JetNation Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 The New York Jets announced several roster moves on Thursday. The Jets have moved four veterans to active injury lists and have released an undrafted free agent rookie as their training camp gets under way. Three players — QB Joe Flacco, TE Ryan Griffin and LB Avery Williamson — have been placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. A fourth, TE Dan Brown, has been placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. DL Domenique Davis, signed by the Jets out of Division II UNC Pembroke, has been waived. The #Jets have placed TE Dan Brown on Active/NFI and QB Joe Flacco, TE Ryan Griffin and LB Avery Williamson on Active/PUP. The team has released DL Domenique Davis. — NYJ Communications (@NYJetsPR) July 30, 2020 Jets TE Ryan Griffin (rehabbing from ankle surgery) and ILB Avery Williamson (ACL rehab) were officially placed on the PUP list today. — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) July 30, 2020 Jets backup QB Joe Flacco officially placed on PUP list today. Flacco is still rehabbing from offseason neck surgery. Expectation when he was signed was that he would not be ready for contact until sometime in September (hopefully). David Fales is No. 2 QB behind Darnold now — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) July 30, 2020 The post Flacco & Williamson to PUP; Other Moves appeared first on JetNation.com (NY Jets Blog & Forum).

SAR I Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Joe Flacco has a net worth of $75 million dollars, is 36 years old, has 5 kids including a 2 year old, and is coming off an injury. Last year he made $18.5 million and we’re paying him $1.5. I’m frightened of the opt-out. SAR I 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I He likely will wind up for at least the start of the year and the QQB we'll call it i.e Quarantined QB since he likely will not be PHY ready to play for much of Sept. and can attend the QB meeting room in a virtual fashion. Once we get past those few games probably Flacco can shift to be the backup QB and one of the other QBs would then become the QQB even if it were Fales or Morgan since if we lost Darnold and Flacco then we likely mostly lose after that like last year when we had an XFL QB in Falk playing for 3 games.

CTJetsFan Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm not sure making Flacco the quarantined QB makes sense. The purpose of that would be if your starting QB (Sam) tests positive during the week and can't play, your QQB can be brought in to play having not been exposed to the starting QB. Since it doesn't sound like Flacco will be ready to play early in the season, I doubt it would be him. Williamson is concerning. Hoping it's just a roster manipulation move and not for a health reason (knee related). He is about 11 months post op from his ACL surgery and should have been good to go 2-3 months ago.

BigRy56 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I love the idea of Flacco being the quarantine QB, but with Darnold’s injury history we need somebody to be able to come in and win on the spot. Fales and Morgan are likely not those guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Why did we sign Flacco if he was still hurt? Bad move. Some of us have been saying our TE situation was not as rosy as indicted. Griffins injury was a really bad one, herndon has not shown he is reliable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem there is that losing Darnold for a stretch during the season is an unfortunate probability and so having a rusty backup who isn't even practicing with the team try to step in and save our season is worse than having a bunch of Luke Falk's. Flacco was supposed to be our dependable backup, able to win a few games when he's necessary. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fales and Morgan are likely not those guys No, we really don't. 2020 is not a Jets title year, so winning if our #1 goes down isn't the top priority. Experience for our long-term backup (Morgan) > winning a meaningless game en route to a lost-QB-losing season. JMO. If we were a projected 13-3 team, I'd feel differently. We're projected to be dead last, and even I think at best we're a 8-9 win edge-of-wildcard team if things go perfectly. It's simple: Darnold misses time for a third year in a row, and we're done, post-season-competitively. Flacco, Morgan or Fales, doesn't really matter. It's not like Flacco went 6-0 last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 There isn’t even any physical practices for another 2 weeks. Precautionary. If Avery isn’t ready by the start of the season he had the wrong surgeon or rehab schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably a dozen reasons that signing Flacco was a good move. We are not signing a guy to start, we are signing one to come in if Darnold misses games. If Darnold lasts 3 weeks the gamble paid off. Flacco is not costing a real roster spot because he is on the PUP. With the pandemic, whoever they bring in is going to have a rough time learning the O and getting up to speed. A smart vet is probably a good choice and he will be missing less than under normal circumstances. He should be ready well before the trade deadline. It is possible with injuries and the strange situation, they could move him if somebody gets hurt. Think of the Bridgewater deal. If he lasts the year and continues playing, he will likely get a fairly decent sized deal. Most QBs do. At that point he could figure into the comp pick calculations. The deal was so late that it won't factor into comp picks for next year. I could go on, but most important of all, he was dirt cheap. For $1.5M he is a bargain even if they dump him right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting back to where he was before the injury would be uncommon at 6-7 months along. Could take 12 months or more, everybody is different. Plus there is the mental aspect of healing an injury like that too. It takes you out of life and leaves you pondering your future. I've been there. I'd be willing to bet he had a meniscus tear too by the way his knee flexed sideways when he was hit. IMO 12 months is realistic. I think he would be on track to come back once the real games begin.

Why are you 'gambling' on the backup QB spot. We gambled last year and it was a pure disaster. If darnold last 3 weeks and if Flacco is actually ready and if Flacco can then step in after no prep time. If he was heatlhy and ready to go and be the backup from day one fine, but he is not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only a disaster primarily because Darnold went down with mono and then the backup QB, Trevor Siemian, went down almost immediately as well. Not exactly a situation that is replicated often. It's not like this is a contender even with a healthy Darnold and backup QB. So who cares, really? The only teams that should really worry about their QB2 are Super Bowl contenders and teams who aren't sure about who their starter is going to be that particular season. We're neither of those. No one overrates the importance of the QB2 like Jets fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my understanding is that recovery from ACL tears is typically about 10 months, maybe 12 months at the most, so we're right in that range. I recall Carson Wentz tearing his ACL in December and starting again for the Eagles in late September the following season, so that's about 9 months. https://973espn.com/explaining-the-carson-wentz-timeline/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
