Dunnie Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah that's why we signed a 37 year old QB to a multi-million deal to start week 1 The only reason we did this is to allow the O Line to gel while McCown gets destroyed for the first 5-6 weeks of the season. We are going to end up 2-14.Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refused and asked to be cut Why couldn't they offer him the same as Decker, and try to get a trade done? His contract was great for a contending team because it was a one year deal, with a motivated Marshall. 6 hours ago, T0mShane said: I don't think Marshall had trade value because teams knew the Jets had to excise him from the locker room either way. Marshall's track record was well known even before the Jets, and it's hard to find another team as stupid as the Jets who would give up assets for a career malcontent. He got jettisoned off the Bears mainly because they had Jeffery emerging and thought Marshall was injury prone. We were quite happy to get him for what I believe was a 5th round pick, so why couldn't he fetch a similar return on a one year deal contract? I wasn't expecting say a first round pick, but it almost seemed like we just cleared house for the sake of clearing house with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next meaningful game will be 10/8 vs Browns in the Darnold bowl. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I fk'n HATE USC QBs. Lets see what happens this year in college - it's a QB heavy draft - we will have choices. Hopefully he's not a sure number 1 consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeacon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 2 hours ago, jeremy2020 said: Hack must look really bad. They've already given up on him ever playing. The reality is McCown started OTA's because he has run an NFL offense that has similar language to what Morton is running. Give the young guys ( Petty and Hack) some time to adjust to another new offensive scheme / language before we crown McCown the king of the tank.

bostonmajet Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There are two scenarios here. 1. The first one (and probably most likely since QBs are hit and miss) is that neither Hack nor Petty show enough to be the future of the Jets. In such a case, the Jets would have been building a defense (clearly missing some key players like sack artist, and a CB or two). These young players will have a chance to grow with the defense. Macc can plug in some key players next year with the draft or FA with all of the cap. In the meantime, we give the OL time to gel and give some young WRs a chance to grow and impress. Next year we pick a QB #1 and using other picks and FA try to plug the holes the best they can. In either case, Marshal and Decker would no longer be on the team (or on the way out); so, no point keeping them in a throw away year. 2. Hack (or Petty) turns out to be the guy (or shows enough). In that case, we trade away our top pick to a team hungry for a QB and use the picks and FA to finish building the team. In this case, again, Marshall would have been on the way out as well as Decker and any chemistry built with them would be lost. Also, for a young QB that is going to struggle, do you want a guy like Marshall in the huddle with him while he is telling anyone who would listen that we are win now and should have Fitz or McCown running the show? Assuming Decker isn't hurt, he would be double covered, not have great numbers and gone anyway. Either way, it makes sense to let them go and save the $ for next year. However, I could have easily been convinced that a guy like Decker would be an asset to a growing QB and growing receivers, but the cost, injuries, and future were against him. Decker is the guy you want to help win games in a win now team - any production would be wasted on a rebuilding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
