Good

No need to risk injury to a valuable starting QB

I could've told you that

Smart move. If he played, I would have question Todd Bowles qualification as head coach.

No brainer! Bowles big decision is how to share the playing time between Petty, Johnson & Flynn. I still think there is a possibility that either Johnson or Flynn maybe be one of the final 3 cuts due by 4 pm Tuesday.

excellent news!! fitzpatrick put in good work against the giants so i trust he'll be ready for week 1..

In his presser today after practice, Bowles said that he wants to see both Johnson and Flynn on Thursday:

I saw that. Probably means we're not going to see much of Petty. Unless Flynn just can't go.

Maybe petty plays opening drive, if at all.
Flynn first half if healthy, Johnson second half.

If Flynn is healthy enough he goes one 1/2 Johnson goes the other . Petty sits unless he has to play. Bowles needs more info on the other two. He has to cut one Petty is set as #3

 

[Mugatu]

I thought you were supposed to put your potential starter out there late in a meaningless fame behind the 3rd string Oline?!?!?

 

[Bronx]

I would cut both Flynn and Johnson. It's a risk, but I would take the gamble, and not lose a body from another position

 

[maxmet]

agree that Flynn and Johnson get the time - they need to be evaluated. Petty is for sure on the team.

Hopefully they keep both since both, at their worst are better than Punchy, at his best

I am not a Geno fan but he stays and one of the other two goes.

Wouldn't be the first mistake the Jets have made or the last

As long as they keep him planted on the bench all season before sending him packing, it will be fine

I agree. Roster spots will be at a premium. Don't think they will though. Bowles has indicated he doesn't want to put any added stress on Petty to play this year. Don't know where he is at with Smith at this point in time

Is it really "stress" if Petty realizes he's only going in because there's no other option?

If Fitz gets hurt week 3 and Petty has to play 1+ games, I don't think it would hurt his psyche. Of course he'd want to do his best, but if things didn't go as well as planned it would practically be expected, and he could learn from the experience once back on the sidelines.

If Geno is going to miss 2 months, then it's a different story. But right now I agree that I'd rather roll the dice with Fitz/Petty until the bye (unless they see long-term potential with either of the other two) . . .
