Weren't the Jets among the teams bidding for Stafford?  Looks like they are not sticking with Darnold.

Maybe but that doesn't mean they'd necessarily want a rookie QB. Maybe they see Darnold and these rookies in a similar light -- young guys who have potential but are still big question marks. Stafford is a legit proven upper echelon franchise QB. Just because they were in on Stafford doesn't mean they're all in on trying to find a new QB. My guess is they'll take Fields and trade Darnold but nobody really has any clue. I think there's definitely a possibility they don't go QB in this draft.

Tua and Darnold are both worth replacing so I assume they will pick QBs until they prove otherwise. Who knows, bad teams make bad decisions. I sure hope we luck into a drafted QB this year. Thr other options are bleak as hell. I don't even think Goff is safe, it looked like a contract dump to me over a talent acquisition.

Both teams have indicated that they like their current QB position.   I could see where you think Darnold is replaceable but I don't get the Tua comment.  He was a rookie and made a lot of rookie mistakes.  Because he didn't light it up like Hebert did doesn't mean he's done growing.

I'd take Tua off their hands.  I think he would be nice in our offense but I think they stick with him and are using the "we're going to draft a QB" as a way to get a team to trade up with them and get more picks.

People fell in love with Tua in college. He has looked bad, not just rookie bad. I get it, people want him to do well. Maybe he can turn it around but I have seen what I expect to see out of him at the NFL level. So far, Miami made a mistake on a guy who peeked in college. I didn't want Tua last year and I want him less this year.

They both have said that about their current QBs but until they don't, both can upgrade over what they have, at least on paper.

After Lawrence any of these QBs could be better than or worse than Tua and Darnold.   Both are on rookie contracts so moving them would be pretty easy.  

I know Tua looked bad but he also has some pretty decent games.   I think he should have spent the season behind Fitzpatrick.

The thing about rookies that haven't played yet is we don't know they are not it. There are no locks but I will take not knowing yet over we should have known better.

I really have noting to say positive about Tua, he looks ruined. It sucks but it was a valid concern and the fact he did play last year and couldn't get in front of Fitz is also a huge let down. Hard to sit a player when you are taking them top 5 but Miami took a chance and so far it looks to not be working out.

I could see the OP scenario playing out, as almost one extreme.  The major assumption is not that the Jets and Dolphins do not pick QBs, it is that there will be no movement in the top 7 picks. 

The opposite extreme is the belief that 10 QBs will be taken in the first 7 picks.

But, I have to think that the teams with the top 7 picks will not be the teams making the top 7 picks.  Somebody is going to put a full blitz on moving up, maybe more than one somebody.  Particularly about the time the Dolphins pick is announced.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
