i don't know 54, from little interest to none??

wouldn't denver have swooped in already & grabbed fitzpatrick on the cheap?? especially now that it looks like SF is going to play hardball..


actually seeing how little denver gave up (reportedly a 7th) for sanchez, i don't think they are out of the QB market. not sure elway is rolling the dice on sanchez as the starter.

I think @RGIII and Chan Gailey #nyjets would be a good match @nflnetwork

Mac's playing Hardball and RG III is not done physically....He needs to change his style of play or he will always be Mike Vick... good for 11-12 gamesa year only.... Mentally yes he needs to be fixed, the skins ruined him, and I think Gailey will get him and his confidence back on track.... His career QBR is 90.6 and his career compl% is 63.9

He is an upgrade over Geno and if he stays healthy quite possibly Fitz as well.
not broken physically?? i would estimate if the rookie version of griffin raced the griffin of 2016 in a 40 yard dash, the rookie wins by about 5 to 7 yards..

besides, his 63.9 completion % was predicted on the "high school harry" read option & his ability to gain chunks on the ground.. he was throwing to wide open guys because he & alfred morris were gashing defenses running the ball..

LOLz the cherry on top of the sundae is even if he could still play that way he thinks it's beneath him.. you ask him, he's a drop back passer..

as far as washington "ruining him," the owner absolutely adored him but it was reported at great lengths his teammates & two separate coaching staffs had no use for the guy as QB, leader or person..

i live in maryland so i've watched that slow moving train wreck up close..

they brought in griffin & signed sanchez tell me a lot about elway's opinion of fitzpatrick..

we'll have to wait & see how it plays out.....

I'd take RG3 in a minute prefer Kap over all of them
Don't think Fitz has it in him for back to back years anyway
Never thought it come to this but hey it's the Jets
Still think,we end up with Fitz and we won't be to happy this season
Whatever

Do you think he will change his game, physically? So Shanahan/Shanahan ruined him? Gruden Ruined him? But Chan Gailey/Bowles have the ability to fix him?

I'm also not sure you understand on a daily basis his issues with the media, facebook posts, twitter, etc. You hear in NY the terrible times ones. Again, geno is immature. He may be 3 or 4 steps up on the maturity scale above RG3.

Also, Petty played the same offense, is bigger, and had better stats then RG3. Plus this will be RG3's third offense in the nfl.

Not sure how you teach a player from a "gimmick" offense in college, who was given a dumbed down NFl offense (blew out his knee) to stay in the pocket and run. RG3 is a rung below Petty in my mind. And I like Petty, but he is 2 years away.

I'd rather wait out Fitz, and if all goes wrong, draft a Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook. But RG3 is not the answer, and such a "Tebowish" type move

I agree. Not sure if Fitz can sustain the high level of play but he's accurate the others aren't so that is the reason why I prefer Fitz over all of them. Hopefully Petty can take over mid year.

Gailey is a qb guru. He is probably the best at tailoring an offense to fit the qb. I am sure any move we make has his blessing and that makes me sleep better at night

Everyone knows Petty is 2 years away because that is what the newspaper fools told us and a scout said it a year ago??? Means nothing.

RG3 scares me. I don't want him or Kap. I'm hoping we can get it done with Fitz, because I think the other options are just plain not good.

Doing one year is how we got into this in the first place. You always have to add a second year, make it friendly so you can walk away.
Maccs only mistake last year was forgetting to renegotiate Fitz immediately after the trade. Rookie mistake. When he wins game 1 offer him some extra cash, a2nd year, and a team portion 3rd.

I'm fine with vet minimum to take reps in camp. Probably a ploy for Fitz. Sit ir get off the pot Fitz.

I absolutley love what RGlll brings, but he scares the hell out of me. It'll be like watching Chad Pennington take the field. In an instant, our starter would be lost for the season. Thats how fragile he is.

Though, if healthy, he would excel in this system. He does have a huge chip on his shoulder and you would have to consider, sitting out a year, the kid is at full strength.

If you can sign Griffin for $8 mil and Fitz wants the same money a year, its a no brainer, you sign RG3.

Waiting for Gailey and Mac no doubt.
Wonder if he'll have a workout with Chan or just discuss financial parameters to see if either side are even in the same ballpark
