he's a solid starting QB who in most years is barely a top 10 QB.  he's not a HOFer unless he has some big #s seasons these next few years, he blew a golden chance this year and will be a year older.  he doesn't belong in the discussions.

 

the man has won playoff games in only 2 of his 13 seasons, never made an all pro team, 2 legit PBs, led league in INts multiple times, in SB winning years led teams w/ SB talent in weak division to 9 and 10 wins.  Sorry.

I'd take him as the Jets QB anyday

he's nowhere near a Hall of famer.  he has 1-2 HOF caliber seasons, never made an all pro team, only made a PB team 2x legitimately(w/o being 7th injury replacement) and he derailed a potential SB season this year despite having the best WR in the league to throw to.

he played well in both SB runs but the D is why they got to and won both SBs and he didn't deserve either SB MVP.  his best quality is durability but that alone doesn't get you to the Hall.

Eli MANNING won 2 Rings for the NEW YORK GIANTS. You know, owned by the family whos patriarchs nickname is on the goddamned ball...

Look at Jack Del Rio, dude was clueless in Jax then talked about as a coach of the year because he has Carr, loses Carr, gets blown out. 

 

It's been a long time since the Jets had a hard reset, and of course, the year they did there was no QB worth a sh*t coming out so we get Keyshawn freaking Johnson at #1 overall. What a joke. 

 

The endless cycle of 6-10, 9-7, 10-6, 5-11, 9-7, 8-8, 10-6 needs to end it's pointless... without purpose. It's status quo and the status quo is boring and mediocre. Want to end it?

But the only way to be in a position to reset the narrative of what this team is, is to hit the reset button. Suck. Bad. Bowles is dead man walking, anyway, but in the end, HE doesn't matter. Coaching isnt the most important thing in the NFL, having a real FRANCHISE QB is.

-highest he ever finished in pass TDs was 4th

-only finished in top 10(7th) in passer rating once

-led NFL in INTs THREE times including 2 seasons w/ 35 or more INTs(top 5 in INTs 6 times)

It's not sucking every year.  It's not sucking for Watson or Geno types.  This is a one time thing and the timing is perfect.  Elite, can't miss QB available and perfect roster to suck. 

Play the kid QB's.  Trade this year's draft picks for next year.  Don't sign free agents.  Roll over cap space.  It's perfect timing for ONE year.

Once we get our franchise QB, lets go back to 5-11 and 8-8 and build the rest of the team from there.

that's just silliness. are you saying they should fold for darnold? just like the colts with their suck for luck?  what have the colts done lately?  yeah luck is a really good qb but that team is in such a mess otherwise they're not going to be doing much in the near future.  all that losing does is breed more losing.  the only way it's good is if they play as well as they can and still lose.

There are many that know you are correct.  That the 8-8 crap is counterproductive and pointless.

The ones that don't get it... let them "rah rah" away for a 4-12 season instead of the 2-14 we hope for.

Their already crap roster is about to be gutted.  I think we are going to get what we want... without emotionally investing anything.

Those two useless wins at the end of 2014 were fabulous, weren't they?!?!

Meanwhile... they cost the Jets Marcus Mariota.

Clearly, it was worth it so you could celebrate a meaningless win.

The Jets are never good enough and never bad enough, and the years where maaaaaaaybe they are close to bad enough, the drafts never work in our favor from a positional standpoint. That's the deal you signed up for. That's what we all signed up for.

Everyone loves a Kurt Warner or Russell Wilson story because they are uncommon and they have a "anything could happen" feel to them.  It makes for a good story if you can find that non first round gem that can win you a super bowl. 

Overall Pick	Count	Number of players	Chances

After further review... my call is reversed.

I was thinking 6 total super bowl wins by players, not the actual and amazing 14 wins by 6 players out of 21 drafted number one. 

I'm doubling down on the suck. 

It's perfect next year as I posted because we can play kids, but even better when you consider Woody out of the country gives him perfect cover for the shenanigans.   Can perfect timing be even more perfect?

Also, this past year was unwatchable.  Give us a reason to watch.   If we play all the kids, we'll see effort.  Every loss will be tempered with watching the kids progress and knowledge that a franchise qb is probably on the way.

I hate this discussion.  The same tired argument on the other side.  Every year we do it their way and every year the same mediocrity or usually worse is the result.

I agree with the OP.  For once we need to go out and get the #1 overall and pray that there is a franchise QB out there to be had.  We have been down that other road and we KNOW where it leads.

Exactly.  Sucking this year does nothing at all. Sucking the year before Sam Donarld comes out gives us a chance, just a chance, but a chance, to see how it feels to have a franchise QB rather than the fifty years plus of having not. It's a QB is riches league and I would like to hit the freaking lottery one damn time! Probably won't happen but a fat bastard can dream. Can't he?

"Developing" QBs is a nonsensical notion.  QBs are born, not made.

A coach can tweak a QB here, and teach him something there.  Maybe adjust the system to suit a skill set.

But a QB is either a canvas awaiting a beautiful oil painting?  Or a piece of paper with color by numbers that a kid-friendly restaurant has for a place mat...

Qb's can be developed. Steve Young and Brett Favre both we're looking like major busts early in their career, but with a good coaching staff to develop them they become HOFers. On the other side, you have qbs like RG3 and Blake Bortles to show how a coaching staff can ruin a talented qb.

This really should not be a problem. 

[Lizard King]

Tomlin has been blessed with the greatest general manager in football. He has cut better receivers than we have drafted over the past decade. He has David Decastro on his line whom he drafted. He has begun a rebuilt backfield to replace Polamalu and doesn't seem to have lost a beat. His linebacker corps is fast and tough. LeVeon Bell is out of his mind. 

Theyre just slightly more prepped than you give them credit for and they do it by finishing first or second in their division almost every year. 

Lastly I wouldn't trust this franchise if we had been given Andrew Luck. We would have ruined it. I'm not even kidding. 

[Lizard King]

The only two quarterbacks that the Jets have actually developed properly were Joe Namath and Tom Brady. Namath because of Weeb and Brady because we gave him his chance to start and the. sucked balls for the last 20 years.

I hate this discussion.  The same tired argument on the other side.  Every year we do it their way and every year the same mediocrity or usually worse is the result.

I agree with the OP.  For once we need to go out and get the #1 overall and pray that there is a franchise QB out there to be had.  We have been down that other road and we KNOW where it leads.

The arguments are tired.  I can see having this discussion at the end of a season when things are going wrong.  For instance from the bye (or maybe as far as the Cards game) onward this past year.  The season is already lost and you should see what you have in your young kids rather than scrapping to get every last win when it will only hurt draft position.  Tanking from before the draft?  Among the dumbest ideas I have heard.  Some of us have been down this road.  Twice.  In a row.  It didn't solve sh*t.
