Jetster Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 There are a lot of fans on this site that pan any ideas regarding the QB. I don't get it. Don't you realize the GM is working with the cards he's been dealt? Some of you think there is QB hiding under a rock somewhere & they just haven't found him,lol. The QBs available are all there is. McCown? OMG NO! Hoyer? OMG NO! Bradford? OMG NO! Sanchez? OMG NO! Trade for Foles? OMG NO! Locker? OMG NO! Draft Winston? What r u CRAZY! Draft Mariota? I'm not waiting that long! It's a joke! I seriously don't understand why some people that post here even watch this team. Just do something else, rake your lawn, spend Sundays with your kids. It's a f*cking game! such miserable bastards.

I'm sure that's why you responded, you must have felt guilty of something. But why don't you tell us all what YOU WOULD DO if you ran the team. QB? WRs? Who would u add LBs? Free agents Oline ? CBs? Please respond so we can dismiss all of your ideas as coming from a deranged imbecile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please respond so we can dismiss all of your ideas as coming from a deranged imbecile. Don't want winston, or really Mariotta.. Best case scenario by far that I've seen floated is the Eagles trade down, would take a shot with Foles next year and pick up best WR available @20, assuming one of top 3 are still available I think we are more or less painted into a corner at QB, would prefer a young guy who has a chance to get better or stay healthy (Bradford, Glennon, Mallet, etc) over someone like McCown I don't follow college football beyond the post season, but either way we need to grab someone in rounds 2-4 and try and develop them. It's very likely to be ugly next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 OP is Flawed Reasoning. No one poo poos ALL ideas. We all simply have our own preferences. I, for example, strongly poo poo the "draft Marriota/Winston" idea. But I strongly support the "Veteran JAG #1, Mid-Round Draft Pick #2" concept. Others think the reverse. But I've not noticed anyone who is actually against ALL the possible options. That would just be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I agree with OP. Incremental improvement is better than none. Obviously holding out for perfection hasn't worked too hot for us.

JustInFudge Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm just hoping Mac and Bowles can figure out a way to eliminate the QB position altogether because the Jets will never find a good one. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people understand we need to upgrade and get the best QB we can - knowing he's not going to be star....but that QB is not going to win you a Super Bowl. The talk about finding a franchise QB is what will be required to truly compete for a championship...While this year we take what we can get - we do need a continued search for greatness and should keep trying - keep drafting QB's until you find one. Although at this point it would be welcomed, we can not settle for mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTL Jet Fan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Maybe it's the OP who is the miserable one. There have been plenty of suggestions and opinions about various QB's to bring in and all posters express their opinions. I thought that's what this board is about. I think there has been plenty of good suggestions about our options at QB and of course not everyone is going to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papz187 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We may have to wait til the 2016 draft for our future QB and go with a vet and Geno this year. We'll see what Mac can do with the cards he was dealt. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the meantime, you upgrade the position anyway possible even if its slight and hope they turn out. The bottom line when you're a team like the Jets is, if there is someone available whether its via draft or free agency and they're better than what you got, you get that player and hope for the best.

Ex-Rex Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Trade for Foles? OMG NO! A trade for Foles may be the only reasonable option the team has. I agree with most of your OMG no selections, but Foles can be an effective starting QB. When you consider the other option is Geno Smith - which makes me cringe - Foles looks like a fine option. I would NOT give up more than a third round pick for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think anyone would say that. What they would say is they perceive a superior option as either continuing development of who they already have (the "just one more year" defense) where your existing bad QB may be better than a newly signed JAG or risky draft pick OR signing/drafting an alternative player to the player being discussed (the "Don't draft THAT Guy, Sign THIS guy" defense). No one, and I stress no one, says "it's ok we suck, I prefer not to try and improve at all at QB till the next Manning is available". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
