I will say this, as fans we need to get past the overreacting about reported interest in X player. 

The deal we offered for Stafford was actually a very, very good deal. We jettisoned Teddy's salary and gave up a 1st and 5th. That was an extremely reasonable trade.

Let's not assume that we are out there making Rams type offers for every player. Battered Fan Syndrome is really gonna be tough to get rid of after Hurney.

For the right price, I’d take a shot on Darnold.

All the tools are there and he has some sneaky wheels on him. 

The Jets have been a complete mess since he has arrived. There are definitely some concerns with his game but he is only 23.

I definitely agree here. It's not like the kid doesnt have the tool set. Just needs a coaching staff to drive him. I'd take this risk all day. I'd offer two 3rds.

My biggest question: Would the Jets be willing to part with Darnold prior to the draft if they think there's a possibility the Texans might change their mind about trading Watson?

Them trading Darnold wouldn't be solely for Watson. They are stilll going to have the opp to draft a QB at #2

whether we're making bona fide offers is besides the point - fitts is testing the market and keeping his pulse on the going rate for qb starters and that's exactly what he should be doing.

marty is probably up in washington watching tape from butler county community college writing down the names of guards he can turn into safeties in the second round 

Nah, he’s kicking back relaxed...he signed the best backup QB in the league. Things are looking up for the WFT. Soon to be WTF.

No, but there's a reasonable expectation that the Texans could want an established quarterback as part of any trade package.

That's been the engine behind some of the speculation about the Texans and Carson Wentz.

    • Some QBs take several years to develop. Maybe he is on that level. He needs to find the right offense and coach to succeed. 
    • That is a good question. I quit following Cleveland back then after Ernest Byner’s fumble turned into ‘the Drive’ The average fan didn’t have near as much access to information as we do nowadays.  As far as Lance it isn’t much different from anyone. It is on him to perform. We need somebody badly and should take a look at all options.  The gatekeeping centers around physical attributes as being the first hurdle abs then you get into the cerebral and execution and whether or not there could be growth in a certain environment.  It is one option, in preliminary discussions.  I used to bet the horses. This one track, if they changed jockeys right before the race you bet that nag. And you won. Not sure how it applies but it was a cool story. 
    • I've said it before but he's smart in knowing anticipation within a play's design, but he can't see the live-field to properly layer a throw.  So many issues.. -Slow, shallow drops that restrict sight lines -Because of this, he can't see the field and gets swallowed up even when an OL holds up -So then he bails when he doesn't need to, and can't properly survey -And also can't put the touch on intermediates enough to produce YAC. Smitty would've gone ham on him if he was catching his balls.  Probably gotten a few black eyes in practice already.  McMillan was even looking visibly frustrated the past two games.  The kid doesn't have it. It's over.  It really is.  We've given him so much time for how bad he's been.  Far longer than Zach Wilson or Josh Rosen at this stage.
