My Plan to Settle the QB Situation ... longterm

[Green Jets & Ham]

First I would draft Paxton Lynch if he falls to us at 20 as most are projecting.

If we have to trade up a little and it doesn't cost too much, fine, but the first part of the plan is drafting Lynch.

Next order of business, don't resign Fitzpatrick, we need to start finding out what we have with these young guns.

The three QB's we should carry are Petty, Geno (primary backup) and Lynch (develop).

That said, we need to do everything we can to prepare Bryce Petty to start on opening day and give him the whole season to see if he progresses, and then, by seasons end, we should have a pretty good idea of what we have in Petty and if he's worth another year as the starter. If he is, start him again to begin the 2017 season, continue to develop Lynch and see how it goes. If Petty can hold on to the job by playing at a high level, great, and if not, then we make the switch to Paxton Lynch and see if HE can be the guy.

Lastly, in the event that Petty exceeds expectations and doesn't give the job back, we can always deal Lynch and recoup a first round pick with the way QB's are in demand, and if Petty flops, we have a blue chip QB prospect waiting in the wings who will already have a year of grooming under his belt.

Thats my plan, but we can't have Fitz gumming up the works, we have to begin the process of finding the longterm answer.

It's not a bad plan. I'd like to see what Petty can do, too. Paxton Lynch's stock is rising according to most of what I'm reading. He was very impressive throwing in windy conditions recently at a workout. That would translate well in the AFC East. I'm guessing someone's gonna be interested in moving up for him in that 12-16 area. I don't think he falls to #20. So Macc would probably have to deal for him.

especially in the context of our schedule for the coming season, this plan also sets the Jets up for a really nice draft pick in the next draft

This works for me. Time to find that franchise guy and a young one at that. This retreading garbage we got going on is for the birds. It ain't easy finding a franchise QB obviously but you gotta start somewhere and be willing to take that chance. I personally would rather the Jets not draft a QB this year or atleast in the later rounds and go with other needs or BPA but I understand. My thinking is give Petty the reigns for a year or two and see what he has and build around him with draft picks. If he works then great, if he don't then back to the drawing board. Either way they do it just please do it and let Fitz go his way.

BTW-in a perfect world I hope they do resign Fitz for the $7-8 mil and not a penny more and Petty beats him out anyway. This way there wil be no debate that Petty is ready to go.

I think I have been saying this all year. I agree

 

[mydogisajetsfan]

I don't think taking a team who was on the verge of making the playoffs and possibly a decent run in the playoffs, whose best players are on the north side of 30, led by a record setting QB and putting them in the hands of a completely unproven QB is a good plan.

For all the love that Fitzpatrick has gotten by this fanbase, there's a few ugly truths not being spoken here: 1. Fitzpatrick crapped the bed in the last game of the season against Buffalo. Playoffs on the line, and he had a big fat DUD of a game. Yes the weather was bad. Yes other players sucked too. But when the game really meant something, Fitz failed. 2. Fitzpatrick doesn't exactly have an impressive history of taking his team's into the playoffs.

I still think he's a better option than Hoyer. But it's not a wide margin.

He is not $10M better thats for sure. Fitz is not even worth $10M.

Bryce Petty is still in project mode. There's a reason why you never hear Petty's name come up in discussions. The Jets know he needs another season warming the bench and learning a pro style offense. It would be crazy to start him as it would likely ruin him.

Geno is simply not a solution. The guy has shown over and over again that he is simply not starting material. He also the ultimate in immaturity before last season began. His days are numbered with the Jets and I'd bet he's not a Jet when the season begins.

I agree with you about Paxton Lynch though. I really think having a few young bucks in the works is the best approach. If we end up with two real deal QB's??? Well, isn't that a GOOD problem to have?

In the meantime, the Jets should absolutely resign Fitz. Nobody on the Jets roster is ready to go right out and play. Not Petty, certainly not Geno, and assuming Lynch becomes a Jet he would need time as well.

 

[isired]

If Petty sees the field this season, it will be late season garbage time or due to multiple injuries.

Sign Hoyer for cheap and cut Fitz off at the knees. If Fitz wants to compete with Hoyer then fine. He can come back for slightly more than last season but significantly less than what he was offered or wants. Both guys are used to being backups. We need cap space. That would give us a veteran or two for Petty or rookie to learn from and we can cut Geno.

You guys are all nuts anyway. You do realize that this foolishness about moving on from Fitz is never going to happen, right? The Jets are going to resign Fitz. Not sure when, but they will inevitably sit down and hammer out a deal.

I don't want to speak for the others but I would not have so many players over 30. "In Fitz we bust" In A young quality Qb we build trust

Again, as of today we are playing the present & the future but I don't like the way we are doing it...this could change but as of today. No good.


Fitz is just table scarps. Come on big mac get us a QB

This makes the most sense by far.

Sure Fitz isn't the long term answer, but for what we have right now, he helps in more ways than one. This team is set to win now. The players respect the hell out of Fitz than anyone in that locker room.

Fitz is helping the maturation of Bryce Petty and would obviously aid in maturing Paxton Lynch if drafted by Mac next week. Geno wouldn't. Smith is just holding a roster spot in the event we dont land a QB in this draft.

I get the whole idea of getting a youngin out there to see what they can do. But history has stated within our organization that is the worse decsion possible and detrimental to the progression of the player. Out of all the years of being a Jets fan, they got it right once grooming a QB and that was Chad Pennington and he would attest to it as well in many interviews. Had he been thrown to the wolves in 2000, he would have wet the bed and would have been considered a wasted draft choice.

1st things first. Continue what we started with Fitz and allow the QB's behind him (not named Geno) to groom. It is the best method to see what their true value is worth.

one Hugh problem is Petty is not ready according to the FO so you plan is not feasible. AS Maine said he is a year away. In addition, why would you throw him out there with the kind of schedule we have... he had issues reading defenses now, his foot work needs work and out 2016 schedule is brutal that just smacks of failure and is tantamount or similar to what geno experienced. .

I am not a Geno fan by any stretch but I rather play him and let Petty be the back-up and continue to learn and if Geno stinks it up then put him in but only as a last resort.

 

[jetgreen13]

not speaking for hammer but what i took from him is he trusts gailey & the tools that would be at petty's disposal if he were to start next season..

it would also give us a look see if petty flashes enough to potentially be "the guy" & making lynch (if we do indeed draft him) very nice trade bait going foward..

the good news is i don't believe for a nanosecond the jets would start the season with petty if he has no business being on the field..

I'm not going to get into an argument again, but Fitz did not cap out in week 17. Buffalo is a good defense, Ruan has always g had Fitzs number, we had no kicker, we had no rb. 2 out of 3 pasta of the scoring equation were out. That left Fitz with 2 receivers as our only offense. He was handcuffed and was trying to do too much because he had no choice. It's not fair to make a blanket statement that he sucked.

If we had an actual nfl kicker on the roster, we would have won easily. That's the tiny difference between"he sucks"
,and a historic year worth our best passer leading us into the playoffs. The veterans who want to win now, aren't in love with him because he had a nice smile, they view him as their best chance to win.

Mac might just have a mod squad that can make a run.

Mo gets dealt and Fitz gets signed before April 28th.
