I did not realize how good his stats last year were until I took a closer look.
Ryan Fitzpatrick Traded to Jets
- Thread starter jetfandreamer
- Start date
Good completion rate, good TD-INT ratio. If he comes in and plays as well as he was last year, the Jets are going to be better than decent.
whoever wins the job is fine with me.. go get em next season's NY jet starting QB!!
Fitzpatrick's passer rating was 2 points lower than Brady's. Geno's was 20.
Fitzpatrick had a 17TD/8INT ratio. Geno had a 13/13 ratio.
I'm not sure why there is such a narrative of Fitzpatrick being so awful. The team could do worse than having Fitzpatrick on the field. And if Geno learns something, and puts his physical skills to use in an intelligent way, all the better.

This works because of his experience with Gailey. I could definitely see the Jets in 2015 reach 2009/2010 levels with a better coaching staff, improved qb play, and a much better front seven on defense.
As for Geno, it's too soon to write him off. I could never call a second round pick a bust. At worst, he's a capable backup qb with a solid arm and + athleticism who can win games. I think in Gailey's offense, he'd look a lot more competent then he had in MM's offense. You also can't discount the fact that under Ryan, no qb's ever developed. Geno is signed through 2016 on the cheap. If he improves great. If not, we've got a backup for a couple of seasons.

Think about it….biggest problem Jets have had has been turnovers. If you cut that in half, this team could be working w/ something #Jets

Nobody is saying Fitz is the savior but yall wanted competition at the QB position right……RIGHT?!!

Didn’t the #Jets get to back-to-back AFCCGs w/ just a ‘guy’ a QB?

Rex had 4 QBs during his tenure & developed ZERO! Is it possible that some of Geno’s flaws were a lack of development/weapons?!
Damien Woody @damienwoody · 1h1 hour ago
It just amazes me how ppl are so ready to pull the plug on Geno. What was he working with? How was the coaching/development? I’ll wait…..

Listening to Parcells on ESPNNY radio speaking truth re: Geno. Go check it out
I wish I knew what Parcells had to say about Geno.

It will most likely be a 6th, but I agree
Didn't hear the actual interview, but I know he feels it's too early to give up on the kid . . .
Step above? The Jets are the guy's 6th team. A journeyman he is. But that's OK. We needed one.
The guy also had a top-10 passer rating, and had more than twice as many TDs as INTs last year.
Hey. I'm not saying being a journeyman is a bad thing. Fitz reminds me a bit of Jim Plunkett. And he won a SB, after being in the league for something like 10 years. We should be so lucky if Fitz can turn out to do something like that.

gaileys oc days in buffalo the oline was a strength even though they had a bunch of nobodies that is why gailey is so good at oc he designs the offense around being able to get rid of the ball fast or to move the pocket so he takes less sacks.

Parcells the commentator feels that way. Parcells the HC would have thrown him to the curb after his rookie season. Parcells hated QB's who turned the ball over.

Fitzgerald is just the type of QB I wanted the Jets to bring in, an old vet, former starter who's had some success. He is capable of having a career year, especially with the talent that will surround him. I think this move gets us a step closer to one of the six playoff spots.

Note to sarge
My dislike for Genobust is based on watching him stink as a rookie and then watching him.learm.nothing and actually stink.worse. I will no longer be deluded into hoping this pile of garbage can be a good NFL. QB with the usual baloney about better OCs better weapons etc
Thankfully we no lomger have imbecile coaches who. "Believe in.or have faith in him.and have taken.a first positive step in.Fitz and probably another in.the draft ....Grayson or Petty.
.if Mariota is gone....to.finally rid the Jets of the disaster known.as Geno
