The same, you might say The Jets and Giants couldn't even combine teams right now and make a better team. The only thing good about football in NY is the Buffalo Bills.

I’m more talking about the vibe, culture and media. You could be in large parts of jersey and not know you were not in Georgia or South Carolina. He grew up 40 miles from the Atlanta sprawling metropolis. 45 min west of Hobie (which has no culture to bother with, BTW) and you're in the coun---tree. 45 min north of Manhattan and you are in the sticks as well.

Oh, I agree, but it’s still very different. Im from Long Island. I now live down south. Cartersville is not Atlanta, or even the sprawl or North Metro. It’s still pretty rural that way. Clemson is about 30 minutes from Greenville, which is a mid-size city, growing fast, but still with the southern vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but go 40-50 miles up from the city to places like Roscoe and Gohsen and thereabouts and you'll see the Stars and Bars in people's living room windows. He would feel right at home. Anyway, players often don't own a primary home where they play anyway (especially on rookie contract)---so it really doesn't matter where he ends up--it will be a large metro area.

blacklabel Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I would avoid the Jets like the plague until they're under new ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be interesting to see if you can take two crappy rosters and make a good team. At least on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 1 hour ago, H2o said: I think Lawrence would rather go anywhere other than the Jets tbh. There's also a wild card here. There's been talk of Dabo moving on to the NFL. Say he wins another title this year and makes that jump. It will almost certainly be to one of the teams at the top of the draft order. Could be some collusion of sorts going on behind the scenes. I don’t think Dabo’s persona plays in NFL locker rooms. The power dynamic is different. He’s perfect for where he is. More money and less aggravation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think the Jets will have the 1st pick in the draft but TL will refuse to play for them forcing the Jets to make a trade for 2 1st rd picks 2 2nd rd picks and a star player for TL.

This whole country is that way. I always get a kick out of WNYers from little towns in the country who speak with a sort of Southern drawl and watch NASCAR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Jets are that much worse than any other team that would typically be drafting 1st overall (Are this year's Jets that much worse than the Bengals in 2019?) The Jets have a stud LT and a decent center. They also have an extra first round pick the next 2 years, flexible cap space, some pieces on defense like Williams and could probably fetch additional picks for Darnold who I think at worst fetch a 2nd and mid round pick if not a late 1st. So I don't see how the Jets are that historically bad that someone would stay an extra year or avoid the team. BUT why join a team you aren't enthusiastic about when the salary cap and rookie deal will be lower? The Jets are bad but so is any team with the number one pick 90% of the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to pick on the Jets now. We’ll see how they finish. Could still be historically bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I may be wrong on this but didn't Peyton Manning decide to remain at Tennessee partly because the Jets had the first pick in the '97 draft. It would be funny if Lawrence did the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
