  1. I feel like the jets board may be 1) Joe Alt 2) Harrison/Nabbers/odunze 3) Bowers 4)Fuaga/Fantanu/Latham I'm sure the QBs are somewhere in there too but I can't see they actually using a high first in a QB with Rodgers here. Hed riot. I don't want Bowers because of the absolutely massive bust risk but atleast there is a sky high upside and the blueprint with Laporta is there.
  2. I only do throwback or custom. Not worth the risk with current players.
  3. Brett Favre was also an old, all time great when we got him. And , much like Rodgers he couldn't make it through the season without a bad injury that ended up costing us a playoff shot. Saying Douglas hasn't missed is also a huge stretch. We brought in two old, injury prone tackles, failed to get Keenan Allen and had to pivot to Mike Williams, who is also older and oft-injured. Our backup QB is an upgrade, but, seriously, look at his career numbers. If Tyrod Taylor has to play any meaningful snaps we aren't winning. The mistake, with Wilson, wasn't drafting him, it was completely,utterly failing to support and develop him. It's the exact same reason Darnold crashed and burned. Pretending the players just sucked and development wasn't an issue only exacerbates the problem and increases the likelihood of repeated the same issues. You should take a trip down memory lane and read about this fan bases excitement over draft ling Wilson and trading sam. https://forums.footballsfuture.com/topic/35305-jets-trade-qb-sam-darnold-to-carolina/
  4. I'm so tired of being a Jets fan. I cannot celebrate the trading away of Zach Wilson. It's just the cycle repeating itself all over again. Like Darnold, Like Smith, Like Sanchez. Its like I argued 4 years ago when so many on this board were clamoring to dump Sam and draft Zach. The right move then was always to keep Sam and trade out of three. We would have gotten an absolute haul that would have allowed us to see if Sam was any good with an actual line and wrs instead of the garbage decisions we made in drafting Zach and throwing him into a dumpster fire. It sucks. We are back on the Brett Favre portion of a cycle, clinging to hope that some old formerly good QB can somehow do good for 1 or 2 seasons before we go back to drafting QBs high and refusing to do the leg work of actually sitting and developing them. The sad part is, Woody has no balls. He has no ability to stand up to wishy washy, fickle fans. Instead he caves to the loudest most impulsive segments of fandom and sports media, firing coaches and forcing moves far before they are sensical. Until he's gone, this stupid cycle of impatient, short sighted decision making is going to continue to prevent this team from actually developing a consistent winner. Chasing Instant success is a fools errand, and the dumbest part of the whole thing, is that we actually hit gold with the 09/10 Ryan squads but immediately flushed it down the drain the second there was a speedbump. We played in a division with BRady and Bill, there were always going to be speed bumps, but those teams should have been given the more leash instead of continually dumping our best wrs. So, yay, we got rid of the kid we destroyed.... yay. We wasted years.... yay we wasted all the value we could have gotten by trading down instead of taking him.... yay..... Now we get to draft a TE at 10 and hope our injury riddled offensive line can hold up and protect our nutjob 40 yo QB coming off a major injury,while also hoping that we draft the next Russel wilson or kirk cousins with a mid round pick instead of james morgan or ryan mallett or any number of the dozens of midround qbs that bust every single draft. yahoo.
  5. I'd lol so hard at a Denver/Wilson Vs Minny/Darnold superbowl. Woody and the Jets should be humilated by how bad they bungled those guys
  6. Thanks! Been a long time coming. Very excited.
  7. You still in Maine? I'm in southern New Hampshire. Actually just got married this past weekend in York Beach at short sands.
  8. Finally a topic where being a Jets fan doesn't bring immediate shame. Thankfully, our lack of talent evaluation and player development has all but evaporated the chances of a player leaving us and being any good at all. The best player to fit this mold in recent memory is probably Johnathan vilma. He was pretty good with us but we changed defenses and he went to New Orleans and carved out a pro bowl career. Leonard williams was, briefly good with the Giants. Bryce Huff has a shot to be that guy in philly though. Edited to add Demario Davis. He did well after leaving my.
