Jets Cuts To 53 (official thread )


Recommended Posts

Will be interesting to see if Codrington makes it (I don't think he will).

Connor McGregor certainly made his case but I don't think he's going to make it either .

Lawrence Taylor the third had better make it.

I think it will be somewhat interesting if they add any qbs.  Travis Jordan is probably never suiting up for the jets, but maybe they find someone better than Martinez 

Zach Wilson available ? Nope.

When Rodgers retires after next year, he will get his chance to be QB2. That my opinion. 

I agree and that’s a best case scenario for him.  He’s a smallish qb with an average arm whose best attribute was a dual threat qb but now he has a shattered leg and it’s unclear when he can even practice.  I agree he’s competing for qb 2 and that’s even unclear if they draft a qb.

Fair enough. I just think he will get an opportunity. He's a gamer.

Important note as teams construct their initial 53-man rosters:

NFL teams were informed that the NFLPA vetoed the revised Emergency 3rd Quarterback rule that would have allowed teams to elevate a bona fide QB from the practice squad an unlimited number of times.

So, the rule reverted to the 2023 version, which says the emergency third QB must be on the 53-man roster, not an elevation.

Wow. I thought the proposed change was a good move.

What does the NFLPA gain from this? Why do they want 3rd QBs to be on the 53, rather than the PS? That will potentially rob a deserving player at another position of a roster spot, just so teams can carry a 3rd QB who is unlikely to ever play.

Pretty damn stupid in my opinion.  I don't personally see a downside.

That is not best case for him.  Nobody knows how he is going to play once he is fully healed.

How about we wait and see what he looks like next year before we make claims like hes "never" suiting up for the Jets.

This is my prediction and that’s what we do here.  They drafted a guy whose measurables are meh and nearly a year later still has no timetable for a leg injury.  Each draft there’s enough qbs entering the league where it’s easy to get jumped in the pecking order.  And there’s a decent chance the jets go qb early next year.

NFLPA is helping to some degree the QBs there. If they are the third string on the 53 man roster it is a lot more money than bouncing between the 53 man and practice squads.

Did you ever see him play in college? Just curious.

Why?  Because the NFLPA is a shell of union that gets its instructions from the league owners.

Yes, a dynamic college qb.  But that was in college.  Definitely the type of qb you root for.  But the nfl is different, and he’s a bit small, his arm is average at best, and now it’s a ? How his leg heals.  So while I’m rooting for the kid and I believe he’s a great locker room presence, I’m not sure his game will go over well in the nfl and that’s assuming he heals 100%.

Yeah, but why help 3rd QBs at the expense of other positions? That's what I don't understand. The NFLPA represents all players, not just QBs, and this will mean teams carrying a 3rd QB on the 53 when another player at another position might be more deserving - and more likely to contribute, and earn incentives etc.
