He's been Up In the Air too long, and thinks he's Batman when he's not. Paying him significant money would just be opening the casino vault to a team of bank robbers, and put the Jets in the financial ER. No thanks. Keep in mind he's set to Descend into a lot of money, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Morgan will be ready to take over # 2 duties in 2021 so that we don't have to keep Flacco (or sign another vet) beyond 2020. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The base pay is under 2 mil a good signing except he’s coming off of neck surgery. We’re seeing good experienced vets like him and Dalton signing for lower amounts of money on one year deals. But puts us in a much better place than we were last year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxAF Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Smart move considering what’s out there. He can game manage if necessary. Better than throwing Fales out there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 13% chance vs. a 0% chance for a 3rd string QB who won't dress for a single game in 2020. For a bad team with a bad roster, this is a terrible strategy IMO. Legit teams have legit backup QB's. If the Jets are a playoff contending team under Darnold, you can bet your bottom dollar that the GM will find a way to have a legit backup on the roster every year.

First round pick, moderately skilled, won consistently with a very good team around him, eventually a Super Bowl. And then just average at best and in rapid decline after the first contract. No, I don't think so. And he was simply brilliant in that 2012 postseason too. 11 TDs, 0 INTs, over 9.0 yards/attempt, and a QB Rating ranging from 106.2 to 125.6 in the 4 games. Simply incredible. There's never been a QB to play that well in a postseason and look so bad ever since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quality veteran backup QB. A guy who can potentially win a few games if Darnold misses time again while Morgan develops into the long term #2. Hard not to like this deal, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real difference between Eli and Flacco is that Eli's last name is manning and he played in NY.

One could argue Flacco’s 2012 postseason was the best in history (maybe Rodgers in 2010 is up there too). He beat rookie Luck, Manning and Brady both on the road, and then the loaded Niners. And not one blemish in four games. Staggering. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot of clunker years but his longevity and flare on some of the biggest stages in history, coupled with his last name make him a slam dunk HOFer. Flacco is similar but his resume is not close. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 1. Darnold 2. Flacco 3. Fales 4. Morgan 5. White That's not exactly terribly depth going into camp.

I'd put Steve Young's 1994 postseason high on that list, possibly # 1. 9 TDs/0 INTs in 3 games (including a 6 TD Super Bowl), 2 Rushing TDs, and the team averaged 43.6 points per game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from the Suicide Watch desk. Agreed Fales not much different than Falk. Neither should ever be on an NFL roster again. Then again Mike Maccagnan should be barred from the Janitor’s room at every NFL Franchise (and that actually appears to be the case). But back from going off on a tangent. Looks like REAL NFL moves are taking place under the stewardship of Joseph Douglas. I don’t know how anyone could be against this signing. Hypothetically, Darnold goes down in the 15th game, last game is a must win for a playoff berth, are the Jets way better off today than they were yesterday, if this scenario actually were to play out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little curious about the coincidence that Morgan has a lot of the same attributes as Flacco. It's like they have a "type" for back up QB. I don't buy the type hype. I just think they were tired of having guys not much better than I am coming in to take snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets are a playoff contending team under Darnold, you can bet your bottom dollar that the GM will find a way to have a legit backup on the roster every year.
