fullblast Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Come on bro. You only tank and fall 1 pick short for franchise-altering QBs. That said, “Cave on for Kayvon” does have a nice ring. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You people are acting like we just lost Lawrence Taylor. While this thread is nonsense I think people bringing up the sack total are also missing the point. Any further analysis of Lawson shows that he’s an outstanding pass rusher who’s steadily improved since entering the league. The camp reports seemed to indicate he could be about to take his game to another level and become that premiere pass rusher. Now we’ll never know. It’s not just that we lost him, it affects the whole line and front 7, which he was probably the most integral part of. The tanking talk is ridiculous but this really, really hurts the team. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It affects the whole defense. The thought of having a young, inexperienced secondary was based on the fact the d line was supposed to be dominant. Now it looks average at best with Q as the only standout. We could be getting torched on a weekly basis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copernicus Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Not rooting for losses, especially after already drafting a franchise QB. Yes Lawson has looked great but time to see what Huff and Hamiclar Rashed can do. And its not like Saleh hasnt faced a similar situation with Bosa going down with injury. Next man up !

Lith Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I assume this thread was started as a joke. We have a young team that needs to learn how to win. Our defense took a hit today, but we still need this young core to learn how to win games. And hopefully Zach can do enough this season to make us feel like we finally have our QB. I would love to make the playoffs this year, but 6 or 7 wins and a young improving team picking 12 - 14 is still better than a 4 win season and top 5 pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s not act like the dude was due for a guaranteed 14+ sack season and ascend to all-pro status. Fans are simply so starved for football at this point to where they hang on to everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets723 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Why on earth would you root to tank. We just drafted a QB second overall. Look even with Lawson we weren’t a playoff team IMO BUT I still think we will win some games. Offense should be better with all the upgrades. Now is losing a bug blow? Of course but this isn’t a 1-2 win team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s easy to take this stance now that he literally can’t but no it’s disingenuous to say he only feasted on Becton’s struggles. He got sacks in both days against GB, just read today’s reports prior to him going down. Just look at his pressure numbers, look at the company he was in. Go look at the reaction of Bengals fans when they heard he wasn’t resigning. The hype over Lawson was based on far more than camp reports. He was a very good player improving every year. It sucks for him that he doesn’t get a chance to prove he could take that next step. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why it is devastating Lawson is a loss, but the Jets overall DL and their ability to get after the QB should still be improved over last year provided that we don’t get slammed with more injuries. Between Quinnen, Rankins, JFM, Huff, Curry, Blair, etc the Jets should be able to get after the QB more so than at least the last 5+ years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but sans a legit pass rusher... sure... others can fill in the job... or they can scheme around their personnel but this hurts... I was so excited to see a game changer again on the edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
