Jets Reportedly Want Trubisky

[bostonmajet]

He didn't even list a 'unnamed source' this time. And he covered his butt with the 'plenty can change'. So, he made up a story and covered his butt on the prediction. I guess it is easier than actually doing any work/reporting.

Nothing to see here.

i guess right now trubitsky and the kid from clemson are the best qb's in the draft.  i just don't see how the jets can justify picking another qb with their first pick considering all of the other positions they need to fill as well as having petty and hack on the team.  it's too early to tell but maybe petty will pan out enough so they don't have to find another vet to start the season with.  and then the problem becomes how much of an upside will a draft pick have over what you already have.  qb's should improve markedly adter a couple of seasons starting.  some get it sooner than others.

the other question is can trubitsky offer himself in the draft and then not sign and re-enter the following year?

Are you saying the Jets have THE ITCH FOR MITCH?, or that Manish is making THE PITCH FOR MITCH?  Maybe Petty will start, but struggle and we'll MAKE THE SWITCH TO MITCH!  He could be wildly inconsistent, posing the question of WHICH MITCH? will show up on Sunday.  Things could start going bad, and we could have a MITCH GLITCH on our hands.  Or, are you worried he'll bust and we'll have to DITCH MITCH!  But, don't be so negative, maybe MITCH FINDS HIS NICHE as the Jets signal caller.  If he does, he'll probably get another contract and be a RICH MITCH!

I'll show myself out.

If he runs a good 40 we can call him FAST TWITCH MITCH

The hackenberg pick is just ridiculous. Nobody was going for him in the 2nd. Because exactly like petty, he was a long project qb who may or may not be starter caliber.. You certainly don't pick 2 qbs like that back to back.. Now you may actually be in a position to draft a good one, and either don't because of petty and hack, or you do and waste those guys..

My take on this?

Makes the Hackenberg pick look even worse.

The Jets scouting department doesn't know a Quarterback from a Humpback whale....

Note: I have NOT scouted Trubisky yet.  I am better at this than the Jets are.

When you watch him, I think you'll come to my conclusion...he needs at least 3 more years of college. Not impressed.

[David Harris]

I'm fine with the Hackenberg pick last year and I'm fine with a top 6 pick QB this year. I'm fine with it even if petty lights it up.  Even if we sign Glennon.  We go nowhere without finding a QB so devote any and all resources you want.  

 

[SR24]

The draft where the Jets have a great pick is the draft where there's not one elite olineman. WHY

[FTL Jet Fan]

Apparently Cleveland does also, Manish is a douche!!!! 

[BRONX DUDE]

Will be an undrafted free agent.  No zip on the ball in his highlights.

blah

[flgreen]

This is a total BS story.

 

Jets have two young developmental QB's on the team that this regime drafted.  You don't add a third unless he is a 100% can't miss prospect.

That isn't Tubby for sure 

[varjet]

This is moot.  The Jets pick too late.  The Browns or Niners will take him.

The Jets’ never-ending search for a franchise quarterback has taken them to Tobacco Road, where a guy you've probably never heard of might be the answer to their problems.

The word in NFL circles is that Woody Johnson's star-crossed franchise has the hots for North Carolina junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Plenty can change in the next four months, but Gang Green is extremely intrigued by the athletic, strong-armed signal caller who hasn't even officially declared for the 2017 draft yet.

They got their eyes set on the North Carolina quarterback," one rival scout told the Daily News. "The Jets are all over this kid. All over him. They'll probably deny it if you ask, but they love that kid. That's their guy. They're not going to get him though, because I think that kid is going to get over-drafted."

The NFL draft world is littered with armchair general managers churning out endless mock drafts, but it's no secret that Mike Maccagnan & Co. are in the market for a quarterback. There's a growing sense on One Jets Drive that the future franchise signal caller doesn't reside in the building.

Rookie Christian Hackenberg isn't close to being ready to play in a real game, prompting questions about the wisdom of selecting him in the second round eight months ago.

Bryce Petty kicked off his four-game audition with an uneven performance in a come-from-behind win in San Francisco a few days ago, but team decision makers aren’t sold that he's the right guy for the job in 2017.

