Mark78 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 JAMES MORGAN! He was picked in the 4th round and has not seen a snap in a meaningless year. Why start Flacco in those games when we had 0 chance of making the playoffs; Especially after witnessing how inept Flacco was. For example, in a game last month Jake Luton, had a 68.4 completion percentage and 304 yards. He was a 6th rounder and was chosen 64 picks after Morgan. So, we used a 4th round pick on a backup QB who isn’t even good enough to see the field in a situation where losing may be the optimal outcome. This was a horrible pick and it is looking like an enormous project to even let him get a taste of an NFL game. 3 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I wish we had some recent news on Morgan's progress. I've been looking for some stuff but I don't see anything trending on his current career status. Just Gase saying he's not ready. Which I don't qualify at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post usanyj Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think it was tough on some rookies who have been deemed projects. No training camp and other protocols really hurt their development. Not saying it was a good pick, but I do think camp had a lot to do with rookie issues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in the Jets Organization, the Head Coach selects the players who play, the GM selects the players on the roster. You could argue that JD could have pulled a "Moneyball" move, and traded Flacco the way Beane traded Pena. But you should at the least understand who makes what decisions for the organization before you complain. Rostering Morgan was JD's decision. Starting Morgan was not, and is not, up to JD. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The pick didn't make any sense but im not judging if he's good or not based on him not making it out on the field.

We should actually get to see him in the preseason next year.

UntouchableCrew Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Douglas' major blunder was trading out Robby Anderson for Perriman to save a few bucks. I'm underwhelmed by our 4th round picks (all three of them) but a 4th round pick not contributing year one isn't the end of the world. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Mart Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Kirk Cousins anyone? When did it become draft picks need to be justified during their rookie year, especially a day 3 pick. You hope he never has to play meaningful snaps. But you hope he can become a worthy #2. Who knows after his 4 yr contract is up what his standing will be. Maybe he becomes a starter or a trade asset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckkieB Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 It was a stupid pick. For a team that needed help all over the field in 2020, to pick ANY player, regardless of position, that you know will not see one snap during the current season and will never likely play a meaningful down for you ever was just terrible IMO. Teams that need bodies and that have no talent cannot afford to waste pics on projects. Certainly not in the FOURTH round. JD needed to use every pick to grab players who he thought could contribute NOW. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Flacco was traded, he would not have played. White was behind Flacco, then Falk. Just don’t understand using a 4th round pick. The odds would say it's a wasted pick, yes. But we simply can't know (yet) for sure, we've never seen him in camp, we've never seen him in Preseason, we know Gase would never choose to play him in the regular season, and I wouldn't trust what we'd see under Gase anyway. Keep in mind, most 4ths and later are a crapshoot. The vaunted WR so many here at JN wanted at that pick, Gandy-Golden, has exactly 1 reception for 3 yards in 2020, on a team that really could have used another good WR. Lets see what the next Head Coach thinks. Lets see, if Morgan is retained, how he looks in camp 2021 and in preseason 2021. If he looks bad, yup, wasted pick, dump him and hopefully JD learns his lesson. But fundamentally, I have no issue with a developmental QB in the 4th given how poorly Darnold had been and how frequently he had missed time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Per @Jetsfan80, JD picked Morgan to be the Jets future QB1, so really it was the right move!!!!! Funny how life repeats itself. The same posters who held Macc as untouchable and spammed the board with "exec of the year" posts are the ones who still post Big Macc memes 20 months after his last paycheck with the team as a way to protect JD. Meanwhile, JD has been with the team for 19 months including a 2 win season, yet in those same posters minds, he's still playing 5D Chess while the rest of us are playing an abacus. Some posters never learn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted December 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2020 I would argue that a fans biggest blunder is thinking 4th Round QBs should be ready to play in their first season. I'd argue lots of 1st rounders aren't. And Jake Luton wasn't ready to play. If you actually watched any of those games that was clear. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our biggest needs going into 2021 is having a receiver to pair with Mims who can take the top over the defense. We could have just kept Robby and had a better team this year/moving forward.
