The Golden Jets rule on draft day is either trade up into the first or trade down into the third or just give the damn pick away ....it's like a curse. Hopefully Maye has lifted the curse we will see but he has history going against him.
As much as people want to compare the competition that Petty faced in preseason regardless of the TD he got Hack looked just as lost against the backups and got his head taken off just like with the starters. Never happened with Petty. He was throwing check downs other than the one QB he made... congratulations.
You can't blame the Hack for any of this. It was McCagnan I don't advocate cutting Hackenberg any time soon. He's still very young and under team control for another 3 years. I just wouldn't play him this season because he's simply not ready.
We seem to love taking a defensive player in the 1st round and then following that up with a "raw" offensive prospect in the 2nd. Then that prospect becomes a bust. Vlad Ducasse, Steven Hill, Devin Smith, Geno Smith can probably speak to that.
Very very true, but it sounds like scouted him really well compared to the others. At least he's not being pressed into service already. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I wouldn't go that far. We don't need another human statute. Now a Chad Pennington I'd be happy to find.
You would think all the GM's that come in would notice that right away and try to correct it. Instead its rince/repeat and regurgitate. Hey Macc let's try something visonary next year. An offensive player in the first 3 round. Let's go crazy and go QB, RB, OL.
It was and thats why I'm a bit surprised with his inability to point out blitzes so far in the preseason. Now, when you're O-line doesn't help it doesn't put Hack in a position to succeed either. Regardless, Hack will still probably see the field this season, it's just a matter of whether he will be better when his name is called.
The Mehta article yesterday (wont link that idiot) said Macc drafted Hack early because he got spooked by Bill O'Brien and the Texans trading up just ahead of him. Must've figured he couldnt wait another round. The Texans took a center Nick Martin, not Hack obviously. Seems to me that the red flag Macc should have seen is Bill O'Brian passed on Hack, despite being as desperate for a QB as the Jets are.
O'Brien was far from a bust. He passed for over 25K yards, and was a pro bowler. He's not Marino, but who is? Let's not forget Todd Blackledge or Tony Eason. If he wasn't in the QB class of 83, no one would ever call him a bust. I watched him play. If he had one glaring fault, it was holding on to the ball too long and taking too many sacks. He never learned to throw the ball away.
With this O line Pennington wouldn't last a half. KB could sling it...and he was one tough sob. Not sure how good a fit he would be in a WCO...but look up some of his games. He had quite a few notable ones.
The bolded phrase is the only thing that makes sense to me. Just because O'Brien didn't trade up ahead of the Jets in the 2nd round, doesn't mean that he or the Patriots wouldn't have done it in the 3rd. Maybe the Texans' GM had Hack rated as a 3rd round pick and wasn't going to reach for him or any player. The Patriots were supposedly really high on Hack as well. I think there was another team that had shown a lot of interest in Hack also. I think Mac really liked Hack, and he panicked. It was his 2nd draft and for a QB for a team that hasn't had a decent QB in a decade, it's an understandable and forgivable faux pas.
