No, Thuney is not the missing piece is a championship run, the Jets are highly unlikely to win a championship while Thuney is under contract. But that's not the only reason to spend big. Right now - EVERYTHING the Jets do should be about developing a franchise QB - having a piece like him would be invaluable to a young QB. And of great value to Beckton and a Creed Humphrey if we're lucky enough to draft him. A future pro bowler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 10 minutes ago, FidelioJet said: Just out of curiosity. What should the Jets spend all this money on? one year deals of other teams' back-ups? This is a league of playmakers, you don't win with a team of JAGS. If you don't draft them, which we haven't. You have to spend to acquire them. I don't understand the fascination with not spending Woody Johnson's money - or care how much money Joe Thuney makes. We're nowhere near tapping out the cap and have no good players to pay. What are we saving it for? I liked both players, but they got love money. There was no chance of the 2-14 Jets getting Thuney without paying $20M/year once the Chiefs were involved, and I don't even know if that would've done it. Linsley, with one pro bowl under his belt at 30, is now the highest paid center in the league. These were the types of crazy contracts that happen this early. I don't mind missing out on them. Neither constitutes a "playmaker." Last I looked, the Jets still have that money and a couple draft picks, too. I've been the offseason champions before. Let the Patriots enjoy that honor today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I'm just so frustrated with the way Sam was handled and I'm pretty sure we'll be bringing in another rookie QB this off-season. Was really hoping to have a strong online around him to get started. It's early, I get that. I'm trying not to overreact but I honestly thought one of those two was a lock.

That's one less playmaker that could have been available to us in the draft. What could have been a Rondel Moore now probably has to be an offensive lineman. What could have been Najee Harris or a Terrance Marshall, now could be a Trey Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't WANT to bring him back. But with this o-line? They'll just ruin Zach Wilson too. Why bother? After whiffing today, there are so many damn holes to fill that they might be best off trading down from #2 to get as many picks as possible. Still not the most likely outcome in my opinion, and I want Wilson personally, but this argument does look better than it did yesterday. Seriously? The future of the QB position was dependent on signing 1 of 2 of the top free agent OL? I would've liked to see the OL strengthened as well, but if KC was after Thuney and willing to pay top dollar, why would he sign with the Jets? That means 10-15 were competing for Linsley. The Jets should determine the future of the QB position based on their evaluation of the QBs and Darnold, not based on a free agent miss. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GQMartin Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The Jets should have figured out the QB situation prior to FA. Players could probably look past a team coming off a poor record but won’t overlook the fact that said team seemingly has no solutions for the bad record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 It was day 1 of FA. There are many moves to be made. They basically only missed out on Thuney which hurts but doesn't change the direction of the offseason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammybighead Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Argument weakens. How the hell is management going to sell another year of Sam running for his life behind a porous oline on our way to a 3 win season? At least with Wilson you can sell the hope of a new QB. Nobody wants to watch the Jets average 13 ppg all season again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The problem is that if we keep the second pick we should only want to use it on a qb we don't want to waste the pick on a left tackle when we already have a left tackle....it is either qb or trade for some teams entire draft there are no other options with that pick imoSent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets should determine the future of the QB position based on their evaluation of the QBs and Darnold, not based on a free agent miss. Linsley would have changed the entire look of this line and the whole offense. Major, major upgrade at center and an improvement at guard with McGovern moving over. With $80 million in cap space, he would be the one guy I splurge on. Nothing to lose but unused cap space. I would have gladly overpaid. Now, the interior of the line is still a mess. No one to mentor a young QB on line calls. Pressure will be coming up the middle all day everyday. Darnold is used to backpeddaling already. Play to his strength there for this year and hopefully by 2022, we can fix things inside for the next guy to take the snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there is so much dislike for him by the fans that he would have to be almost perfect in order for them to accept him. We all know Sam is not the perfect type so it could get really ugly and unbearable for him this season. Joe has got to recognize this and get him out of here for Sam's own well being.

But as things go on I think they are using FA to get the positions they won’t be drafting too high and get the players they take later at those positions time to acclimate and hopefully become future starters. I think we can expect them to take at least two O lineman early that have the potential to be plug in starters.

Greensleeves Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 16 hours ago, FidelioJet said: Such a silly argument. You need to support your QB - you need to develop that QB. You don't just stick him out there and say good luck. What recent trend of young QB's became good in bad situations? It's not really. Do you think great players play bottom of the league level just because their support isn't as good? It Never happens (capital N). If you are looking for a serviceable QB, yes, it happens. The real franchise QBs lift players around them. I know you are ready to move on, but Sam had decent line play at the end of last year (they beat the #1 D) and Mims, Perriman and Crowder were running wide open often and Sam wasn't finding them. Flacco found them more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Flacco - a less mobile has-been - got sacked far less often behind that 2020 line, and half his 4 games were without Becton. At some point the common denominator has to be Darnold. Nobody thinks he was in an ideal situation at all. But he made it even worse. That's not some automatic that there'd be the same results with a totally different QB in a different system with more talent to throw to. Also there's still the rest of FA and the draft beyond a RT at #2. You'd think the Chiefs had studs 5 across all year long. Most of the year they started 4 jags and Fisher.
