    Broken back? Knee, hamstring, elbow, Achilles tendinitis and a concussion this year. Can't find anything on ribs.

    Upon further review... Scratch Mariota.

    Mariota has been extremely available this year. Joe Burrow has. Joe Burrow has more wins this year than Mariota has. Kind of case closed on your goofy argument.

    Justin Fields has been mostly available his entire career. Why not prefer him over Burrow too given the argument you’re making?

    Keep in mind to, due to Glenn being on the hot seat he will be willing to do something radical to get a QB.

    Hopefully the Jets can get Mendoza and find a trade partner but if they can't they could target names like Burrow or pry someone else from their team like Lamar or Stafford. The Jets have an arsenal of draft capital so they have the ability to make an offer a team can't refuse.

    Which is just another reason why Glenn has to go because the Jets should be drafting based on building rather than making moves due to overwhelming job pressure because of this awful display of football in 2025

    Miami is planning on moving away from Tua after the season. I mean if he’s released he’s a good option as any for stop gap. He could stabilize things here and of course he’d want to stick it to Miami.

    I don't know... That kid is one serious hit away from never walking or talking again. If the Dolphins release him, if he were smart, he'd take all those guaranteed millions, retire and take up basket weaving. Tua has skills for sure. He' stabilize the position for definite sure. How long he would be standing upright, debatable.

    I think it’s a little overstated with his concussion stuff because they looked ugly. And they def did. But this Giants QB is in the concussion tent … weekly.. and people aren’t saying the same things about him. That’s just one example

    Nah strong disagree man. Tua’s hands looked like they went into rigamortis multiple times on the field. His eyes rolled into his head and his hands went nuts. I’ve never seen that before and it’s happened to him multiple times.

    Dart needs to protect his dumbass but his body never rejected the hits like Tua’s did.

    Others may not say anything but, let me tell you, I'm not one of them. Dart takes a couple more of those shots he got a couple weeks back and he'll be eating out of a straw too.

    Sign a vet and draft Mateer. Don’t make a splash for a qb that won’t be someone else’s guy in a year

    Well, Fields just doesn't appear to be a long term answer and watchng him play QB is painful. Burrow probably has a few good years left. Mariota would be nothing more than a 1 year fill in very similar to what he's doing in DC. That's my goofy short term reasoning.

    I know I didn’t mean to sound so stand-off ish but everyone would take Burrow with the injury risk over Mariota man.

    Mariota would be a decent enough stop gap but I doubt he leaves Washington. They need a reliable backup there with Daniels playing QB at 160 pounds.
