Teddy is not going to be on this team. I would be very surprised in any situation that he is.

Unless we were to whiff in the draft, whiff on Darnold, and whiff on any other QB that becomes available. In which you would literally not have another option.

I still remember how solid he looked during his rookie seasons and though the Jets found their franchise QB. 
All downhill from there and the Jets FO are definitely to blame. 
Personally I think he is damaged goods and will struggle on any team just because of how much punishment he has taken. 
Hard for a QB to change his stripes once he is used to them. Just look at Teddy.

sub 60% quarterbacks create more problems than they solve. if we make this trade, we're basically committing to losing enough to draft our actual QB of the future in '22. go look up what NFL executives have to say about his throwing mechanics and how fixable they are. it's not pretty. even in his pre-draft workups almost every scout prefaced their opinion by mentioning how slow the ball is out of his hands and how early he tips his throws. he has a strong arm and can still make some "wow" throws, but he can go from hero to zero in the middle of games. the people here that got frustrated with Cam's inconsistency with his good throw to bad throw ratio would be driven to drink by Darnold.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
