I don’t know that any of them stand out the way a true top 2 usually is.

Williams hqs a ton of red flags. Maye is a big time tools over results guy.

Even if the Jets are 7-10 range, they could get a shot at Daniels or Nix. Assuming the QB holds.

But it’s all moot bc they will absolutely not draft a QB with Rodgers on this team.
If the Jets see a QB they really want for their future then I would take him. Rodgers is not long term. A draft picks contract will not be that much. That is if they have totally closed the door on Zach no matter how he plays. If he plays well he could bring a second day pick.

correct on both.
Flacco was a disaster with Denver as well. He was basically a statue back there and couldn't move. Incredible what he is doing with the Browns so far (small sample size). I guess good coaching/having good offensive line is.

What Mahomes said to Allen after the game was a joke. Did Burrows say that to Mahomes when the refs gave them numerous calls in the AFC finals?
I agree. An oline makes so much difference!

In regards to Mahomes on Nov 1 2021 the Giants had KC beat. Mahomes threw a late int that was wiped out on a bogus call. Mahomes gets as many calls as anyone not named Brady.

If Douglas is running the draft I can't see them picking a QB. Douglas will be drafting solely for 2024 impact, knowing that if the team doesn't get it done in 2024 there will be no future for him to worry about. He'll draft a lineman or a WR or something.

I don't know what next year's crop of QBs will look like but I'd honestly rather someone else pick the next QB rather than Douglas.

I absolutely agree with you re what they should do. But I don’t think they will. They will draft a WR or OL bc Rodgers.

everyone knows how he reacted over Jordan Love. Even though he isn’t a long term player here, they’ll be terrified of him going on McAfee and trashing the pick.

Plus as @nyr2k2 said - they’ll all get fired next year if they don’t win. If they do well next year, and Rodgers retires and they’re stuck without a QB - they can sell that

Well they certainly gave Rodgers everything he asked for this season so you could be right. If that is the case Zach may stay. Never know how long Rodgers will last at 41 next season.

What the Jets should do and what Douglas and Saleh are incentivized to do are two different things. Jets should absolutely draft a QB, but Douglas and Saleh are fighting for their lives and going to look to shore up the rest of the offense around Rodgers.

I would be on board with a QB if they had the first or second pick , but no chance now. I’m not taking 80 year old Penix or Nix to sit a year.

Now, they could take a qb in the mid rounds, and just let him sit. Someone like a Michael Pratt or Jordan Travis.

The Jets are going to probably beat at least one of the Commanders and Pats, the defense will do to Howell and Zappe what they did to Stroud yesterday, it will just be a matter if they score enough.

Detroit took a flier on Hendon Hooker despite having Goff. I wonder how that will turn out.

Barkley showing why he's worth the big bucks. Not just anybody can fall down and fumble for absolutely no reason.

Kudos for being on #TeamTank. I respect it.

Drafting a day 2 QB is always a good idea. Having a decent QB on a cheap rookie deal can make a big impact on roster building while tanking for a crap shoot top 3 QB like Zach Wilson means being stuck with a large dead cap hit after 3 bad years.

Here is the list of 30 QBs taken in the top 5 since 2000. What's the hit rate? There's some good QBs here but there's only 1 QB on this list that won a super bowl with the team that drafted him and even that comes with an asterisk.
