Elway can do whatever he wants, Mac can't got it. Mac drafted a developmental QB in hopes of him becoming the guy; considering we were as bad as we have been for a while and will still not be drafting #1 or #2 this is only way we are going to get a QB (by taking a chance). If you think we should wait until the team is pretty stacked (not too many holes), I would say he won't have the job that long. He wasn't drafted to compete and failed, he was drafted to sit. He was #4 as they weren't ready to start Petty but didn't want to let him go. Personally, I think we should have released Geno and had Petty at #2 (until he got hurt). You don't like it fine. The only problem is that we haven't won a SB in 40+ years, so I guess the GM can't take a chance. That is a good way to never get back into the SB.

Not picking Hack just because he picked Petty the year before is comparable to not picking Winston because we picked a QB the year before. Petty could not pan out, Hack could not pan out, whoever the would have picked in the second had the not picked Hack may not have panned out. One could argue having a better team should have forced Elway to draft a guy that could contribute and he should have 'sold the farm' to get a QB that could win now with the first round pick. This team actually has a window and Elway 'squandered' a year of it. The jets don't have a win now window. But, whatever. We are clearly not going to agree on this.

I haven't delved too deeply into this years QB class but early returns aren't great. I'm a fan of Kizer but he needs time. Given the roster is about to implode and they have a plethora of needs and they drafted project QBs the last two years, I doubt Macc drafts another one. But I wouldn't put it passed him.

greenwave81 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 1 hour ago, CrazyCarl40 said: Obviously the position selected in the second round and the current depth chart at the time play factors, but if you're taking a QB in the second round with guys like Petty, Fitz, and Geno on the team then he had best be ready to try and play right away. The Jets need their 2nd round picks to be immediate contributors. There is no reason a QB drafted in 2016 couldn't beat out Geno and Petty for a backup role. The fact that he was the 4th string QB on one of the worst rosters for QBs in the league speaks volumes. If a QB is ready to play 'right away', he ain't likely getting picked in the 2nd round. There are very few QBs out of college that are NFL 'plug and play'...drafting a QB is a crapshoot unless the guy is Andrew Luck type. Each is different with things they need to change/improve on and with different physical attributes. Where they get drafted is a value decision for a GM...you might not think Hack was worth a 2nd, Macc did...so be it. But that 'value decision' has absolutely no bearing on what Hackenberg either becomes or not over time. And, since Macc basically said at the time Hack was picked they had no intention of playing him this year, how is the fact he hasn't moved up the depth chart even an issue? The kid has had minimal snaps and hasn't even dressed yet...but if that was the PLAN, all along, it has no bearing on the kids abilities at all and speaks nothing, certainly not 'volumes'. My only point is, we know nothing more now about Hack than we did at draft day...but supposedly that was the Jets plan all along..if you disagree with that plan so be it and I certainly have my doubts; but don't use it to beat the kid over the head at this point and call him a failure/bust just yet because 'moving up the ladder' this year wasn't one of his 'goals'.

Drafting Geno set this team back at least five years. I have no problem with the Jets trying to find their franchise QB. Everyone wants that and no one is arguing against it. I'm simply saying that Hack ain't the guy. And believing he is just sets this team back further. The Jets would have been better off drafting a different position than QB in the 2nd round last year.

There are very few QBs out of college that are NFL 'plug and play'...drafting a QB is a crapshoot unless the guy is Andrew Luck type. Each is different with things they need to change/improve on and with different physical attributes. Where they get drafted is a value decision for a GM...you might not think Hack was worth a 2nd, Macc did...so be it. But that 'value decision' has absolutely no bearing on what Hackenberg either becomes or not over time. And, since Macc basically said at the time Hack was picked they had no intention of playing him this year, how is the fact he hasn't moved up the depth chart even an issue? The kid has had minimal snaps and hasn't even dressed yet...but if that was the PLAN, all along, it has no bearing on the kids abilities at all and speaks nothing, certainly not 'volumes'. My only point is, we know nothing more now about Hack than we did at draft day...but supposedly that was the Jets plan all along..if you disagree with that plan so be it and I certainly have my doubts; but don't use it to beat the kid over the head at this point and call him a failure/bust just yet because 'moving up the ladder' this year wasn't one of his 'goals'. There is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I haven't read all 8+ quality pages of this fresh, new topic here at JN. Has anyone mentioned we're talking about a 21 yr old QB that should be finishing his Sr year in college. The recent poster boy for NFL ready QB Andrew Luck was at Stanford for 4 yrs (red shirting his freshman year), played for Harbaugh in a NFL ready system, and he still struggled his rookie yr. Christ Rex's vaunted defense ate Luck alive in '12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act as if this some huge revelation. The Jets have continuously missed on QBs. This is just another one. Its easy to say he's not the one, odds are certainly in your favor. But without proof there is still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
