Third QB picked this year looks the best...although appreciate Burrow's season got cut short It seems like their general thought/hope was that the prospect of Lawrence would make the jets very appealing for a top hc and also fa would desire to play there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that Tua hype and he has the looks of a mobile Trent Edwards. Burrow looked fantastic but similar to the Jets what’s the point in an elite prospect surrounded by practice squad players? Stop stressing rookies that haven’t played yet. That said, as a fan base it’s hilarious for the Jets. They deserve it ( a lot of them) Lawrence is probably one of the most NFL-ready QB's to come out in recent memory. Obviously Mahomes was tailor made for this league too, but he reminds me of the hype given to Manning or Luck coming out of college. He has all the size, mobility, arm strength. and accuracy you would want and has played in big games with ice in his veins. He could flame out in the wrong situation, or get hurt...nothing is guaranteed, but he is not a prospect any GM not set at the position should pass on. I usually don't buy too much into the hype, but glad if the kid plays somewhere other than AFC East. The Jets blowing that is like that fighter paid to take a dive, but has too much pride and knocks the other guy out. Too funny. Would be nice if we could own Belichick and the rest of the AFC East for a decade or two. Edited December 21, 2020 by WideNine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeTeam Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I've never been a big fan of bashing other teams. I remember how ***** it was when the bills were the laughing stock. This is going to be an unpopular take around here, but since the Bills are looking like they are going to be good for some time, maybe we should act with some decency or we will soon become what we so resented (Patriots fans). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The Jets are way better than their record talent wise. Same was true of the Dolphins last year when they were 0-8. The players and the coaching staff (who will get fired soon) could care less about a draft pick, they have pride and dont' want to go 0-16. What could the Jets do here really? I guess they could over rule the coaches and play an OL at QB or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bleedingreennc said: I will take the win! No draft pick is guaranteed to pan out! Useless win, and I don't believe you. Bills fans have been through this before, in the 68 season, when a generational talent named OJ Simpson was going first. A last month one win game wasn't worth losing him. If the Jets lose this "opportunity," it not only has the chance to effect the AFC East for years, it also has the potential to significantly determine head coaching and coordinator jobs for your franchise, and carries a potentially massive trade option hit. Enjoy your win. Immediate gratification is deserved, but it might be the very definition of a pyrrhic victory. Couldn't work out any better for the rest of the division.

He had a good college career, but so did Manziel, Rosen, Tebow, hell even Jamarcus Russell 45 minutes ago, Augie said: I don’t mean to be harsh, but that should be an embarrassing post for you. The guys you compared him to were ALL major questions, despite how highly some were drafted. Trevor likely would have been the first pick in the draft after ONE season at Clemson. If you watch and understand the game even a little (and I do NOT claim to be the expert many here are), you will see the obvious difference. Taro's comps weren't very good but the bolded is valid. Who was the last 'can't miss' college QB? The one that comes to my mind is Luck. Didn't exactly set the world on fire. Trevor may very well do just that, but history says it's not the slam dunk folks make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be enough to take them to the promised land. But he IS something like 85-3 since high school. That and what I’ve watched says something to me.

muppy Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Maybe Im not really understanding this...so the jests are blaming their ills at the feet of Darnold? Are they already finished with him? Apparently according to the consensus opinion here that would be a yes since they are in the Trevor Lawrence draft discussion. I would say the coaching and management are at least as culpable for their ills as san darnold....? am I wrong? what am I missing here? I guess they could always trade Darnold *shrugs*......

Sorry, not trying to dig in and argue, but Luck took teams who had no business being in the playoffs for some pretty good rides. If he had had a better supporting cast and a little more time (in today’s standards, he played about a half of a career), there’s no telling how he might be viewed decades from now. How he is viewed down the road will be very interesting. I do know his twitter stuff was funny as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
