Quote:You could say that about very important players at almost any position.

 

The Jets are a little different. Bryce Petty is starting. Is that a tank job?

 

  It's noticeably more pronounced at the QB position.   

 

 As for the Jets, with the way Ryan Fitzpatrick has played this season and with him dealing with a knee injury,   the Jets have practically nothing to lose by giving Bryce Petty an extensive opportunity.   It's hard to envision Fitzpatrick being back with the Jets in 2017.   The Jets aren't going to pick up the option on his contract and I doubt the two parties will want to work out a modified contract agreement.
