I think right now there is one single player on the Jets that must be extended and thats Bryce Huff he also needs more snaps. And I'm happy to say I'm seeing Pass Rush improvement from a player I've been critical of Jermaine Johnson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billo83 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Can't they extend him with contract language requiring him to attend regular workouts during the offseason and not exceed his playing weight? That way he can't balloon up to 400 and crash diet right before training camp? That way he stays in shape all year and not right before he has to start playing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to prove he can stay healthy and upright for 2 straight seasons. That said, Becton was right. He is an LT. Duane Brown looked like absolute sh*t and Becton took his job back. I get the frustration that fans have with him but some of the criticism is unfair. He is far and away the Jets' best lineman in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronx Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 2 hours ago, Matt39 said: Fat The privileged: Fat men's club From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fat men's clubs were a type of social club that peaked in popularity from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, primarily in the United States. Membership was typically limited to men weighing over 200 lb (91 kg), and members were generally quite wealthy as well. Fat men's clubs declined in the 20th century as male obesity transitioned to being perceived as a primarily negative trait. Description[edit] Fat men's clubs typically required prospective members to weigh in at over 200 pounds in addition to demanding a small membership fee. Club members were typically wealthy, and the clubs often arranged busy social calendars for their membership that included balls, sports events and banquets, which often doubled as networking events.[1] Fat men's club events often opened with a public weigh-in of the membership, with prizes for the heaviest men. Competition at these public weigh-ins was heated enough to inspire widespread cheating, with participants loading down their pockets with weights in order to appear heavier.[2] Many clubs ran eating contests before the official weighing.[3] Engraving from an August 1884 issue of Frank Leslie Illustrated Newspaper showing a meeting of the Fat Men's Association in Connecticut. History[edit] Fat men's clubs were most prominent during a time when societal attitudes towards male obesity were largely positive: being overweight was seen as a sign of economic success, and was also thought to correspond with kindness and good humor.[2] The first fat men's club was founded in New York City in 1869.[4] Some fat women's clubs existed as well, but these were much less common, as fat was seen as less desirable in women. Fat women's clubs in the style of fat men's clubs were outnumbered by women's weight loss clubs even at the fad's height.[2] Fat men's clubs were popular throughout the United States, and were particularly common in the state of Texas.[2] Fat men's clubs were started in France, Serbia, and the UK as well.[1] In the early 20th century, the popularity of fat men's clubs waned as obesity became increasingly associated with bad health. The New England Fat Men's Club, which at one point had 10,000 members, disbanded in 1924 with only 38 members, none of whom actually met the 200 lb. standard prerequisite for membership.[2] The advent of the bathroom scale also contributed to the decline of fat men's clubs, as weight measurement transitioned from being a public spectacle to an exercise that was carried out in the privacy of one's home.[2] References[edit] ^ Jump up to:a b Basu, Tanya (10 March 2016).

Might want to think about first round QB depending how Zach and the season play out. Is the front office preparing an in season offer for Huff? There's no way the Jets should be thinking about taking a QB in the 1st round. To begin with, they'll likely be drafting in the bottom half if not bottom third of the round if they keep improving. Second, that would be akin to the Packers drafting Love when Rodgers was still there rather than drafting a player that could help them win. Third, and most importantly, the OL isn't anywhere near fixed. AVT needs to stay at RG, and hopefully, he can stay healthy there. Mitchell is still a big question mark as is Carter Warren and Becton could opt to sign with another team or want crazy money. He could also get injured again. The pick in the 1st round has to be either an OT, a WR, a DT, or if there's a stud S available. There should be no thoughts of taking a QB. Rodgers will be the starter next season and if Zach doesn't continue to improve, they can bring in a quality backup for Rodgers, and then draft a developmental QB in a lower round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely correct. They should not draft another QB until they have a better OL, and the plan has to be that Rodgers is playing in 2024 and will need blockers and catchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The practical reality is that when Rodgers hangs up his cleats, likely after 2024, the Jets get hit with a giant cap hit and will not have a QB on the roster unless its Zach Wilson on the 5th year option. The Jets will need Becton to block for AR8/ZW next year. After that the roster is a mess, and Becton is not going to last long in the NFL. It makes the most sense to tag in some way Becton next year. There is now way the Jets can give Becton a long, guaranteed contract. I would consider guaranteeing 1.5x the Transition Tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers will be the starter next season and if Zach doesn't continue to improve, they can bring in a quality backup for Rodgers, and then draft a developmental QB in a lower round. If Zach falls flat or doesn't improve enough, then you have an option taking a QB round 1 and sitting him for a year or 2 behind Rodgers. Cannot assume a first rounder will be ready to start season 1. In the meantime, you re-sign or franchise Becton depending on his progress and team him up with Tippmann and AVT moving forward. Hopefully, there are quality Right Tackles and either a Center or Guard in free agency. Depth will remain critical given AVT and Becton's injury histories so agree we need to continue fixing the line. I personally believe all options should be on the table. While I was a supporter of trading for Rodgers, I have not been happy about the players he brought with him. At the end of the day, the Jets need to do what is best for 2024 and moving forward. Has to be the message to Rodgers after this year and a retrospective look at the suspect 'Rodgers' signings such as Cook, Cobb, and others. I don't like to say never. QB should always be on the table until we get it right. I wanted a capable back-up this year (jury is still out on Zach) and for them to draft a mid rounder. They chose not to go that route and we'll see what happens next. But if Zach proves not to be the guy, then we need to continue that search for a franchise QB ... and in doing so, nothing should be off the table.
