Sounds like Lions may make Matt Stafford available

[GreekJet]

If the Jets don’t get Lawrence this would be my second choice (not sure if you could convince Stafford to come here).

The Jets need stability at the QB position in the worst way. Im not sure spending the number 2 overall pick on a dart throw is the way to go given all the holes on this roster. 

[BroadwayRay]

Interesting. So if we don’t get Lawrence your solution is to trade for a guy who will be 33 years old next year instead of drafting one of the other five high-performing QB prospects who will be available. 

Ever hear the expression “kicking the can down the road”?

[Beerfish]

Not a good choice for the jets even though i think he is quite good.  He would be much better for a win now team.

33 is young for a QB. I know Stafford has been injury prone, but he’s probably got at least four or five good years left in the tank. Look at Fitzpatrick (39 still going strong). 

It is also possible another team falls in love with Fields or one of the other and offers a good package to move up. If thats the case you can take another young QB in the mid rounds to develop behind Stafford.

If the Jets get Darnold and Gase out of here and replace them with Stafford and a competent HC/OC they might be pretty good. Especially considering the cap space and draft capital they have to work with. 

 

[PS17]

He’s Kirk Cousins with a better arm. Always comes up short in big moments. Hard pass.

You can keep the mid rounder. I’ll take my chances with Fields or Wilson or Lance.

1. Stafford would never come here. He's not going to go from the LIONS to another sh*t team on his last gasp. 

2. The Jets don't have a competitive roster to actually take advantage of someone like Stafford.

3. This is a truly dumb idea.

This is something I could see Maccagnan or Tannenbaum doing because they were masters of trading away draft picks and overvaluing their team personnel. Thankfully, JD would never do something like this because he believes in building through the draft.

Barry.  Megatron.  Now Stafford.

And the NFL peanut gallery thinks we ruin players?

The Jets can be super bowl contenders next year with Stafford if they hit in free agency and the draft. 
 

This is a good team that is being held back by coach and QB.

Uh, every GM believes in building through the draft. If the Jets are ever close to being in contention, you'll see JD amp up the big-money FA signings.

His number of 4th quarter comebacks is remarkable (in a good way)

Colts should be all over this guy

At least two of those guys will be in the Hall of Fame.  They waste players.  We ruin them.

[Defense Wins Championships]

I'm sorry but just the thought of potentially going from a 21 year old and #1 rated kid QB type of phenom prospect in Trevor Lawrence to a soon to be 33 year old who's been in the league since 2009 with an 0-3 playoff record and only 1 Pro Bowl appearance / 0 All-Pro selections is absolutely sickening to me; because if Trevor lives up to his potential he's going to accomplish a lot more and for many of years too. 

Not to take anything away from Mathew Stafford he's had an excellent career within a crappy Franchise (one who even Barry Sanders quit on and walked away from the game on) and probably has another 4-5 years left in his tank but I'd much rather be around for the birth of Trevor Lawrence rather than witness the decline and near retirement of Stafford (father time is still undefeated and waits for no man).

Exactly. Good counting stats but if you watch the guy play you want him nowhere near your franchise, same as Cousins.

If he hasn't then maybe he's heard the expression

What we are doing to Sam the Lions did to Joey Harrington.  Every team has busts.  But because so much pathos follows this team... our travails have to be so epic. Quinnin is fulfilling his promise and Mims looks like a good receiver.  And I dare say Bryce Hall made some nice plays on Sunday. But we are too busy to notice wallowing in own tears. 

In a few month will have a new coach and a new QB.  And while I understand feeling sh*tty about the present.  But it makes no sense to feel worse about a future that hasn't even happened yet. 

[jgb]

Seems like Stafford is "available" every year.

[JoJoTownsell1]

Stafford is a really good QB and if we weren't picking 1/2 this year I would definitely want him but we need to take advantage of this disaster of a season by trying to pick a cheap young franchise QB.

[choon328]

The Jaguars would actually make sense as a landing spot for Stafford. They have a good young defense and good young weapons on offense. They could trade out of the 2nd pick to acquire more assets or stay put and take the best tackle in the draft to protect him. It would make a ton of sense if they're looking to win quickly. They are going to have 4 picks in the top 48 and about $60 million in cap space this offseason. They can get really good really quickly with a QB like Stafford. 

[Philc1]

Stafford is done

 

if we don’t get Lawrence draft Penei Sewell and sign Jameis Winston

They’d be way better off sticking with Rivers which is what they are going to do 

[New York Mick]

No

[heymangold]

my 2nd choice after TLaw would be Dak.  after Dak it's Fields.  after Fields it's any other QB in the draft.  then Darnold.  THEN Stafford.

[Integrity28]

Good for Matt. Has nothing to do with us and our QB situation, but good for him - he deserves an opportunity to win.

[BCJet]

While I dont blame Stafford for the Lions failures, he is too old and injury prone for a team this young. 

That being said, I think a more reasonable question would be some sort of deal with Dallas for Dak, who is only 27 years old. Dallas will be picking in the top 10, which could make facilitating a deal more reasonable as they would need to send us Dak (along with the Jets singing him long term) and giving up their first rounder for Lawerence.  Could be interesting. 

[ScarletKnight89]

If the Jets don't get Lawrence they should target Fields.

I'm not interested in trading for an expensive 32 year old QB with a lot of wear and tear on him already.

Denver w/ sutton and jeudy?

[sec101row23]

Stafford makes no sense for the Jets.   He’ll replace Cam up in New England.

I know Stafford has been injury prone,

8 straight seasons with 16 starts, then misses 8 games and hasnt missed a game this year.  He broke his back and  missed his first game since 2010, ending a streak of 136 straight starts.  Stafford's streak was the 6th longest for a quarterback in league history.

What? 

Equally, Stafford saying he'll figure his future out later translates into Detroit making him available how exactly?  

Your threads are so Giant like

[GKnight83]

You need to watch Stafford play more often.  He is way over rated in my opinion and I see him play a lot.
