Bronx Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Adam Schefter There are roughly 10 QBs locked into starting jobs for Opening Day of the 2021 NFL season. This is expected to be an unprecedented offseason of QB movement. My Over/Under of teams changing QBs this off-season is 18. I’ll go with the over.

JetsFanatic Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I would love Watson, but I don’t think he will end up with the Jets. If the Texans trade him, I’m still skeptical, they will try hard to trade him out of the Conference. While I do believe Douglas will do his due diligence it will be hard to get him here.

It won't be hard, all he has to do is back up the truck and dump all the draft capital he built up for the last 2 seasons.

Watson can say no to a trade but Watson really can't force a trade. IMO the Texans will work out whatever rift that exists between the two in the offseason.

However, there may be a way to trade a number of picks and still have picks. For instance thanks to the Adams trade the Jets have five # 1 picks over the next three years. You can trade 3 ones and still have a plethora of picks. However I remain skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68JET11 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Sure let's dump all the draft capitol that JD has built up, that hopefully landed us a great coach this time, just so we can have that ONE player on the team that will lead us to 4-12 this time next year, instead of 2-14. He'll lead the league in passing and have great completion percentage, but we'll still be 4-12... That should sit well with all of us.

Like it all with the exception of trading 3 1st's for Watson. I'm only trading the 2 firsts we got from Seattle along with the third, because they are picks we never had until we traded JA. I'm sure other picks or player compensation could be worked out with those 2 firsts and 3rd. Under no circumstances do you part with #2 this year, should JD choose to trade down to acquire some of those picks back while still trading for Watson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Seahawks gave us two 1st for an All-Pro box safety it was because they were a good to great team and the picks were likely to be borderline bottom half first round picks. Do we really have to give up more than two 1st for a disgruntled quarterback with a no trade clause who wants to play for Robert Saleh? I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when youre dealing a player with a no trade clause who by virtue of that clause gets to pick where he wants to be. I just think if we're really interested JD can sit tight and let Houston come to him and then play hardball with those picks. Its unbelievably rare for a team to trade 3 1's for anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. I know you have to build through the draft in this league. But those against the Watson trade are inflating the worth of those picks way too high. And even if you could guarantee all the picks we trade away would have been a hit, an elite QB beats the combined efforts of a talented G, WR2 and TE (or whatever) every time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good faith in our GM, and for that matter our new HC, on what to do with those picks, and possible FA moves. Just love you guys willing to throw that all away. How did that work out moving up for Darnold who I might add everyone on this board was t!ts on getting... So we should waste draft capitol now on both Watson and Lattimore, because so many think that we're only 2 players away.... You know I respect you guys @Jetsfan80 and @Dcat, but this is backwards thinking. I'll say this once again for those who think they know how to build a team. You build in the trenches first before anything, otherwise you won't have a stable foundation no matter how good your QB is. Once you're there, then you add the skill positions, or along the way if you think the foundation is much stronger. Think of our teams like the sack exchange, and the OL's we've had. I know we've never had a good QB for most of those good teams, but that would have been the time to add one with teams like that. Our best shot should have been to get rid of Todd, and add a QB to that team, or 98 with Vinnie, and he wasn't even elite, but the TEAM behind him was good enough to win the SB. Unfortunately we don't have nearly as good a team as those. Stop trying to fool yourselves into thinking that Watson is going to do us any good until at least 3 years from now, and even maybe not then if the picks you guys are throwing around to send off to Houston and NO, for Watson and Lattimore. Crazy talk. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy talk. ? We can build up the trenches while also trading for Watson. This is not an either/or scenario. A Watson-led rebuild won't take 3 years. And even if it did, he'd still be only 28 years old by then. Plenty of Super Bowl contention years would be ahead. Comparing trading for Watson to trading up for Darnold is completely laughable. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Allen is that good a qb (with the exception of the run dimension he adds). And yes, Mahomes is great. But it's also nice to throw a pass to a wr behind the los and record a 50+ yard gain. None of that would be present on a Jets team with Watson.

Part of Allen's success this year was Diggs and the rest of the supporting cast. A bigger part of his success was the improvements he made himself. He was an inaccurate, turnover prone QB his first 2 years in the league. He didn't suddenly find accuracy or better decision making because of his surrounding talent. He worked insanely hard to get to this point where he has the look of, and production of, a top 10 QB, which isn't supposed to happen for a QB with his resume. And no, Watson wouldn't be "running for his life". Because quality QB's like Watson make their OL better through better pre-snap reads and by getting the ball out quickly. The OL really wasn't that bad this year. It wasn't good or even average, but it wasn't bad. Most of Darnold's problems were holding onto the ball too long. The OL looked just fine when Joe Flacco was under center. And the numbers support this viewpoint. Darnold sucks a LOT more than the Jets Offensive Line did. And adding Watson would not at all prevent the Jets O-Line from improving. We have a lot of free agent dollars and would have plenty of picks left to find some upgrades at G, C and RT. With or without Watson, we all know the OL needs work. It's just not nearly as bad as its currently situated as people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
