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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

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

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
