Ok, turn the game on........... Fitz is starting, I'll have a few of these........ Geno comes in...... That's damn good beer! Would have sworn you were a Natural Light kind of guy. When I was young and broke, Nattie Light did save my budget! When I come to Houston, ya better have some money saved, I don't drink cheap!

i don't know about geno. one the one hand he's got the ability but on the other he may be disruptive by wanting to get in the game. fitz started and did pretty well as qb. he probably did better than geno would have. but he's also not a qb stud and it's going to be interesting to see if he's enough of an alpha male to keep geno on the porch. at this point, fitz deserves to keep the job until he fails.

Better option or not, the guy's a turnover machine who's an idiot that doesn't know how to be a leader. I'd rather have Michael Vick. Let's just agree that we hope it doesn't come to this. Well I would rather have Aaron Rodgers.

If Fitz went down God forbid I'd rather see Geno march out there then Petty FWIW.... I understand we don't have much of a choice here, but God I can't stand that guy (Gee-no). Especially for the locker room antics this season. What a complete fuckin' moron. As someone who once had high hopes for Geno I can't disagree with you...

I suppose this explains why Bowles went out of his way yesterday to say Fitzpatrick remains the starter.

Forgetting this year, God he looked like he new what he was doing.............sometimes......and other times it was like his first day! I'll admit, maybe I haven't given him a fair shake, since I was not in favor of drafting him, but after this spring I ALMOST miss Rick fuckin' Mirer.

Great news. We have a coach who knows sticking with Fitz is the best move and a legit backup that can win games if called upon. absolutely. If plan "A" stays on track, Geno may not see the field all season. BUT he will see how average QB play can win and win support from the team and fans. IMO, he loses the game Monday with 1-2 poorly timed picks.

Part of it is that he had to play WAY before he was ready, part of it is that he's an immature brat, and the other part is that maybe he's just can't read a defense....

On paper this is great and should be acknowledged as such. Let's look at the facts. The team is 2-0. The coach has stated that there is no competition, this is Fitz' team. The coaches have stated that Petty is no where near ready for pro play, and they took the risk of no 3rd QB to start the season.
When you're a playoff caliber team (let's pretend we are for now though it is too early to determine), you need to ensure that you have depth at every position in case the worst happens. Hatred or disapproval for Smith aside, Smith is a huge improvement over Petty as QB2. This statement has nothing to do with whether we want Smith to start or not or even come close. This is an upgrade. You want a backup QB to be someone that can hold the fort for a while and not lose you too many games, a la Mark Sanchez 2014-15 with the Eagles (4-4 I recall?). Having a QB2 with upside (End of Seasons both 13 and 14 for Smith) is even better.
While Geno has swagger that Fitz will never have (Tampa Bay first ever game on the bleacher acting like the Anointed One), I do not think he will cause any trouble for Fitz or try to disrupt things to get his starting job back.
Bowles has shown that this is a different team, run differently, holding itself different. "Don't be satisfied" should be the team motto. Keep quiet and get to work like a professional. It's terrible to say, but IK punch likely was a huge blessing for Smith's career. It showed that the old circus under Rex will not be tolerated, you will be released immediately and regardless of your past you are not guaranteed anything like Kerley. All of Geno's improvements needed are mental. All of Fitz' strengths are mental, now he is forced to watch. Most importantly, he is forced to listen because his jaw has been WIRED SHUT for time now. He's had to be quiet and take it, and he's seen that if he doesn't want to get released like IK he needs to be quiet and take it. If he acts up or causes trouble, Bowles will destroy him with that stalwart and stoic half-smirk with piercing fire-filled eyes.
Tl;dr let's keep his jaw wired shut another two months and glue him to Fitzpatrick's hip so he has to see how a leader acts and analyzes. Every text on play analysis Fitz sends to WRs should be forced to be typed by Geno with pop quizzes every night.

Decent news, because this game will most likely be a bloodbath.
