Yes, but wouldn't it be better to have a complete team of studs and then draft the young quarterback?

We've already been there in '09 - '10. Our sh*t QB held us back.

Can’t get cute with decisions like this...if one of these guys are there at your pick you take him...taking years to build the team sounds nice, but what if by the time you’re ready to take one, the prospects are marginal? 
 

Look at the Chiefs....nice team under Alex Smith but we all knew they had a ceiling. Add Mahomes at QB and now you’re a juggernaut. Where are the Chiefs right now if they pass on Mahomes and for example they decide to add a piece to build their defense instead? If you suck enough when true blue chip QB prospects are available you take one....and it’s not like we’re hurting for picks either.

Yes!  We don’t need players, we just need the hope of forever accumulating picks!  We’re going to own half the 2024 draft.  Goodell will be hosting it from Florham Park.

Even Goodell won’t enter our bottom 5 stadium ?

I watch Fields play and he's a high level Sam Darnold.  

School yard stuff that might not play in a structured NFL system.  

I have my doubts, but I'd support him. 

This. Same size, same ability to scramble. But he has better decision making and none of the turnover concerns Sam had coming out. 
 

Check him on QB1 (season2), he’s a great person off the field as well. 

I kinda like that he has experience losing, nobody really know how TL would handle a couple L’s in a row, or God forbid a .500 season, it’s never happened.

The only reason people will trash him is because he’s an OSU QB. He checks every other box 

I’m guilty of being wary about him being a product of the Urban Meyer/Ryan Day system (it’s still Urban’s, let’s be honest).

The one thing that differs from Fields is that he was supposed to be this good when he was choosing colleges.  No other QB to play in that system had the pedigree that Fields does:

Did he just comeback from injury?

If Fields played for Clemson, we wouldn’t be talking about Trevor Lawrence the way we are, I’d wager. it would be the Fields sweepstakes

I’m not saying anything about either quarterback, but Trevor Lawrence‘s stock has benefitted tremendously from his freshman year playing on an all-century team

He plays for OSU for Christ’s sake not Memphis

Lawrence would be more highly regarded on any team 

[Patriot Killa]

I think Justin Fields can be extremely dynamic under the correct system.

Fields is who I want.  I wanted Darnold so what the hell do I know?

Trust me Fields is 100x better than Sam Darnold. 

[Icer]

Definitely a good fall back plan and could pair nicely with Roman if that's where we end up.

If Trevor Lawrence shuns us and stays in school who cares this kid can be just as good if not better for the NY Jets. 

Trevor Lawrence is my 1st choice and Justin Fields is my 1B choice. 

What if everyone decides to stay in school and we have to draft a CFL player with the #1?

Ask yourself Sam Darnold or Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields. 

 

You have to add in the 2nd round pick you get for darnold and you have to add in the 2 1st and  2nd for lawrence if you move down a few spots.

Not moving down anywhere if the NY Jets get the #1 pick which I think they will you choose the franchise QB.

Not disagreeing. And I’m not stipulating about who’s better. The perceived gap tho - the situation Lawrence walked into was beyond ideal. Fields transferred. If you reversed their situations, Lawrence could very well still be the more highly graded quarterback. The perceived gap between him and Fields would look different is my point

[jgb]

Draft is definitely an inexact science. A 6th rounder became the GOAT and a majority of the 20 odd NFL GMs polled preferred Leaf to Manning..

However, this is not an endorsement for fatalism -- there are still attributes that tend to correlate to NFL success. The more of those you can identify in a QB prospect, the more you increase your chances of success. It would be an all time upset if Fields goes above Lawrence in the draft.

[paulyjet]

I'll take em

[GreenFish]

This QB class is deep. Zach Wilson is also out there throwing dimes and will be in the Heisman discussion as well. Dude is accurate, gets the ball out quick, has a gun for an arm, has pocket awareness, and is athletic. I suspect he’ll be talked about in that same class as Lawrence and Fields by the end of the year.

Thr only concern with Fields is that he seems to hold on to the ball too long. Even in those highlights, you can see there were very few of them where he’s getting ball out quickly,

its one of those odd things...  cos the above is true....     while if fields actually ends up a better pro it would not be an all time upset... 

[TuscanyTile2]

I just checked and I see Fields is a junior.  If Trevor decides to stay for his senior season does that mean Deion and the rest are going to advise Fields to go back to school too?

i'd be happy with fields or wilson

[HawaiisOnlyJetsFan]

Fields is the best QB coming out this year. I truly hope Lawrence listens to all these talking heads saying to stay in school because it would force the Jets to make the right decision.

There's nothing wrong with really liking Trevor Lawrence, and also liking Justin Fields

Lets be honest - we need every domino to fall in our favor. The more - the better.

Nailed it.  

I follow QBs to an obsessive degree.  These two have always been on my radar.  Even after drafting Sam.  It’s not going to stop there either.  I’d be lying to you if I said that I didn’t already start following the stories of guys like Bryce Young, DJ Uiagalelei, and the other top youngins.  Shoot, everyone is salivating over Arch Manning in high school right now, lmao.  I was already watching his freshman tape last year.  Anyway, this is not supposed to be a “humble brag”.  I’m just trying to point out that anyone who follows QBs like I do knows that Fields and Lawrence are not guys who just came out of nowhere, ala Darnold.  I’m sure our resident WR guru can relate ?.

Lastly, QB is the most important position in sports.  Like you said, the more great options you have, the better, and these two are FANTASTIC options.

[RutgersJetFan]

Ohio St QB's. Blech. 

Not to mention the luck this franchise has had with Buckeyes. It's Mangold and then a big pile of pretty high level busts. Jets should just stay far away from USC QB's or anyone from OSU going forward. Funnily enough they seem to hit on ACC guys more often than anything else which is why I'm stoked for Lawrence but at the same time I'm sure they will find a way to cock it up. 

[Beerfish]

Okay here is a question, he transferred from Georgia no?  And he transferred because he got beat out by Fromm  no?

Lith can weight in on this i assume

[BurnleyJet]

It’s a sensible move to look at Fields, even Lance. The whole Lawrence speculation is just grinding.

I Really I just want a good QB to go with the rebuild.

@Lith could definitely explain it in more detail than I could, but anyone with two eyes could see that Fields was light years ahead of Fromm in terms of talent.  Kirby Smart’s biggest mistake was playing it safe with the game-manager Fromm, and not taking the chance on developing a superstar talent like Fields.  Here’s a snippet from an article that somewhat explains it.  Long story short: Kirby felt that Fromm was a safer bet for his run heavy system, where the QB isn’t asked to do as much as they would at other programs:

There also was an alleged incident where a member of Georgia’s baseball team supposedly called Fields a racial slur and he decided right then and there that he would no longer remain on that campus.  Apparently, this is the reason why Fields was allowed to immediately play after transferring.
