Maybe Matt Moore said no. We don’t know what other avenues they went but Fales was at least in the building last year. Let’s just hope we don’t need him to play. 

Moore may wrestle the thought about retirement.   He coached hs football last year but quit to be with Chiefs.   Same story for Josh McCown.    Whatever!

Is signing Fales further evidence of Gases stubbornness? His blatant unwillingness to expand his horizons?

Probably not - Ultimately I doubt he makes the final roster. Maybe this a precautionary signing to retain a guy familiar with the system in the event that OTAs/Training camp/Preseason is shortened/restricted? There are certainly better options available. Could you imagine having to sit through David Fales all over again? That'd be it for me.

Hilarious considering Fales didn’t take a single snap for us last year.

My mistake, confused him with Falk. Not sure that changes anything though, the first part of the post was meant to be satirical.

Word for the dedicated posters on here who will listen lol:

Anyone who says they would like "any one" of the media consensus top rated prospects in the draft simply isn't very informed. Scheme and fit play into it, and there are players that the media has rated outside of their top 8, top 10, top 12 that will go a lot higher on draft day and will end up being better players than the consensus leads you to beleive. Not everyone has the time, effort, or attention to follow prospects and develop their own analysis for players and that's OK, but don't let these people post with a sense of entitlement as if they're actually doing the research, actually watching the tape, actually reading the reports; don't let them get away with acting like they know what their talking about when they don't. Instead, be open with what you believe and why you believe it. Challenge those people to put up better content. Respect those who have their own beliefs but demand they provide good, insightful reasons for them. 

Best practice: ask a person why they like a specific player and what they don't like about that player. Ask why they think that player fits with the Jets. Ask why they have a certain opinion. It usually separates those who know what they're talking about, i.e. @Rockice_8 who has been giving some input on why he ranks his players the way he does and honest assessments of attributes he really likes (i.e. the desire to have Ruggs - for the record, my emotional side feels the same way and I somewhat selfishly wish that the OL class wasn't so strong- I want nothing more than to see those 50+ yard TDs, but conventional wisdom says OL is the better way to go), which are clearly uninfluenced by popular opinion or perceived need whether you agree with him or not. He does a good job of expressing the specific trait that is appealing about a player and how they can fit with this team, and why he likes one prospect over another. Short and sweet analysis like that make it clear who the good posters are from those who are phonies and simply base their desires off of fantasy and "lists" and "big boards", which so conveniently change by the day. 

We're all Jets fans in here, but the reason I chose this board over others was because it wasn't like what twitter is today: one sentence BS filled with sensationalist attitudes, criticism, no depth and nothing but negativity. Be like Rockice. Appreciate guys like Rockice. @NewAgeand I used to have good philosophical discussions about the game- didn't always agree, but the opinions were informed and were sound. Same can be said for @jetsfan4life51, @ekill08x (who was certainly the biggest pessimist on here, but 10 years later turned out to be very right lol), @TheChad who like Chad Pennington, seems to be a quiet observer and then drops a very good post, @KingOfTheDot who has been putting some very good stuff out there, @JetsandI - who I could swear has been on here as like 8 different users - but not positive, @mattmanz91@Spiel612 who used to be GREAT, @BlaZeN37 who I've worked with many times on FFMD, as well as @Bianconero, @Dr.O, @MoLewis57, @Jag68Sid87, @xenajets... there are tons of guys and the list goes on and on. Will always love the old FF, just doesn't seem the content it's nearly as good today as it was back then, despite the upgrades to the site. 

But point is, appreciate the good content, appreciate the people who have original ideas and posts, appreciate those with informed opinions.

It's OK to have an opinion- no one can take that away from you- but I respect those who at least post an informed one. 

 

Feel free to DM for my instagram or twitter, where I may begin be posting more Jet related stuff- possibly consolidated in another blog until this goddman quarantine is over. 

Otherwise, I may be around from time to time in the NFL General/NFL Draft sections, or like I said DM me (it goes to my email so I'll see it).

Signing off for now!

✌🏼

Dude I really hope you consider to stick around. This board needs you. Hope you reconsider my friend.

It's a passing league, you need WRs.

Yes we need QB to throw and OL to protect.  But we also need weapons.  JJ or CD or even Ruggs gives us a decent stable to work with. The line should see an improvement from last season so lets improve WR now.  Not liking 2nd round options especially with our history.  We can always use a 3rd to trade up with our 2nd to grab a falling Tackle.

Pretty much my thoughts. I don’t see the likes of Hamler, Aiyuk, People-Jones moving the needle for me enough to say “ok we got our WR for Darnold.” And that’s even if those guys are available. Like I’ve stated... you can pretty much cross off the likes of Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Jefferson and Mims off our list completely if we’re waiting until 48. As well is it being very unlikely Reagor, Higgins, Shenault there either.

Yeah we might have to take a WR, but then we HAVE to sign Jason Peters for a year or two until we are in a position to take a tackle. I dont want to waste another mid round pick on another bad OT. We already have one in Chuma who needs to show way more to be on this team. Having a dynamic WR could make our offense.

We don't have to take a mid round tackle.  We can take one round 2 or trade back into the 1st.
