Would love to see the two Joe's, Douglas and Namath as the only guys in the room for that interview. Give Lawrence a look at the last great Jet QB and the GM who will be filling in the gaps around him during the rebuild.
To be fair, O’Brien and Pennington were not too bad. They had good careers. Todd and Sanchez were serviceable and had few good moments. Other than that Lucas played well couple of yrs, playing above talent level. But have to agree with the rest! No home grown talent. We have not done very well and all. Jets 1st or 2nd round QB picks: Namath - HOF - only super bowl Todd - serviceable - 1 championship game O’Brien - good career - several playoff games Nagle - complete bust Pennington - good career - several playoff games Sanchez - serviceable- 2 championship games Clemons - dud- backup Smith - dud - backup Hackenburg - complete bust Darnold - ? I can only imagine this list, if we would have drafted better, a few names we had chance to draft and were linked to with personnel folks here at the time... Marino Farve Manning - stayed in school Wilson That’s 4 HOF QBs... how different would be jets history? Lawrence. Will we even have him if we go 0-16? Sure hope so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Who's the last big time QB who announced at the beginning of his season that he was definitively declaring for the draft? I'm honestly asking, because I can't remember, and it feels like it's one of those things that never happens even though everyone knows they're gone. From my general memory, guys ALWAYS say stuff like Lawrence did until the season is over, and THEN they formally announce their intentions. tl;dr isn't this standard operating procedure for high profile NCAA players, especially QBs?
No one here wants him to stay in school. So lets say he comes out this year. But Jacksonville get him, and we get the top pick next year! Not THATs painful.
Get some fathead wall graphics of Mekhi up in whatever room that they meet in as well. Who wouldnt want that protecting their blindiside & only entering yr 2 in league?!
What hint? "My mindset has been that I'm going to move on," Lawrence said Tuesday. "But who knows? There's a lot of things that could happen." He says his mindset is to move on, he is only being sanguine with the latter part of the comment. He will be in the draft 100% bar injury.
I read this articles that the title is misleading bullshit. He didnt say anything of substance Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
You can't read these "news" headlines anymore and assume you will get actual reporting. The headline is absolute BS. I heard this actual interview. He was asked that he made it clear that this is last season, is there anything that would make you reconsider? He was like, wow, it's a tough one , I don't know (what would make him reconsider). There was no "hint" of staying in school. It was more like he didn't make final decision yet, but more than likely he is declaring. This is the same exact stance he had before. Literally nothing had changed except this BS headline. To summarize, yes, there is a small chance he might stay until he declares officially, but more than likely he is declaring.
He's been watching some Jet games recently to make that type of comment. We don't know for sure what he's exactly leaning towards but if he spent a few hours watching the product the Jets put out on the field, he has to be wondering wtf this abomination is all about. I would be questioning why Gase is still the HC after ruining a young QB and when 3 other teams fired theirs with better records. He's not stupid.
Yes. The reality is the #1 pick in the draft always goes to the worst team from the prior year. That's just how the draft system is set up. Would he really want to play another year, risk losing millions due to injury to avoid playing for the Jets? Sounds silly. What would prevent the Jets from having the #1 pick in 2022? And if not how would he prevent the Jets from obtaining that pick in a trade ? If the Jets have the first pick Lawrence will be the guy.....
I am sorry, but this is absolutely ridiculous. How do you even know what what he has been watching? He has his own season to focus on, and it is far from stupid to do so. He will end up going the shittiest team in NFL, be it Jets or someone else. That's what #1 picks do. He is not some FA who decides which team to pick up. He is the #1 overall pick, whose job is to go to the absolute worst NFL has to offer and hopefully make it better, that's NFL designed the system that way. As a smart guy, he knows it. If he is that good, he will get the worst.
Watching the video the impression I got was that he was saying who knows I’m not focusing on that I’m focusing on winning a championship. I think he is coming out no matter what.
He wouldn't have to return to school. He could just say that he wont report and demand a trade, which usually works.
How do you know that he's not been watching the Jets? He is THE #1 pick and he knows this. Don't you you think he has some curiosity as to what teams are in the running? Wouldn't you? No , sorry, he has options. He can stay in School, he can tell the Jets he won't play for them. He can hold out IF the Jets pick him. He's controlling his destiny. There are some very reliable sources noting this. Why would he say the things he just said? To get headlines? Nope' He's throwing some clues out there.

Or he could just be saying if the Jets keep Gase around and keep taking guys like Adams, Anderson, Bell and maybe Williams away he may have to reconsider entering the draft.
