bostonmajet Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 IMO signing Rodgers is jumping the shark. We need to trade or release Davis, JFM and we should have enough money to sign Q, maybe sign an offensive weapon and sign a mid-tier QB. Look at all of the really good teams that did okay with a mid-tier QB - or even Mr. Irrelevant. Sending picks and spending 40 million/year for an aging QB who has run other coaches out of town and hasn't been winning just doesn't make any sense to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have selected him if they hadn’t traded back and taken….Denzel Mims. Nobody is talking up the 2020 draft, but Hurts seems like a strange choice to complain about. The Eagles deserve praise for selecting him, but consensus-wise he went pretty early. Hard to fault teams for passing on him. Particularly when they were still in "rescue Darnold" mode.

I’ve pretty much reached the point where if a QB gets selected and turns out to be good and the Jets had an opportunity to draft him then it’s on the GM for not doing his job. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 2 hours ago, Flea Flicking Frank said: This goes back to my exact point, who in the building knows what the hell they are doing with the QB position. When we selected ZW, who was evaluating him? Obviously scouts did, but you need way more than just scouts to evaluate the QB. You need a HC or someone on the Offensive staff who knows what they are looking at, and how the player fits into what they want to do offensively. I remember reading back at the draft that Saleh could not go to evaluate ZW personally, and MLF did and spoke highly of him, JD has no history with the QB position to fall back on. If the Jets are serious about getting a QB, they need to bring someone into the fold who knows what they are doing with the QB, we still don't have that as far as I can tell. Douglas was the guy pushing for the Ravens to take Flacco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The Packers are completely screwed with this contract. They basically have to get someone to assume a $110mm obligation to pay Aaron Rodgers over two years. That is just crazy, but Rodgers has the Packers where he wants them. They can't cut him or they basically can't field a team in 2023. The Jets would crazy to assume that contract, and I don't know why Rodgers would agree to amend it, other than him wanting out. What this requires is multiple games of chicken and large cajones. Given his age the Jets should be on the hook for paying Rodgers $40mm/year, for three years if he wants to play for three years, with a forward looking injury guaranty. For that we will pay a 2nd in 2023 and 1st in 2024 if we make the playoffs in 2023. That sounds fair to me. To get there, the Jets will need to release an assortment of good but overpaid players. This is a big gamble on the Jets/JD's part. The long term sustainable success plan is out the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmhertz Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 6 hours ago, Matt39 said: Too many missed picks. No one has stuck really via FA. Most notably Tomlinson and Davis being busts. No quarterback obviously. Rodgers isn’t coming here. Oline is a mess. Best player coming off of ACL. This was the off-season to reset again. Now you have Douglas in desperation mode. Adding to the FA part of your thread, do not add a free agent from the Bengals whoever they replace him with will be the better player. When we signed Lawson, idiot experts, Nania & Blewett were saying how much better he was than their replacement Hendrickson. We know how that turned out. This year the fat bald headed genius solved our TE problem by signing Uzomah. The senile product of nepotism signed Haden Hurst at one third his salary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

football guy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 7 hours ago, johnnysd said: Well we need to sign Huff, and a Carr or Rodgers takes all of that easy $40 million and that is without extending Q or signing Huff. We are fine without the huge QB contract but it gets pretty tight if we do Rodgers cap hit would be $16 million. Guess is any team trading for Carr will restructure his contract, likely bringing his cap hit down to ~$15 million as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 11 hours ago, Sperm Edwards said: This is just factually incorrect. There is zero cap problem fitting any veteran QB and both QW brothers. There’s room for all 3 and more. It’s a matter of choosing if the team would rather have an expensive veteran QB or a few other 8-figure/year veterans (Tomlinson, Lawson, and a couple more) whose production isn’t nearly up to par with their compensation and/or team needs. That’s on top of the ease of backloading plenty of 2023 hits to 2024 when the team will/should be staring at some $125MM with a QW extension paid for (but before adding a new QB or anyone else). That figure is way too much room to save for one offseason. Rams fit Stafford kupp donaldson and a bunch of other high priced dudes but we can’t have Q and Carr… riiiight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge Jimmy G fan, but sure - Carr sure... he is certainly young enough with a lot to prove... Even a QB like Tannehill. Reasonably young and decent is probably good enough - especially if we get our OL fixed and Hackett isn't a total waste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
