AFJF Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Jets did not win their 8th game in week 4 yesterday, they won their second. In all likelihood they'll only win 2-3 more games the rest of the way and they'll be in the top five or able to easily move up a few slots in to the top 5. Some of the teams likely to finish ahead of the Jets won't be shopping for a QB SF- Gonna' sign Cousins Chi- Just took Trubisky at 2 Colts- Luck Cleveland will be in the mix, and if there's one thing history has shown us, it's that the Browns always take the right guy in the first round. In summary, the Jets will probably be 3-2 after next week but then life is good for you guys once again as not many wins remain on the schedule. Enjoy the wins, there won't be many....then enjoy the draft when they get a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got enough bickering, but in all reality, things are going well for both crowds. We get to watch a few wins en route to a franchise QB. 2-2 doesn't necessarily mean 8-8.

CrazyCarl40 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I fully expect the Giants, Chargers, Cardinals, Redskins, Bills and more to be looking for a future franchise QB. There is a lot more competition for the top QBs in the 2018 NFL draft rather than the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Let's see.... Browns, Dolphins, Saints Chargers, Bucs, maybe Panthers? All potentially winnable games. That would leave us conservatively at around 6-10 and around a 7th or 8th pick in round 1. We can always use another CB, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If the 49ers could get a CA QB on a cheap 5 year contract, they will do that and not pay Cousins that money. If they pick top 2, they get one. I like Cousins on the Jets with a 2 year guarantee, and we can continue to sift through the rubble for 2nd round and below successors. Would rather not do Cousins and 1st round QB, but could happen. Cousins on a big money 1 year deal could work if that is the case. But the Jets could do that and end up with a RB, edge rusher, etc. Khalil Mack was picked 5th. I think the Jets saw first hand in Bortles the downside to reaching for a QB at the top of the first round. Given their other needs, if there is not a sure thing QB available when the Jets pick I don't see them reaching for a QB. Signing a Cousins or Garapollo makes that easier to avoid and still produce a competitive team in 2018, especially if Enunwa comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It's funny watching people freak out over the Jets being 2-2 because they aren't losing enough and may or may not be able to get a 21 year old kid out of college who may or may not declare and who may or may not be good...

ChuckkieB Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 In a year that the Jets SHOULD be tanking, they are about to be 3-2 after beating the hapless Browns next week. There is no way that any Jets fan can be happy about this. Yes, their schedule gets much tougher as the season moves along, and there aren't too many more wins on the schedule after next week, but watching the team win meaningless games against garbage teams which further diminishes their chances of getting a top 2 pick in 2018 gives me no joy whatsoever. Beat the Pats. Beat the Chiefs. Beat the Broncos. That will impress me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't getting him on a two year guarantee as stop gap. If you sign cousins you're saying he's our guy for next 5-7 years.He's getting a huge contract.

We're not catching up with the 0-4 Giants anytime soon. There's no such thing as a win-win. Either you're in the "let's win 6 games and have some fun!" camp or you're in the "# 1 pick or bust" camp.

This franchise has done a spectacular job, historically, of winning games in Weeks 15-17 to ruin our draft pick slot. I'll believe what you're saying when I see it. As it stands, we're in no-mans land. We're not a contender, yet we've already won too many games to realistically get a Top 2 pick. Because we all know we're not going 0-12 the rest of the way. This is the worst possible start to the season. This is not good news. You won't get anyone to agree we're getting the "best of both worlds". And to make matters worse, someone will quote this post and say "root for another team then". Because evidently only "real fans" want the 6th pick every single year.
