Ok so lets imagine they draft a TE at 6 but they don't have a QB to feed this player, why exactly would OJ howard stay in NY after his rookie contract is up? Because he likes the color green? Hackenberg isn't going to become amazing cause OJ Howard shows up. In fact Hackenberg is probably closer to being cut than he is to starting for this football team. 

These guys aren't Jets fans they do what is right for his career. OJ Howard could waste his career in NY without a QB.  

And NO Mac cannot go winless and keep his job and the reason I know that is because Woody hasn't extended either the GM or the HC. If you don't extend these guys before a tank they will be fired as a course of the tank. 

 

by the way nothing Bowles has done as coach has been as incompetent as Mac's second round pick of Hackernberg.  It's easy to draft Leonard Williams at 6. If Mac doesn't find a QB, and soon, he's done. 

Imagine they draft a TE at 6...

Then before the 7th pick of the NFL draft is announced, Maccagnan is fired by the Jets. Then by around the 15th pick that same day he's hired by Comedy Central.

does mac and bowles have long leash where they dont have to draft another quarterback and risk until next year? they might get desperate for qb this draft.

first off we might not like the QBs but clearly there's some smoke coming out of Florham that they like the QBs. The same sources who said Mac liked Trubisky also said Mac liked Hackenberg. 

The draft isn't about what you or I want to happen. It's about predicting what the teams will do. 

 

secondly, if Trubisky or Watson were perfect prospects they don't stay on the board for 6. they go 1 and 2 like every other year. clearly these are not perfect prospects. but waiting for the perfect prospect we will  all grow old and die waiting for that player, cause there is no perfect prospect. 

as for QB, the way things are now with the new CBA, these guys are cheap. It's not like Sanchez pick where the franchise invests 50 million dollars into that player and has to give him the job. 

Draft a QB, and if he doesn't work out draft another one. Or if Hack suddenly becomes amazing they have trade bait.  I refuse to believe that the Jets need to "protect" Hack's development by passing on another QB. In other words giving this player the job like they gave it to Sanchez and Geno.

 

Let them compete! Why is that so crazy? 

 

Well said my friend.  +1

I'll say it again, the "perfect" outcome for 2017 is:

1. Petty (or Hack)

2. Hack (or Petty)

3. A Draft Pick (#6 Watson or Trubisky, or 2nd Rounder Mahomes, or 4th rounder Peterman, whatever/whomever the Coach and Front Office think best)

No wasted spots on a guy with no upside who should never see the field (McCown) and brings nothing to the party.  If the kids need mentoring, hire a god damn Coach to mentor them, not a roster spot player.

Prospects, prospects, prospects.  Give one a chance, and move on if they do not perform.  Develop the other two behidn the guy getting the chance.  Rinse and repeat till we find one, and if this GM can't seem to find one, find a new GM and a new Head Coach who can.

The problem is that it is very likely neither will be there at #6, with at least three of the five teams ahead of the Jets looking for future QBs, Jets are probably going to go with Lattimore or that safety whose name I forgot

The Jets have permission to draft three players at 6 in this order:

Garrett

Watson

Thomas

That's broken logic. So you can't draft an offensive player until you have a QB, because...why? Wouldn't it be more intelligent to draft offensive talent and then put a QB in place when he has weapons and an OLine?  And who the hell cares what OJ Howard wants or what color he likes? That's why there is a draft, franchise tags, guaranteed dollars and other CONTROLS to restrict player movement. I don't care a bit about what they want. They signed up to play in the NFL, this is what they signed up for.

As to Hack being cut vs starting? Huh? Considering he's a 2nd year player coming off a red shirt season that we all knew he was taking, that seems a bit strange to even say. He's cheap, young and has upside. We will see how he looks this year at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Woody told us he doesn't expect us to be good right now and that Macc and Bowles will be judged on things beyond the teams record. And blasting a GM for taking a shot on a high ceiling player in the 2nd round is what? A fireable offense? LOL. No it's not. Macc hasn't done a bad job.  And are you not giving him credit for taking Leonard Williams?  Seriously? Do you know how much balls it took to draft OVER the most talented unit of the team and eschew other positons in the 1st round? People wanted him to take Flowers or Peat or Bud Dupree or Kevin White. But no. It's easy to look at a depleted roster and say...eff it....we don't need help at those critical positions more than we need another DE in a 3-4.  Also didn't we get confirmation that Hack was going to be taken in the 3rd round? But Jets are wrong for reaching for a QB in the 2nd that wouldn't make it back to them? And then you say if Macc does NOT find a QB soon...he's done?  No he hasn't hit on every pick. But no GM does. What he has done is point us in the right direction for once.  Now the question is can he stick to his plan and actually shape the course of the franchise through the draft.  Considering he's found us starters in Williams, Mauldin, Lee, Jenkins, and what looks like Burris and Shell...and has some interesting talent percolating like Robbie Anderson....WHILE getting 2 developmental QBs for us to develop....that's not incompetence.  It's pretty much average.  Now if he can't find a good coach to actually develop the talent...that's a problem.  But oh wait...he doesn't control the coaching side of the equation because we are the NEW YORK F**KING JETS and we are a trainwreck run by an imbecile.

Finally....what HAS Bowles done as a coach?  Besides somehow finding a way to regress.....which is mindblowing btw.

Yeah kinda like when Cincy drafted AJ Green with no QB in the 1st round WTF were they thinking, and the balls on them to think they could find a QB early in the 2nd round to complement AJ Green.
