New York Jets Thread

Yeah I think he'll be gone by the time the trade deadline comes around. And there's no better time than the present to start Sam

Three way battle for QB.  Darnold and McCown are there to stay.  Bridgewater looks good and should have the chance for more playing time with another team.  Jets will probably showcase him more in the final preseason games in hopes of getting a good draft pick for a trade.  He would help the Bills, Dolphins and Patriots, but I doubt the Jets would trade him to divisional opponents.  The Bengals seems to make the most sense, then maybe the Jaguars.  And the Giants, Chargers and Saints all have aging QB’s where adding Bridgewater would be beneficial.

I think Tampa could make a play for him aswell, WInston get help but get in trouble and he's definitely better than fitz.

The ideal situation for me would be to package him and a couple of high draft picks to Oakland for Mack #pipedreams

Bills now without AJ McCarron could be a bit more keen, I'm very curious to see what we would be offered though... Colts rejected a 2nd round offer for Jacoby Brissett, even with a couple more years youthfulness and an extra year contract Teddy is in the same area?

I think the Bills will role with Allen and Peterman.

I don't think they'll get a 2nd for him, at the end of the day he hasn't played a full regular season game in 2 years. I think FA shown how much faith teams have in him, as far as I'm aware the Jets were the only team that went after him.
I think a 4th would be more realistic or maybe a 3rd if some team got really desperate

Josh is the starter, was always going to be the starter. It's not a big question at all.

Darnold wouldn't surprise me at all, taking nearly all of the first team reps now. I think it's fairly wide open.

I don't understand compensation picks fully but depending on how much he earns the following year we could be awarded up to a third for him? If that's the case better to hold onto him and let him walk at the end of the year potentially?

If they spend even half the money they have on FA or renewing contracts I doubt they'll have any comp picks for the next couple of years

There are numerous examples over the years of the long term future of a franchise benefiting from redshirting their first pro season. Josh McCown's $10m contract for this year is fully guaranteed, so they've paid him to play.

I dont by into that, they paid McCown before they'd drafted anyone. If Darnold out performs him in camp he should start in my opinion. People are acting like the Jets have Darnold for the rest of his career, they have him for 5. I dont see the point in cutting one of those years just because you've paid someone else.

special teams been an absolute nightmare tonight! And 10 penalties in the 1st have alone, discipline still a major issue

I fear that this may only carry us to 5 or 6 wins at most.

This would have been all I expected them to get to be honest, they got 5 last year and they havent really added a whole lot since, this offseason was all about finding the future QB

I am also unconvinced about Bowles and his ability to motivate players and I wonder if he will last past this season.

I'm still of the opinion he should have been sacked last season, I just dont think he's head coach material

very shallow offensive

It looked a lot better last night than it did last week, I konw thats not saying a whole lot though. The big issue last night was Qvale and to be fair to him he's not an LT. If Beachum can stay fit for the season they should be alright, if he gets injured their fcuked!

Poor running game

I'm not too worried about the run game, none of them have really been given a chance to get a rhythm going so far, I have faith that come week one Powell and Crowell will be a decent 1 2 punch

no pass rush

This is worrying all right and its been a real problem for a long time, it needs to be one of the first things they address next off season. One decent outside rusher would make a world of difference. What would you be prepared to give up to get a player like Mack?

high penalty count

This was embarrassing last night, that sort of ill discipline starts and ends with the coaching staff!

very poor special teams

Another embarrassing element of last night, there hasnt been decent special teams play since Westhoff left. If Cannon fields even one kick/punt this season the ST coach needs to be fired on the spot!

The bright spots are Darnold

Needs to be QB1 on week 1 imo

A couple of other bright spots for me last night were Henry Anderson, he was causing issues for the Giants interior o-line alot last night, he could end being a very worth while pick up. Nathan Shepard was unreal in run defence last night, he's looking like a real spent 3rd rounder. Its great to see Q catching balls again as well.

I'd really hope we can improve the penalty situation though.

I think we've been saying this for the last 3 years, so that coupled with the new rules I can see penalties remaining a problem.

Also play calling can only get better right?

I assume they were only playing with a fraction of the play book due to it been the pre season

A lot of noise today about the Jets trading for Khalil Mack. I would be very uncomfortable trading away next year's first when we have no second and so many gaps on the roster. I think th he Jets should wait to see who breaks free in free agency next year or how the draft might break as I think they will have a very early pick.

We're not in win-now mode and we have more holes than just Mack to fix, also am I seeing it right that he is in his last year of contract anyway? Trading a first or more would be madness imo. He's definitely well needed and filling a huge hole, and we have the cap space for now, but draft picks are too valuable for us now.

So the Jets have earned a third round pick for nothing. Darnold has looked good in pre-season (by all accounts) and McCown is a solid backup. Good business.

The only problem with this decision being that Bridgewater was clearly the best QB on our roster and was only 25 years old...

Or, you know, play him as the starter for peanuts for the season and maybe win a bunch of games?

Celebrating a third round pick is nonsense imo.

this teams not good enough to win a bunch of games, regardless of who is at QB
