It’s tough to have faith in Geno Smith, and both Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg are believed to be years away from readiness.

Mikey Mac needs to get Ryan Fitzpatrick back to Florham Park to professionally hold the bag until a permanent solution is realized.

Under Chan Gailey and teamed up with Brandon Marshall, Fitzpatrick can only improve in the second year of the same offense.
