Oh man, that a great moment. I was SHOCKED that Star was falling to us. When we turned in that pick that quickly, I just knew it had to have been Star. Great.. friggin.. night.. I was just glad that Richardson was off the board to ensure we didn't get him, lol. I didn't think he would have been a good fit for us

 

My sixth sense tells me that our pick wouldn't have been Richardson regardless. I feel we would have picked DeAndre Hopkins had Star been off the board.  We would have still picked Short in the second.

Our pick was Eifert if Star wasn't there.

I am not going to wish that the Richardson pick turns out to be a blunder because that would be wishing bad luck for him. From everything that I was reading at the time, Richardson was a great fit for the Jets, and Star not as much. I didn't expect them to pick Lotulelei.  I was more surprised that they picked Richardson over Floyd.  No one expected Floyd to fall out of the top 10, but several people had Star falling to us. Now, yes, I think Lotulelei is a better fit for us than Richardson may be for the Jets from what I was reading, but Richardson has the capacity to develop into a fine player for the Jets,

The memory of hearing the words "With the 13th pick, the New York Jets select...Sheldon Richardson" :blink: :lol:

No lie. I really did 'laugh out loud', and I'm still laughing.

If ESPN ever does another video of Jets draft blunders, I hope that clip deserves to be on it.

 

we would have liked to see you in the chat room, Scotty. Us barbarians we're having a good ol time that day. It was memorable for me, hope you join in next year.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
