I agree with you in principle. The only caveat I can add putting on my homer hat is that there is typically much more variance in defensive performance than offensive performance in consecutive years.

Meaning we stand a better chance of the defense rebounding to at least average next season based on history.

And our offense was playing for the most part at an average to above average level for most of the 2nd half of the season.

It's hard to believe a unit that finished this season as one of the very worst in NFL history being elite next year, but history says there is a high probability they will not be nearly this bad.

We can certainly hope, but to your original point, I think getting to .500 should be the goal for next year and at least being in the mix for the whole season.

Winning the division or anything beyond would be a nice surprise 

The law of averages says they will improve the defense to a level above what it is now, couldn't possibly be worse. Getting enough depth to survive more than a couple of injuries is going to be challenging. 

As crazy as it sounds Canales not only has the challenge of improving the offensive output and increasing his win total, now there's a full season of tape on it and Young. So in theory the offense could be worse. Yay.

Yes not enough, what do you think it will take?

It would take pick 8

And given I want Luther Burden at 8 I’d be willing to send it for a legit WR1 in Wilson

Young and Wilson could play together for the next 10 years

What does "He is" even mean and how is it related to the Panthers? Is he replying to something and I can't see it cause I'm not logged into X?

He’s replying to something. Someone posted something along the lines of “He might be better than we thought he was” pertaining to Bryce

 

”He is” was Garrett’s reply.

Would love the player, but there's two big problems with it.

The first is that the Jets aren't trading a 24 year old #1 WR for anything less than a 1st rounder (and might need more than just a single 1st anyways), and under no circumstances should we be trading our 1st round picks in any year right now.

The second is that when the Jets inevitably move on from Rodgers (and then Adams) this offseason, Wilson isn't going to want out anymore as his problem is with those two more than the organization.

I'm vehemently against Burden at 8, it's way too high for him.

But I'd rather take him at 8 than trade for Wilson, 100 times out of 100.

It's not that I think Burden is going to be the better player, I actually don't think he'll ever be as good as Wilson is/will be.  But if you make that trade you then have to give Wilson a new contract instead of having that position on a rookie deal.  

Using the pick on Burden and then the extra cap space on a defensive player would be a million times smarter than trading for Wilson and giving him a big deal.

It's basically would you rather have Wilson or Burden and a legit pass rusher, seems like an easy decision to me.

Oh, and this isn’t the first time that Wilson has openly endorsed Young . . .

Remember talking to Garrett about Young back in Jets locker room back October. He was adamant he was a player. Said everyone was gonna see.

I may, or may not, have rolled my eyes.

GW was spot on. https://t.co/co7etqLOAG

You have to spend your cap at some point and Wilson is a #1 and 24.  We would be very lucky to get him.  If we give 8 I want something additional back

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
