Buffalo86 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Long tabbed for starting duties, McCown was held out all summer before some reason playing the first two series tonight. Teams almost never play their starting quarterback in the preseason finale. It was an extremely baffling decision, especially in the context of 38-year-old McCown's injury history. He was promptly injured on the second series before limping back in to finish the drive. It drove home the absurdity of the Jets' decision. The Jets are running their team like a club that wants to go 0-16. Of course, that actually is the goal, but Gang Green is being particularly flagrant about it. The Jets have the potential to be the worst offense of the modern era in 2017. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/361755/jets-try-to-get-mccown-hurt-nearly-succeed?ls=roto:NFL:topheadlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I knew something was up when the running back tackled McCown after every snap. #tanking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'm not a fan of tanking in general, and I really don't recommend it in football. The most successful case of tanking in any sport is, arguably, the 76ers, who have spent 3 out of the five years I've lived in the area actively trying to lose, and then last year when starters had even a hint of injury kept them out. I say "arguably" because despite all of those picks, and finally looking like a strong team in 2017, they haven't done anything yet. And that's in basketball, where one or two next level players can define you for a decade. We've seen the Browns be the Browns for...how long? So if the Jets want to try for the 1st overall pick, I'm tempted to let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So if the Jets want to try for the 1st overall pick, I'm tempted to let them. Agree. Even if Sam Darnold is that good they will be setting him up to fail with no offensive line to speak of, no weapons at all (I mean I like Robby Anderson and did at Temple but a 2nd year UDFA is now their #1 receiver) and not much of a defense. That could ruin him before he gets a chance to succeed IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 If the Jets or any other bad team drafts a franchise potential QB , I don't play him until the OL is safe for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff could barely make the field over Case Keenum. I really hope that even if they draft a QB high they let TT take another year as the starter, or at least force the rookie to beat him out.

BuffaloFan68 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Go back and watch Hackensack at the combine - dude was the worst QB there by a mile and yet the Jets drafted him high (they must have been high). I hope the Jets pick first and take Darnold and we land Mason Rudolph. Go Bills!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that too and have been advocating it. I think they should and will take a QB in the 1st and I would make him beat Tyrod out in camp. If he doesn't Tyrod should start and they can transition to the rookie at a later point in the season. Rather than cutting Tyrod, drafting a guy then only having him beat out some bum who loses arguments with a rubber mat. Mentioning no names.
