Sounds like Jets' 2nd pick is open for business...?

Baker sweat preseason awards then looked worse the year after that then rebounded after a shaky start earlier this year to look good again and like a good fit for Stefanskis system. I remember that much fine, and seems like Wilson is similarly talented. I also remember Josh Allen being wildly talented but risky due to inaccuracy coming into the league and Fields is already more accurate and a great athlete himself. There's reason for optimism and these comparisons, while obviously great case outcomes and scenarios, are fair.

No, that's just being optimistic and seeing talent. Yall think believing a player is gonna be good is some sort of message board no no and that's boring as hell. No one is winning awards for being low expectations sports fans, it's literally a fun time activity

You can think a guy is going to be good without making the absurd claim that his floor is great.

Forget Allen, if we thought their floor was Baker, I don't think we would've been (and hell, maybe still are) hell-bent on trading for Watson. We would've been hell-bent on trading up in the draft from the get go.

Oh man, take it easy, message board guy

Also the bolded part might be you overrating Baker Mayfield, jury is still out on that guy and Watson is better than both so it makes sense a team looking for a qb keeps its options open. You just are reticent to call college players good bc it might not come true

Interesting comment from Brandon Tierney supported by former Saints GM Randy Mueller...

 

Darnold has moments of brilliance and moments of "wtf is he thinking" pretty much every single game. Darnold has talent but if I am being honest here I am not sure why he is getting this many chances. Gase sucks at developing talent for sure, but Darnold should be picking up things on his own. I had him as my QB1 that draft, so I still have faith, but good lord he needs to get better and fast.

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
