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.

      Ehhhh except a lot of it was his refusal in college not to play hero ball.....  The two things he greatly improved at the NFL level were his accuracy on the run and learning he didn't have to take the deep shot every play.   That said when taking a massive boom or bust athlete at QB the most important thing is their work ethic/coachability/desire to improve

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required
