought he showed some strengths, good arm, gutsy in the pocket. Kind of Favre...ish I think he made a big mistake in the play he got injured. Maybe should have called an audible with the 2 D ends coming hard and I think there was a snap count problem with that play. The press is so sold on Hack that he's getting no PR at all. He needs to step up in training camp and preseason. This will probably be his only opportunity going forward as a Jet. I haven't written him off yet. New OC and QB coach with new offence might be just what he needs to excel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckkieB Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I think Petty is caught in a numbers game with the Jets and won't get another legit chance to start. The organization desperately wants Hackenberg to be successful and I think he'll get every shot to prove himself this year, with the McCown waiting in the wings to clean up Hack's mess if necessary. At worst, McCown starts the season as the starter and Hack gets his shot whenever the brain trust thinks he's ready this year. Either way, Petty is the odd man out IMO.

I don't think you can argue the fact Hack and Petty have tons of talent they both have what it takes to be great QB's physically, the question is... do they have the brains ? I think that's what it comes down to with all QB's they need to think in a 2.5 second window, have a feel for the pass rush, know exactly what just about every player on the field is doing and read the defense, none of which have anything to do with talent. When I say brains I'm not saying QB's who can't perform these tasks are stupid its just that everyone processes information at a different rate, just so happens when you play the position of QB you don't have much time. Its the single most difficult position to play in all of sports and nothing even comes close. That's why when you see college QB's with great offense's going up against totally over matched opponents its extremely hard to evaluate the QB position.

Petty was clearly getting the third string work in the OTAs. Even if he is the best QB, he's not getting the opportunity to show it. I think the only way he gets a start is if Hackenberg gets hurt.