  9. All I'd want is something simple and small like the Pennington era jersey
  10. Jersey looks almost great. I just absolutely hate the lack of any jets branding on the jersey. Really makes it kind of feel like some sort of unlicensed knockoff that couldn't use the logos.
  11. Fair 🤣 very fair. I've just, been well trained in the art of losing. I was born in November of 86. I root for the Mets, jets, Knicks, and Islanders. I've never gotten to witness a championship team in any major sport. I have gotten to watch the the rangers win one, Celtics win multiple titles, the Red Sox win multiple times, the Yankees, braves( a million divisional titles too), nationals Marlins and Phillies all win and of course the patriots dominate everyone..... Sooo yeah, losing is what we do.
  12. To me, that Denver trade out is crazy. I just don't see a world in which the "leverage" a falling qb and get so little in return. While the points chart may indicate the broncos win this deal, it's only by a margin of a mid 4th round pick. That's not nearly the premium that generally comes from the cost of a team moving up for a QB, nor does it really reflect the cost associated with moving completely out of round one.
  13. Still hate the lack of New York or jets logoing on the jersey. Makes it feel like an unlicensed product .
  14. I don't like tight ends high. They never justify their spot. Ever. Pitts almost did, for one season, then disappeared. That said, I get the temptation and if it did actually work out he would be a game breaker. I can't get too mad at shooting for the moon. I'd prefer an OT first but getting a decent one in the second is ok.
  15. I only want Tackle or WR in the first round. I'm fine with a trade down, but it's still gotta be one of those two positions. For the record, I also don't care for TEs before the third round but if understand why they may take Bowers.
  16. It was a great main event. My main nitpick was the lack of the bloodline for the first 3/4s of the match. The whole point of bloodline rules was that they were allowed to be there. By not having them out there at the start, it made me feel like it telegraphed that nothing matters until they all show up. The other issue I have is with the booking of Rollins. All that stuff about Cody killing his character by giving his mania shot to the rock, that all applies to Rollins too rolling all but the away his title match against McIntyre and still threw himself under the bus in an effort to save Cody. What did he get for his troubles? Lost vs Rock/reigns and lost title. I get that there is a nuanced redemption story folded in since he is a face and they wanted to tell the story of his guilt in"creating" roman. The chairshot by Reigns was terrific story telling there. I feel like Rollins needs time off and Cody should announce on Raw that Rollins gets a shot at his title once healthy.
  17. Charizard eventually comes back to ash Super OP. Will Huff come back and go gang busters?
  18. This is the correct answer. Get the tackle for this season and then future. Draft some raw toolsy QB later. If he sucks, it's easy enough to cut bait and swing again.
  19. Just weird logic here by the Jets. Lose Huff for nothing,then give up a 3rd(or 2nd if he plays well) for his replacement? Id have understood drafting someone with a third because then the player would be cheap, but here he is expensive too.
  20. I didn't see it but I think it's a lock at this point. The signing off Mariotta was the key for me. They went with the mobile vet option to keep the offense similar and they will hope that he can help the rookie through some of the growing pains mobile QBs face.
  21. I'm not convinced that he has any say over Zach Wilson. Woody has come out and said that he has a price for ZW and won't accept less. Reportedly, the jets have gone as far as to DECLINE trade offers.
  22. Lol, Madden won't get that kickoff system in time for 25.
  23. And to see how much those that cling on can make. Like, how is Nathan Peterman still getting contracts. The guy has earned over 7 million dollars already.
  24. I certainly don't love Bowers or any TE high because the pay off has, for all intents, never hit. Maybe Dallas Clark or Jeremy shockey could be considered close. Some, like Pitts have had a season of production, but nothing sustained. I'd prefer tackle or trade down but it's a possibility that they are convinced that Rodgers can develop him. And if he does hit, man, what a game breaker he could be.
