PlayoffsPlease Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Jets (known to make a personnel mistake now and then cut Tajh Boyd, With Geno, Vick and Matt Simms, they really didn't have room for a fourth. Boyd to Watkins worked pretty well at the last level. Tuel never really was projected in college to do much. At one time Boyd was pretty high profile. Personally I would rather get Pryor to replace Tuel, and wouldn't consider Boyd other than the Sammy connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAF43 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So we should sign a guy that totally fell apart to come in just to throw passes to Sammy? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 No. He isn't an answer and Sammy isn't the only receiver. Although I did think about this too, a bit during the short time after the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtbag Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 maybe they can use him as some sort of human girdle to protect sammy's ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Jets (known to make a personnel mistake now and then cut Tajh Boyd, With Geno, Vick and Matt Simms, they really didn't have room for a fourth.

Personally I would rather get Pryor to replace Tuel, and wouldn't consider Boyd other than the Sammy connection. I though the guy looked ok at Clemson. This seems like the kind of guy you want at #3 or on practice squad as a Dev prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This makes me feel even better about Watkins ability, as if that is even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Boyd is also very good friends with EJ -- so could be a decent chemistry pickup as a QB3 or practice squad option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'd take Boyd over Tuel. As someone mentioned above, he was at one point considered a top first round draft pick. He'd make a good PS QB if nothing else. Have him, Dysert and Tuel battle for #3 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddenboy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Boyd is also very good friends with EJ -- so could be a decent chemistry pickup as a QB3 or practice squad option. This would be a negative. EJ doesnt need more friends. He needs more people hungry to take his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Watching Boyd in college, he's essentially a worse version of EJ. Tajh cannot throw on the move to save his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If the Jets cut Boyd & we don't pick him up to store him on the practice squad this team will prove just how stu[id it really is when it comes to picking a QB !! The fans wonder why we can't get any respect --- just rewind the QB carousel & the different decisions made around that position & you will wonder no more . Hell i think they are still paying Fitz aren't they & he's been gone 2 years that was brilliant !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) We don't have a developmental QB on the roster. Why not pick up Boyd for a look see as a future backup QB? He won't cost much and you can always release him after a month or two if he doesn't show enough promise. He won't be a threat to EJ's psyche. There really is not much to be optimistic about concerning our QB roster, and it wouldn't make it any worse. Boyd played in two preseason games, completing eight of 17 passes for 98 yards, including one touchdown and no interceptions. His passer rating was 84.9. Of course preseason against other 2nd 3rd stringers, but how does that compare to our departed Tuel, Dixon & Palmer?
