But im certain that people close to Trevor will be giving him similar advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Is there any reason right now to believe that the Jets don't pick 1st again in 2022? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 QB in NYC is much better than a QB in Cincinnati or Jacksonville, hell most places in the NFL. Lots of dysfunctional organizations out there. Pretty sure the Jets made two AFC Championship games while the Bills went without a playoff game for 17 years. Don't throw stones especially while our defense collapses before our eyes 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I don't remember this at all. Take that Fireman Ed. 😂 After finishing 1-15 in 1996, the Jets were primed to select Peyton Manning with the No. 1 pick and team him up with the newly hired Bill Parcells and previous top pick and wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson. Then the future Hall of Famer Manning stunningly announced he would return to Tennessee for his senior season, creating one of the biggest what-ifs in Jets history. 2 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The Jets are picking 1st, they might as well put it in Neon lights in front of the stadium “We are TANKING in 2020”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Clearly the Darnold disaster is just another in a very long line of botches. But I wouldn’t run from them until the hires are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The jets should fire gase. Then tell teams...look what happened with tannehill after he left Miami give us your offers for Sam. Indy, San Fran, minny? Would they give a first? Jets then have three firsts to start loading around Lawrence. But I hope they won’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I hate to stand up for a division rival - but this kind of thinking is absolutely ridiculous. The Bills were a joke for years. Now we're back on the upswing. The league has countless stories like that over the years. Anyone remember the Patsies? Yeah - I barely do, as well.

I know he has very little help from his teammates but I mean he just looks completely lost out there and his confidence broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuvtalker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Count me in the minority here, but I have a problem with these kids coming out of college and dictating where they will or won't go. It really rubs me the wrong way. I remember when Eli came out, and basically said he refused to go to the Chargers. They ended up swinging a trade with the Giants and got an extra 1st rounder, or two? I can't remember. But even back then, I thought to myself, "what a primadonna". And I don't have anything against Eli, but I'm old school. I'm of the belief that playing in the National Football League is a privilege that less than 1% of the population ever gets bestowed upon them, and to be selected in the NFL draft is an honor of the highest level. The NFL draft is a tradition that has gone on for as long as it has without a hitch, and was designed to promote competitiveness amongst teams. Now you got these kids coming out of college, with everyone in their ear, telling them how great they are, how their crap doesn't stink, and they can tell the NFL where THEY want to go....really? I'm sorry, I just don't think it should be that way. IMO, you go where you're drafted. If you have a problem with that, there's always the CFL, Arena football, the XFL, whatever. But no NFL for you. You had the chance, and you chose to make a statement "I'm bigger than the NFL." So godspeed young man. I know I may be alone in my thinking, but I feel like if we start (or continue) letting these kids dictate where they go when they're drafted, or say where they won't go, we're setting ourselves up for further chaos and audacious actions down the road. Furthermore, we're jeopardizing a tradition that has been a part of the league for damn near ever, and messing with the competitive spirit the game revolves around.

What exactly is wrong with that? When you graduated college didnt you have a say in where you wanted to work? Who cares about tradition and a fantasy draft world. This is a person who has to consider how this move will impact the rest of his life and his family’s life. The Jets will move on as a franchise with or without Trevor for as long as the NFL is around. Trevor has one shot at this however. A window of a few years to realistically make an impression in the NFL. Im sure Darnold looks back now at his draft and wonders what wouldve been if another team drafted him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leveraged a different league and a big paycheck to avoid Buffalo. That's not quite the same as forcing a trade (like Eli) or forgoing the big paycheck for a year at the risk of injury (like Peyton). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
