I root for losses as being the shortest path for us back for the Jets to becoming a winning team. Nothing negative about it. Once the season was dead and buried for us (pretty early on TBH) but once it was then the positive position from my point of view was hoping for the guy who can turn it around that fastest (Trevor Lawrence) I have been rooting for tragic losses. Losses where we were actually in the game until late. Most of the time I have gotten to see that. Not this past weekend to be sure but most of the time. I see glimmers of talent here and there and that is encouraging. We have a bushel of picks and our cap position also leaves us in a spot where we might be able to pick up significant pieces of the puzzle in a buyers market where the rest of the league needs to adjust to a downturn in the salary cap. There is nothing dishonorable or negative about my position from where I sit and frankly we have come close quite a few times only to get a meaningless win in the garbage time part of a schedule and this has screwed it all up. Not this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see how many First Round QBs played their first 3 years in the NFL without a dedicated position coach (because if my memory is correct, Darnold did not have a QB coach in year 1). It was and is a DISGRACE and why I said that the Jets let Darnold down!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would be his own stupidity. 1) He risks a career ending injury in school....for what? 2) If he goes back to school, the worst team next year will take him, and may not have all the endorsement dollars that comes with being a star QB in New York. 3) We might still be the worst team in 2022 draft, or we might have the draft capital to go and get him in 2022.

Showed a complete and utter lack of understanding of what to do once you draft a potential FQB. I would be very worried if I was TL. And who will be left next season from the coaching staff and management that caused that? Nobody. Of course, Jacksonville is a much better destination with a much better roster and a long history of developing quality QBs. The same people who are upset because the Jets may go 0-16 are contending that Lawrence should avoid the Jets. What kind of fans are you people?

Win, then build on the wins and win more. Build. We're the poster child for failure to build or maintain and have any consistency. Fish it is a pleasure as usual. I have appreciated debating with you over the years. I don't think the slippery slope argument applies in this case. To put it simply in a normal season the difference between the 15th pick or the 20th or whatever are simply not enough to justify any strategy or desire to lose games. In normal years the benefits of developing a defense or an offense, or making statement with a win in your own division far outweigh any marginal differences in draft order. This year for the Jets is not that. The draft value chart, albeit an imperfect tool is probably the best tool we have. The difference between the number 1 overall and the value of the pick 5 spots lower is 1300 points (from 3000 down to 1700) yet the same five spot difference later in the first round between 15th and 20th is only 200 points. The "value" is heavily weighted towards the very top of the first round. Now let's add in the idea that a generational QB may be coming out. How many points is his "value"? 6000? 9000? more? No sir the difference between the #1 overall pick this year and anything else for the Jets is worth every part of the tank which I fully believe has been underway for some time. Now you can argue that it is bad for the sport and on an intellectual level I would agree with you. But until they change the system to one where the worst teams go into a lottery or (even more unlikely) move to a European style relegation idea where ownership is really penalized for screwing up a franchise.... Well until something like that is the law of the land the current system simply provides too much benefit this year for the team who finishes last.
