Looks like one (if not both) of them will be available this off-season. If so, who would you like to see in Green & White?

Neither. Go with Matt Moore.

Cheaper option, hold the fort while you rebuild.

[unbanmadmike1]

There is No WAY I'd give Alex Smith anything more than one year. Same with Vick.

Agreed. Matt Moore would be a good 1 or 2 year solution until someone worthwile is available to draft or sign

[FloridaJetsFan]

Cousins.

[CrazyCarl40]

Neither and not Matt Moore either. He's terrible. I'd rather McElroy for a whole season and he's not going to be any good.

Where do you people think the Jets are going to come up with money to invest in the QB position? They'll cut Tebow but still have McElroy and Sanchez. If anything, they'll draft somebody to haha dev... hahah. Develop. hahaha

LOL love that last bit there.

Agreed. Would go with Matt Moore or another similarly cheap veteran who you can make a short-term commitment. Then take him, McElroy (if he shows anything worth a damn over these next two weeks) and a mid-rounder, throw them into a full-on open competition and let the best man win.

Smith.

Not sure why people keep bringing Cousins up. The skins drafted him for a reason, to be RG3's long term backup. No way they move him.

I have this little bit of hope that the Jets will be able to work out a trade of Sanchez for Matt Flynn. Basically a larger scale Wayne Hunter for Jason Smith deal. Two teams unloading bad choices. Not that I see Flynn as any sort of savior, just that getting Sanchez off the roster would be a huge move in the right direction.

Barring that, a Campbell or a Moore would be fine as a short term move. I'd also be looking at "all the tools" type QB projects in the middle rounds. Guys who look like they should be first rounders on paper, but fell for whatever reason. A GM who knows how to hold onto and/or collect draft picks can pick one of those guys every other year. It's a nice way to build some stability at the position.

I think the bigger reason they drafted him was in case they whiffed on RG3. If they're confident that they haven't done that, they may be willing to move him for the right offer.

Do you see Flynn being better than McElroy? or are we talking about the same type of QB?

Maybe he's better. He certainly had better coaching in Green Bay than anyone's gotten on the Jets at the position in a long, long time. Maybe ever.

What I really see it as is the only real possibility to get Sanchez off the roster. That's the big benefit.

Got it. But if McElroy shows signs this week and next I do hope he is really given a faior shot to lead this team. I hope we make some moves for a WR, Big TE and another RB. In addition to an OLB.

Agreed. I like these ideas. Plus, there is a small part of me that thinks Moore could actually develop into a slightly above average starter. He reminds me a lot of Matt Schaub.

So you're signing him to be the #3 QB? I'm not sure where Sanchez and GMac are going, especially if McElroy plays decently the last two games. There is no room cap or roster wise for another game managing QB.

I'm thinking (or maybe hoping) the Jets cut ties with Sanchez, no matter the cap repercussions. I mean, really, who cares? They're not going to be competitive next season anyway. Whats the big deal if you take in that ass from a cap perspective for a season?

I think that is wishful thinking. You can't cut Sanchez and be competitive base on the remifications of the salary cap. There is no way that Woody will want the Jets to be bad and no make him gobs of money. They could probably try and sneak into the playoffs next year. I just don't see them signing a free agent. Draft a mid round QB to develop (if they have the right coaching) sure, but not sign someone.

Smith.

Sort of. They used a mid-round pick for him to be RGIII's backup. But in turning down a high pick, they're essentially burning that 2012 4th rounder used to draft him AND the 2013 1st or 2nd rounder (assuming that's what he would fetch) they'd be turning down. For a backup QB. For a team that has no first round pick in 2013 or 2014 and didn't have a 2nd rounder in 2012.

So that's 3 first rounders and a 2nd rounder on their starting QB and a 1st/2nd rounder(?) and a 4th rounder on his backup.

A mid- or early-2nd for Washington's backup QB, who (barring serious RG3 injury) is not in their plans as a future starter for them, would be a tough thing for a GM to turn down. An offer of a first would (or should) be impossible to refuse.

Matt Moore sucks at playing Quarterback.

Alex Smith isn't a sexy acquisition but he's everything Rex would want out of a QB. High completion percentage and a very nice TD to INT ratio. He's also dealt with all kinds of drama in SF so should be prepared mentally to deal with these vultures in the media.

I never would have thought I'd be hoping for Alex Smith but I think he's the best and most logical choice.
