Now the narrative’s are: 1. First, let’s pray for a Jags win out of their ass and two more Jets losses 2. First instinct, however, is fear they play well these final two games and Gase/Darnold are back. There’s where genuine apocalyptic thoughts enter my brain. If Gase is back, There’s no words, Max will have to ban me bc I’ll be that unhinged. If just Darnold is back you have to pray they ace their picks AND ace their new HC (like basically a miracle happens) and Darnold really grows up under this new regime). I’ll give that a 5% likelihood being optimistic 3. Even tho Fields isn’t the slam dunk maybe him or one of these other guys ....STOP....you know what **** this.... whatever. Just whatever If a coach is only coming here for one specific player then I don't want him anywhere the team. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the biggest issue with losing #1, moreso than Trevor himself. 1) Chargers 2) Jags (can swap 1/2 if you want) 3) Maybe the Jets? It really wouldn't shock me if more coaches were interested in the Texans and Falcons jobs over us. Losing Trevor hurts this franchise in more ways than one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a nice dude he's not LeBron No single NFL player can save a team when the roster has 55 dudes and average player career is less than 3 years So ... you're saying not to put money on a Jax Superbowl win in the next 4/5 years, correct? I'm still trying to recall the last #1 pick QB to go on and win a Superbowl ... I think it's Manning, correct? From 2004. And prior to that it was ... Manning, correct? In 25 years that's two #1 QBs who won the Superbowl. But yeah, without TLaw we're screwed ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wouldn't shock me if more coaches were interested in the Texans and Falcons jobs over us. Losing Trevor hurts this franchise in more ways than one. I'd be wary of going to the Falcons ... that's a team that are needing to move on from their top QB, top wideout / player overall, and don;t have the draft capital or cap space that we have. Texans have hardly any draft capital at all and are lacking talent at a lot of spots. Chargers may hang on to Lynn, hard to say ... they're playing well, just struggling to close it out. May want continuity for Herbert rather than a fresj start. Jags vs. Jets - small market vs. big market; might appeal to some, deter others. So it's tough to say who has the "best offer" - but our cap situation and draft capital are still the best on offer, TL or no TL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been a fan of Sam but he hasn't had a chance here and TL would be stepping into a worse roster than Sam did in 2017 The assumption is that TL is perfect and will be awesome no matter what is a pretty huge assumption. It's betting that the Jets won't ruin him. Which we all know is a terrible bet And this is not a pro Sam post. I want the Jets to open up a qb competition not coronation for another savior All these threads portending that "this guy" is the savior reminds me of Life of Brian ...

thebuzzardman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I guess it could be speculated that Trevor Lawrence MIGHT not be the savior, but it's pretty damn sure this ginger blockhead Sam isn't. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fight with the army you have, not the one you'd like to have. And for the Jets, the best possible component would have been Lawrence. When then would you expect the Jets to have a shot at any QB worth a damn? It's a zero sum game. You are not going to have that perfect day when it all comes together. You need to add quality pieces at key positions (like not taking a safety over a QB, but let me go bang my head against the wall for another few decades). Lawrence would have been a HUGE piece. Now that's gone because of stupidity, malfeasance and total incompetence. They Jets AGAIN won a crap December game that basically crushed their franchise again. Darnold played a decent half probably after some time with his family in his hometown. You can't build on that. The Jets don't play in LA all that often. Unfathomable The Johnsons did not convey via Hymie Whatshisname that The Tank was a priority, play the kids, rest the good players. It's rank incompetence, but typical. In pro sports, tanking is 1. not unprecedented and 2. while frowned upon not punished. The Johnsons are such complete half-assing dolts they can f___ up f____ing things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with him about the team being garbage and worrying about TL’s impact because of it. Now that it’s moot point, we do need to just focus on building the team and I wouldn’t even waste a high pick on a QB until the team is fixed and coached up by a vet QB.

munchmemory Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 What a classic NY Jet moment: The team pulls out an improbable win and folks start talking about Super Bowls and the greatness of an obvious scrub QB.

Something to cling onto in another lost season that this is all some sort of grand plan.

The latest "once in a generation talent" was Andrew Luck ... I must read up on the definition of "generation" sometime, it gets banded around way too much. My question is - If TL is all that, and he goes to Jacksonville, or comes here, how likely is it that he'll win a Superbowl with that team? I get that the chances for that team will be higher than they will be without him, but it's not going to improve the chances that much. If you start with a 3% chance (roughly 1 in 32), TL isn't going to suddenly make that 20% or 10%. 3.5%? 4%?

The draft is not just about the prospect in a vacuum it's the fit between player and the team Could TL be amazing in NYC? Sure. He certainly has the talent.
