Is Hackenberg is going to go the whole game in game 4? Petty is hurt. McCown probably won't be put on the field with 2nd and 3rd stringers and I don't think the Jets can afford to put their 1st stringers out there in week 4 of the preseason. Too much chance of somebody getting hurt and missing the first quarter of the season.
Watched the game late. About what I expected. Hack was playing SLOW. Nearly got Anderson killed on that 2nd pick 6. Waited too long to throw and was inaccurate, as he was all night. Even when he completed passes he put them in places where the receiver couldn't make yac. Not only is he not ready to play NFL football or be a starter, but with two training camps under his belt I now question if he can ever be ready. He is that bad. Worse than Geno. Petty... strung together a second good game against 2's. Petty is a gamer, and I knew he would beat out Hack and make a case for being the starter, but the biggest risk with him is being injury prone. I hope he's ok. And from his post game interview it didn't sound like he thought it was season ending, but he is showing signs of being unreliable health wise. Not something you want to build your team around.
Petty showed he's more ready to step in then Hack...Hack essentially redshirted last year, so he's a green rookie. He struggled with the pass rush and the offensive line in front of him. His accuracy is still much improved...although there was one pass to ASJ he overthrew which may have been the lone time he had a clean pocket lol.
I feel for Petty but at the end of the day he is 26yo man and should have be showing us something, going off today's performance he probably would have got the gig and I would have been happy with that but for people at the same time to then take the opportunity to kick Hack in the balls again, he is 22yo and still has time to improve, blatantly he isn't ready to start this season but he does need to keep right on learning and improving and hopefully get another chance later on in the season, time is still on his side at the moment.
He's worse then Geno right at this moment but I still feel he has a future going forward as he doesn't seem to suffer from the baffling decision making or poor situational awareness of Mr. Smith. His mistakes are just those of a first time rookie who is still trying to adjust to the speed of the game and the higher physicality and ability of the opposing teams. Come next year he might be at the same level of competence as BP is right now but chances are that he'll also be in the BP position of being automatically relegated behind the potential jets FQB of the future come 2018 OTA's. I could make a case for/against any of the 3 starting; Hack needs real gametime to advance his progress and has the highest possible chance of being FQB thus allowing the Jets to draft a high impact, non-QB player in the draft or even trade down in a (possibly) rich QB class. Sadly he is not ready/competent enough to be less then a drag on the team and won't allow a fair judgement of any other part of the offense until he can make adjustments, go through progressions and develop his timing. BP has the 2018 stats, has shown poise, moxie and does all the things that you would expect at a minimum from a starting QB. Again, this is has been done against scrubs and whilst he could become a very competent QB who can drive the team along, He is more in the mould of an O'Brien rather then an elevational talent like Marino. McCown has the experience and will allow you to evaluate properly. But he's not the future and may be a little rusty.
Obviously Petty or McCown but since Petty can't it will be McCown and that may be the only reason Hackenshit won't get cut, he is atrocious.
Not to overstate the obvious, but we're working with the WORST OLINE in the NFL. If they don't let unblocked guys come thru to smash our Qb, they do the jobs themselves by being clumsy. Just put the guy you can afford to lose behind center and wait for the draft.
That's McCown, let him take a beating. Even tho you and i disagree on Petty, he doesnt need a career ending injury behind this abysmal line. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Seriously? With the pounding he's taken, you're saying Petty is showing signs of being unreliable health wise? I would have expected that from some other posters on here, but not you. Sorry, but I think it's way too early to even think that. Few QBs could stay healthy behind the Jets' OL. AFAIK, Petty has no injury history in college or his rookie season with the Jets.
No weapons, except Powell, worst oline I have ever seen, horrendous play calling, Brady would suck with this offense
Last year in preseason he hurt his shoulder and was out for weeks. The hit he took on the play couldn't actually be identified. It was a relatively little shove. The season ending injury against NE where he fell on the fumble and was tackled... seen that hundreds of times in football. But Petty is knocked out. How many times have we seen QB's and Punters get their legs taken out by defenders or their own lineman. That wasn't an obviously bad hit he took last night. I think most QB's walk away from that. But it could be a season ender for Petty. You know other than CMan I'm one of the biggest proponents of Petty on this board. The kid has heart and guts. I think he is the best QB the Jets have. But Im not sure his body can take the pounding.
Geno was a first year starter who put together a decent rookie campaign. Hack is in his second year and looks atrocious in preseason. It took over a season to see that Geno wouldn't learn from his mistakes and needed to be replaced. Even Hacks biggest proponents see that he should NOT be on the field in 2017, even as a backup. Funny how Bowles gave credit to Hack for his last minute TD drive last night. Didn't mention Hack didn't see the blitz and was nearly destroyed (against 3rd stringers) a few plays before. But that's been typical all season. Bowles, the media.... a bunch of Hack fluffers. Petty is 18-20 and 3 TD's and the story on him is, well Petty may have made the case to remain on the team. I agree Hack can grow and mature. But I'm disappointed in what I see and am pissed that Hack gets all the reps and chances and has done nothing with it.
I say they should start woody at qb. It won't be any worse, and with a little luck he'd get killed and someone with a brain can buy the team. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Hackenberg is clearly not ready. He should be red shirted until we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Petty is the guy who we need to roll with right now. McNown can be a reliable #2. If Petty is less than 90 percent due to injury we should start McNown until Petty has the mobility to survive our OL.
Point: Yeah but Petty was playing against backups.... Counterpoint: Yes....but he looked like Tom Brady against backups. He obviously isn't Tom Brady. But maybe he is a serviceable starter? But we don't know that because the Jets front office wasted all the first team preseason game reps on Hack. A QB that is obviously not ready. How bad does that make the Jets brain trust look? They stacked the deck in Hacks favor all year. He had more reps than anyone. Looks like shit. Should have just went with a true competition.
I refuse to use the words brain and trust when referring to the idiots running the show over there. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
