That seems odd all the way around

I haven't seen anything of Philly but I'm guessing they either don't like their backups or Hurt hasn't nailed down the starting job.

I suspect Urban doesn't want legit competition for Lawrence.

It's a very, very cheap deal though.

Easily. fug, even if you don't think he can beat out Darnold he is DEFINITELY better than PJ or Will. 

Goddamn. Get in on that deal, Fit. 

Exactly,  I understand the worry about the idea of a qb controversy but Rhule could have stomped that out pretty quick by firmly stating that Darnold is the qb.  Minshew would have been a much better option over PJ or Grier.

We should have offered the same. Has Jacksonville been a better team the last two years than the Jets? Minshew is basically at 63% completions, 38 touchdowns to 11 interceptions with a team actively trying to suck around him. 

If Jacksonville would have moved him during the draft I am sure they could have pulled a third or fourth for him. Instead he got to eat some of Lawrences reps with the 1s and the trade him away anyway to avoid conflict in the locker room.

I'm fine with a QB controversy. That doesn't phase me. I just want to be better as a team. I am not seeing how jettisoning a 5th or 6th round conditional pick is not great value for a top flight backup QB.

How do you know Fitt wasn't in on it?  Just because we didn't land him doesn't mean we didn't at least inquire.  That's being in on every deal.

Most likely they would have put a waiver claim on him at least if he'd been cut and cut PJ.  Meaning He and Will would battle for #2 for now.

If so, how do you manage to bid lower than a fuging conditional 6th????

Doesn’t mean Rhule isn’t going to be asked about it weekly.  See it in the papers.  Hear about it.  He doesn’t want that.  

and to date, Menshew has been the more impressive QB.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
