"out of the top QBs again" is really not a concern. The Jets have 3 1sts next year, it kinda doesn't matter where they finish. Even if they want the top pick they have the ammo to get it its gonna be about identifying the right QB from the group, an entirely different and greater challenge, but they wont miss out on who they identify
The year Caleb, Daniel's and Maye went you could have had 3 firsts and none of them would have traded out.
@NOVAJET pretty much nailed it, if prospects are really good, no one will trade out. You just never know who is there with top picks, how much draft capital they want, other teams could sell out their future to jump ahead, etc... Also I can definitely see Glenn taking Simpson/whoever and then selling Woody on having a young QB and completely missing out on 2027 class. There are many variations what could happen, but unless you have a pick and a really good QB available with that pick, you cannot pass up on, nothing is guaranteed, even with 3 1sts.
This isn't correct at all. If there are 3 top QB prospects and of the top 5 teams, only 2 need a QB, that pick is getting traded every single time. Using the Caleb, Daniels, Maye year is a really bad example.
It's January 2026. Pretending like we know what the structure is going to be in April 2027 is a waste of time. And I was responding to the dude who acted like teams never trade out if prospects are good.
All I really remember about Frank Reich was that he was with the Jets as a QB for one year ('96). I only went to about 5 games total in the '96 & '97 seasons because both of my parents were ill. I guess Reich left such a lasting impression that I'm not sure if that's good or bad . . . meaning he didn't leave that much of a lasting impression.
Look, my point was that you can't always trade up, it's not always an option no matter how many picks you have. You are saying that is untrue?
For the second time, I was replying to the guy who said no one will trade out if the prospects are good. I never disagreed with you that you'll be able to trade up no matter what.
Oh my bad, he agreed with my stance in that post so when you came back and said that wasn't true I just assumed you did not agree with my stance but now thanks for clarifying.
He is the same Frank Reich who engineered the largest comeback in NFL history (subbing for an injured Jim Kelly) when he led the Bills back from a 35-3 third quarter deficit to beat the Oilers in the '92 season playoffs. That record stood for 30 years until Minny came back from 33 down in a regular season game against the Colts a few years ago. Reich definitely left an impression on me, and many, with that one great footnote in league history.
it was a dark dark season. The 1-15 year. From my personal recollection I feel like Reich wasn't that bad but I also hated Neil O'Donnell at the time so maybe he was just the anti-O'Donnell
I'm not hearing/reading many good things about him but I don't think it's a bad hire. He's a ex-NFL QB that alone should help him coach up the young quarterback(s) the Jets draft IF they go that route. That he also bring NFL HC & coordinator experience is a bonus. That he wants to be here is a big bonus too. I'm not afraid. I think what we had this past season was rock bottom there's only one way to go after that.
"Neil O'Donnell was like a stiff puppet in the pocket." - Keyshawn Johnson Say what you like about Keymouth, but that is some funny shit. How do I remember that exact quote? I had a sharp memory before my coma in 2003, but one of the great (and other not so great) lasting side effects is that I remember minutae and oddities. The Jets are an oddity, alright.
I know (as far as the Bills go). I was being mildly facetious and talking mostly about his stint here. I think he started 7 or 8 games, but I had so much going on in those 2 years that they're a bit of a blur in some respects. That's saying a lot for someone who pretty much for remembers everything. It can actually be a little bit of a curse sometimes.
was that from his NY Times Bestseller Just Give Me the DAMN Ball ? in retrospect taking the time to write an entire book of complaints is much more impressive than today's athlete who typically shares a series of passive aggressive tweets or "unfollows" on instagram
