Geno Smith in 2015?

[Carnzo]

Wow, just wow. KO your quarterback. Nice job ace

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

i forgot fitzpatrick was there. you referenced some rookie getting more snaps.

Snaps in preseason that will only help I would think, going against guys that will actually make a roster

But yeah, Fitzpatrick starts, not that he's anything special

fitzy is 33-55-1 as a starter

geno is 11-18

just food for thought...

Well last year Fitzpatrick actually had a 95 QBR when playing with the Texans. So I would say he could be average which would still be better than what Geno produced last year.

that clown who flew that banner over gillette must feel awesome today.

So NFL.com has their scouting report of IK who punched Geno and this is what it says...

"Very Thickly built. Flashes shock and violence in his punch. Highly competitive, plays hard and motor runs hot. Keeps battling to the quarterback."

Well they really got that one right.

Exactly...The only way a Jets fan or anyone could see this as a Big Blow, is if you believe Geno is a guy that will develop and become an above average QB

I don't, I think he is the weak link on an otherwise pretty loaded team, so I don't see this as big news, even tho NY SportsTalk is speaking like its the end of the world right now

Your AFC East QB's to start the season, everyone?

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Let's review how things have gone for teams Fitzpatrick has played with:

St. Louis Rams - Fitzpatrick, a Harvard grad with a perfect Wonderlic score, is drafted in the 7th round of the 2005 draft as an intriguing project pick. The team who drafts him, the St. Louis Rams, is already set with a franchise quarterback. Marc Bulger, a Pro Bowler who has led them to back-to-back playoff appearances, is in the prime of his career. However, Bulger injures his right throwing shoulder after a 2-4 start to the 2005 season. He returns a few weeks later, but after losing two more games, he re-injures his shoulder and is out for the year. Bulger is replaced by Jamie Martin in Week 12, but Martin quickly succumbs to injury himself in the first quarter.

In comes Ryan Fitzpatrick. The unheralded 7th round rookie shocks the world with a brilliant performance, throwing for 310 yards on just 30 attempts, and delivers a 56-yard bomb in Kevin Curtis to win the game in overtime. This, however, is just a tease. Fitzpatrick plays horribly over the next three games, tossing five interceptions in his second start and throwing for 69 yards on 24 attempts in his third. He is relegated back to the bench, and never sees the field again for the Rams before being let go after the 2006 season.

As for Bulger, his career quickly falls apart. He rebounds with a pretty strong season in 2006 despite failing to reach the playoffs, but this doesn't last. Starting in 2007, the Rams plummet toward the bottom of the NFL and Bulger's numbers instantly crash for the next few seasons. With a horrible team surrounding him, Bulger appears shellshocked and never plays like his old self. Once Bulger is let go by the Rams, he never gets another starting job.

Cincinnati Bengals - Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, finds himself in Cincinnati by the 2007 season, where he is backing up another franchise quarterback. Carson Palmer, who has made back-to-back Pro Bowls, appears to have recovered just fine from his torn ACL and is right back on track to being a superstar....until 2007. Palmer throws 20 interceptions in a 7-9 season for the Bengals, an unexpected decline from the young superstar. But while 2007 was merely disappointing, 2008 was a disaster for Palmer. He is plagued with an elbow injury early in the season, later revealed to be a torn ligament, and aggravates it in a Week 5 loss before being placed on IR. Many believe this elbow injury has permanently affected Palmer, taking away some of the arm strength he once had. He has never been the same since.

Fitzpatrick again enters the starting lineup following Palmer's injury, but doesn't play well enough to warrant serious consideration as a starting quarterback.

Buffalo Bills - In 2009, Fitzpatrick signs with Buffalo to back up a somewhat promising young quarterback in Trent Edwards. While Edwards had not been spectacular in his first two seasons, he had performed reasonably well in what was thought of by some as a game manager role as Buffalo's starting quarterback. Until 2009, of course. Edwards regresses in his third season and, at the halfway point, is benched. Fitzpatrick once again enters the lineup and starts most of the second half of the season.

Despite the benching, the story remains the same one year later: Edwards once again wins the starting job in 2010. It doesn't last. Edwards ends up playing two of the worst games of his life to start the season, and is surprisingly released by the Bills afterwards. After a disastrous midseason stint with Jacksonville, Edwards' career in the NFL is essentially over.

Fitzpatrick, back in the lineup once again, surprises everyone with a decent performance to close the 2010 season. While that performance was promising, he then shocks the world in 2011 with a dominant 3-0 start capped off by a miraculous comeback victory over the Patriots. The Bills prematurely reward him with a massive contract extension, and Fitzpatrick immediately proceeds to regress back to his old self. He throws 20 picks in the last 13 games as the Bills go 3-10 to close out the season. He continues to languish in mediocrity in 2012 before being released.

Tennessee Titans - Once again, Fitzpatrick finds himself in a situation where he's backing up a young, potential franchise quarterback when he signs with Tennessee for 2013. The results, so far, are eerily similar. While Jake Locker appeared to have turned the corner on the field, he has now been struck down with injuries twice this year and is now out for the season. Yet again, Ryan Fitzpatrick returns to the starting lineup.

Houston Texans - Fitzpatrick is given the starting job early in the 2014 season but is replaced by Ryan Mallett after Fitzpatrick's poor play necessitated him being pulled. Mallett played well in his two starts, but goes down for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Reenter the Fitz...

And now, we have the Jets...

After reading this, if I have a promising QB on my team in no way do I sign Fitzpatrick. Everywhere he has gone, something stupid like this has happened to the promising QB in front of him.

 

[jarntt]

Heard on NFL Network that Geno Smith had the third highest QB rating over the last four games of the regular season last year. Anyone think it carries over this year and Geno has a solid year, his third year in the league?

No

 

[jarntt]

Well from what I just read Geno Smith got sucker punched in the locker room today and has his jaw broken so good chance he is out to start the year.

then I change my answer from "no" to "Hell no"

 

[Carnzo]

As for broken bones go the jaw was the least painful that I had. Once they wire the jaw it doesn't hurt at all. Had a little trouble keeping weight on and took some getting use to drinking my beer warm. The wires are run under the gum line so the cold gets you bad.
