Question for you guys though, do you think that if Geno has 2, 3 INT games the first two weeks and Mark is out for week 3 the Jets would give Simms a shot? Or do you think they stick with Geno just to give more game experience to help him develop? Would want to see Simms take over if Geno is bad, or would you rather they keep Geno in? P.S. I'm not saying they completely give up on Geno or anything, more or less just decide to let him sit the season and learn the game from the bench a little and give him another shot next year.
maybe it's me, but i don't understand learning from the bench it's like the real world, you get better at your job through experience, not school. you learn from the mistakes
Personally, I agree with where you're coming from, but Rex's job is on the line, so if he has to sell the idea, well, he may not have choice but to do so.
they stick with geno. no chance of seeing simms until week 10 and that's if geno is showing no progress at all. I think its geno or bust this year. they have to know what to do in april and they can't do that without getting as much tape as possible on geno
Yep again. The Jets need to honor the 39 this year and they need to know what the heck to do with the 9 next year.
they keep him going, 2-3 INT's for a first time starter against two relatively tough defensive teams is no big deal. In fact I'd expect that and be fine with that since it probably means he got about 1 a game, it'll take much worse to sit him in a pass heavy offense.
Not that this means anything at all, because the situations are totally different, but Jim Mora let Peyton Manning rip as a rookie in 1998. His first 4 games were for 146 throws. 3 TD's and 11 interceptions. That's an interception rate of 7.5%. What did Mora do at that point? Dialed him back for one game. 23 throws. Then had him throw 165 over the next 4 games.
I mean most people in life get educated before they start their jobs. If a player is very inexperienced, watching from the sidelines a little bit might help them feel more comfortable. Then once they start, the game experience will help them learn much more.
Maybe he should start this era by watching more videos. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...snt-think-watching-tape-on-revis-is-necessary
I haven't really read any posts in this thread but I just wanted to get a comment in anyway on my take. 1) I wasn't a fan of drafting Geno 2) He appears to be our starting QB for the foreseeable future barring a failure of epic proportions 3) I may not have been for the pick but he's our QB now so I'll support him and give him a chance. I gave Sanchez four years before I started really getting tired of him, now Geno may not get that much leeway but he'll get at least a three years barring a complete failure of epic proportions as stated in #2
Not the long term answer. Hopefully he falls flat on his face and we have a top 10 or top 5 pick that we can use on Bridgewater or Braxton Miller
And then this years 2nd round pick would be a waste... Why would you hope that?? Wouldn't you want Geno to succeed, so next year we can use that 1st round pick on a playmaker that can help Geno??
No... Cmon, Ik you are a WVU fan, but Bridgewater could be on that Luck or RG3 level as a prospect. His accuracy, release, footwork (something clearly ahead of Geno), arm strength, leadership/toughness, ect. are all great. Right now I cant think of a major weakness to be honest. The biggest argument against him is the competition he played against, but he played florida during the sugar bowl and played pretty well. This is nothing against Geno, but Bridgewater is going to be drafted in the top 2 in a seemingly great draft for a reason.
It really seems like its time for a change, I really do wish Mark all the best cause he had a bad deal here. Someone will pick him up and trust me he wont be out there long. Now I just wish Geno all the best and make us die hard Jet Fans proud. Go Jets
