No. This board, in my opinion, has taken a downturn since the season ended. And I don't see it getting better. The QB situation has been very divisive.

I hate the reference to JI, because that place became very, very toxic, IMO. But the pendulum is appearing to swing that way a bit. Which sucks. No..it is definitely not always this toxic. This QB situation has divided us. It's a lose-lose scenario right now. Neither guy is a franchise QB, but one of 'em is, in all likelihood, gonna start the season. Hell, both of them might play at different points this season. And, unless one of 'em lights the league on fire, everybody is loving life at 11-5, and the wrong side doesn't care if they were wrong, this will all morph into I-told-you-sos. And we all know the likelihood of everybody loving life at 11-5. Lose-lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unhelpful at that. Why is it supposed to be a good thing that the guy who used to have a pedigree turned into a projection? Is that also in the film?

I'm simply telling you why the jets drafted hackenberg in the second round. you don't have to believe it if you don't want to, but the people in charge believed the upside was great enough to warrant a second round pick. and if you really looked into it, you might find that there's enough reasonable doubt to at least cloud your position that the prospect has no chance at success. realistically though it's going to be at least a year before we know much of anything about this player but I do believe if the talent is there then it can be salvaged. but I guess being snarky is more fun than being patient, so suit yourself Ms. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's safe to assume that Woody is a meddling dope whose input has been toxic to the franchise since he stepped foot into it, it at least appears that he's left Maccagnan alone so far. He'd be the common thread. That said, the Woody stamp would have been locking Fitzpatrick up long-term, I'd think. 42 minutes ago, afosomf said: Dive for Deshaun If we're being real, going 4-12 this year and being in position to draft Watson (or whoever the Big QB is) is the most realistic path to future success at this point, IMO. Banking on Hackenberg, or Geno, or Petty--which it seems they're doing--looks like a suicide mission. The question is, then, does Maccagnan have the security to draft a QB high after drafting Petty and Hackenberg? 36 minutes ago, Villain The Foe said: Looks can be deceiving when the fanbase is generally so pessimistic.

The Jets fans will hate what the front office does no matter what, and the only thing that will suffice is a superbowl, and im beginning to even doubt that. I didn't meant that Macc needed to sign either Fitzpatrick or Wilkerson, but it would have behooved him and the franchise to resolve at least one of them sooner. If he's not going to sign Wilkerson, he should have traded Wilkerson. If he's only going to offer Fitz $8 mil--or if he wants to move on from Fitz, he should have been more definitive about it back in April. Instead, he and his coach have repeatedly guaranteed Fitzpatrick the starting job "when" he re-signs. With Wilkerson, he's going to let him play out his deal and try to recoup a comp pick, which they'll likely burn by signing Drew Brees next offseason. I like Maccagnan, but the concerns that the job is too big for him are kinda playing out here. Where Idzik was too much of an accountant who was playing the long game, Maccagnan seems to be too much of a scout who might be painting the franchise into a corner. Looking two years down the line here, the offense is going to be Hackenberg to Devin Smith and...Charone Peake(?) 34 minutes ago, PatsFanTX said: Past performance is always a very good indicator of future results.

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Hackenberg has looked “like a typical rookie” during OTAs thus far – that is to say sloppy and inexperienced. Cimini describes his footwork as “robotic” and said his passes are prone to missing high and being inaccurate. Cimini goes on to describe one workout where Hackenberg twice threw over the head of his tight end on 15-yard pass attempts with no defense on the field. Coach Todd Bowles isn’t worried about his rookie. “Right now I expect him to look sloppy because he’s seeing a whole boat load of defenses that are coming at him daily, and there’s going to be a growth period,” Bowles said. Cimini notes that second-year quarterback Bryce Petty hasn’t looked a whole lot better, so he doesn’t appear to be an option either. So that leaves Geno Smith, who is currently penciled in as the team’s starter. With all this in mind, perhaps the Jets should reconsider whether they really want to move on from their pursuit of Ryan Fitzpatrick – or maybe consider an option such as this to supplant Smith as the team’s starter.

Not because Lynch is the next Hercules, but because taking that "1st round QB" is a statement and catalyst for hope. Drafting Hackenberg in the 2nd round was, risky... bold maybe....
