Guy like minshew would be legit competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide which is funnier, bragging that a guy started six games last year, or referring to 66.7% as “nearly 70%” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggy001 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 25 minutes ago, rayzor said: Most would hate this move but it makes sense. A backup that can start a game or two. Dirt cheap. Tons of experience to impart and familiarity with the new offensive system though he had to be benched for Beathard. It’s Wilson or bust with this move. Or they actually think Morgan can compete. Yeah, jets are winning no more than 5 games next yr, so if Wilson were to get hurt and have to miss many games, they likely play Morgan, if its a series or two, or a game , likely Hoyer. At least, that Should be plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe kick the tires on Josh Allen while they are at it. Hardy har har. Not sure what that has to do with a street free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tranquilo Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sounds good to me. We can't afford to spend a ton of money on a back up QB. We just need a vet who understands the offense and can show Wilson the ropes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming here to mentor Wilson is not going to be high on his list of choices imo. The Texans are a reported landing spot for Smith which makes sense for him since he can beat out Taylor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 A couple of Hoyer clips from 2020 (with the Cheats) and 2019 (with the Colts). Actually looks better than I expected. There's still some zip in his passes, and he throws some very nice balls. He also throws a horrendous interception in the 2020 clip, but I guess that's why he's a backup: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 For the guys saying they want alex smith, if we signed him, he'd likely be signed to be the week 1 starter while the new QB sits back and learns. Alex smith has never been a full time back up and probably isn't willing to do so with everything he's been through to get back on the field. Additionally, I'd find it hard to believe that with how long he's been in the league and the money he has made, that he'd want to come to a team that's been completely gutted and has little to no proven talent. This situation isn't ideal...He'd be better off trying to land with a team like the bears or the dolphins where there is a chance he can take over at some point and the team is talented enough to compete.

UnknownJetFan Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 2 hours ago, Mogglez said: Eh. Not the best, but not the worst choice. He knows the Shanny system very well. He did play for the 49ers a few years ago, so will know the system to help guide the new QB with. Should be good, as an added bonus maybe he can help with game plans against NE since he has been there for the past 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I like Hoyer as a back up because he has watched more football than he has played, just like a back up should. Although he is god awful at football, he can teach Wilson things like how to lace up cleats and adjust the chin strap on the helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slimjasi Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hoyer is one of the worst QBs I have ever seen. I'd personally love for Morgan to be the backup this year. I think the "veteran QB mentor" thing is sooooooooooooooo overrated. Sam supposedly had the best veteran QB mentor on the planet. Somehow, this didn't stop him from throwing dumb interception after dumb interception. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB doesn't matter. In 2020 Joe Douglas had 26 JAG's on 1-year contracts and it looks like his 2021 strategy is to use FA and the draft to replace 6 of them and have 20 JAG's on 1-year contracts. It's a wonderful strategy if you want a 10 year rebuild and completely trust the guy picking the players. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand people want the rookie to earn playing time but there is a huge need for a older back up/teacher in the room. No there's not. This teacher is called a "coach." I never understood this old back up/mentor crap. That's the job of the QB coach. And the Jets are not competing for a SB, so there is no need to spend $ on an experienced top flight back up, nor is there incentive for such a back up to come here. McCown was supposedly a great mentor and here we are drafting another young QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
