I doubt they'd have to pay a lot for him, so after thinking about it I guess I would not hate the move.  My initial reaction was hell no. 

I'm just tired of a QB competition every.single.year.   As much as I don't want Fitzpatrick back at some insane price, it would be nice going through the off season knowing who the QB is going to be.   

With RG3, I don't think he'd be handed the job over Geno, he better not be.    But I do think it'd be a competition in camp. 


Also, I do not like RG3, don't think he is a good QB....but he did get screwed in Washington with Mike Shanahan....who seems to make more enemies than friends. 

Biggest mistake the Jets made was letting Pennington go to the dolphins.   Getting your boy to start instead of him was such a marketing move. 

I was so mad.   I loved Chad.   IMO it cost them a superbowl.   Chad as the QB instead of Sanchez........Jets win a SB under Rex. 

I wish I knew more about the Jets and football in general so I could carry on a better conversation with you. I started following the NFL/Packers 6 years ago. I do not know who Chad Pennington is? But if he was the better QB they should have kept him right? The Jets made it to the championship game twice with Sanchez and lost and Pennington would have won those games?


Chad was a great, great, game managing QB. The Jets let Chad go and signed Favre. Chad was an injury prone QB, so that was the reasoning in the decision, though it was a horrible one. The Jets made it to those AFCCG's on defense and running game, not on the arm of sanchez.

Which game was the butt fumble?

Edit:  skipped over this question;   If I remember correctly it was thanksgiving night against the patriots.  

Is Geno Smith better than RG3?

Great question that is impossible to answer. I think Geno has more talent and is a bit stronger and I think RG3 has more football IQ and is faster.

Are they similar in style?

By in large, yes.

I think RG3 got screwed in Washington too.

I read today that the Jets are offering Fitzpatrick "back-up" money and he wants "Starter" money. Where would he go? And would that mean that RG3 and Smith would be the only ones competing in training camp for the starting position?

In terms of RG3 and Geno.....if those are the QBs in Jets camp, it'd be a competition, if Fitzpatrick is there, it's his job.


In terms of Fitzpatrick.......He really is in a good position of making Denver and NYJ bid against each other for his services. I think he could demand and receive starter money relative to what starters have signed for this offseason. I personally would not sign him for that, but that is what I feel he will receive.

Fitzpatrick was awful that game. And he really was not that good all year.....but Marshall and Decker bailed out a few bad throws.

He is not the answer to a teams QB situation, the problem is the answer is not out there......the QB situation in the NFL is not pretty.

No. Everything is about the QB now.......Fitzy or no Fitzy.

List the QB's the jets have had.......and tell me that Ryan fitzpatrick is better than them.


Just so you can really display how bad this post is. 

You got to be kidding.  You are not serious.  come on man!  Noodle arm Pennington, Brookie, bad man, Bollinger, Vinny  the washed up , Brett on his last leg, Kellen C Lemon!  Greggy and Geno the Jaw Breaker!  foley?  How far back you wanna go, or are you in that outlyer group that actually think Chad was more than an average QB?  Get real.  Now tell me who took a 4-12 team to ten wins?  well?    Who holds the Jets all time record for tDs?  Fitz    Who is second on their all time list for yards in a season passing?  Fitz once again.    What you got to argue with facts?  Jeesh!  do your homework.

Fitzpatrick is a better QB than Pennington was? Come on.



And lowballing Fitz? Why, what has he signed that shows he was low balled?



Low balling....would be offering Mo 5/75. Mo is not going to take anything close to that, nor should he.

The Jets never gave an offer to Mo that has ever been reported by the press, but remember this-JJ Watt in February was the highest paid DE in the NFL at $16.6 million a year.  To think Mo W would not consider $15 mil a year does not stand the smell test.  Make it five years and guarantee enough of it and he would have been all over it.

Of course Fitz is a better QB than Chad the Dinkmeister.  His best year was 2002, the only time he won 10 games and he still threw for fewer yards and half as many tDs as Fitz did last year.  The guy couldn't stay on the field.  In his time with the Jets he was 32-29 as a starter.  He was a big part of that medocrity.   Fitz is no Namath, but he is the best option they Jets have-if they pay up.  I say it will cost them between $10-$13 million for him to sign.   We shall see, until he signs then that $7 million was obviously not enough.  Ergo-lowball.

Honest, if I am the Jets brain CEO, I trade what ever picks I have to to the titans and take the QB I like the best and go from there.  They have mega cap room next year for FA and re signs, I try like hell to fix that 48 year QB  merry go round

Watt and Vernon's contracts are different......you first implied offering Mo 5/75.......if they offered him Watt's contract, i'd say that's market value.    It would be crazy for the Jets to not use the franchise for 1 year on Mo......that was the smart move.  Next year will be the decision year, unless they trade him.   But to do anything but franchise tagging him is nonsense.  If they didn't he'd hit the free market and who knows if he comes back. 

And this is the only year Fitzpatrick has won more than 6 games.   11 year career, 1 year with more than 6 wins.   That shows you it was the team, not him.

And if they sign him for a 1 year 10 million.....and they originally offered 1 year 7 million, that's not a low ball offer. 


Also, trade whatever picks you have to get a QB makes me laugh.....they traded picks to get sanchez, they traded picks to get Geno.....clearly your strategy works well. 

I will drive to your place and poop on your living room floor. 

Asked point-blank if he hoped Fitzpatrick would be back, Marshall said, "He better be."

What is Fitzpatricks leverage?


"Well, there are 31 other teams in the league....none of them think i'm worth this money.........but trust me, I am! They would rather trade for RGIII and Colin Kaepernick than pay me for 1 season.......but they are all wrong and I am right!"

They are playing it perfect.   Just wait and sign him for what you want to sign him for.
