If at first you don't succeed, throw your bike. Ha, no training wheels for this girl. Basically what happened was my Daddy would hold on to the back of my bike seat while I pedaled on 189th Street in Flushing and then he'd let go. Several crashes into a chain link fence and several scraped knees and elbows on the concrete sidewalk later, I stopped wiping out. And that's how little jeto learned how to ride a bike. What was this about again? The Jets blowing pineapple chunks most of my life. Right. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, much lower rushing numbers. And that's not to say that Watson is going to be a better QB than Rodgers. No shlt, at Watsons age Rodgers hadn't had a season of starting football.

You brought up shot gun offenses and that Houston geared their offense around Watson as if that was a detriment. I like Sam. Hes not Watson. Will never be Watson. It was my fault for not being clear. The assumption is if Watson is in Miami, we don't have a chance in the division, with Allen also. I'm not buying in to that assumption. Watson is a very good QB. In a spread offense. I also don't by into absolutes about Watson can't be outperformed by a Darnold led offense. As far as Watson coming here, he isn't a fit in a WCO. So unless LaFluer changes his offense, that would be one more reason why he won't be here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the Jets to have a top-notch starting QB; I don’t require the luxury of picking or discarding people from the mix for whatever other reasons (let alone because I have outed myself as having expressed doubts about this or that one). No doubt competition can be a heavy (and necessary) motivator for some, but I don’t see a primary or secondary problem of Darnold’s as stemming from a lack of motivation. There haven’t been any leaks in 3 years that he’s dogging it in the weight room, missing meetings, not really knowing the playbook, or is giving only minimal effort because he’s had 100% job security with no competition. Point well taken. Putting my self in his shoes, i'd be rather angry with the non stop speculation about QB''s coming in to take my job. Anger can be a great motivator.

That means we have all our draft capital still and JD can continue to build an actual talent rich team. Yes, kicking the QB can down the road stinks. Yes, watching Miami and the Bills compete for the division stinks. But the desperate search for quick fixes has put this team behind for a decade. I agree that the Jets can build a great team with all the draft picks they have. I agree that in the past they have tried quick fixes in FA and via trade and failed, often putting themselves in cap hell. However, this scenario with Watson is unprecedented. You just don't see a Pro Bowl caliber QB in his prime come on the trade market like this and you just don't see the Jets in one of the best positions (both financially and with the draft capital they have) to make a move for him without having to strip their team of assets or cashflow for the foreseeable future. I mean, this just doesn't happen very often, if ever, and certainly not to the Jets. Missing out on Watson and having him go to your rival wouldn't necessarily be a nightmare scenario. The Jets can't worry about what other teams are doing, they need to focus on getting better themselves. But I think if JD did not make a real push for Watson it would be a mistake and could potentially put us in a position where we are stuck without a FQB and at best an average team despite talent around him, leading the Jets to mediocrity for years and years. THAT sounds like a nightmare scenario to me. I think JD needs to make a serious push for Watson and if the price is too steep or the trade simply doesn't happen, draft a QB at #2 and take a swing for a FQB. Darnold is done with the Jets, IMO, and his contract situation does not help his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think if any team goes bonkers, though, it'll be the Panthers. PS - I think JD could offer 3 #1's if it was spread out (like 1 of the 2 from this year, 1 of the 2 from next year, and a 2023 1st round pick). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
