    An aside: Obviously things have changed a lot from years past with these potential QB's staying in school due to the NIL money. Can you imagine? Being that rich and famous already, on one of these beautiful college campuses? I'm talking female attention here. Some of these guys should stay in school until they're ready to get married. 28 minimum. Oh my am I jealous.

    Reality translation - Moore for all intents and purposes is Zach Wilson the moment you hand him over to this current Jets coaching staff. Bet your kid's college fund on that too.

    The coaching market is filling up with interesting offensive minded options. It's not too late to change that...but we are still stuck in the annual "save us superhero QB!" mindset.

    Moore is a killer prospect. He had his first great season, but he was a 5 star recruit and was always projected for greatness, he’s just a year ahead of schedule. He may not declare though I think he will. He transfered to Oregon knowing he’d have to sit behind Gabriel, and did so anyway knowing he’d have some of the best tutelage. I respect that alot. Whoever drafts him needs the proper coaches in place and they need to be patient in letting him develop.

    Hey chief. I am not a college football fan so my question comes from a place of curiosity than hostility. In terms of College QB's, what is your track record? Which good ones did you identify that turned out good and which ones turned bad? Also any QB you thought would be trash turned out to be good? :)

    I do think Moore and Wilson resemble each other in some ways with their skill set coming into the draft so the comp there isn't terrible at all.

    But the difference is that I believe Moore is better between the ears than Wilson. He appears to be a harder worker and a smarter person. And that's important because Wilson could've been a better QB if he worked harder and was a little smarter

    Ty Simpson is entering the draft. There's an interesting surprise

    What’s even more interesting is his father - a football coach - claims every NFL GM who was “contacted” has a first round grade on him.

    He will absolutely go 1st round, hell by the time the draft comes he's probably top 10 with the way these things go.

    QBs are always first priority and in a draft like this you are most likely right. I’m going to say he will be drafted in the teens….

    Ty Simpson will not go in the 1st round and if anyone did make that move they would be fired in 2/3 years

    I'd draft Garrett Nussmeier before Ty Simpson, and I'm talking round 3

    both small, but not particularly athletic, both with average arms but Nuss is better at anticipation and more tested/proven

    Definitely don't disagree but don't think that stupid team won't be ours if Moore doesn't come out. If he does it's Moore at 2, don't agree with that either but being realistic, just how it works in our situation.

    Moore didn’t play against the cupcakes of the Sun Belt and Mountain West in either of his two years starting like Wilson did.

    Ty Simpson goes 1st round 100%. Not saying he should but he will. Also, Nussmeier shit the bed this year with the #1 portal class at LSU. Not saying I wouldn't draft him, but would rather spend a late round flier on Pavia.

    Nuss disappointed for sure. I dont love him obviously, I said hes my choice in round 3, but I like him more than Simpson. Simpson also shit the bed at times and Bama has elite wideouts

    I think both players will be injured a lot in the NFL

    After the hype machine does it's thing in the lead up to the draft I would strongly assume we are looking at a draft board that has a QB going 1/2/3 (like us Arizona has basically backed themselves into a having to draft the best available QB corner).

    With whether or not a guy like Simpson should technically be going that high getting lost in the surrounding positional NEED bubble.

    It's looking like Moore will be our franchise quarterback. He's not turning down pick 1 or 2 money when it's questionable that he would get that in 2027. So the question becomes: who is a sufficiently skilled and experienced qb coach to develop Moore's obvious talent? I wondering whether Brian Daboll would work as a Senior Offensive Assistant/QB coach. He stunk as a head coach, but he had good notices in working with Josh Allen, Dart, and others, and he's worked for the Jets before and is familiar with the NY metro area.

    I would love it if they brought Daboll in as assistant head coach/QB coach so he can take over week 7 when Glenn is gone as the interim.

    Yeah, Daboll had a poor record as the Giants' head coach, but I don't think his performance was ever as incompetent as Glenn's first year, and he didn't hire a RB coach to work with a QB who severely needed development.
