So when does Jabari Zuniga emerge from the Bermuda Triangle and did the Jets know at the draft?

[jetscrazey 2,871]

It’s weird how little we’ve heard about this guy.  Hasn’t even practiced yet and his team needs him, there’s no edge rush right now.

Don’t tell me Douglas spent a 3rd round pick on damaged goods.  If it was a 5th i could maybe tolerate this but this is a Maccagnan-like mistake.  Douglas needed to draft players who could make an impact now.

Could have gotten a starting Center with that pick.

Got to give him a chance but yeah this was always the concern with him.

Then again it wasn’t a concern with the rest of the team but they’re all dead too so who the f*ck knows.

[mrcoops 4,064]

He wasn't a guy I wanted us to pick, but it's early so let's wait and see what happens.

If he becomes a legit pass-rusher later this year or next season, then it was worth the wait.

[Wonderboy 3,538]

Shhhhh none of those other picks will play until Gase is gone - as per JD. Shhhhh

[JiF 147,363]

He's never, ever healthy.  It's plagued him since his freshman year.  He's the guy that even if he is healthy, will be on the injury report all week and a game time decision.   He fits the athletic profile of a pass rusher, better than anyone we've taken in years but what does it matter if he cant get on the field and yet ofcourse there are handful of players that were available that fit a need and could have hit the ground running.  Duvernay, Edwards, Cushenberry, Kindely, Simpson, etc. 

Ashtyn Davis too, Mr. Adams replacement.  The D is dogsh*t and he cant even get on the field.

There’s an old saying, “You don’t take a scholarship at UF because you like to play football or read, fella.” I think it was Mark Twain who wrote that.

It's Gainesville green - and you sound bitter.

You get a good edge rusher you often need to gamble.  The key is smart bets. 

The Jets’ biggest needs right now are programs to develop QBs and better condition and train their players.  That should be the focus for the rest of the season.

[fullblast 1,862]

We love drafting fragile players.

[Matt39 41,674]

More than likely doesnt like football, got paid and will wash out of the league shortly.

[ScarletKnight89 2,827]

I mean, there's never an edge rush. At this point what's one more season?

They include things like amenities and atmosphere, people, weather, food... This is not about top 6 academics for public schools

[JoJoTownsell1 10,552]

He was placed on IR and is eligible to return this week so will be interesting to see if he practices leading up to Thursday night.

UF is a good school. Solid Med School too. It's just in Gainesville.

He was placed on IR to start the year so couldn't practice until this week.

No doubt.. it is a very good school I am just saying the Top 6 ranking is not in academics, it includes everything the school has to offer including academics...

The Gase Curse - the unusual, inexplicable, unexplainable situation where the teams coached by Adam Gase suffer an inordinate amopunt of "bad luck" in player health, up to an including being amongst the most injured teams in the NFL with the most time lost to kep players to injury or other causes.  Despite difference years, teams and players, the Gase Curse abides.

More importantly, when is Mims coming back?

He’s eligible to return next week I think. 

[Jetsfan80 116,661]

If he had been a guy capable of staying healthy in college, he would have been a mid-late 1st round pick.  He's an athletic freak and is exactly the type of player you target when you're looking for an EDGE rusher.

His injury concerns were baked into his value when we took him in the 3rd round.  You can obviously argue we should have let someone else take him and get frustrated by his lack of availability.  But at least he wasn't an athletic slug like the guys Maccagnan took, who never had a shot at being any good from the start.

Very interested to see if he can get on the field this week and what he can contribute.  We haven't had an EDGE rusher in 15 years.
