If the Falcons are close I wouldn't be surprised to see him threaten to pull a Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck and return to Clemson if he doesn't like the prospect of where he might have to go. Maybe. But wouldn't he be passing up on 35 million dollars or somewhere close to it? I know nothing of his economic background. Also, if he signs with one of the New Jersey teams (a very strong possibility imo), I can't begin to imagine the amount of money he will make. Rogers and Manning make a few bucks in advertisements, no? Now I am talking about NY money, in addition to the women and the nightlife. We are talking about the next Joe Namath in terms of hype. I'm curious.....do you think that the NFL DESPERATELY wants Trevor to play in NJ? I do and if I was betting on games I would bet accordingly. My guess is that he goes to the Jets but as always, JMO.

DrDawkinstein Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The Falcons will definitely be the hottest open job. IMO, a much better ownership situation than Texans, Jets, Lions, etc. Matt Ryan is barely standing on his last legs. But with a dead cap hit of $49M next year (and even $26M in 2022) I'm not sure how quickly the Falcons can move on from him. I'd be happy to see Lawrence land there, and sit behind Ryan for a year. I'd be happy to see Daboll land there (if he is going to go anywhere). I'm not necessarily scared/worried about either of them, but I'd still rather see them out of the Division and even the Conference if possible.

And I'd say it's about even between having Watson, and having (Ryan + Lawrence). But yes, if Falcons dont secure the #1 pick then Texans do edge out on existing roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are going 1-15 or more probably, 0-16. I see no way that Lawrence isn't a Jet next spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is already fully expecting that down here. I also think an Elway/Eli move is completely on the table to get himself out of going to the Jets. And I wouldnt blame him one bit.

And don't rule out the Giants either ... their biggest problem is it will be hard not to get a couple wins playing other NFC East teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are strong competition for the top overall pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let's put it this way: Josh Allen out (heaven forbid), we can pick up one of the following to start for us at QB the next 6 weeks: - Minshew - Darnold - Flacco - Daniel Jones I'm going Minshew, Flacco, Darnold, Jones in that order.

unclepete Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 11 hours ago, Thurman#1 said: Agree to disagree. He's had talent around him on and off. I don't think he's the problem there at all. Their defense is most of the problem. Having said that, he's 35, and they could consider bringing in the next guy. He's not THE problem but I see him as a Ryan Tannehill in terms of skill. Just surrounded by more talent and asked to throw a lot more. Not bad but not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no way that Lawrence isn't a Jet next spring. Let's take a look at the "Sunshine Sweepstakes" The Falcons might get 3 wins this year. Rd. 2 with Carolina, the Lions, and possibly Denver. The rest of those games are L's. They could lose them all though. The Giants showed some signs of life yesterday. They could possibly end up with 2 to 5 wins looking at the remainder of their schedule. They have 5 more games in a putrid division, the Bengals, and a Jekyll/Hyde Arizona team. I think they will win 3 of those games. The Jets are the worst team in the NFL right now. Their schedule is also the toughest remaining of all the crappy teams vying for that #1 pick. This truly looks like a winless team right now. I can't see them stealing a game from anyone. How the Jaguars stole that week 1 game from Indy I'll never know. They too are a team devoid of talent on the field outside of a couple players and without a competent coaching staff. The game against the Lions will determine if they get another W or not. After that it's all L's on the schedule. Washington snuck up on Philly in the opener, play in a terrible division, and they have a solid defense. They also have a bunch of winnable games on deck. I think they will get 4 or 5 more wins and play themselves out of the Sunshine Sweepstakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yep, that would be a Kyle Orton Jr. guy! If we're talking long term, I gotcha ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its imperative that this happens, the last time the Bills were good is when Ralph stfu and let Polian and Levy run the show, it just is what it is...

That’s insane. Minshew cannot play the position. He’s AWFUL. I can’t believe he has a starting job. I saw him airmail more passes in two quarters yesterday than Allen has in his entire career. Meanwhile, Darnold and Jones can win you games, and Flacco won a Super Bowl. Odd take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the family is pretty well off..........I seem to remember some clips of him in one of those suburban McMansions with his family during the elite 11 show that year. It was focused pretty heavy on Lawrence(Peyton Manning comp) and Fields(Tyrod Taylor was his comp😊) and Matt Corral(Brett Favre was his comp). Anyway I think after seeing what has happened to Darnold and is happening to Jones.........the situation and people running the NJ organizations will be more important than the potential advertising income because a couple losing seasons and he will be persona non grata like Darnold is.

OK. In that case he might want to stay down south. Also, NYC at this time.....let me just say that NYC has seen better days and leave it at that. Otoh, I am unable to imagine the Jets winning a game. One thing is certain.....this will be quite the interesting off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
