So, the NFL game is changing. Will the Jets be ready?

I'm watching Jacoby Brissett v Mariota right now and it appears that the NFL is evolving away from the statue guys at QB in order to accommodate all of the spread concept QBs coming out of college, which is cool and will help add more QB talent to a league desperate for it. With an OL talent progressively in decline, with freak pass rushers consistently getting freakier, and with most young pocket passers opting to become relief pitchers instead, it seems inevitable that the future looks a lot more like Russell Wilson than it does Tom Brady.

As an older, Gen-X douche, I've long argued that these dudes won't make it in the NFL because their legs get wrecked and 50% of their game goes to hell within three years, as with most RBs. But with Deshaun Watson, Mariota, Prescott, etc all starting to take over the league, and with Brady, Brees, Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger in steep decline, I'm guessing that the future is here and it looks like Chip Kelly's Oregon offenses.

Possible, but haven't they been saying since Vick's rookie season that this was the way the NFL was going and the days of the pocket passer were done?  How long ago was that?  15 years?  

Either way, will the Jets be ready?  Probably not.

They've been saying it, iirc, since Randall Cunningham and it's never happened, but I've come to believe that has more to do with the coaching fraternity being a group of 55+ year old retreads who studied under Lombardi.

Could be. Even if it goes that way, it'll eventually evolve back again, and the Jets will still be looking for a QB.

I guess anything is possible. There's always the SF connection. And the Jets still have their hand on on their crotch, with the wrong safety to boot.

They won't do it, but the Jets could justifiably throw their next three drafts at the Colts for Luck and it would be fine.

wait, are we back to enjoying the NFL?

yesterday watching was like getting a face full of rock salt

the running QB always gets caught eventually. 

I've concluded that nothing is worse than watching a football game--pro, college, high school--where one team has a plus QB and the other team has Charlie Whitehurst. It's like watching True Detective Season Two where Colin Farrell had to carry scenes with Rachel McAdams. Heartbreaking. And that's the story of the NFL for the past 15+ years.

Forget Watson for a second and just limit it to DBs. Hooker and Lattimore both look better than Adams. What a complete cluster****.

I've long maintained that NFL defensive success is solely about sacks and turnovers. Adams is athletic and scrappy and all that, but if he's not gonna factor into sacking the QB or picking people off, he's meh

I mean he didnt do either of those things in college. Gronk abusing him yesterday was really, really bad. Aside from the Miami game- Adams has been awful.

It's all a limp dick with no viagra refills on the script without a legit edge rusher.

Best--BEST--case was Polamalu-lite and I don't know if even that kind of player is as useful anymore.
