Don't you think this team SHOULD be able to complete? Not when we have to give up at least 3 first round draft picks to do it....ESPECIALLY if the #2 has to be in play.

Jets0712 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Peyton was definitely elite but both his SB titles were won on the back of great defense(just like his brother).

We may disagree on the best route to obtain one, but we all agree we want one. I'm not sure "let" is the right word in your post above, as it implies we have direct control over the outcome on the Watson situation. We most certainly do not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I guess I just disagree. I think having a high 2nd rounder and two thirds this year. Having a first, a second and two thirds next year and all of our picks in 2023 is plenty. Especially when you know you have a FQB in place. My whole point, and I mention this ad nauseum, is that the Jets can afford to trade for Watson because they have a lot of draft capitol and it won't completely strip them of resources for the next 2-3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deshaun has said that he will no longer play for the Texans. He has also said that his top team is the Jets. The Jets have the most ammo. If we don't get him, it was our choice to let him go.

Get the elite QB and then get the balance Houston had Watson, never reached a conference championship - go ahead and blame coaching, but on paper Houston had far better squad than the Jets have today. Having us shed multiple #1 picks to lock a (potential) superstar QB to a crap team might not be the ideal way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost to the Colts 21-7. Watson was 29/49 for 235 yards 1 TD and 1 INT. Not great but then I saw that he rushed for 76 yards and the entire rest of the team rushed for 29 yards. That's a problem. In fact it resembles the Bills box score from yesterday a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Treehorn Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think JD wants to prove himself and draft a good team, rather than buying his way to one. More prestige in building through the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Let's be honest here. What you need is not an elite QB but a first ballot HOF QB. The last 20 years the AFC has been dominated by first ballot HOF'ers (Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger and now it looks like Mahomes is picking up the mantle. Guys like Rivers have been elite, might even be a first ballot HOF'er who played on some really good Charger teams but in the end could not even get his team to a Super Bowl. You better have a first ballot HOF'er at QB, a really good OL to protect that HOF'er and a really good HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort is usually pretty solid but yes he could be wrong. Miami Sports writers said that Saleh makes the Jets, Watsons top choice. The story was retweeted by Schefty who again is usually pretty solid, but could be wrong. I'm not trying to mislead or break any news but if you take whats out there as true, the Jets are in the drivers seat for Watson. Will we make it happen or will we let him go somewhere else?

So no quotes then, no evidence, just media speculation and unnamed "sources", most of which are countered by other media claims from other media talking heads in other towns saying the exact opposite. And you're talking all the "he totes loves the Jets" chatter as true, and ignoring all the other chatter completely. Mate, all I'm saying is, chill out. It's not nearly so cut and dried as you'd like to think, and being dishonest to yourself over it just sets you up for disappointment and misguided anger if it doesn't happen. It's Lawrence all over again. A ton of things have to consecutively go our way for Watson to be a Jet, we're not the only player in the game, and we're not special, and media puffery about preferences is just that, puffery. It's to sell papers and drive website hits. If the Texans cannot make him happy (tbd) with their coach hire, and if he's is made available (still tbd) and if we're willing to pay the exorbitant price (definitely tbd) and if Saleh and JD want the guy (yup, tbd) and if they evaluate him as worth the picks and who we could take with those picks (definitely tbd), and if we offer a better deal than any other bidder (tbd), it might happen. That's a hell of alot of if's. No, it's not the Jets "letting" him go elsewhere if it doesn't happen. I'm on record, I want Watson, and I hope we get him. But I also understand it's a very costly long shot, with a lot of reasons why it might not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 6 hours ago, PepPep said: So whats your point lol? What's your argument? Obviously you don't HAVE to have an elite QB to win a SB. Everyone knows that. Trent Dilfer won one. But does it help. Yes. A LOT. Like, A LOT, A LOT. Because you have to get there first. You have to get through the regular season and the playoffs. It's critical to have an elite QB for those games. And if your argument is that paying an elite QB is somehow going to drain your resources so much that you won't be able to field a SB contenting team around him, well thats absurd. There are countless examples of elite QBs who had big contracts and made it to the big game or at least were on dominant teams that were good enough to compete for SBs year in year out. Pats, Saints, Hawks, Cowboys (90s), Bills (90s), Giants, I mean I can go on and on and on. It's a complete fallacy that you HAVE to win a SB with a QB under a rookie contract or you're in trouble b/c of his contract. What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got picks out the wazoo, he's got a new psycho motivated HC, he's got FA cash, he's got Watson's attention, he's got options. Only Macc or Idzik could screw this up.
