Keep a developmental guy in the pipe line even if inferior and then next man up. You expect the Eagles to just let Hurts walk? At age 24, he was one of the best QBs in the league last year. Imagine if the Jets drafted a QB, and at age 24, he put up the season Hurts just had. You'd really be ok letting him walk? Seems far-fetched. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an old man who openly complains about and downvotes penis jokes on the reg that we're talking about. "OK Boomer" is the appropriate response to just about anything he says on JN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a generalized point that didn’t @ you or wasn’t in response to you, you replied, and I expanded on my initial point in response. Not sure how you took it that anyone was accusing you of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that when/if the Jets finally hit on a FQB in the draft after decades of failure that there will be some tough guy Internet negotiating savants saying the Jets should tell him to pound sand and let him walk rather than pay him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhule and Joe Brady thought they could "fix" him. The trade itself, however, made much more sense than the decision for Carolina to hand Darnold the 5th-year option. Even if you're "all in" on Darnold, why not just wait to extend him after the season instead? Baffling decision that got people fired. @jgb I don’t get the victory lap those who wanted to keep Darnold are taking after Zach proved to be one of the worst busts in NFL history. The best course of action was to trade Darnold to the desperate, stupid Panthers and not draft Zach. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that if you pay these guys this much it by default makes the rest of the roster weaker. There has to be an amount or % beyond which it does more harm than good to exceed. The trend to pay more and more cap % to one player will eventually make it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
