The first trade down we made in the draft allowed the Bears to grab OT Teven Jenkins. He has yet to practice for them.

The rookie tackle hasn’t practiced all training camp. Concern is warranted. It’s high time someone with authority speaks up.  https://www.windycitygridiron.com/2021/8/10/22618709/chicago-bears-training-camp-teven-jenkins-back-injury-justin-fields-ryan-pace-clarity-nfl-2021

Agree on the Jets, and us, to a certain extent.

I think PJ and Grier are "hungry" players, which Rhule seems to love, but I agree, would love to see an "Alex Smith" type in there or similar, although I think that Sam probably knows how to "be a pro" he just hasn't learned the finer points of being a Quarterback.

 

I would like to say that it's Training Camp. The Jets can't hide Wilson, there's nowhere he can hide. Unless they want to do private practices, folks are going to see him play.

I may suck for the kid, but he still has to ride it out. Sam rode that ride, and came out the other side just fine.

 

As to that bolded part? I was just thinking about that. How much help would a Vet QB actually make? A few suggestions here and there? This is Sam's 4th year. He IS the Vet QB.

Yeah he was fine in rookie camp but is battling back issues. Apparently he had bouts like this in college as well.

I’m really starting to feel sorry for Wilson, he really needed to go to a different team

I think he was a bad SUPER BAD fit form NY environment. Jets should have taken the SF loot gave for moving to 3rd. 

If NYC was smart, they hired a personal 24/7 assistant for Wilson. Give him a better chance, other than nothing. 

feels like Brent farve all over again....wilson needs a GB...

I think we’d be saying this for any QB who wound up there. 

It may be the premier NFL QB graveyard right now.  The kind of place that could have ended the careers of Montana, Elway, Marino, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, or Mahomes in three years or less.  It takes effort to be that dysfunctional.

Wilson may have made a better career move approaching the church about a mission, once the Jets drafted him.  Spend a year in exile, let his draft rights with the Jets expire, and try again next year.

could be why we didn’t take him. right now, it looks like a smart move. in a position like his, having back issues before you even join the league does not bode well for a long, prosperous career.

I think people were projecting when they scouted Wilson.

They wanted to see Mahomes because he freelanced, but he doesn't have the arm, instincts or football knowledge of Mahomes. That guy is a once-in-a-lifetime talent and looked it in College. 

I think Wilson has the physical tools to be a success in the NFL, but they need to shackle him with a simple system until he finds his feet - if he ever does.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
