I think the experts under estimate the young talent (Mauldin, Williams, Lee and Jenkins) on defense and they have no clue how Bowles Schemes for a game because now he has the speed he craves with those 3 LB'ers...... The key as it has been for years will be the QB play.. whoever it is... we get Fitz and a repeat of last year 11-5 is possible.... We get anyone of these young QBs to play mistake free football we go 10-6. We get anyone of the QBs to play at Fitz's level of last year with less turnovers ( I am specifically talking 9 or less Ints).... WATCH OUT!!!!
12 wins is a bit lofty, imo. We'll win some we shouldn't, lose some we shouldn't, and be competitive in most. If we can get some relatively decent QB play, I see us as a 9-7 team. We play some tough teams this year, but I think we'll be tough ask for our opponents. Our defense should be fun to watch.
It's not the opponents that bother me about the schedule, it's all of the short rest before the toughest teams. A lot of short rest and travel combined makes it hard to heal and practice.

worst cast 7-9, most likely 9-7, best case 10-6 book it:global (23):
What I see is MM and TB building a team that is similar to the Az Cardinals. Stifling, playmaking defense and an offense that can stay on the field. I think we will be in every game this year, and depending on how some of the young pieces on defense contribute we should be 8-8/9-7. Although it would help having Fitz running the offense, I'm not overly concerned if he doesn't sign.
Yep he had 15...... Minus his Int's against the Bills in both games last year ans we probably win both and win the division at 12-4... Big if's
Those were the only INT's that mattered though.
This seems wildly optimistic, I would say. 12 wins comes across as high with this schedule.
I'm not sure the team got better in the short run, though I think it did in the long run. This may be a one-step-back year, in preparation of a leap forward very soon.

I think 10 wins this year. I feel we got better short and long term, without the short term guys hand cuffing our future.
Now it's up to coaching and having players commit to winning. Just sign Fitz, and I give mac an A for his first 2 seasons.

I personally hope Fitz doesn't resign. I'm ready for the youth movement and franchise QB search to begin by showing itself on the field. Yes Ofcourse I know the players and maybe most Jets fans don't feel that way but I do. I feel average QB play will get us 10 wins. As long Ofcourse as the D steps up, Oline, running game and WRs as well. Pretty much what they did last year, which helped Fitz have his kind of season. In other words, his season IMHO would have been average at best without his weapons and Oline and D from last year. He can't carry a team, POINT BLANK PLAN AND SIMPLE! So average play out of Petty, Hack or Geno and "YES I said Geno" will help get this team to 10 wins. With the other parts of this team playing the way they did last year. Will 10 wins be enough for the playoffs? It wasn't last year so who knows.

'82' there's a part of me that agrees with you about a youth movement at QB, but the stink of 2 QBs rushed into a starting position before they were ready is still fresh in my mind. For that reason only I would like to see Fitz for at least one more year, and then we should have a good idea as to what we have in either Petty or Hack. The flip-side of that is that our safety blanket WR's (Marsh/Deck) may not be around to help the young QBs. There really isn't a perfect answer to our current QB situation, but the best one is probably Fitz.
Unfortunately your probably right and I can't argue that at all. I will say this, if Hackenburg and Petty aren't ready then by all means sign Fitz. Don't think any of us want to see Geno at QB. However; if our team is what I think it is then average competent QB play should be enough for 10 wins. I think Hack or Petty can do that. I think even Geno can. Look at what the Seahawks did with R. Wilson his first year or the Steelers did with Big Ben his first year. I'm not asking for what Cam Newton or what Dan Marino did with their teams. Just basic QB play and if Hack, Petty or even Geno can't do that, then they should sit out all damn year.
