I mean, when you have a 43 year old QB you probably should be all in. Two late round picks to fill a gap wouldn't be a steep price to pay.

Actually they're sending their 2022 6th for McLendon + the Jets' 2023 7th lol, weird trade...but I guess making these future draft picks helps to offset the drastic difference in draft positions between these two teams.  Otherwise if it was next year's picks, then the Bucs' 6th and the Jets' 7th would be very similar in value.

Either way, can't imagine this guy is any good for that underwhelming of a haul...seems like more of a depth move.

With the Jets... Well, is anybody good with the Jets?

The Jets might have quite the surprise coming when they come into their predraft Trevor Lawrence interview prepared to put him through the ringer and they have to shift on the fly once the figure out that they desperately need to try to convince him not to pull an Eli on them.

Even if they dump Gase?

Honestly, I think the top prospects have it all wrong. They're going very high no matter what. I'd be trying to wiggle my way into the situation I thought was the best fit for me among the top teams in the draft. They should probably be interviewing those teams every bit as much as those teams are interviewing them. That's how free agency works. The draft really shouldn't be any different.

It's a 2020 6th round pick from the Bucs for McLendon and a 2023 7th round pick from the Jets.  By that time the Jets might actually be ok and it won't be the first pick in the 7th round.  I doubt it but maybe.

Valid, but that's not an easy thing to do even for stars. Only Eli and Elway have gotten away with it that I can recall.

Maybe it only works if one of your names starts with E :thinking:

Maybe other guys didn't have the guts to do it or maybe others tried and failed? I don't know. There have definitely been instances when guys were drafted by teams and didn't exactly look thrilled about it.

      Please DM, do not see Dalton failing as BY doing well enough for a big contract

      By Peon Awesome · Posted

      Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.

      It's really not a surprise is it?

      100% correct.    we also have a team that is completely incapable of responding to adversity. The first sign of trouble and the team just unravels. I think that says a lot about coaching more than anything. It can also be explained with the amount of youth we have playing key roles on offense and defense.

      Damning indictment of Bryce Young

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      He's not elevating anyone around him and will never be that kind of qb. He is what he is. He will always need a good team around him to play his best. His best is not a game changer but game manager. If you accept that then you will understand what the outlook is going forward.
