actually per this chart the jets don't know anything about the players they draft, or how good they'll be

 

If that's what you're going to pin your hopes on then hey you gotta have something. You probably liked the Teddy move as well.

I’m cool with it. It’s a reclamation project. You’re hoping that Sam was bad because of his situation. He certainly has the tools. I am excited to see what Brady and co can get out of him, even if I would have rather preferred Fields or Lance. Now at 8 we can go OL, WR, or TE.

Again maybe you just are not understanding that our staff probably doesnt see a franchise qb in Lance.  I say lance because he is the most likely to be there at 8.  They would rather look at SD career tape and work with that rather than Lance.  Like I said, I like Lance, love his size and arm but you have to admit just reps wise he is years away and even then there is nothing to guarantee he can be an above average starter.  Too much risk for a pick at 8.

 

If Fields is there then I think its telling about him as well and we can still trade out

I still think Fields goes to San Fran and the Mac Jones at 3 stuff is a smokescreen

Darnold was my favorite QB in 2018, since then hes put out nothing but bad tape. 3 years using many different QB ranking system/metrics - SAM Darnold was the worst QB.  Much like I was fan of Cam Erving in his draft, hes also graded one as one of the worst. Only one with lesser grade was the newest panther Pat elflein. Plently of excuses for each- Sam needs more weapons and better OL etc. Fact is for 3 years hes played very poorly. I dont judge rookie year, still 2 years of play and nearly all metrics/ranking have Darnold as the worst QB (with minimum starts.)  

Good thing hes young and can improve, hes a panther now and hope he leads them to superbowls. I echo much of the 2nd round price dislike. Seems panthers didnt want to trade a 3rd and 5th this year, so the jets came back with 2022 2nd and 4th. Sewell, Chase, and Pitts....one please be there at 8!!!

I got what you are saying, so you don't have to keep reiterating it.  I don't think you are are looking at the other side of the coin about hedging their bets. 

Do you KNOW they don't like Fields/Lance?  Could it be they like them and a) didn't think they would be there or b) like them but didn't want to throw them to the wolves or c) both scenarios.

You could be right, maybe they didn't like either of them, but at least consider the discussion could be a little bit more complex than that.

We are now officially 0 for 1 on replacing the former franchise quarterback. The 100 million dollar coach and the owner who hired him are now officially on the clock. They can no longer use the boogeyman Hurney as a shield for their decisions and fans should do the same.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
