Hackenberg is in the HOUSE!!!

That's pretty optimistic for a QB prospect whom was said of: "One coach said C.Hackenberg couldn’t escape pressure, identify blitzes, release it quickly, anticipate throws or pass downfield accurately."

That's alot to undo despite being "wired for a pro offense." He not only needs to run a pro offense, he needs to learn to play well against a pro defense. Thats more than a year's worth of teaching IMO. Heck, its not unreasonable to foresee it taking next season just to make Hackenberg unlearn all his bad habits that he accumulated since O'Brien left.

who is the coach? rex ryan? we have no idea who said this......

Look Mac is taking a chance that Hack can be the Qb they thought he was 3 years ago when he was the best Qb prospect in the country and a potential franchise Qb. They obviously think there were circumstances and reasons why he regressed. They did their due diligence on him so ok. Let's go with it.

And which OT would you have taken seeing as all of the ones worth taking in the first three rounds were gone?

As I mentioned in other posts I like LeRaven Clark from Texas Tech. 6'6" 315 was a 3 year all BIG 12 1st teamer at LT for Tech.

It's not even that much of a risk, it was a late 2nd round pick. All these tools are acting like we just gave up two drafts to move up to 1 to get him.

It was a risk when you consider they could have drafted a plug and play player in the 2nd round to fill a position of need. Just what the Bills did with Ragland.

No risk, no reward. But let's take it easy with the magnitude of the risk. Jet fans scream daily about getting a QB, our scouts like a QB, and everyone is throwing a hissy fit because they know more, yet are amazingly not yet employed by any NFL teams

Well a 2nd round pick is pretty high. And we did it in 2013 to draft Geno. Actually at that time Geno was higher rated and for a time in his senior season he was considered to be a top ten pick. Idzik thought he was worth it in the 2nd round and many experts thought it was a good pick value wise considering how far down it was. But he wasn't ready to start his rookie season. That was the mistake not drafting him.

So we should have reached for a developmental tackle but its not ok for mac to reach for a developmental QB that he liked?

Fitztragic is not going to be a jet next season. Scheftler just said they haven't even spoken in weeks and that fitztragic would rather retire.

Smokescreen. I can't see a player who still has something left, leaving eight million on the table and simply walking away because the team won't give him "stupid money". He will play for someone this season, maybe not the Jets, but if it not the Jets he will play for less.

Not sure if it's been asked/mentioned yet, but if we didn't take Hack in the 2nd, wouldn't the Pats have taken him?  Considering they needed a QB and Hack has successfully run a similar system his freshman year.

that's an excellent question.  you'd have to think if the pats wanted him, belly would have chatted with o'brien.  if the pats took him the pick would be unilaterally praised.

Clark STARTED for 3 yrs. at LT and was ALL BIG 12 for each of those 3 yrs. Much more of a plug and play guy than Hackensack who was rated UNDRAFTABLE by one draft site as posted here.

After watching a bunch of this guys film all of the hard characteristics to find are there.  He seems to understand the game, he's smart, has the right measurables, strong arm, can make every throw, he's a leader from what i read with a high football IQ.  The only thing is that he appears to be lazy on the field.  His footwork is sloppy and he almost never sets his feet when he throws.  Once he runs (which happens often because his o line is terrible) he stops looking down field and passes the line of scrimmage despite having limited athleticism.  when he drops back he doesn't lift his feet that much and the effort on his footwork just seems half hearted as if he doesn't really want to drop back, he just wants to throw the ball.

I can see why the Jets want to take a shot with him.  If you have all of the smarts and football intelligence mixed with the size and strength, the ability to call protections and truly understand the game thats more than half the battle.  It looks like he just physically has to work on his technique so it's no wonder why our team thinks they can work on his physical ability.  It will take time for him to retrain his brain into moving his body in disciplined ways in the heat of the moment when the defense is coming at him.  It will take time but you never know.

The only question i have is, Is this guy gonna be a quarterback or is he more of one of those guys who is better served being a coach down the road because he just a leader who mentally grasps the game so well.  It's a strange thing to have all of that physical talent and not put it together.

100+ sacks will do that to a guy.

Through 36 games over his three seasons at Penn State, Hackenberg has gotten up from 101 sacks, missing only a handful of plays. Following the Lions' 28-16 loss to Michigan, Hackenberg was asked whether it was difficult to keep getting up. "Nah," he said.

Pats would never take a QB who barely completes half of his passes.

Literally no one wants to tie the Jets to the Mets. No one. Stop. 

Yes. Just because they once played in the same stadium, have rhyming names, look to 1969 as the franchise's crowning glory and are the "second child" to original mystique teams in their respective sports is no reason to tie them together
