Does a game like tonight's change your opinion on trading up for Lawrence

Yes, it's ridiculously unlikely that Jets would even consider it as I doubt Lawrence snubs them like Eli did San Diego. But let's say that did happen and we'd have an opportunity to get Lawrence for a fair amount of draft capital. I would not have realistically considered it before tonight, but seeing the D start to come together and the O being wasted pretty much only because of Teddy, my mind has changed a bit. Place Lawrence on this team right now and we're a playoff team year in and year out. Wouldn't be easy to give up other draft capital that could still help to improve our D, OL, etc. but I think it's clear that QB is by far the most pressing need and it could be worth it if we had the opportunity to get a guy like Lawrence. Just pondering here...

That'd take everything short of Matt Rhule's firstborn.

Why? If Lawrence snubbed the Jets they would have no choice at all. If we get to pick 4 (very possible), that's not that far of a drop for them and they would be sending him to the NFC instead of AFC. It would take a fair amount (something like 1st and 2nd this year, 1st next year), but not something crazy that would cripple us in the future...

The trade they would ask for would probably make the Herschel Walker trade look like a good deal.

That, plus we're not guaranteed the #4 pick just yet.

I think the asking price will be 3 1sts and 2 2nds. Any thought about 2 1sts and a 2nd is laughable. Maybe that might fly in a year where there isn't a bona fide star qb expected to go #1. But not this year. So you ask yourself, would you rather have Lance/Wilson/Fields (whoever we take at our current spot) plus 2 firsts and 2 2nds, or Lawrence?

But he's not going to snub the Jets. They are going to have a fresh new coaching staff and have a poo ton of picks to work with from the Adams trade as well. They also have a staple OT in Becton and a promising young WR in Mims. We have this debate every single year. "WILL THE TOP PROSPECT SNUB THE WORST TEAM?"... No... no, he will not. It simply doesn't happen. 

You could actually argue the Jets are a better situation than us. Our brain dead GM did nothing about two promising young players last year in Samuel and Moton. So instead of signing them to reasonable extensions or moving them for future assets, we'll lose both for nothing it's looking like. Jets all of a sudden aren't sounding so bad.

This is a bad take.  Departure of their awful coaching staff aside, the Jets are still a dumpster fire.  Our roster is much more promising than there's by far.

EDIT: Which is not to say I advocate trading away a king's ransom to move up for Lawrence.  I say stay put and if there's a QB available that you think will blossom into a franchise QB, you take him.  If there isn't, you choose someone else.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
