Broken back? Knee, hamstring, elbow, Achilles tendinitis and a concussion this year. Can't find anything on ribs.
cracked vertabrae in 2018 season https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...nnessee-titans-rest-not-surgery-needed-injury
Hmmm... Still can't find anything on a cracked vertabrae for Mariota. 2018 is a long time ago anyway. If we're talking placeholder, why not Mariota? If we're talking long term? Burrow.
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.
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.
Last Qb Jets hit on was Chad Pennington, same year Woody bought the team, ever since than we had 25 different quarterbacks be starters at one point or another(probally the most in that 25 year period), its safe to say Woody doesn't know how to hire the right people to pick/develop quarterbacks, chances are whoever will be the 2026 quarterback it will be no different. Good franchises have one quarterback for 20 years, we seem to average 1 every year.
Yeah, and even Chad, weak armed and injury prone. But he did have some success. The bar is just so low. The FQB was Namath and that's about it. A few years of O'Brian, a few years of Chad, Vinny... It's basically a shit burger with some slightly better flavors on occasion after Broadway Joe.
I NEED you people to understand something about the NY jets and this top pick in the draft all of you so covet. I went and did some digging. Moore, obviously, but Mendoza as well...BOTH have college eligibility left. BOTH can make a crap ton of scratch in college. Do you really believe that one or both WOULDN'T stay in school if they somehow knew the NY Jets were going to have the 1st pick in the draft? If I were either kid's father and actually gave a shit about my kid, I would tell BOTH of them to stay in school. Not even fucking kidding with this one. I tested my theory last night. I called up a buddy who has a kid who is a VERY VERY good high school QB and asked him. He told me, unequivocally, if his kid was a top shelf college QB, which he might be one day, and the Jets held the #1 pick what would he do? He actually belly laughed, which was kind of humiliating, but he did. He laughed HARD. To quote him, he said, "there was no way on God's green earth he would EVERY let his kid get drafted by the NY Jets if he could help it." He said that is something that gets discussed quite frequently among the top talent in the country. NO ONE want to come to this shit hole, if they can help it. If YOU had a kid and the choice was stay in school and make a cool $2 or 3 million or get drafted 1st overall to a team you knew was going to either destroy your kid's professional career or, just as bad, derail it for 5 to 10 years, would you actually let your kid go to this team? I fucking know I wouldn't. So, I guess, if I have ANYTHING to be thankful for, it's the fact that the Jets are not drafting at #1 and I certainly HOPE they do not. They "might" get lucky and have one of the QB's fall to them so they can begin ruining their careers.
Big risk going back to school for 4 million when you can be a top pick and get a 40mill contract. No guarantee the Jets don't pick 1st again in 27' or the kid breaks a leg, big time risky which is why I believe Mendoza and Moore come out if they are expected to go top 3.
Only three QB’s in league history have pulled similar shenanigans and two of them are Manning’s. Sorry, but this just doesn’t happen. Top QB’s understand they’re usually going to a garbage situation. It almost never stops them.
