Jetster Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Ok. Here we are again Jet fans at a crossroads in our storied history of failure for 52 years & we are arguing over sending DRAFT PICKS to obtain a true Franchise QB who has proven himself in this league & who I have seen take the Texans on his back & win games even though his team was outgunned. I've seen him go into Gillette & put a scare into the Patriots a few times, even though he came out on the short end he stood out as a player that had arrived. He's smart, he's got eyes in the back of his head in the pocket, he's gotten better each year under extreme adversity & stupidity by ownership. This is the NEW YORK JETS chance to get lucky & find our Drew Brees similar to the Saints lucking out years ago obtaining a franchise QB. Imagine if Miami didn't screw up & picked Brees instead of Culpepper? Now imagine Miami getting Deshaun Watson. Anyone here who thinks that the Jets should not trade for Deshaun Watson but in the same breath say they don't want to see him in the same division playing for Miami are nuts! If Deshaun Watson is available? And we don't do everything we can to keep him from getting to Miami, you know damn well that if Belichick stays on in New England & finds a QB, the Jets will go through another 20 years of looking up at everyone at 7-9, 8-8 for years. Just what we need. Josh Allen & Deshaun Watson playing in our division, 2 guys we passed on in consecutive years just like we passed on Dan Marino haunting us for another decade & a half! I don't know if I could take it? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 12 hours ago, RedBeardedSavage said: My understanding of the situation is that it's not about social justice. The owner told Watson he'd be consulted during the hiring of the GM and coach going forward and then failed to do so, hired a GM without consulting with Watson, and did not even ask for an interview for the coach that Watson recommended. That's broken promises or lies on the part of the organization, and Watson feels betrayed. The wisdom of the Texans making that promise in the first place is definitely worth debating, but after having agreed to it, it's absolutely understandable why Watson would be upset. BTW, I notice you still have a 'Fire Bowles' avatar... and not a 'fire Gase' avatar... Yeah I wrote this a day or two ago. May have been dumb to open that door in the first place, but once he did it then it was 10x dumber to turn around and reneg on it. 10 hours ago, Pac said: How many 1st rounders is too much? Saying I'd trade Seattle's firsts as well as an additional 2nd OR the 2nd pick overall and a 2nd is not a "bit". Why not give them 10 first rounders? That oughta get er' dun. 10 first rounders.

Plus -- correct me if I am wrong -- the Jets could opt to restructure him and accelerate a bunch of his salary into a bonus and take a huge cap his this year to limit his cap impact even further in future years (I believe the rule is you can pro-rate the bonus evenly over the years of the contract, but don't have to). We don't need that money to extend anyone in-house and I don't know if JD is even interested in that much value in FA contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillyjet Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I have been a fan of bringing back Darnold and rebuilding the rest of the team, but when a player like Watson becomes available, it's a no-brainer. You need to do your do diligence. This is a major upgrade, and that comes from someone who thinks that Darnold is going to be a solid player in this league with the right players and offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need that money to extend anyone in-house and I don't know if JD is even interested in that much value in FA contracts. They absolutely could, but it wouldn't really matter. First they'd do it as a roster bonus not signing bonus (same thing to the player - a giant lump payment - but RB is like salary and SB gets prorated/amortized over the remaining years). The only reason to do that is if they're coming up on the 4-year "time to count" year where the league sees to it each team has spent at least 89% of the salary cap for the past 4 years, and they're under and need to show more spending to avoid penalty. The last 4-year period I think was 2017-2020, and 2021 is y1 of the next 4-year period so there wouldn't be any reason to do it. If his cap number is low in 2021 and they have leftover instead of paying him more cash this year, that leftover just forward over to 2022. If I'm wrong on some of this I welcome/invite someone to make corrections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindOverMatter Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I wasn't on board with this in the beginning since the Jets finally have loads of draft capital to improve the roster thru the draft. But how often is a Franchise QB that is under 26 available for trade? And furthermore how often are the Jets the favorite to land that guy? F it get Watson in here, JD will most likely trade back from 23 or the 2nd round spot anyway so we can get back some capital. Imagine going from Darnold to Watson, that's a jump from ~31-32 to top 5. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won only 4 games last year. They actually need a reset because of the damage Bill Obrien did. JJ watt will be gone too. They missed their opportunity cycle having to play at Gillette & losing in the playoffs. Its been downhill since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
