I imagine backing up Lawrence would be an easy job.

Not as easy as backing up Tom Brady.  But point taken. 

Lawrence has a difficult road ahead of him in his career.  He's going to have to hang on until Jacksonville figures out how to build a team around him and stay injury free in the process.  I'm not liking his odds as it stands right now.

If it's CJ that will suck because it's another 3rd round pick into the Darnold fire and I'm not really sure the cap space is that beneficial. Also I'm still high on him. 

But I also appreciate them being able to call a spade a spade and just get rid of dead weight. 

Would mean we likely have one more FA signing.

CJ isn’t exactly dead weight. He played very well in spurts last year and he’s got incredible physical tools. Too early to give up on him especially if his head is right. And we’re gonna be thin and very young in the secondary without Gilly or Bouye.

they're clearing the deck for salary because the draft interest in a QB is smoke and with a LT that can play at 6, our team looks competitive on paper minus a QB that we trade to get. We want someone to leapfrog us for Willis so we can get our pick of tackles at 6. Mayfield?

I wish Tepper would call a spade a spade and dump Rhule. When we do get a new QB someone in the media needs to put him on blast for such a dumb trade and 5th year option pickup. Needs to admit the mistake in a press conference, not just pretend like this mess never existed

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
