Bruce Harper

If we're gonna try to trade for some old guy how about the LT from Washington.

In all seriousness, he was one of the big reasons I’m a Jets fan. Really fun to watch and seems like a good guy. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

He did draft a left tackle (a very good one) high in the first round. Emphasis on OL would be a welcome change. Also, I don't think you can kill him for drafting Quinn. Late first is always a crapshoot for a QB.

Parcels was a great coach but not a good GM. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

I was just talking about speed. Agreed that Dortch is a better player. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

I'm not sure it's necessary to take all these shots at him on his way out. He played some of his best ball for the Jets and was an excellent mentor to Darnold, or at least gave his utmost to help him along. I wouldn't mind being the type of "scrub" who could make a very good living in the league for seventeen years.

Good point. Dortch probably too small to do anything but return on special teams.

I personally think he's the biggest reason he came. He has seemed quite excited about him in the interviews that I have seen. As a new GM, you have to be measured in your praise. Don't want to seem like a fan boy.

Dortch and the kid from BC are both in the same ballpark, if I recall correctly. And Dortch plays faster on film. Edit: I didn't trust my memory so I looked at it. Dortch is a reported 4.49 at his pro day to Cannon's reported 4.4 but as I mentioned, Dortch is extremely shifty, has good hands and plays very fast. Jeff Smith's reported 4.34 is faster than Cannon's. Maybe I overstated it but if he is going to make the team as a returner he is going to have to catch the ball and a guy who can return punts in addition to kickoffs brings more versatility to the team. When we drafted Cannon I wasn't happy to find that he hadn't returned punts in college. Not a good sign.

There are other guys on the roster with similar speed and return ability who can actually catch a punt. This management did not overdraft him and therefore they have no loyalty to him. I think Cannon's out of luck with four better RBs ahead of him.

It's fun to be provocative, I know. He is going to be a top 7 QB, maybe better. He's already better than Mariota. We will see it unfold this year. And he will get even better as Douglas builds an OL for him to play behind.

Happy Birthday!
