We all hope for Petty to be "the answer" as much as Geno or FITZ....we want the Jets to win..but in all honesty Petty could have been long gone before that pick..and maybe the Jets would have taken Shane Carden..or Bennett..or whoever..and the same thing would have been said about the other guys...Petty has some skill..but isn't that big....and will need A LOT of time to turn into anything..even if he does or can
but don't act like the Jets were "targeting this guy, or laying in the weeds for the right time..."
Ia'm sorry, but i have to respectfully disagree. Had the Jets drafted any of the other QB's i feel the general consensus would be that hopefully next year we'll draft some one else.
Outside of Mariota & Winston, Petty blows all the other QB's out of the water. Sure he was a system QB, but thats what Art Briles asked of him to do, and he thrived in it. Bryce is a student and as passionate of the game as i've ever seen (the likes of Brady & Pennington passionate). He wears his emotion on his sleeve and his teammates know it.
He has every intangible that makes a QB succesful in this league. He has a cannon of an arm, more than the aforementioned QBs that were drafted this weekend. Plus, he does know a thing or two about the spread offense, a scheme Gailey runs. He has to make adjustments and thats why McCaggnan & Bowles made it quite clear he will most likely sit this year. Unless he showcases Russll Wilson'esque skills this summer.
Most likely he does sit, which is the best approach.
