Even if true, McCown is almost literally a decade older and has never finished a season. How are these two even remotely comparable talents anywhere but here?

Untouchable Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Jets are going to pick up Robinson, Richburg and a mid-tier CB right out of the gate and then Cousins signs by Wednesday. I can feel it in my bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the whole narrative has been about how all these forever winners want to pay him as much as they can to win and he's too good to come here - most will work really hard to sell the idea that this guy is mediocre? I already expect the least objective hot takes of the salary possibl, but that's going to come from everywhere as folks flock to protect the owners' money.. I have always believed he was coming here - because I always beleived we were prepared and positioned to pay him the most money. To your point - people will call Mac an idiot for overpaying him - that he really wanted to go to Denverr and MN. but the Jets offer was so ridiculousy over priced. Our fans will find a way to blame whatever we do on Mac and the organization as a whole. I don't want the guy as I think the opportunity cost of missing out on one of the top 4 in this draft is simply too big. I want to start over and build a team from the ground up. not bring in a slightly above average free agent to simply make the team respectible.

All anyone has to remember is that these idiots think everyone is overpaid all the time except for the #jobcreators at the top. It's becomes more hilariously bad when whoever takes the three seconds to think it through realizes the gap between the Jets, Broncos, Vikings and so on will be spread out over years. My guess? That sentence is grounds to talk about how he should pass on the money lol...I love it. It's transparently backwards thinking and nooooobody gives a ****.

Even if true, McCown is almost literally a decade older and has never finished a season. How are these two even remotely comparable talents anywhere but here? It's relevant because people are using his numbers as the reason we should give him $150mm - and make him our franchise QB. The point is - 38 year old never-has-beens (Jet or not) can put up big numbers in today's NFL. 4,000 yards is no longer a big deal. When I point to Cousins wins and losses - I'm told they don't matter - because he throws for a lot of yards. I'm just making the point that a lot of guys can throw for a lot of yards...doesn't make them franchise QB worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed was injured all year, ASJ had a mini resurgence, Kearse was a stud & had one of the lowest drop rates in the NFL, Pryor was highest drop rate, Anderson had a breakout season & got better and added to his route tree as the year progressed, Dotson was meh, Crowder?

Obrien2Toon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I’m feeling like we’re getting Cousins too going to take a lot of the fun out of the draft If we do might as well go all in, Richburg, eifert, Robinson, Lewis, find a way to get Barkley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't talking about the Saints, we were talking about the numbers that Kirk put up with the Skins in 2017. The NY Jets had better & healthier offensive players that played better than the Skins players...FACT. We still had our 3rd string RB while the Redskins were on their 4th.

There's no way we draft a QB this year if they sign Cousins - zero chance. It does, although, allow you the time to prepare for the transition in 5 years - I just don't want to wallow in mediocrity for a half-decade before trying to find a true franchise QB.

Some fans won't be happy, I'm not one of them. There aren't even enough stud free agents to spend 90 million on. Front loading Cousins puts us in a great spot capwise again in 2019, and still allows us to sign a Center, CB, maybe Guard, WR, some lower level free agents this year.

That's just not true - well not only Mac directly, but certainly the Jets as an organization, talent level, coaching, ownderhsip etc. Many, many people have stated the reason Cousins won't come here is because the organization is a mess - the leader of that organization is the GM.

So, your Macc & Bowles. 2 terrible losing seasons in a row. You've been given a 2 year contract extension. Kirk Cousins is available (definitely a top 10 QB in the league) you can disagree with that claim but no one on the NFL network, media & ex-players disputes that & most believe he's in the 2nd tier of franchise QBs behind Brady, Rogers, but with Stafford, Rivers ect.. You have the resources to sign him WITHOUT killing your salary cap or stifling your ability to still sign 3/4 top free agents. Or, you take a flyer on a group of rookie QBs who's top 4 are flip flopped in every Mock on the web without any of them being a concensus #1 can't miss, Payton Manning, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton type. Your career is literally on the line, Cousins is a f*cking no brainer to ensure the likelihood Chris Johnson lets it play out for the 5 years of Kirks contract. I agree with others if his agent wants 3 years max? Tell him to go fly a kite & try to get Rosen or Mayfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 If he is paid a huge contract the fans will bash him if he does not play up to the deal and the if the jets are not successful quite soon. If he plays much better than the mccown or fitz and the team wins everyone will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
