Could MacCagnan and Savage recreate in NY what Ron Wolf and Brett Favre did in Green Bay years ago?

 

I have zero insight into this, but what if Savage was a MacCagnan guy? To have played a big role in scouting him, then coming to the Jets in a GM role, could acquiring Savage to be our guy be inevitable? 

 

There are so many stories about how close the Jets came to having top tier QBs over the last few decades. We're due to come out on the right side of one of these stories. No?

It's actually something to think about as it looks like Mallet will be the Texans starter. I don't know much about Savage but IF Big Mac scouted him and liked him it could be a possibility that we try to trade a late round pick. Savage was drafted in the 4th round he is 6'5"

I don't want to waste any picks but if Mac thinks he is better than any of the late round prospects and we don't take a QB in the first 3-4 rounds then why not.

STRENGTHS Terrific size. Sets with balance. Easy, compact, high three-quarters release. Spins a catchable ball. Excellent arm strength to complete NFL throws -- capable of sticking outs from the deep hash or launching balls 60 yards on the money. Experience in pro-style offense. Smart and hardworking. Solid personal and football character. Has tools to work with. Team captain.

WEAKNESSES Needs to speed up his clock and show better awareness in the pocket. Needs to quicken his eyes, expand his field vision and learn to manipulate safeties. Tends to stare down his target. Forces some throws into traffic. Erratic accuracy. Slow of foot -- not a scramble threat. Can improve play-action fake. Had some duds -- struggled against Florida State, Virginia and Virginia Tech. Mental toughness needs to be looked into.

Draft Analysis:

"I think this is a great fit for the Texans. He's got a hose. His arm is any bit as good as Logan Thomas' or Zach Mettenberger's. He took a beating at Pitt, but he continued to stand in the pocket. He's a natural thrower of the football. He's got all the mechanics, so now it's all about developing the kid's ability." -- Mike Mayock

Some of the same highlights repeated several times. Poor choice of tape on the guy. He is rated as a fourth round prospect by most scouts. He has some good qualities but Bryce Petty is the guy I want in the second round to unseat Geno.

 

Savage was drafted last year.

He transferred out of Rutgers found a home at Pittsburgh- most Rutgers fans I know hated him

 

I don't think anyone knows what the hell really happened between him and Schiano. What we do know is that he was treated like a godsend and then Schiano decides to start running the wildcat out of nowhere, putting them in 3rd and long all the time and then he blamed it on Savage for not getting them out of it every time. Then Savage injures his hand and Schiano refused to let him try to win the job back when he recovered, then Savage starts thinking about leaving so Schiano sabotages that effort and blocks him from speaking to Florida schools...etc. Just a bunch of bizarre sh*t over the course of a year. It's a shame, because he was the highest rated QB prospect in the history of the school and he looked like he got his act together when he got to Pitt with all the nonsense behind him. I sure as hell would have taken him over Nova that last year.

Yes everything fell apart for him at Rutgers- hard to understand really why it happened.

Brett Hundley QB UCLA in the 2nd round.  

 

This kid is Randell Cunningham reincarnated.

 

Have Hundley Foles and Geno battle it out.  Grab a stud LT at pick 20 from the eagles, play him at RT and slide Giacomini inside to RG.

 

Restructure Harvin, sign Spiller,  sign REVIS for 3-4 years, Sign Jason Worlids OLB

That's a demanding second post.

Why the past tense?

 

It's true. The general thinking was that he was a quitter and a primadonna that didn't want to have to earn his job. You have to understand that 99% of RU fans worshiped everything Schiano did until he left and all the details came out about some of the sh*t about his tenure, then watching him go to Tampa and go full megalomaniac. All of a sudden some of the rumors that a lot of people were denying for a long time seemed a lot more realistic.

Yeah.  I never really hated him.  I just thought it was a shame.  I don't blame any of these kids for doing whatever they can to get ahead. One thing has always been constant: Coaches are ******* crazy.
