Lawrence and the Jets...

[Mr. Scot]

While out grabbing a snack, I heard Kyle Bailey say that some people were starting to take the idea of Trevor Lawrence "shunning" the Jets seriously.

Took a look around the web to see what I could see, and it seems that the New York media at least sees it as a real possibility following some recent comments from Lawrence that he's open to the possibility of staying in school for another year.

Of course, people also speculate about him coming out but simply refusing to play for the Jets. I'll grant that's possible, but it seems less likely (at least at the moment).

Either way though, Lawrence making a move to avoid the Jets would have near seismic level implications for this year's draft. And there's plenty to speculate on about how it might affect us.

I don't like the move, but can't say that I blame him.

[LinvilleGorge]

I wouldn't blame him and he's started making some statements backpedaling on his previous statement of this definitely being his last I'm college. Now, I absolutely think that it is, but that could be the first shot across the Jets' bow. Their meeting with him isn't going to be the typical grilling of a prospect to see if you want him. It's going to be a recruiting pitch to sell him on the future of that organization.

I was a big Baltimore Colt fan back when Elway did it to the colts.   I have hated him every since. 

If you are a No. 1 pick you are going to a terrible team.

You are likely going to a bad team, but maybe not a bad organization.

The Jets are a bad organization, somehow more dysfunctional than the Chargers, Raiders, and The WFT.

If they keep Gase there then I can see Lawrence pulling an Eli.

 

 

[Mr. Scot]

Is the Jets organization that bad, or is it primarily Adam Gase?

Their GM is only in his second year.

[Waldo]

I wouldn't blame him for a shunning. It's business and if you run one like the Jets do i really don't see why you would be surprised by this move. Same was true with SD with Manning.

By my count they have ruined the past 3 quarterbacks they have drafted in damn near record time

I think it's the ownership group.

I still don't know how they had some success with Rex Ryan and Butt Fumble, but outside of those years, that team has been BAD for a long time.

It’s a bad owner. That owner repels good coaches and bad coaching, of course, destroys young QBs.

He needs to shun them. He has no chance of ever getting a good cast around him.

Remember Rhule was almost hired by them but they wouldnt let him pick his coaches lololololololol  Yeah the ownership is a bit slow

[SizzleBuzz]

Definitely within the set of possible outcomes -- and this isn't new news.

His teammate did it last year (not necessarily to avoid a specific team, just wanted another year of college).

If they screw Trevor out of the Heisman the chances only increase.

The Jets are a dumpster fire on equal standing with the Bobcats and that's saying something!
