He is talking about Fitzpatrick in the physical sense, his knee injury is getting better.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He\u2019s getting a little better. He\u2019s taking some reps. He has to do some more though.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What is surprising though is that Bowles continues to start Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Jets are sitting at 3 and 6, Fitz is not under contract for next season and you have a home game against the Rams. Seems like the perfect time to give Bryce Petty his first start. After this game the Jets have the bye week and then the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>Really not sure how much more they need to see from Fitzpatrick, who has thrown 13 interceptions this year. If it was just a matter of cutting down on interceptions that would be one thing. But he is averaging 220 yards passing per game and only has 8 TDs in 9 games. \u00a0He is consistently missing open receivers, this isn&#8217;t a matter of bad luck.

And that Petty is ready to go. Yet somehow Bowles says that Fitz won&#8217;t be on a short leash against the Rams.\u00a0The scariest part of all might be the refusal to admit there should be a QB controversy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For me to make a quarterback change, I\u2019d have to have a quarterback controversy.

Bryce is the backup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is only year two coach, but we are starting to lose our confidence in you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Fitzpatrick is getting better according to head coach Todd Bowles.
