Jets OTA’s Day 1

[Patriot Killa]

Why would Hackenberg get any reps? He is PS eligible and 4th on the depth chart at OTAs

 

Put em’ on the PS squad

I wonder if the Jets have a trade in place for Hackenberg. Not for a pick, obviously, but for an end-of-the-roster player from another team. 

that's why they aren't playing him.  don't want to risk injury.

I have zero clue what they're doing with Hack. Give him a chance with some reps or let him loose. I understand he sucks but what's the plan here? To keep the other QBs company?

 

Couldnt disagree more.  Hack deserves as few reps as possible as every single necessary rep should go to darnold and TB.  The kid will get the 4th preseason game and TC to show that he can serves as a 3rd string QB and if TB is healthy, he probably wont stick anyway.

More importantly, as far as franchising TB, why wouldnt we do that?  2019 and beyond is about WINNING games, not developing, not tanking, not working year 3 of building the roster, its about winning and QBs get hurt.  Given how little money the jets have invested in Darnold and how much cap space we have, the team could afford to back up the QB position with a good player just in case.  Then look at trade options.

The best thing for this organization is to have TB healthy and playing well.  We can figure everything out later and given that Darnold is 20, he doesnt need to be rushed onto the field.

Q looking smoooooth. Seeing him and Bridgewater out there made my day. 

[Sarge4Tide]

These Bridgewater reports are promising.  If his knee is sound, give him a dang 3 year contract.

There is no PS until Sept. you just cant put somone on the PS. They must clear waivers. And this IS practice.

could we get multiple number 1st for Sam?

Hackenberg says he told #Jets in Jan. about changing his throwing motion. Believes he figured things out: “That was the frustrating part for me. The ups & downs & not knowing why ... and not really getting any information from anybody on how to fix that and how to address it” ?

Hackenberg says the changes were about eliminating some inefficiencies with his feet and up top, shortening his arm movements. #Jets #OTAs

Doubtful we would get back what we gave up for him. There would be lots of interest but might be a better scenario if we trade bridgewater for a first to a team like the broncos. Might be able to get a first and change from the dolphins if Bridgewater looked good through training camp

Christian Hackenberg said he’s excited after remaking his throwing motion. “For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a solid foundation.” #Jets

so working with Palmer is a waste of time, shocking... also hack is, at best a 3rd string Qb no shock here

Dylan Donahue spoke to media today. Cut alcohol entirely out of his system after his 30 days in rehab. Connected with former #Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins during the process for advice.

Christian Hackenberg: talks about his changed throwing motion: I couldn’t be more excited about where I’m at right now. Tells reporters he has a solid foundation. ‘I’m 23... I have a lot of ball in front of me.’ #Jets #OTAs pic.twitter.com/AfDgBLtBP4

Off the top of my head here are the teams that could/would be looking
for a QB due to the age of their starter, no future QB or shaky play:

MIA
NE (I know it would never happen)
JAX
CIN
SD
NYG (Wouldn't that be hysterical)
WSH
NO

Hopefully that's the problem we have in 2019.  The Jets are going to have
another 90-100 million in cap space next year so they could easily franchise
Bridgewater while they arrange a trade

I can't see it getting that far. I think they try to trade him this year, and/or maybe pick and choose in free agency from cut players who don't count in the compensation pick formula and try to get a couple comp picks in 2020. While I expect them to be active in free agency next year, they do have a lot of players on one year, or in the last year, of their current deals. It would take more interest in obtaining comp picks than Mac has previously shown, though. 

Franchise tagging Teddy would tie up close to $30M. Despite the cap room, I don't see it happening. Next year there will be a playoff push. They're going to need an influx of talent, and they'll be aggressive in the edge rusher and OL markets. I would expect McCown back for another season at backup, hopefully at a reduced rate. 

Starting Teddy, then trading him as the starter before the deadline is the best case scenario, imho.

McCown on Darnold: He’s athletic. The ball comes out very nice,. He’s got a big strong arm. #Jets #OTAs

I agree. I think they hope to showcase Teddy in the preseason and work out a trade this year with a team that loses their QB to injury.

Are people really talking about trading SAM DARNOLD after day 1 of OTAs?

Feels weird we'd wanna trade away a young QB that plays well enough to get a good draft pick back.

i don't know about that - the question is - if Indy stayed at 3 - would they have gotten a better offer than what the Jets gave them earlier.  I believe they would.  

If Teddy shows promise i think we can get at least our second for next year back.   maybe we ask for 2 threes instead since we are very bad at second rounders.

he's had his rookie mini camp also.  has he really shown us ANYTHING so far?   we hung around with Hack way too long according to many posters.  let's not make the same mistake here with Sam.

Vikings gave up a first for sam bradford I think it is possible we could get that for Bridgewater

The Hackenberg excuse about his throwing motion sounds like Manziels excuse about no one telling him not to do coke the night before games.

Good point, I forgot to include the 3 day rookie mini-camp when he was playing with HS gym teachers, because that does give a much deeper look into his ability to be a successful pro. 

I mean hes 20 and arguably the best QB prospect in the last 5+ years to come out of college, so I think 8 hours of on field practice is enough to make the decision to move on.

good to see you are slowly coming around to my viewpoint.  

i'll understand if it takes you a little bit of time.