"Trying to train a quarterback in the fire… that's not the way you get it done," said Charley Casserly, who consulted Johnson in his search for a new coach and general manager two years ago. "You got to get it done in the offseason and bring him in and build him up. That's the ideal way to do it. Obviously, they're going to play (Petty) for four games and see how he progresses and then make the decision."

 

"Anything he does would NOT influence my draft decision," Casserly added. "That's my opinion. If there's a quarterback in a round you like, I'd take him anyway. The more, the merrier and we'll figure this thing out. It doesn't seem like there's a guy in the draft where they're picking (in the first round) that is the answer to the problem unfortunately."

The 4-9 Jets are positioned to get a Top 6 pick in a draft with a mediocre quarterback class. Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer, Clemson's Deshaun Watson and Trubisky are the headliners right now, but the evaluation process hasn't kicked into hire gear. (A few years ago, Geno Smith was considered the No. 1 overall pick by some at this point on the NFL calendar).

The Jets have yet to meet as an organization to discuss juniors or set internal grades.

"Last year when I watched Goff, I said there's no way this guy is the first pick in the draft," one personnel director said. "But you just never know."

Sounds like another Browning Nagle .

I just can't see the jets drafting someone who can't make an impact right away.  They need highly drafted players to start day 1 with the holes we have.

[fltflo]

Just a note on this kid, my Canes play him this year and the guy has serious potential.
Yet , if he is smart he will stay on school another year gather more starting experience and raIse his draft stock to the next level for the 2019 draft.
BTW my Canes did beat his team.

An article in mid December claiming the jets are locked onto any prospect for April is nonsense.

According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, there's a "growing sense" that the Jets' future franchise quarterback is not on the team's current roster.

We wonder how long it took the Jets to arrive at this rather obvious conclusion. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith won't be re-signed while second-round pick Christian Hackenberg still isn't close to being game-ready. That leaves Bryce Petty, who hasn't done much to move the needle in his first two NFL starts. The Jets are reportedly interested in North Carolina junior Mitch Trubisky, who could be a first-round pick if he declares for the draft. That decision will come shortly after UNC's bowl game on December 30. Regardless, the Jets will certainly be in the market for a quarterback this offseason.

[Shadetree]

For **** sake, can we please get a pass rusher in here!?

i want to see more of petty. Saturday's weather is gonna suck so , come Sunday morning, we won't know anything new on the petty front either. One of the biggest mistakes this year, IMO, was not starting petty 3 weeks earlier; at the end of the year, we won't know sh*t about our QBs.

[pdxgreen]

We've already go two huge projects on the team.  The only reason we would add another arm is to give Petty competition this upcoming summer.  This team has gigantic holes to flll and QB is the last position we should waste our highest draft pick on.

I can only imagine how one would evaluate him if he was found to have a poor attitude.

Or ever spoke poorly of teammates behind their backs.

Or if we were to ever sustain an injury that caused a need for the closing of a wound.

Not sure where you're going with this...

I get a strong sense that the beat writers are putting out feelers for what the narrative of the offseason should be.

Another qb? Are you kidding me

No problem with drafting a QB high, but give Hack a chance.

[joewilly12]

3 games left in the season lets see Petty 1 more game then Hackenberg the last 2 games or even a QB rotation we need to evaluate them both so we know what direction we need to go in.

biggest mistake was keeping 4 QB's, while ignoring petty and Hack's development.  they should have cut geno and stashed petty and given all the back up reps to Hack and he would probably be getting invaluable game reps right now

The bIggest mistake was resigning Fitzpatrick did the organization not one bit of good. 

[BroadwayJoe12]

Have never seen him play, but the reason that I know he's going to be the real deal is simple: the jets were abysmal this year, but won just enough games not to draft him. So we'll draft jabril peppers or some bullsh*t and add Trubisky and Kizer to the list with Mariota.  #learninghowtowin #winningculture #shootmenow

This is what sucks about when a jerk writer fabricates a story, other outlets pick it up because Mehta said it, the consumer sees it in several publications/blogs next thing you know the story is given credibility.  

"Everybody can't be wrong", even though the story is based on a fabricated " scout"  from another team who has no access to the Jets FO.  LOL
