There were much better options. Brissett was never going to sign here with an excellent chance to start with NE. Same goes for Minshew with LV. So who were the better options? Tannehill? Wentz? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83Kelly2Allen18 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 9 hours ago, PS17 said: Tyrod is made of glass and underwhelming even as a backup. But he’s an upgrade over Zach and Boyle, so I’ll take it I guess. Unless you're the 89 49ers, everyone's season is basically toast if the starter goes down.

Bobby816 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 2 hours ago, JustInFudge said: Uneducated, hmph? I'm sorry, maybe you didnt know he's finished back to back seasons injured. Maybe you dont remember him blaming his sh*tty season in GB on his thumb? Maybe you dont remember him hobbling around camp because of his calf or maybe you dont remember him falling to the ground 4 plays into the season? Then there is also this thing called age. You're not the same at 41 as you were at 28, you're more....fragile. As I said he has only missed significant time one time in his whole career previous to being a Jet. That’s hardly fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 A functional, but fragile, backup QB. A net positive overall, given how horribly sub-par Wilson/Semien/Etc. were. Of course, as other have said, now the PS/#3 QB might actually matter, given the age, and fragility, of our #1 and #2 QB's respectively. Still hoping we pick a late-round prospect in the draft this year. But I doubt it, Rodgers/Taylor is probably it for QB in 2024, with one of JD's nobodies on the PS, probably Rypien. A career 61% guy. Career 2+ to 1 TD/INT guy. Career 88 QB Rating. A .500 winning percentage in games he started. A definite upgrade and guy you can hope will win half his games if needed, that we all hope we never see take the field, lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At age 34 he also has zero upside. Other than that, he’s great. cool, but those guys signed where they have a chance to start. so short of some jedi mind-meld, how exactly are you getting them to sign with the jets when aaron rodgers is here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you certainly seem to truly believe that. I'd love to see a Venn diagram of folks who post this particular sentiment and the folks who think every move the team makes is awesome and that always predict we're definitely going to the Playoffs/Super Bowl every year. Seems for some folks it's easier/more comforting to aim their disappointment with literally always being wrong at their fellow fans, rather than the team. Or at themselves and their misguided optimism/evaluations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t dislike him but had to be better options out there. This is a JD pump your chest move. who would have been better ???? Gardner M. wanted too much money. And, he is not clutch by any means. He misfires a lot. You don't pay $13mm for a journeyman back-up no matter how cool his grooming habits are. As far as Jacoby B. . Also too much money and he wants to start. He probably will start for a while in NE. Tyrod was a good signing. Just what you need in a Rodgers back-up. Experienced, capable and coming in at a fair price to fill a decided back-up role. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds expensive for Taylor but worth it just to get Zach Wilson off the roster I seen it reported as up to $18M. So not sure how much in incentive for him to reach that 18 figure. Jets to sign Tyrod Taylor New York expected to sign Taylor to back up Aaron Rodgers. The Jets deal with with the former Giants backup, Taylor, is reportedly for two years and up to $18 million.

Dcat Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 10 hours ago, JoeNamathsFurCoat said: You’re wrong. It’s a bad move. Nothing to do with any bias or “schtick”. He’s better than Zach Wilson, but ZW is Cal Ripken compared to Taylor in terms of durability Nothing I stated was factually incorrect. I had a hunch your post would get hammered. @Beerfish laid it out perfectly: Quote Good news and bad news for me. The good news is that he is actually a decent quality backup QB. The bad news is that he almost always gets hurt immediately after taking over the reigns for a team. We need to have a guy as #3 with at least a pulse.

At age 34 he also has zero upside. Other than that, he’s great. Both of those will look for a place with starting potential. NY does not have that, outside of a hypothetical re-injury to a HOF QB. You're looking at it from green-colored spectacles on how valuable potential starting QBs view us as a destination. The only alternative is to massively overpay to get a potential starter to actively take a backup role, which I'm sure you'd be happy with? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s hardly fragile I think the issue here is and what you're failing to realize is or at least how we see it differently is that recent history, which is more relevant to this particular conversation, disagrees w/ you. What Rodgers did 12 years ago, means nothing about who Rodgers is today and unfortunately, he's quite often injured finishing his career in GB, injured and then starting his career w/ the Jets injured. As we are having this conversation, he's rehabbing from a very serious injury which you have to treat very delicately especially at his age, because he's fragile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsplayer21 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, Darnold Schwarzenegger said: 2 years for 18 mill. Sounds expensive for Taylor but worth it just to get Zach Wilson off the roster Little more than what he was making with giants. Cap is rising, so will salaries. Backup qbs have been appreciated more around NFL within past few years. I think it would be very unlikely jets miss the playoffs last yr had they had Taylor instead of Zach. Even factoring few games Taylor missed. He was easily giants best qb last yr. Sure he is more of an injury risk, because the guy actually is a competitor ( unlike Zach ). Poised under pressure. Big games and D rush pressure. Can count on him not to sack himself and curl into a ball on 3rd down when a D lineman yells boo 👻.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
