SRQ_BillsFan Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Not sure why but I think he will get around $10 mil for 3 years with $8,6,3 mil per year guar. So 3 years $30/$17. They just seem like middle of the road numbers, but much less than he would like. The guar. May be a bit high.
boyst Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Maybe it's time to drop the "clipboard" thing? QBs don't carry clipboards on the sidelines anymore. If anything they carry Microsoft Surfaces. Besides, it was the 3rd string QB that carried the clipboard anyway. that's not even funny. it is funny. but not that funny but i laughed and found this hilarious. it's like stupid funny because for no reason that was injected in to the statement. and it didn't need to be but because it was hilarious. that was well done, rdb
beerme1 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 the jets may plan to trade for Hoyer who they also looked at last year in FA. He's basically Fitz but for 8 mill. Then draft a guy or keep developing petty or geno. I agree with them that Fitz just isn't worth that. I agree that Fitz isn't worth what he's asking but I think he's asking because the market just went stupid. And given the choice between Hoyer for 8 or Fitz at 12 or something I'm taking Fitz. Kinda sucks when it comes down to this. Chan is his best asset, as we know. Proven last year. Shame Jets lowballed him so hard. Now its just uncomfortable. he should have remained a Jet get one more season in and then mentor some one. Fitz isn't. i was hoping for some middle ground for them. It really is an uncomfortable spot I think. Too bad for a good guy but I hope he just ***** on the Jets and they can roll with whatever.

machine gun kelly Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 As 3/12 points out, it's a great thing for us if they have to go to Geno. The Jets are at risk as much as Fitz. With a 2 to 1 ratio last year in TD and INT's along with about 4000 yards, i don't understand the Jets position. i know the Bradford, Osweiler deals are out of hand, but it is a market demand thing in capitalism. What makes the most sense is the Jets get back to the table and start with 10 mil / yr. for three years and $15 mil guaranteed. That's basically a 1.5 yr. commitment. They can move to 11, and at the zero hour finish at $12 mil and go proportionally to $18 mil which is still a basic commitment of two years. They'll most likely get the same out of him for one year. It's hard to compare his earlier years as he played on crappy teams. Each side wins and everyone walks away head high. It's not like they have their next franchise QB in 2017. The earliest is 2018 given the draft, so the Jets doesn't have anything but two years locked into Fitz.
3rdand12 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I wonder if someone in the organization is still pissed about the final Bills game?
reddogblitz Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I agree with them that Fitz just isn't worth that. How much is 10-6 and beating the Patsies** worth? Not saying Fitz was the sole reason, but he did play a big part.
YoloinOhio Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 How much is 10-6 and beating the Patsies** worth? Not saying Fitz was the sole reason, but he did play a big part. i don't know. But I think he has peaked. I don't think he will replicate that. I'm looking at the rest of his career and thinking it's going to be more like that than just the one season. So not worth it. Jmo.

I didn't think his play with the Jets was all that different than his play In Buffalo. The difference was he had a D and didn't have to score 35+ points per game. He also had Marshall and Decker to throw to instead of SJ, Donald Jones, and Ruvell Martin. IMHO.

IMHO. good point. when he played the Bills i guess he felt he had to put the game on himself to win. he never wins those games. But if he relaxes and just does enough he can succeed. Jets have some decent receivers and can run the ball. He does not have to carry the team
YoloinOhio Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 I do give him credit for beating the patriots ... BUT the week 16 pats were not the real pats. That same team lost to Miami the next week.
Prickly Pete Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I do give him credit for beating the patriots ... BUT the week 16 pats were not the real pats. That same team lost to Miami the next week. Yeah, get real, that Patriot team was arriving in wheelchairs. People hanging on to Fitz is comical.
3rdand12 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Yeah, get real, that Patriot team was arriving in wheelchairs. People hanging on to Fitz is comical. Geno time per Willie Colon. what changed his mind?
Beef Jerky Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 good point. when he played the Bills i guess he felt he had to put the game on himself to win. he never wins those games. But if he relaxes and just does enough he can succeed. Jets have some decent receivers and can run the ball. He does not have to carry the team Fitz just isnt good enough, even with the WRs, Defense, RBs.
3rdand12 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Fitz just isnt good enough, even with the WRs, Defense, RBs. I know, but Geno ?
Beef Jerky Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I know, but Geno ? Yea, I have no idea what they are doing there.
3rdand12 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Yea, I have no idea what they are doing there. Kinda gotta wonder if they know. Draft? RG3 ? Kaep?
machine gun kelly Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Their in a bad draft position for a QB. Fitz last year far out played what was seen out of RG3 and Kaep their alst two years which is enough of a sample size to make an opinion. I'm betting a deal gets done, unless Denver blinks and offers Fitz say $12 mil for 2-3 years.
Saxum Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I do give him credit for beating the patriots ... BUT the week 16 pats were not the real pats. That same team lost to Miami the next week. Wow not only are Pats* cheating in other ways they are bringing in other players and having them suit up on games they do not wish to play!
YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Wow not only are Pats* cheating in other ways they are bringing in other players and having them suit up on games they do not wish to play!ha. Ok they they were the injured and beaten down Pats, with lots of backups everywhere, who couldn't even beat Miami the next week. When I think of the "real" Pats it was the team from the 1st half of the season. They looked unstoppable. Then injuries and throwing 50x a game and no running game took its toll and they became beatable. Edited March 21, 2016 by YoloinOhio
