we had a better shot w/ geno.

Welp, this settles it.  We're better off with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[MBGreen]

we had a better shot w/ geno.  geno was still a bit of an unknown, Fitz is known and not very good.  he will put up decent #s and fool some people but he's a Kyle Orton/Matt Moore type that you can't win with.  I hope I am wrong but I have seen too much of him to have any confidence in him.

Did you not see enough of Geno to come to the same conclusion?


Fitz is a stopgap....no more no less.

I am not pro Geno but I was interested to see him in this system w/ this talent around him.  there was still hope, Fitz is nothing more than a quality backup.  if he has to start long term we aren't winning.

[Heismanberg]

if he has to start long term we aren't winning.

His contract expires after this season.

We aren't winning a damn thing with Geno Smith.  He loses games.  All this team needs right now is someone that won't do that.

I'm with you in that i wanted to see what Geno could do in this offense. 

But after seeing how he handles himself in the locker room....i hope we never see him in green/white again.

I didn't want to see Geno Smith start another game for this team before IK broke his face. 

He is a terrible player.

We always say this about bad young quarterbacks. Sanchez went into an entirely different system with better talent around him in Philly and he was still, well, Sanchez.

I meant more than coming in for part of a game or a couple of games.

w/ geno we won 8 games 2 years ago w/ a roster half as talented as we have now.   I wouldn't say w/ confidence we'd win w/ geno but I wouldn't rule it out either.

I think his time has come, if Fitz plays reasonably well and we are winning I don't think geno ever sees the field again for us.

he was actually very good, the offense scored almost a TD more per game w/ him under C than w/ Foles(who is a pretty good QB).  They missed the playoffs b/c they couldn't stop anyone.  if we had mark this year we'd be a playoff lock.

Smith didn't win those games.  He isn't a pitcher.

Fitzpatrick and the Texans won 6 games...the worst team in the NFL the previous season.

At the end of the day Geno and Fitz are basically stopgaps. I don't even think the coaching staff was under the delusion that either guy is the long term answer for this offense. We lost one stop gap, and are now stuck with another. Except now we have a more experienced stop gap.

The jets didn't view Geno as a stopgap.

He was thought more of a stop punch.

Yea they did.
