    Go ahead and bold him and make the letters bigger...

    Sure you want him here ..no problem

    Here is some reality: There are other teams to go to for him...HE may not WANT to come here..

    The WRs are way better than you are giving them credit for. Kearse Enunwa and Robbie with a top 10 qb is a pretty damn good starting point. The OL is trash but look what the rams did ? They added one guy in Whiteorth and it changed the entire line. Not saying to go out and spend big on an OT but OL can be addressed in the draft or in FA. The jets have a controllable round D who hopefully will take a step forward with two young safeties. They are on the up. They were projected to go winless and won 5 games with the opportunity to win more. Couple those things with the massive amount of Cap space landing KC isn’t too far fetched. In addition, why would he want to stay in the NFC? Especially in the NFC east, where he probably won’t sniff a division title with Wentz and Dak there. In 2-3 years KC would be the best QB in the AFC with a chance to make multiple playoff runs.

    If you want to throw shade at me for being 27 then at least @ me in Your post.

    I have posted numerous examples of why we should sign KC and your best reason of not wanting to sign him was because he could get hurt and how that is a bigger risk than drafting a young qb. That’s LOL Funny.

    Good post DA, why Robbie is still being doubted is beyond my comprehension.

    If he had a better QB from his first year he would have put up good numbers. Kearse is a good veteran that can produce and mentor, Enunwa is coming back and now has no pressure to be a number 1 receiver.

    The only thing I disagree with is this surprise that Jets won 5 games as if they were not good enough. That was a media urban legend, anyone who had watched this team and the young players they had knew they were not going to go winless.

    I also believe Cousins will stay in Washington because of family or end up in Denver.

    I'm not saying he's anti Jet, just looking at what a reasonable person might do all things being equal.

    The thing about Cousins landing somewhere else is this:

    Denver - how much can they actually offer him? They have money tied up in Talib, chris Harris JR, von Miller, both WRs, Brock Osweiler, and they just paid CJ Anderson. I’m sure Derek Wolfe is going to need a new contract soon. I just think if we wanted cousins and it came down to money we could blow their offer out of the water. I think Denver would be better off going for Teddy For 10 a year or even Alex Smith.

    Jags - they are about 30m under right now and could offer him a legit contract but their D is so good they could play it safe and just go for someone like Tyrod who doesn’t turn the ball over.

    We can offer the most money and have an up and coming defense. That’s why i think he will land here. If we go after him and we don’t get him because he declines, so be it. But they need to make him priority #1 IMO

    Pretty much this. I'm not sold on cousins, a big no on Smith. Mccown will win ya some games and lose ya some games. It's a pretty shitty situation to be in, frankly. Had they lost enough games to be in the top 5 in the draft, the decision would be a little easier. The second tier qbs in the draft aren't really what they need either. They've spent decades with lower tier drafting and ended up with squat. I have little to no faith this regime can navigate the draft and get a good qb

    So wouldn’t that mean you want a proven commodity in Cousins? Two different journeymen QBs have had career years under Bowles. No reason Cousins can’t flourish either.

    I'm not totally discounting cousins, there's just something about him that doesn't sit well with me. His demeanor or something. I smell a loser in hiding. I could be wrong.

    Understandable. That feeling you have about him is the same feeling the Redskins have about him or else they would have inked him 2 years ago.

    Thats exactly why I feel that way. His stats are excellent, so what gives? Why wouldn't they just lock him up and call it a day?
    In the flip side, he could be better than any qb we've ever had. Just an odd situation.

    amazing, how you continue to throw shade at posters like this didn't you learn your lesson the first time? I mean, you are the one comparing this acquisition to a 40 yr old Brett Favre ...

    I just think they truly botched the entire thing and then KC said screw you and bet on himself to make more money. Snyder isn't known for being the brightest guy when getting involved in player contracts or player situations for that matter. Look at Haynesworth or the RG3 situation. Shanahan wanted nothing to do with RG3 but Snyder did everything possible to make sure he was a Redskin and then Mike Shanahan went and took KC in round 3 the same year they drafted RG3.

