Not a bad start for a team that some geniuses predicted that we would suck and that Fitz was garbage.

I think the other choice words were "pathetic, shi$$y,embarrassment, and MILES away from respectability."
Guess thats how they see us when you worship the Great Rex.

He was on SNY yesterday, or maybe it was Tuesday, and they asked him about Bowles announcing its Fitz's job, and Colon was not at all politically correct, he said its absolutely the right call :)

Couple of interesting tweets about Smith today. Said he found out it was Fitz's job, when Bowles announced it to the media. Never talked to him about it. Which is odd if true.

He wasn't worried though, he'll be a starter again, if not here, then some where else.

Fitz IS garbage. Don't kid yourself.

Listen, the guy is the best option for this team at this time. That's not saying much when your only competition is Geno Smith.

But Fitz is playing well right now and the Jets SHOULD be riding that wave till its conclusion. He's being responsible with the football right now. He's making the team competitive and the Jets haven't been competitive in a very long time, not since Rex's early years.

BOTTOM LINE: Ryan Fitzpatrick will NEVER guide the NYJ to a SB championship. NEVER. That's the truth about Fitz.

Nobody ever said he would. Most of us are happy with the progress he has made. And he is a big reason for their start.

Not really because Bowles said the same thing in the immediate aftermath of the incident. He said, very clearly for all the world to hear, if Fitz is playing well and the team is winning when Geno gets back, Fitz will remain he starter. He basically announced that it is now Fitz's job to lose, and it was a big story for a day or two. If Geno didn't hear that, its only because he didn't want to hear it, and if he didn't believe it, its only because he didn't want to believe it. Maybe he's just the kind of guy who blocks out bad news, but this is absolutely old news, Bowles made this CRYSTAL CLEAR before the season started.

He wasn't worried though, he'll be a starter again, if not here, then some where else.
Oooooooo-kay. Okie dokie :thumbs-up:

That only happened because the Ravens had statistically the BEST defense in NFL history. What a completely absurd post.:stoned-smiley:

and after the two games you don't think we have a top defense in the nfl which is what I was saying.

we don't need fitz to carry a team like luck and the manning brothers all we need fitz to be is trent dilfer 2.0 which I think he can.

No. I ABSOLUTELY do NOT think the Jets have a defense comparable to the 2000 Ravens. Which is what you referred to, NOT just tops in the NFL. NOT EVEN CLOSE. The comparison alone is completely absurd.

If all goes as planned the Jets could very well end up being the top defense in the league. You don't need to be historically the best defense but one that gives trouble to opposing qbs. We have made two offenses look like crap so far and that's without our defense having arguably its best player. When Sheldon comes back, we will be even better. A defense that could carry a qb

no i was refering to us having a top defense in the league. I never said it had to be the greatest just the best in the league this year and yes we can be that so yes fitzpatrick can be trent dilfer 2.0.

His arm strength in those first 2 preseason games was alarmingly bad I was very concerned.
Not bad now. Not strong but adequate.
What strikes me is his calmness and quiet confidence coming out of the huddle,
lining up, and surveying the field.
It's as if he's lining up for practice.

I think he's what this team needs right now - a field general
considering the last 2 QBS were not...
He lets every one else play with power and passion while he quietly leads.

perhaps i should have been more clear..

i didn't mean when he was still in the process of getting his legs back under himself, literally.. i meant week 1& 2 of the actual season..

a 10-15 yard out is his biggest weakness
