Popular Post pointman Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2023 The idea that we are turning down Lamar as if we are doing so well at Qb is insane to me. The money, its Woody's. Who cares. "but pointman, thats money we can't spend elsewhere". Other GMs spend and make it work. An elite QB costs. Let Woody pay. Mike White in the same sentence as Lamar is comical. White was a cute story, but he isn't a starting QB. And did I see Jacoby Brissetts name mentioned? Jacoby. Brissett. The best part about Brissett is that his name sounds like Brisket. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in fact he is skipping the playoff game out of fiscal self-interest, I want nothing to do with that kind of player. Of course I want nothing to do with him anyway, but I’d want even less that before. Guy who sells out his team, in the playoffs, is a dick. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’m not even sure I want Lamar Jackson here with the Jets.

BigRy56 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The people who don’t want the Jets to get Lamar would also be up in arms talking about how the Jets are doomed for a decade and same old Jets if Miami got him. Sure he has his problems, like any player who changes teams, but he is an elite playmaker and QB. The Jets have never ever had a QB of his talent 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The options are pretty simple You want to keep the picks and go after Carr/Jimmy or give up picks and go after Jackson. Jackson gives the Jets the best chance of a long term answer at QB. Jimmy G and Carr are at best stop gaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 To me it comes down to this. Nobody here would say we aren’t in desperate need of a QB. The question then becomes do you think we are a very good QB away from contending for a Super Bowl? If you say yes, then you sign a Lamar Jackson, because he is the best QB likely to be available. If you say no, then you continue the “rebuild”, bring in someone who gives you close to average level QB play at a low price, keep Wilson and hope he becomes better than that guy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want ZERO parts of Carr. He's not that good, and he's a horrible leader. He lacks self awareness and accountability. It got so bad, the Raiders had to keep him away from the team because he became too much of a distraction. And this isn't even a kid like Zach Wilson, this is a 30 year old man. The fact that people are pushing for Carr after what we went through with Wilson is hilarious ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB said that before a game. He always gasses an opponent up before a game. And while Lamar can be an effective passer, the part of his game that makes him a star is his legs.

The unfortunate truth is that we're probably screwed. The only QB that seems like a good fit, imo, is TB12. But it probably won't happen.

But you'd also be getting Super Bowl upside with him. If you trade for Lamar, he's going to get an albatross contract. Heck, if we sign Carr, he'll demand a slightly shorter albatross contract. If those guys don't work out, we're stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His legs are his game and he's already breaking down. Carr is mediocre and doesn't elevate his team but will be paid like an elite QB. He will cost us the chance to re-sign some of our star young players. TB12 is lower cost (plus wouldn't require a trade), short-term commitment, and with Super Bowl upside. And if there's really any belief about developing ZW, he'll be the best mentor. TB12 is EASILY the best option we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
