The Gooch Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Is it possible that the jets could be tanking? Maybe Douglas has a plan for next year and remember he didn't pick Darnold and maybe wants another QB! If they play the same way Thursday night it could be true! What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an intellectual, well thought out, original concept from a gentleman with a scholarly name like "The Gooch". A post not at all characteristic of someone that chose that name. No. Not at all. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmajet Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He may want to get rid of Gase. He may not want to hire a bunch of one year rentals or keeping Adams who wants to be gone. He has a long term deal and he wants to build they way he wants. Either way, if he is tanking, getting the #1 or #2 pick would be quite useful for trading down and building a great team. I wouldn't assume that he is going to spend another top pick on a QB when, even if Darnold is a bust, would fail with the current roster. Hell, I can't think of a QB who could win with this roster. I don't know if you can or cannot effectively evaluate Darnold on this team with this coach. Build the team and get a real coach. If next year you don't win, you can pick the next can't loose QB.

If that were true they would have done it in 2012 to 2014 or JD has convinced Chris to tank and let’s hope that includes a new coach.

WowOhWow Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I don't think the plan is to tank. I think unfortunately Gase is incapable of delivering quality football with a bad roster. My view is the NFL is a coaches and GM league. If you are well coached that can make up for a lot of roster issues. Jets are terribly coached. If you have a GM you will begin to accumulate talent at the most valuable positions...and the NFL, even though it's the ultimate team game, is still very much about QB, left tackle and edge. We had the absolute worst GM in the history of the sport in Macc. JD gets it and I'm a believer. I believe we have a QB that has long term potential. I would stick with Sam. I believe Becton is a monster. Absolute stud. No edge and this needs to be fixed. Bottom line - not a tank. We just have an abysmal coach.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 We're accidentally tanking. And that will be proven to be true when the Jets beat the Broncos, a team that is ACTUALLY tanking, on Thursday night. We even suck at sucking.

If either team was tanking before the season it was the Jets. Broncos are just dealing with injuries to Von MIller/Sutton/Lock much like we are dealing with injuries to half our offense so both teams are now tanking, whether they want to or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they didn't START the season tanking. But then the injuries piled up, including one to their starting QB. They're starting their QB3, Mark Rypien's nephew, this week. Elway wants that # 1 pick, bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
