dave mcbride Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Do you remember the game Geno had against the Bills? I do, and I don't think he's great. But he did play well in the final four games of last season: 65.1 percent completion rate, 9.2 ypa, 6/2 TD INT ratio, and a 105.3 rating. The Jets were 2-2 in those games, and the two losses were as follows: a 30-24 OT loss to Minnesota in which MN scored on an 85-yard screen pass on their first OT possession, and a 17-16 loss to the Pats that went down to the wire. Smith made a bunch of good plays in that game. The point is, he appeared to be improving, and the stats and team play reflected that. He has a ton of flaws - don't get me wrong - but he really does throw a nice ball, and he's pretty mobile. Comparing him to Fitzpatrick, at a certain point you have to recognize where Fitz is going to get you. In his last two games, Fitz is 34-73 for a truly dreadful 46.6 completion rate. He is not going to change. Having said this, I do realize that Fitz is still only slightly behind Brady in ESPN's qb rating system.

Leroi Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Did you know he went to Harvard? What does Harvard have a anything to do with his intelligence? I have met moron surgeons. And I have seen genius burger-flippers. Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldnt assume it. Fitz is not that bright... Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) You gotta feel for Fitz.. He will never get to the playoffs, and he's started on like 5 teams. Losing follows him wherever he goes.. When will the nightmare end? Edited November 23, 2015 by Idandria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will the nightmare end? About the same time as the fat paychecks... I'm praying for Brady to channel his inner Fitz tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 @nyjets Bowles: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the starter. There was "not much" thought to making a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As a Bills' fan, this sounds good to me: Fitzpatrick on starting nod: 'I'm the right man for the job' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Geno is EJ-bad. Fitz has his limitations, but after you get past the top 15-16 QB's, you can certainly do worse than Fitz as your QB. After Brady, Ben, Eli, Rodgers, Cam, Romo, Palmer, Dalton, Wilson, Flacco, Rivers, Luck, Carr, Brees, Ryan, Winston, I'd put Fitz near the top of the next tier - Bradford, Foles, Tannehill, McCown, Alex Smith, Mariota, Bortles, TJ Yates/Hoyer, Kaepernick, TT, Cousins, Stafford, Bridgewater, Cutler. Alex Smith and Stafford are only 2 in the next tier I'd clearly want over Fitz if I needed to win a game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 let's see Plenty of time for him to break Jets fans hearts If he can lead them to a W vs NE* I will be happy for him and Chan though! Yup, most likely in a playoff game though cause that team is cruising into a wild card spot while the Bills fans that ran him off, (along with another coach Bills fans ran out of town) will be watching those games from their TV set along with the rest of the Bills team. stupid Jets organization, when will they learn that Buffalo was smart to dump Fitz and they were stupid for dumping Rex.

truth on hold Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Wouldnt get too excited about running up the score at home vs titans, especially when your defense pitches a shutout on every possession but one Edited December 14, 2015 by JTSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Wouldnt get too excited about running up the score at home vs titans, especially when your defense pitches a shutout on every possession but one better than we did against the Titans. I'm rooting for Fitz to win it all at this point, always like the guy just didn't have the arm and too many pix for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I can't believe people don't take that into consideration when throwing Taylor under the bus...I'm quite sure any first year starter would be better.
