Hackenberg wins starting gig in preseason
Jets go 8-8, above and beyond all expectations
Franchise QB articles written about Hack

When you play a 300LB DT at OLB, weaknesses may be present.

The soon to be 0-16 Jets are a half a game ahead of the Patriots. FYI.

There is no way Bob Kraft is any smarter than Woody Johnson. He just hired the right coach and lucked into a qb.
Well Kraft is an accomplished businessman whereas Woody inherited $2 billion, managed to not lose it, and flips $100m penthouses for fun and profit.

I see 2 potentially winnable games on the Jets schedule this year, home v Bills and home v Jags. Anything else is just pure dumb luck.

Pre-Belichick Kraft fired Pete Carroll after a 3-year 27-21 record stint and tried to move the team to Hartford. That would be considered meddlesome were it not for accidentally hiring a dark lord out of spite and lottery-balling the best qb ever.

I don’t think there any way after 3-2 than they get ahead of the Browns or 9ers in the draft and the 2 QB’s are going 1-2.
[/quote]Im actually quite OK with Kirk Cousins. I think he goes to the Niners though.

Cousins is gonna get like 160M... If he goes to the 9ers, Jets will have to trade up to 2.

So be it. I'm ok with either paying Cousins or trading the ransom for a top 2 pick. At some point you need to pull the trigger on a QB.

Laffo. Have you seen the players we trot out on offense? People didn't think the Jets would score 10 points a game this season and McCown is throwing for 350 against the Pats.

My point is the Jets were Jetsy and spent two thirds of the game punting or throwing picks. Outside of the touchback ruling, nothing that happened in the officiating of that game was abnormal from any regular Sunday.
Minus the lovely call, the Jets punted 4 times and turned it over twice. The Pats punted 4 times and turned it over twice.

Let's not get all LOLJets when Pats offense was equally as effective.

Our offense is cobbled together with waiver adds and rookies. You have 3 Pro Bowlers and 2 All Pros in your secondary and the 2nd highest paid CB in the game.

I'm just saying that you should feel really bad about your underperforming trash team. Whereas the Jets are scrappy underdogs made of guys not even good enough to make the Pats roster (Ealy).

Jets finally have a good OC and he’ll probably leave after 1 year.

The draft position thing no longer matters since the Browns, Niners, and probably not even the Giants will win 4 games.

McCown leads the league in TD passes over 15 yards. No one in their right mind wants an extension but it’s a testament to Morton that QB play isn’t holding them back too much.

It’s really good to me that before the season jets fans were saying they were tanking but would talk about how afraid they were that the team would win too much for a good pick while staying out of the playoffs, and then they went .500 and they were hype and forgot all about it, and now it’s crashing back in on them

When they were 3-2 I said it was somewhat likely that they’d end the season 3-13. Obviously they’ve beaten that but they’re a bad team thats super young other than at QB. There’s a lot to like going forward assuming they make a play for a QB in the offseason.

The QB coach just basically called him a AAA player yesterday so I’m guessing never.

Meanwhile, Jeff Ireland is getting all the credit for the Saints upswong.

Diva Cupcake

Petty and Hackenberg don’t start because the entire team knows that they’re trash QBs who aren’t and probably will never be as good as a 38 year old journeyman bad QB. Like they’re bad enough to need to aspire to McCown levels of badness.

If Bowles starts them he’s signaling to the team that he’s no longer trying to win games so why should they.

I think Bowles has done a reasonable job this year with the roster he’s been given.

This was expected. I’m ok with Bowles honestly. I don’t think he’s a bad coach and the organizational stability is good.

The last head coach the Jets hired who wasn't a "promising young coordinator" was Bill Parcells. Or Belichick if you want to be a dick.

They generally don't hire retreads and it obviously hasn't worked out all that well.

Diva Cupcake
Aug 15, 2005

They're going to have $100m in cap space and not too many internal FA other than like ASJ and Demario Davis. Cousins and LeVeon Bell seem doable.

Go all 2011 Spartans on them.

Diva Cupcake
Aug 15, 2005

Well the point is to improve upon that roster and the first step is to head into a season with an actual top 8-12ish starter instead of wondering how many QB benchings you'll go through in a given year.

They have ~$100m in cap space. Signing Kirk would be fine.

I was going to say it's probably aggressive/hopeful to think that any rookie TE will play a significant number of non-ST snaps but then I looked at OurLads and Gesicki is actually TE1 on Miami.

Jets actually have a worse TE situation but this is still surprising to me.
