They should make this move. I don't really understand all the hate for Geno Smith. Not to mention we are getting him in the second round. What if the cards don't fall for us next year like everybody here believes they will, and we don't have the option to draft Bridgewater or Manziel? I would like this move.
I have to disagree with you there. It would only be wasting if we missed on both of those picks. I have no problem spending 2 picks on two QBs if one of them turned into a franchise QB. People can debate all night on this forum, but the truth is, no one really knows how these QBs will perform in the NFL until they step out there on Sunday. Is there a franchise QB still available in this round? Maybe. Our QB situation is so bad right now that I will definitely back a decision by Our GM if he thinks there is one available. And moving up 6 spots is a small price to pay to get one.
Please for love of god if we do take a quaterback take Geno and not Nassib or Barkley. Would rather stand pat and take Ertz or Allen but if Genos there whatever just not Nassib or Barkley please
I would take Geno over Murray. This guy has been safe with the football, consistent and accurate- all the while playing for a team that has an atrocious defense. I am curious. What are the serious flaws you see in Geno Smith's game?
Let's just the Jags snag him and that's that. It's not that I'm anti Geno (although I don't see his game translating well to the next level) but I'm not a fan of trading any picks to move up. You know we'll overpay as well... we always do.
The season won't be great no matter what they do or who they draft but with Ryan calling the defense again it will probably be just good enough not to have one of the top three picks..then what, tank another season and another season and another until you get the pick for the guy you want?
Yup, gotta love that. The Bills leak they're interested in Nassib or Barkley, then pick EJ. It leaks that we're interested in Austin and we really were interested in Austin. Doesn't someone on the Jets staff understand how this works?
If we take Geno in round 2 at 39...I am happy with it. But this means we owe an commitment to Smith, especially if he isn't the week 1 starter and is a project QB and thus we can't go and get a QB next year. Take Clowney is we're terrible, take M. Lee or whatever WR, take a OT if Austin Howard bombs, take a ILB if Davis/Harris sucks. Just no QB if we take Geno. Stick with a plan and ride it out no matter what. Panthers did this and took Clausen in round 2, set him up in a terrible position to not succeed and then took Newton with the 1st pick and Clausen/2nd round pick was a waste. Don't do this.
Good point. Although I read that less as an unintentional leak and more as a gambit to get someone, like STL, to trade up with us; under the assumption that the Bills would stay where they were and take a QB. Regardless, not keeping their mouths shut did cost them, you're right.
murray sucks. I don't want a QB that loves to buckle under the pressure. He will likely be a 3rd rounder next year anyway. The grass isn't always greener like that.
Jets Luck: 1. Trade up for and draft Geno 2. Geno experiences at least moderate success, Jets still suck 3. Jets pass on drafting a QB in '14 (or trade down) 4. Geno flames out, Teddy dominates.
Next year is always better... If we win 5 games next year like you say, you can cross Manziel and Bridgewater off that list. Then it comes down to Boyd and maybe McCarron... neither who seem like players you must wait for.
Sources say the Jets are trying to trade up for Mark Sanchez's replacement. Story ยป http://espn.go.com/newyork/?topId=9215061 So apparently they are thinking Geno Smith. Not really sure how I feel about this. I'm kinda hoping this is just a smoke screen and we rock with QB's we already got on the roster and wait for a better one next year
In our horrible history, with as many great QBs that have been drafted and missed by us one of the worst franchises in the NFL, why would you ever assume Terry Bridgewater would ever drop in our laps?
