New York Jets Thread

**** me that's woeful. I was going to watch it on gamepass after turkey but I'd rather not. Ho ho ho.

What's the alternative though? Chuck money at free agency? There's no one around and it's an expensive game, at best you get someone average and spend money that is desperately needed elsewhere... Or you go draft again, into a poor draft class and when we already basically have 2 rookies in the roster?

This team doesn't get turned around in one year, I hope we look long term for once.

We don't know about Hackenberg for certain, but I thought he was a terrible draft pick on the basis of his completion percentage at Penn and you'd think he would have gotten a start over the past few weeks if he was in any way, shape or form progressing:

Bottom line is that the team is obligated to put a decent QB out there. No QB, no team. Fitz had the best season of a Jets QB since Pennington last year and we spent the off season ****ing around with signing him back. Neither Petty nor Hackenberg seem anywhere near what is required. Geno and Fitz are done. For sure money needs to be spent in many places, but we also need to stop wasting picks and trying to be too smart for our own good.

The one positive of todays game....theres only one left

This is as bad an end to the season as I can remember. Bowles being ill and in hospital just makes it worse.

Complete ****show from beginning to end.

Worse losing to those and being surrounded by their fans in the woolshed!

The sniping in the dressingroom and Bowles' health can only point to his exit soon.

Brandon Marshall talking a lot of sense

Bowles retained.

Error after error after error after error.

Because Hackenberg clearly isn't ready, just as Petty isn't. The coaching staff know this. Just because you drafted someone high up, you don't need to force them onto the field. There is no magic either - if a guy is struggling day in and day out in practice he's not going to surprise you against an actual NFL defense - particularly one that's good against the pass.

Petty should never have been played, and I'm glad Hackenberg is being protected. Another offseason and preseason is the better opportunity to see if he can develop

Like you just need a cursory glance between the lines here: Hackenberg is obviously struggling majorly in practice. Smells like he's miles off where they'd hope he'd be. They must have felt Petty was a lot closer, but he's been atrocious on the field irrespective of the negative context.

twice stopped on 4&1 when FG was the better option. Bowels:mad:

unbeaten in 2017 and the holders of the number 6 draft pick I think.

New York Daily News reporting a Team source as saying 'Hackenberg can't throw into an ocean' and 'will never make it'.

We knew this like - as I said last week, it's obvious why he hasn't been considered for a start. Bust.

Hated the Hack pick at the time and as you say the signs for his future do not look good! But on the other hand I will never believe a single word that Metha writes or believe a word the comes from his un-named sources!

The Jets have a real problem with drafting QBs that "fit the build" or are "major projects", they need to give this up and start drafting QBs that can play football!

I'd rather a 5'11/6' QB who can throw a ball and read a defense as apposed to 6'4 prototypical QB who cant throw for sh1t!

The obvious question is, assuming people don't want Fitzpatrick playing QB next year, what's the alternative solution:

- Draft?
- FA, who?
- Geno?

Because Bryce Petty is simply not an option.

Depending on who we're cutting/trading Geno could be the best of a bad lot there...

I (next to zero knowledge) can't pick anything decent from the draft, and definitely nothing that could walk into a starting spot.

F/A all seems either poor quality, very expensive or too old. If we had some decent puzzle pieces you could take a flyer on someone but we're missing too much.

I'm sure the Bills don't trade and if they do it won't be to us but I really like Taylor if he comes up.

Looks to me like Fitzpatrick will be the best option available, all things considered.

I wouldn't mind going after Tyrod, if the Bills are stupid enough to let him go

Well he's not good enough to be worth the $24m he's due should they retain him. That said, he's had a decent season - 9th in QBR and middle of the pack in DYAR and DVOA. I'd be happy to have him for more than Fitz was paid this year.
