buffaloboyinATL Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 2 hours ago, Captain_Quint said: A 40yr old QB and 2 33yr old tackles. What could go wrong over 17-21 games?? You have higher expectations for them than I do. They will only play 17 games, and their 40 year old QB will play less than half of them.

If it weren't for JA17, they probably be right. If the Bills didn't have Allen, they would have lots more cap space, wouldn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 1 minute ago, Green Lightning said: True. And jockeying draft picks to Find QB! Truth. Look at the Jests ... it's been about a quarter of a century since they hit on a decent franchise QB in the first round (or any round) with Chad Pennington taken #18 in 2000 (the same draft that produced Mike Vick and Tom Brady) who couldn't stay healthy ... and about 60 years since they drafted a first round QB who was a bonafide franchise QB (Joe Namath) ... and their current QB is 40-years-old and thinking about running for VP!

Looks 45 on the field. Can’t move anymore. Jets are a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Smith will end in the HoF. Only Trent Williams and Andrew Whitworth of that generation are in the same tier. He has battled injuries the last 4 seasons and at 33 that is a risk but he played 13 games in 2023, giving up just 18 pressures and 1 sack. He was still pretty elite. If he can stay healthy this is a homerun for the Jets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly why the Jets never have sustained success. Always in win now mode. They aren't looking for youth. Both Douglas and Saleh know if they don't win they are goners. So they take big risks on Hall of Fame level talents in the hope it buys them another. Problem even if it does work it only buys them another year.

This is why the Jets were (supposedly) surprised that he signed. https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/tyron-smith-worth-inside-dallas-cowboys-contract-details-new-york-jets-sign-6-million https://thejetpress.com/posts/ny-jets-surprised-tyron-smith-contract-details-cheap Edited March 17 by Billy Claude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Health will be the key. Who knows, he could go down in game 1 like Rodgers, who had been an ironman (unlike Smith) before then, did. Edited March 17 by Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s “nowhere near starting caliber”, then I don’t know who is considering the guy who was first team All Pro last year is going to be 36 and also missed a couple of games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And saying that a second team All Pro player who just got $20 million a year is nowhere near starting caliber is one of them. That’s your statement, not mine. Not only is he not great, and not only his he not good, and not only is he not average, and not only is he not even below average, and not only is he not a solid backup…he’s nowhere near starting caliber. What other all pros from last season are nowhere near starting caliber, in your view? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjnick Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Dude is a walking ouchie. I don't think he has played a full season in a long time. Glad the Jets paid for his services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
