Part of me wants to do what the Cowboys did in 1990 with Aikman. Just put in Hack, expect him to suck royally but at least he gets his reps in and then decide if you have enough to go into next offseason with. Wasn't Aikman a first round pick? He was the first pick of the draft. But he was also a legit star in college. Hack was awful in college notwithstanding all the excuses you'll hear from his defenders. Awful. _

It's just bizarre. I guess he has no interest in staying employed either i don't see his interest in the long term future of this team... Remember that Petty had not practiced until last week. If he is going to get a shot this season, my guess is it would come after he has had more than a week worth of reps, possibly after the bye when he would have had about a month back at practice and could get some time with the 1s.

Awful. _ Exactly... can't expect Hack to duplicate what Aikman did. I didn't articulate my point clearly. The Cowboys let Aikman play 11 games his rookie season and he was awful. The team was willing to live through that so that he could get actual on the job experience. www.nfl.com/player/troyaikman/2499369/careerstats. My point is, we are not going anywhere this year. We may as well let Hack take some reps even though the team wanted to put that off until next year. If Hack is absolutely hopeless, let's find out this year when we may have an opportunity to pick at the top of the draft and grab a different QB instead.

If Hack is absolutely hopeless, let's find out this year when we may have an opportunity to pick at the top of the draft and grab a different QB instead. I want to agree, but it does seem that the front office selected Hack with the idea that he could "become" a franchise QB with the proper grooming. I'm not sure if throwing him into the fire without a first pro off-season to work on his mechanics would be the best way to develop him. Then again what exactly was the plan for a starter at QB in 2017? Obviously it was not Geno. And if they intended to bring Fits back, that plan is out the window too. So, the 2017 QB has to be either Petty, Hack, or a guy not currently on the team. Either way, it makes no sense to play Geno or Fits this year. So, unless the view is that Hack could be ruined by throwing him into the fire, go with Hack. Otherwise, Petty. Regardless, the Jets are pretty much screwed this season because they overpaid one experienced crappy QB, and then refused to play the other experienced crappy QB when it might have mattered. Now, nothing matters other than 2017.... I am hopeful (but not optimistic) that this was the plan all along.

Just saw. Smith named Starter v Ravens and Bowles indicated it is entirely possible Jets will go with Petty or Hack if (when) they are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.... That should be in about 3 weeks.

Dumb to even mention this.. so if I'm Geno, I'm like: Knowing my ass will be pulled in 3 weeks anyway... I'd run the other way just to give the other team a TD.

He has to look at this as an opportunity to resurrect his career, even if it is just a couple of week opportunity.

I misspoke... which rarely happens...looks like he's gonna wait till we out of it.. which could be tomorrow...
