JetNation Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 There are several reports saying that the New York Jets are interested in bringing in a veteran QB to compete with Mark Sanchez for the starting position. Chris Mortenson says the Jets could have 5 quarterbacks on the roster; none of them being named Tim Tebow. Jets plan to beef up the depth chart – could take as many as 5 QBS into OTAs and I don’t expect Tebow to be 1 of those. — Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) February 28, 2013 From the report on RotoWorld: Per Mortensen, the Jets plan to sign two free-agent quarterbacks. Quinn has history with new Jets QBs coach David Lee, who “likes (Quinn) a lot.” New York will reportedly bring five quarterbacks to training camp, not including Tim Tebow. In this scenario, Quinn, Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy, and Matt Simms would account for four, and they’d add one more free-agent veteran to the mix. Manish Mehta is also reporting that the Jets worked out David Garrard today. The Daily News has learned that the Jets worked out veteran free agent quarterback David Garrard on Thursday as they look to find competition for Mark Sanchez this offseason. Garrard was in Dolphins’ camp last year before being cut before the start of the regular season. Garrard, 35, played in 86 games in nine seasons with the Jaguars before getting released before the 2011 season to pave the way for first-round pick Blaine Gabbert. With the 49ers trading the list of available options at QB isn’t that long. Although it isn’t what most Jets fans want to hear, it could very well be Mark Sanchez or bust next season.

SayNoToDMC Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If the goal is the leagues worst QB depth chart we can probably just stand pat with what we already have under contract, Crazycarl arguing Brady Quinn's case by week 5 could be fun though.

Churchill Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sanchez, Quinn and a Mid-Round Draft Pick for 2013. Sounds fine to me. We're likely a bad team in 2013, clearing out Sanchez (and Ryan), and planting seeds for 2014-2017. I feel for anyone who expected us to make a big-name QB deal, or provide some real legitimate #1 competition for Sanchez is a season we're playing 18 something million we can't cut. This is about as good as we can hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What if you had decided 1940 is just going to be a sh*tty year? Grow a sack Winnie Expecting the Jets to bring in a savior at QB, whilst stuck with Sanchez's albatross-shaped lodestone around the franchises neck, is living in a dream world. Veteran retreads and mid-round draft picks in a rather mediocre QB draft class is truly the best we can expect in 2013. If you prefer to dream a dream and face the resultant dissapointment, by all means, feel free to do so. Feel free, while you're at it, to start hating Idzik now, get on that typical-fan bandwagon early. In 1940, we were losing, badly. We made horrible mistakes, like trying to save the Greeks. Like trying to save the French. Like fighting the Hun on thier terms, not ours. We turned it around not with fantasy, but through sticking out it, and biding our time, in Africa, in the Atlantic, and the Middle East, marshalling our forces, holding our own in the Battle of Britain, and sacking our ineffective Generals, and waiting.... ....waiting until we were truly re-armed from our many previous mistakes, and reinforced with new blood, by the Americans. It certainly didn't hurt that Germany invaded Russia either. In this context, the Brittish Jets will not be getting their Cap Space American help until 2014. Not 2013.

flgreen Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 From Rotoworld Updating an earlier item, free agent QB David Garrard "anticipates putting a deal together" with the Jets, while a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter "both sides are feeling good" about a potential deal.Garrard would provide cheap, experienced competition for fading "franchise quarterback" Mark Sanchez, but hasn't attempted a regular-season pass in 795 days. He turned 34 in February. Throw in his history of back issues, and it's highly unlikely Garrard would be able to hold down the fort in 2013 if he won the Jets' camp competition. He's at least an improvement on Mark Brunell and Tim Tebow. According to USA Today's Mike Garofolo, Garrard "has some interest elsewhere."

Joe Jets fan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Its terrible because he is 34 and always hurt and never been a successfull starting QB. That and he does not seem like a fit in the new offense. I really wanted to see if a trade for Flynn was possible. He has played in an west coast offense before. Just want someone who fits the new offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro55 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Gerrard isn't awful. He's light years better than Sanchez or Brady Quinn as a stop gap. He was never that good when he was younger and healthy. Now he's been hurt for years and just not that good. It's funny how some jets fans just think cause they aren't a Jet, they are better than Sanchez. Since when? Sanchez stinks, but none of these guys are upgrades. And I hate the philosophy of this is a crap year, so next year they start over with a new head coach. That philosophy makes no sense because if the Jets wind up 8-8with that crapper of a QB situation and the Revis contract situation, only a bad GM would dump Ryan at that point.

If he's not, the Jets are screwed anyway. You'd rather have Brady Quinn? You'd rather have Matt Flynn long term? If he's healthy he's a 35 year old, no longer mobile QB who hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game since 2010. If he's healthy. I'd rather Sanchez start, tank the season, and cut him when the year is over. I don't want Flynn because you have to trade for him. I'd take a flyer on Quinn because he's cheap and better than McElroy and won't ruin any future plans. Not that Garrard would, but what's the point? He poses no threat to Sanchez and couldn't beat out Tannehill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