    The answer is the Redskins are morons and are run even worse as a franchise than the Jets. Hard to do but they find a way. He was drafted in the 4th Round in 2012. 3 rounds after the Skins took RGIII. Obviously he busted and Cousins played pretty well since. They have to pay him like a Top 3 QB to keep him, they think of him as more of a Top 10 QB. That is true, but you have to overpay to keep QB's. Look at the Lions with Stafford. In the end, Cousins is no Peyton Manning, but he is a really solid starting QB. Something the Jets have not had since Chad Pennington.

    They've played that situation perfectly don't get any credit at all for doing so.

    THEY drafted him for goodness sake!!! WHY wouldn't they want Cousins to be THE guy?

    They could've gone bat**** stupid like the Raiders & Lions paid a middle of the pack QB $25-$27 million PER YEAR on a long term contract then what? Miss the playoffs just like those two teams.

    How much would it suck if we end up signing Cousins for $30 million per year then watch Washington steal Andrew Luck for a first round pick?

    NO EXCUSES, MACAGNAN!!!!

    There are 1,000s of EXCUSES for why Andrew Luck can't be in green & white. Make it happen if Indy doesn't want him some GM out there WILL make it happen.

    I mean they paid him $20 million in 2016 and $24 million in 2017. Now set to pay him $32 million or let him walk, not exactly playing it perfectly.

    You get what you get in the NFL. There is only 1 Aaron Rodgers, 1 Tom Brady, etc. Most QB's are not elite. You have to pay them like they are though to keep them. The Redskins, similar to the Jets, have not had a good QB in a long time. Cousins is one. They should have extended him by now. He might be middle of the pack, but again that is better than the Jets have had or the Redskins have had.

    As for Andrew Luck, yeah I would take a chance if the Colts don't want him. That is an interesting situation too.

    Snyder is the answer to that question. He's the skins biggest problem. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they know after numerous seasons what cousins is. Again, I could be wrong about him, bit something just sits ill

    Assuming the Jets lose to my beloved Patriots today and they should for their own good, the game that really matters may be the Broncos and Chiefs game which could be a total tank game by both sides.

    The Chiefs may rest their players for the playoffs while the Broncos might want to lose to get the 3rd QB of the draft. The prize the Broncos might be looking to get is Josh Allen from Wyoming. He is not the best QB of the draft today but he definitely has the highest NFL potential. He is not ready today as a NFL QB, but could develop into a franchise QB with his size, arm, and athleticism. He can throw it deep in and out of the pocket He has trouble going through his progressions, throwing short passes, and tends to sometime have happy feet in the pocket causing him to leave the pocket prematurely. Ok he is not perfect but he would be a vast improvement over Petty and Hack. My only fear is come draft day his stock will climb making him the 2nd QB pick. If some of you think there is a better choice I am all ears. Keep in mind I assume Rosen and Darnold to be picked before him.

    But what if Jets can't get the 3rd QB, wo should be next? This goes against my usual tendencies of avoiding Michael Vick like QBs, but what the heck why not Lamar Jackson. He is very allusive and if he could beef up could be another great prospect. He definitely had a good season and he is definitely not a boring player. I am just not sure if he will be another Robert Griffin III.

    I think the Jet Players love Josh MCGown and that's who is a coming back ahahahah

    Take note guys ..the whole theme of this Extention for Mac and Bowles was "headed in the right direction" and the Jets "have clearly outperformed expectations with 5 wins"...Toilet Bowles did NOT make that happen..it was Joshy all the way!

    Morton wants him too...

    Prediction: We go all out and the mortgage the future to get within the top 3..QBs ..we snag Rosen or Allen by hook or by crook..(Mayfield if all else fails). McGown in place to tutor new kid

    So don't waste your time with Cousins Luck or Bridgewater pipe dreams..you will be sorely disappointed
