UnitedWhofans Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just now, CaliforniaJet said: Because the team loves scrub veterans at QB. Just go with the young guys, enough with these scubs taking reps from the kids. If they suck they suck, but lets find out already. What do we need a veteran scrub like Hoyer for? What knowledge does he have that would help this team, because? Skills he has none. You need a veteran backup QB. Because you need someone who can come in cold and actually play a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a QB depth chart of: Hoyer Watson / Mahomes Hackenberg Going into the season wouldn't be awful there is always the possibility that the jets get shut out of all these vets. i doubt they want romo. what if glennon goes to the bears and hoyer goes to SF? you have to wonder if their 'worst case' scenario is they are forced to keep geno for another year.

Bowles is a stubborn stuck in the 1980's coach. refused to draft Lynch last year because he didnt want to play a rookie. ROFLMAO. You think the Jets didn't draft Lynch because Bowles didn't want to play a rookie? Had nothing to do with the fact that the Jets graded Lynch poorly and looking at how he played this year, they might have been right on that?

As with the Patriots, they can trade Jimmy G for basically a better pick than they used to draft him, and he was a backup that won them games. And he was cheaper than a veteran backup. That is a brilliant strategy. If a good QB is available, they should take him. Based on this logic I'm guessing we can get multiple #1's for Geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxton Lynch didn't start for the Broncos last year (outside of an injury) and it looks like the Broncos are going after Romo this year. So it may have been a good move to pass on Lynch. With that said, Bowles is a dope and will play the best QB on the roster. We just need to hope that one of the kids emerges. I am sure Macc will be on top of that.

FTL Jet Fan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 My money is on Hoyer being our starter if he signs here, as of what we know now he will beat out Hack and Petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyer gives you the same chance as Petty or Hack or anyone else, you dont need someone thats been in the league for ten years to come in and stink it up. What he does is take reps from them.

shuler82 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 On one hand... a cheap vet QB and the potential for a true QB competition in camp where Mac's draft picks might have a legitimate chance to start and take a step forward. On the other hand, Bowles on August 24th 2017 'Hoyer gives up the best chance to win' FML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 They are bringing in a vet QB no question about it so may as well be the cheapest and crappiest one we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, as a backup I'm totally fine with it. How often do you see an NFL team going into camp with 2 or 3 unproven QBs? Even the Browns, who were in full tank mode started the season with RG3. Basically, the plan appears to be for one of the kids to emerge as a franchise QB or for Hoyer to start and lead us to a 2-14 record and Sam Darnold. I am cool with that plan.

Mike135 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Regardless of the QB, if they're actually trying to win, improve, or develop a QB, can't go into the season with Decker as the #1. He's not good enough and he'll probably miss at least 8 games. Perhaps Hoyer is brought in just to take a beating while we lose for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
