Justin Fields benched

I’ve always liked Fields. I ranked all of the starting QBs on here prior to this season. I had him at 28. I more liked him from OSU than as a pro (although I didn’t think he would struggle this much this year). He looked functioning the last couple of years.

Looks like he's a running QB whose injuries from that style have caught up with him before he ever developed the ability to play as a more traditional pocket passer. So now you have a guy who isn't a huge running threat and is still very poor at making the timing throws/reading defenses. I think this was his last chance. Too bad because I thought he was fun to watch when he flashed that athleticism.

i would get Gardner Minshew for a song..... and give him the complete playbook to do whatever he wants. 

This would be entertaining.

I think Arch Manning makes it known that he will never play for the Jets, the Jets trade the #1 overall pick, and they draft a few defensive players and sign Kirk Cousins.

Like, my hope is that they finish last and draft Manning... I think Arch isnt a franchise guy and that will be another 3 or 4 year set back...

Shake up this locker room ... Mitchell Trubiski for Sauce Gardner.

 

They need a QB we need a CB ... Git er dun

 

How about Trubiski for Wilson?  

[JP51]

I think he is a classic case of a mismanaged QB 3 teams in three years none of them good... with the Steelers ultimately as a backup. He seems to be limited in ability, was never gonna be a franchise guy elite QB but could have been a fairly good top 20 qb if managed correctly.  I think at this point he is pretty much broken, gonna take a reclamation to bring him back with the right group...  gonna get flamed for this as the Raiders are a bit of a mess... but I wonder what Pete Carroll could do for him...

No rebuilding team wants Kirk Cousins.  The whole reason the Jets dumped Rodgers was they wanted a young QB.  They figured they'd give Fields a shot & if he bombed they would draft high enough to get their next QB.

You're right ... i was just kidding because, you know, Jets ...

[Albany,n.y.]

The Jets are idiots.  I just looked up his contract. He has $10 million guaranteed for next year along with 4 more years of his prorated $15 million signing bonus, which means if they cut him his dead cap hit is $22 million next year.  If they keep him his base salary of $20 million plus his prorated signing bonus cap hit of $3 million has a cap hit of $23 million.  So it's a huge cap hit either way with only a $1 million difference between keeping or cutting.  Even if they renegotiate his full salary down to the $10 million guarantee, they'd still have a cap hit of $13 million for a useless player occupying a roster spot.  If they renegotiate it down to that figure, the best thing for them to do is IR him (get Jimmy Spags to break his leg?) and free up the roster spot.

How are Aaron Glenn and Daboll still employed? 2 wins between them after 7 weeks.

Giants owners are scared of Rageaholic Daboll.  Woody believes Glenn has a copy of the Epstein documents, and he's on it.

what are the Jets rebuilding?  That starts with a QB--look wha the jets have done to that position the past 5 years--even the past 3 years.  there's no evidence they are in a rebuilding mode.

 

Cousins would be the best QB they could conjure up over the net 3 years...

I’m still waiting for Tyrod to throw a ball from back when he was on the Bills. I’ve kept that scream going for many years now. It’s in my front hall closet. 

You keep hearing the announcers saying”Tyrod takes the safe pass for negative two yards “ too.   Just thought was me!

Hey! I’m proud of him for throwing it at all. He’s obviously building on his game. You go, Dude! 👍

Glenn gets a longer rope due to his newness to the team and being saddled with a sad sack QB from. 

Giants seem to have something with Dart and Skattebo. 

That's all I have

On a serious note, if the Jets really are interested in tanking/maximizing draft picks, I wonder what it would take to pry Wilson away. Hopefully Beane is at least exploring that possibility.

It would take the NFL to end the salary cap because he just signed an extension which makes him virtually impossible to trade. Stop dreaming impossible dreams.

New GM and coach in their 1st year want a long term QB, not someone from prior management. When a new management team comes in, you can't look at any prior years as any evidence of what their plan is.. They want their own young guy as their QB, not some guy in his 30s. There have to be better options in the draft than Cousins, especially when you consider the salary cap. Cousins is 37 years old, if they wanted to wheel out an old guy, they would have kept Rodgers.
