Guys this is about getting rid of Teddy, not necessarily taking us out of the QB market in the draft.  The worst thing that could have happened was the 'big 4' were already gone and another team had already traded for Darnold prior to the draft.  The front office couldn't risk that and be saddled with Teddy for another year.

I don't think you give up 3 picks for a QB just to turn around and take another QB in the first round.

The Jets were arguably the worst offensive roster in the entire league. If Fitterer can protect him (cough) Sewell (cough)....he’s going to be a very good QB for us.

I wouldn't be mad at Sewell...  it would shore up a position we have struggled with for almost a decade now.  But, man...  Pitts or Chase?  I'm salivating.

It called hedging your bet.  The front office could NOT RISK a run on QBs and be stuck with no options outside of starting Teddy again.  Daronld was being shopped and Watson is radioactive right now.  Things could have gone really bad on draft night if they didn't pull the trigger on this trade.

Adam Gase was the QB coach for the Jets the past two years. I trust our coaching staff we got the most out of Teddy B.

Worst case we lost a 2nd round pick for him. We gave up that much for Armanti Edwards. Somehow I don't think this will be the move to damn us to help like many doomposters here seem to think.

That's a hefty price to pay for Teddy's replacement man. I mean Imagine having a MVP QB play out his contract instead of signing a back up QB and then Trading for QB that isn't that much better? Feels like they are shooting themselves in the foot trying to be cute and smart. I commend them for trying to right the wrongs but at some point they will have to become a little wiser on the whole QB thing.

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
