YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 When a guy knows your system he's the first choice to help. I think it was Trent green who followed Al Saunders around to a couple different teams.agreed. He may not even start. But he's the perfect vet backup for Chan.

KDIGGZ Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I see Fitz as our Matt Cassel or Kyle Orton. Veteran backup who is ready to go in just in case. I still think the Jets will somehow either get Mariotta or have a trade with the Eagles to get Bradford plus picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the Jets will somehow either get Mariotta or have a trade with the Eagles to get Bradford plus picks That's exactly what those guys should be. Good backups/ spot starters. Expecting anything more is silly. You are better going with a young guy because there is a cap on how far those veteran guys can take you. It's why I hated the Orton thing and it looks even worse now that Marrone and Orton are both gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the problem is that EJ has shown nothing to indicate that he will ever be a top tier QB, and has shown signs of why he will not. Now, I happily concede that he was not used properly. He imo needs to be a running qb but he didn't look so good in this area either. I predict that EJ will not win the starting job. It would be great if he did win it and went on to produce, but I just am not seeing it. But fear not, I thought that Rob Johnson was going to be a star because I was mesmerized by his talent.

It's fair though I think he has had more moments than you (Pats game, 2nd Jets game, Panthers). You love Mallett and I've never seen anything special about him. IT's ok to have different opinions. Fans and media love to call out busts after 1 or 2 years. I'm more patient and realize it's a process, especially at the QB position. But he certainly needs to earn it. I will say if it is close between Cassel and Manuel, they should give it to EJ. Cassel is who he is at this point. And it's not like I've won a bet with you before. (cough, signature, cough).

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would love to face Fitz twice... He has never beat Rex I think. 2009 Game 6 16-13 W 2012 Game 16 28-9 W In between there, 5 losses though. Rex really did p'wn Gailey. If they want him as a backup and mentor, I think it's a good move for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please look this up in your urban dictionary. Fitz is a lot of things but he is not a gamer. Great guy, good Vet to have around with starting experience. He is absolutely not a gamer. For every win vs NE he has three terrible loses at the end. Like the Titans game from later that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Fitzy's on a personal mission to play for every team in the League during his career. Thing is, every team he's played for believe his career is over.. We had him completely figured out last season and their offense only mustered 1drive the whole game. Fitzy didn't win that game, Manuel lost it -and his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The Jets are doing well guys. Fitz is Fitz as we know, he will win them games and lose them games. With that new HC their D should be much better too. Brandon Marhsall is a stud and they got a good FA G too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Fitz is a big upgrade over Geno, and could either start if necessary or mentor a rookie. Good move by the Jets. Fitz had a good year with Gailey, and Gailey seemed able to find ways to put Fitz in a position to succeed. Good move for Fitz. Fitz is a great guy and I wish him the best, except when playing the Bills. I don't think the Jets will be very good this year but they have added several important pieces to some they already had. I think they'll pick up CJ Spiller but not Fred Jackson -- they already have Chris Ivory who in some ways is a younger version of Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefWeck Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) What you're seeing here is a version of whathappened in Buffalo for the last 5-6 years. Dysfunctional ownership and bad drafting leads to a situation where there is no stable leadership and few high quality veterans. Now they have to field a team with a lot of people who wouldn't really be starting elsewhere in the league alongside the occasional big name veteran who will be enough to sell season tickets.

I'll go on a ledge and say maybe Gailey put his faith in the wrong guy. Glad both of them are on the Jets now, so the Bills can continue there dominance Over that team.

metzelaars_lives Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure that the Bills are in any better shape than the Jets or the Dolphins at this point. I would give the Bills a slight edge over the Jets in terms of their respective defenses although they're both top ten- probably both top five- defenses. I would give the Jets a slight edge at QB now over the Bills. I think the Bills only clear cut position of dominance over the rest of the division is at running back. If we play to our strengths and really do ground and pound I think that gives us our best chance to win. I think the AFC East will be VASTLY improved and might even be the best division in football next year.

Just with the move of Rex to Buffalo the division got a jolt, games between the Bills and Jets and *pats will all have a little extra flavor. Now with the arms race going on in the division the past week and change, it's only gotten more fun. You're right that the division will be vastly improved all around, and it should be a lot of fun to watch. Though I feel the Jets aren't in that great of shape, and the Dolphins are awful. I'm not scared of either of those teams as a Bills fan. But that's me. *great shape and awful compared to the Bills, not overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
