bigalbarracuda Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I would've been happy if we beat the Fins, Bills, and Browns... the two wins against the Chiefs/Jags took us out of the #2 or #3 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 4 hours ago, MDL_JET said: 3. Jets’ flight plan. The Jets absolutely wanted Cousins, and probably worse than anyone else did. But if you go back a few months, you’ll see that he wasn’t initially Plan A for the team. A few months back, the idea for 2017 was to strip down the team, rely on young guys, and get a Top 2 or 3 pick to spend on a quarterback. And this wasn’t just on paper, either. At the urging of ownership, the Jets’ personnel department sunk an absolute ton of resources into kicking the tires on all the college quarterbacks last fall. New York had a scout at just about every UCLA, USC, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Louisville game in 2017, and did all the background you can imagine on Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson. So what changed? Two things. First, the Jets’ young core, particularly on defense, got feisty early, and a three-game winning at the September/October turn doomed the idea that the team would be able to keep up with the likes of Cleveland and the Giants in the race for the first pick. Second, quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates impressed enough to earn a promotion to coordinator just as a signal-caller proven in his system, Cousins, was set to come free. Remember, Bates is a disciple of Mike Shanahan, just as Cousins and his two favorite play-callers (Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay) are. So add the early-season surge to Bates’ rise, and you had a team with the sixth pick that could try and get a proven quarterback, which would free it up to use its draft capital to build on last year’s transformational offseason. That’s how they drew it up, anyway. Now? Well, they move forward with the information they need—and I expect we’ll see Top 30 visits and on-campus workouts with the top quarterbacks here, too—on the quarterbacks, and less flexibility with their picks, particularly if they need to trade up. It’s not ideal, and it didn’t feel good for anyone there this week. But with Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater in the fold as “for now” answers, they can move forward with what they’d set out to do in the first place, and that’s take one high in April. If that was the plan, why not play Petty and Hack you idiots! Can never do anything right. The above doesn't even include the other smoking gun that, while merely suspect back then, now fits like a last puzzle piece. The testimony of Woody Johnson right after the draft (https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/nfl/jets/2017/05/03/woody-johnson-dont-judge-2017-jets-wins-losses/309602001/) don't judge on how many games they win [Trying to remember hearing any owner or team president level executive saying this in the spring, even in the absence of a new GM or new HC or both] trying a strategy they've never tried before in 17 years [not spending on 1 serious FA to improve the team in March, despite having the cap room to do so] "We've got to find a quarterback" [says this days after passing up all opportunities to draft one just days earlier. They didn't even take a shot on a mid or even late rounder, which any team might do even if they didn't need a starter. The only new QB they added was a 38 year-old journeyman whose recent reputation was losing 90% of his starts and getting injured; either outcome would have been acceptable in this scenario.] Then 4 weeks later they cut 2 more starters (not even borderline-starters) in favor of promoting their expected-downgrade replacements. From Woody's own mouth - which now fits this narrative even more than it did back then - this was a coordinated plan to tank for whichever prospect ended up being the runaway best QB prospect in what was then expected to be the best QB class in decades. Given the position's importance, it's not even a bad plan IF they were just staring at a QB class like 2013, or if they picked so low they had no chance at the draft's only 1 or 2 decent prospects. Except we started out at #6 and there were 3 QBs in the 2017 draft that 3 teams (2 of them playoff teams) felt were not only worthy of top 10-12 picks, but were worthy of trading up to make sure they got them. Meanwhile the Jets took a ****ing safety in a draft with like 20 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Giants already had Rivers in their hand from the #4 pick, and they still made a trade for Eli.

Yes there's plenty of time for draft stocks rising and falling. Unless there's a major shakeup with 2 of them, I'd still be shocked if fewer than 3 go in the top 6. Both Denver and the Giants know full well you can't time when you're going to be in a position to draft your next top 5 pick QB without surrendering as many as 3 #1 picks. I think whether either bites at 2-5 or wait a bit, may depend on how much realistic potential they still see in Webb and Lynch. Or Denver taking a QB may depend upon whether or not 2 QBs are taken ahead of them (whether the Giants at #2 or the Jets leapfrogging them). If either deems their #2 guy as a lost cause or #2 is their likely ceiling, I think they take a QB with their top pick. Denver only signed Keenum for 2 years which is almost the definition of a stopgap just long enough to not make them panic early. Plus they just un-load-ed Semen . Eli turns 38 before the 2018 postseason and meh anyway. For all the rationalizing and pontificating (and joking), I have to believe the Jets and Browns are mortal locks to take QBs in the top 6 no matter what.

I think they felt in going with Hackenberg (either from week 1 or after McCown had his early injury) they saw 2 outcomes: he pleasantly surprises and they don't need a QB anymore, or he's still so impossibly bad he helps them get the #1 pick for the best upgrade possible. Problem is for all that theoretical all-or-nothing planning, even a rookie Geno was able to QB the team to 8 wins. Case in point, after going 2-20 with annual early injuries in 3 straight seasons, they started out 5-7 before McCown went down. 5-7 is still sucky, but it isn't 2-10 or 1-11, and he still couldn't outplay Petty.

The team went out and got two vet WRs just before the season in kerley and kearse. The jets played mccown until he got hurt. There was ZERO tanking going on. An if that was the strat then the jets as usual screwed it up. It was a passive tank. Nobody thought McCown would have a career yr at 38. Mac just wanted to sign a jag vet to make it look good. Nobody can say “ he saw something “ nobody else did in Josh McCown lol. He was a cheap vet to sign, just to show we weren’t going to be too obvious and tank with two bad young qbs. They actually believed in camp, Petty and Hackenberg could win qb job. Or at least they thought even if McCown won it, he and jets wouldn’t do well enough to justify keeping him in midway through season. They cut or traded some players would def would have helped them win. Marshall, Decker, Richardson. They did not go end and spend anything to replace them. If they wanted to win, why did they get rid of those guys without using the ton of $$ they had to sign others ? They were thinking about 2018 already, that’s why. Kerley was not a winning move lol. Kearse was a throw in with trade who turned out to surprise many. Seahawks were deep at receiver. I can’t believe we got a 2nd round pick for Richardson, I know Mac didn’t say “ no a 2nder is not enough, I demand kearse too ha. You can call it what you want.

Pennington Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 This idea that a New York team can't tank is pure nonsense. The Rangers are tanking which was supposedly ordered by ownership and the majority of fans are very supportive. Heck there were Jets fans wearing Darnold jerseys at the first few USC games before we ruined it by winning a few meaningless games. This fan base is worn out from watching retreads at the most important position in sports. I think a vast majority of Jets fans were more than happy at the thought of winning 2 or less games last season and having a shot at one of the top QBs. This team is just flat out boring, the offense has sucked for years and we haven't had even a glimmer of hope at the QB position since we drafted Sanchez. As far as I am concerned its QB or bust on April 28 in the first round. I won't even be upset if the guy doesn't pan out but I will be infuriated if this team doesn't do whatever it takes to get that guy. Maccagnan needs to go down swinging or he can pack his bags.
