Wouldn't we all rather have Geno play?
 
Well, yeah, but its still awesome.
 
Fitzpatrick might be better and had a surprisingly good season statistically last year.  But there's a reason (or several) that he has been on four teams in four years.

So dumb. The jokes write themselves.
 
From the team perspective, I like Fitzpatrick way more than Geno (especially with this roster) so I'm not upset but the optics can't help but leave me shaking my head.
 
Ya, it's not like he clocked Revis or anything.

Agree with SB -- Fitzy is way better than many realize.  He'll throw a few picks, but I'm betting he also has 3+ 400-yard games.

Any chance that the Pats put Enemkpali on the roster before a late-season Jets game and send him out as an honorary captain? Maybe he can "cold cock" Kevin O'Connell, too!

He has had 1 400 yard game in his entire career.

Fitzdragon is terrible but honestly, aside from the pure comedy of this (and my, is there plenty of that), this is probably worse for Pats fans. Someone whos not Geno Smith is gonna be the starter.

Punch to the face after having a finger pointed at you is now a sucker punch? Times have changed.

Rex Ryan may be gone, but his stench on the team remains.
 
Maybe that banner-flying dipshit can fly another over Jets camp now.
 
It was never just Rex Ryan.  They pick up a lot of guys with various kinds of issues--some off field, some football-effort related, some guys with bad reps in locker rooms, some guys like Calvin Pryor who play pretty recklessly onfield-but they don't seem to have the strong veteran leadership to help corral that. 
 
EDIT: And oh wow, it turns out that Enemkpali was arrested in 2011 for battery of a police officer.  All too often, like they did with Ras-I's injury's and Hernandez's, well, everything, these chickens come home to roost.

Maybe he hit him with a defensive back. Smith never sees those coming.

The best part of this is that Goodell may feel obliged to leak more false deflategate info to draw attention away from this, thereby pissing off the judge and helping out Brady. Thank Jets.

Looks like the Jets posted this just a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit early 
 
http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-randylangefb/Jets-Unveil-First-Depth-Chart-of-the-Season/53dfd48e-e172-4d72-ac8c-fe17faec5e06
 
 
The Jets have released their first unofficial depth chart of summer in advance of Thursday night's preseason opener at Detroit.
The QB depth is no surprise, listed as head coach Todd Bowles laid it out back at the end of the June full-squad minicamp and as they appeared at Saturday night's Green & White practcie: Geno Smith starting followed by Ryan Fitzpatrick, fourth-round rookie Bryce Petty and free-agent rookie Jake Heaps.

Now we know. If Ryan Fitzpatrick has come to your team he will start at least 8 games. Someone on Twitter noted his track record is uncanny. 8 or more games started in 7 seasons.

Six degrees.
 
The "k" is silent in Enemkpali (E-nem-pa-lee). Like how "P" is silent in Pflugerville, his hometown. I lived about 20 minutes from it, as it's adjacent to Austin. 
 
Neither of us will play a down for the Jets in 2015.

How much of an asshole does a QB have to be to get punched in the face by a linebacker?

Anybody with vintage GangGreen quotes?
 
  • "Please let Enemkpali be Mo Lewis and Petty be our T*m Brady. You know, minus all the cheating and sleaziness." - The only thing that would have mad this more Gang Greenish was a crack about TB12's sexuality.
  • "It makes you wonder if both of these guys are just assholes. Getting someone to break your jaw is not easy. Unless he is insane, of course. Did I read this happened in the locker room?"
  • "somehow, i'm more upset at the news of losing IK. this guy was primed to contribute. stupid move. i get the sense Geno is not the most respected guy in that locker room, or this would've been diffused a lot quicker."
  • "The fact that IK made it out of that room alive just shows how little Geno is actually respected in the room.."
