Jets’ Petty, Hackenberg get equal first teams reps

Hack has everything you want in a franchise QB... Size, Smarts. Arm Strength, great release... Watched him play a lot at Penn St... I like the pick as well, though I'll be honest I think Petty is better, but his mechanics are off because his footwork is awful. Definitely fixable... Hack comes across as very moldable so with the right coaching I see a QB problem on our hands in the next year or 2 and not our Normal problem.. I think Macc picked 2 great QB's that will be very good starters in the NFL..
I notice you left accuracy off your list. Throwing easy td balls into the stands or ripping off 6int games isn't a good way to start a career.

+1. I agree with you on this. I am still reserving judgement on whether or not he is a good HC but he and Mac are both mushroom "feed sh*t and keep 'em in the dark" guys.
It's not even patience, Bowles is not gifting petty anything, he has to earn the spot. Earning something means competition. Hack gets reps, petty doesn't get a bigger head like geno.

MY bad... I think I was thinking faster than I was typing... My reference to his footwork knocking off his mechanics is why his accuracy is off.... LIke I said with the right coaching and the right student it is something that is fixable.... It's gonna be a rough go of it because he will have to think a lot about footwork all the time to get it right. But like I say repetition will bring second nature.... If the kid puts in the work he will get there....

I thought you intentionally left off accuracy. It's a minor side story, but the fact that hack even earned first team reps is a major step considering how bad he was. Of course if it was just to make petty earn his promotion, and not a vote of confidence, then he's still learning to qb.

Fitzpicksix is the preferred name for me.

There's also F-ints-Patrick or Fitzgarbage. Another good one would be Fitzdisaster. I don't care who they start, it could be a Jets cheerleader or stadium janitor. It could be the homeless guy that sleeps down the street from the stadium, just as long as it isn't Fitzbullshit.

PicksPatrick is my favorite.

I honestly like how Bowles is approaching this.

I'am more than sure that the back up has been told already and that the foregoing weeks it will be that way until that back up is annotated the starter.
I just get the feeling that Petty and hack are closer than we think. The plan all along was never to gift wrap these two anything as the regime did to Geno.

Scratch and claw until you've earned it.

I can't remember where I saw this, but one of the local papers mentioned in an article that the coaching staff indicated that Hack got a lot of reps, of course, while Petty was injured, and that during that time he demonstrated significant progress - and that is the reason that TB is splitting the reps between them to decide who will be the #2 for now.

I think we may see Bryce today .
Wishful thinking?
Or no more confidence in Fitz?

I hope that Fitz gets us to a 3 TD lead by the 4th quarter so Bryce can come in for his first NFL experience...

This is what I hoped. I was hoping the tight competition was because of Hack being on the rise, rather than Petty on the decline.

Fitzgarbage strikes again! He'll keep both QBs on the bench as long as he's winning these meaningless games. He's becoming the nightmare you just can't get rid of. Perfect around Halloween time!

I read a tweet from Kimberly Martin that Bowles was asked about Petty and Hack. He said something along the lines that Petty is our #2 but Hack isn't too far behind.

Not sure how to interpret this. I hope it's what Sack spoke about above; that Hack has showed progress.
