I agree that the Jets should do their due diligence on Cousins, just as they should with any quality player. That said, I hope they don't sign him. With regards to the bolded, I think you mean without either Cousins or drafting a QB high, and if Mac winds up the offseason without adding a QB other than McCown, he should be fired. If so, then I totally agree with that. I also agree, that the draft is where he should look to get his QB, and that either at #6 or trading up to #3 or #4.
I totally agree. I don't think Rosen has the "right" attitude. I think his is just rebelliousness. Mayfield's is a leader and competitor. Rosen's thin frame and concussions scare me as much as Allen's inaccuracy does. IMO Mayfield is the best in the draft at extending plays and creating, and Darnold's not even close.
FWIW... http://walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2018rumors3.php The New York Jets are one of the teams that will figure heavily into the quarterback discussion. Earlier this week, we reported how the Jets plan on being active in free agency. Jets sources indicate that the quarterback need is more likely to be filled in the draft. Sources with the New York are being very tight-lipped on their thoughts about the first-round quarterbacks. That being said, after speaking with top evaluators at the team, my gut feeling is telling me that Wyoming's Josh Allen is their favorite among the quarterback prospects. General manager Mike Maccagnan has preferred big quarterbacks, and Allen certainly fits that description. New York also has ammo to move up for the quarterback they want with two second-round picks and four total selections in top 72. Two years ago, speaking to sources at the Jets and reading their reactions led to me nailing them taking Christian Hackenberg in the 2016 NFL Draft. Last year, I listened to them, and that led me having them pass on Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. While it is still early in the process, right now I feel that Allen seems to be the Jets' guy.
I will support and get behind Allen if they drafted him but I really prefer other players. Think if they take Allen, McCown is week 1 starter. Edit: I can see it on his face, Allen doesn’t believe he should be in the company of the elite yet. He has this unsettled look all the time. ‘Mirin Mayfield
From Allen interview at Senior Bowl: How do you think you would fare in a big-city environment like New York? "I've never been in that environment, so I wouldn't know. I've never been to New York but I understand the media is a little crazier there than in most places. I'm there to play football, so if I'm fortunate enough to be in one of those cities, I'm there to play football first. There's a lot of pressure that comes with being an NFL quarterback wherever you're at, and I'm ready to tackle any situation that's in front of me. I'm going to embrace any team that I go to. They're sticking their neck out on a limb, so whatever team takes me will be getting everything I have."

Small town kid. Never been to a big city.
Huge plus for Allen: Talk about your experience of playing in the Wyoming weather. "I embraced it. I actually like throwing in the cold, because, for some reason, it makes my hand grip better to the ball. We played in a lot of conditions - snow, rain, sideways rain - and it was the best thing for me. I was able to experience a different type of climate and atmosphere instead of just throwing in 75 degrees day in and out, so it's definitely going to help me in the long run."

I don't buy what Walter Football says too much, they said Darnold and Jackson would return to school.
Hypotheticals at best. He wasn't going to stay in school. No one, whose stock was high, will make such a decision ever again after Matt Barkley. Even when he did struggle, I bet his stock didn't take much of a hit.
meh,florham park is really the big city? i mean the city is close enough for those who want it but its not like he is forced to take residence in Manhattan.
Considering I live 2 blocks from the facility, I think I’m okay to comment. This area in Morris County is excellent. Great food. Lots of things to do. Safe. Acclimating here is not the issue. The media will be the issue. Does he have think enough skin and strong resolve to not let it destroy him?
Its been my biggest fear this entire draft process. Here we go taking the big bodied, big armed guy with "potential" instead of a football player that has proven he produce over a good deal of tape.
I know all the focus is on QB but for a later round pick, 4th-5th round, I wouldn't mind the Jets picking up Berrios. I watched a lot of The U this year and he is always making plays. Sure handed slot receiver who can also return punts. Didn't get to show much in the Senior Bowl but he flashed what he has on one of his punt returns.
