Why do you say that?

The Jets need options at QB. Yes, they should definitely look to sign a vet before the draft. But by simply taking a BAP approach to the draft, should a QB rise to the top of their draft boards, they shouldn't hesitate to take him. And there's no reason to think a mid-rounder can't be any better than McElroy. Worst case scenario, you have four QBs battling for three spots. Not really a bad scenario.

And really, the Jets could very likely go into the draft targeting the position, and that wouldn't necessarily be all that bad, either. The only way you can get lucky with a mid-round QB is by taking one in the first place.

The QBs in this draft are terrible. Drafting one is a waste of a pick unless you're taking a flier on a guy in like the 6th.

how do you know he's worse than Sanchez? Because he had 1 end of season start when the team had already quit?

How about the Jets try something novel and have an open competition and let the best man win?

That seemed to work out pretty well for the Seahawks who had an incumbent starter, rookie, and high priced FA battle it out. Competition is always a good thing.

Tom Matte would be a better choice than Sanchez.

Why would you bring in a FA QB vet? What purpose would that fill? There's really so many holes on this team, da Jets ain't vying for a World Championship next year so go out a get as many qb prospects as you can - throw'em on the fire and see which one(s) don't burn.

Does anyone ever care? He's not an NFL caliber QB.

Why bother playing any games next year? Just pack it in. The season is lost. Lost I say!

He's worse than Sanchez but probably better than anyone they could draft this season.

So, if McElroy was in this draft he would be a first rounder? The statement makes no sense.

[faba]

Just do not think Mcelroy has the arm to make sense to keep him as a viable option

No QB in this draft is a first rounder. If McElroy was a rookie this year, he'd probably be one of the first taken. He still is not very good.

Not a chance. These guys aren't being taken because they are inconsistent. McElroy went late because he doesn't have an NFL arm. Teams will take a chance they can coach up an NFL arm, they won't take a chance the McElroy will grow an arm.

I think what happened with Greg is he got concussed early in the game and tried to play through it.

This is the best hope for the kid's future in the NFL.

Someday I wish we get to a point in JETS history where we do not have any below average QB's on our team!

[New York Mick]

If he is, we're ****ed.

[pedro55]

Does it really matter? He was a 3rd string QB who wasn't active for what, 14 out of 16 games. He wasn't even active in a game where Sanchez sucked, should have been benched, and Tebow was injured and Rex wasn't going to put him in. And nobody seemed to want or like Tebow as it was last season. That really says a lot about what the coaches saw from Greg. When the team never activated the kid for almost the entire season and they didn't like or believe in the starter or the backup, there just wasn't much anybody ever saw in him. He wasn't even good enough to be a backup on a team with two terrible QBs.

[SenorGato]

He'll be cut and catch on with the Vikings for a couple of years. He'll even make a start in his second year on the road at Green Bay.

If only Everett Golson were draft-eligible!

[spjets]

McElsack had one of the worst QB performances I can remember, like as in ever

f him

I'm sure your first NFL start being sacked 11times would've been stellar too.....
They need to give the kid a chance...

[CrazyCarl40]

Given the way the NFL QB position is changing right now, if Golson continues to develop the way he did in his Freshmen season, you may see him as a first or second rounder come his eligibility.

Except for the can't-throw-to-save-his-life thing, sure.

You are nuts!

[slats]

Seeing the Jets mocked to take a QB in the second round quite a bit. Problem with that is all the crappy teams who passed on QBs in the first round (because there were none) will probably be taking QBs before the Jets on the clock. But if the Jets were to -say- get Denver's first rounder for Revis, that would be a nice slot to take a shot on the best of the rest QB of their choice.

They have to get a veteran before the draft, too.

McElroy'll be out, and no one will miss him.
