    Michigan and Oregon might not be in the SEC, but they're not going up against pushovers every week.

    Not sure I'd say he's better than half the starters in the league but he's better than a good few for sure and definitely under valued. Could you win with him? I don't know, he's a better Fitzpatrick maybe - good years, bad years - and maybe not getting the slack to survive the bad ones. Not saying they are similar players by the way, just I see their careers following similar paths.

    Brook, you must love tanking. I for one have had enough of it and just want to win games. Tanking does not guarantee you will get a stud player either. Could be a total bust!!!

    He's thrown more than three times as interceptions as touchdowns for a passer rating in the mid 90s on the Jaguars. The team that Trevor Lawrence is playing terribly for. The guy's a franchise QB, and nobody appreciates him because he's a late round pick with a below average arm who looks weird. Imagine Fitz without the dumb turnovers. That's Minshew, and that's way better than a lot of guys teams are pinning their hopes on.

    I heard a quote that really stuck out for me: " this game is
    imo (and i've seen a few draft guys say this) but they are in a class of their own at edge rusher. Think they are clearly a cut above the other edge prospects... unless a QB needy team falls drastically in love with one of the QBs and trades up, these 2 are going 1 & 2 in April

    I wouldn’t call him a FQB because he hasn’t done it long enough or won enough games but I don’t see how he doesn’t have the Broncos, Browns, WFT, Panthers, Giants, etc. in better position to make the playoffs.

    Agreed. I am not sure what win over Jax will accomplish. Morale boost of winning 4 games instead of 3 for the year before losing next two games anyway? With 3 wins we probably land Hutchinson or Thibodeaux for next 10 years. Meaningless win again Jax and we lost out on the top tier talent and move to second tier, where a star player is not guaranteed.

    I watch very little college ball but I'm worried from the clips I've seen of Thibideoux + I've heard some analyst talk about how he's a bit raw I'm skill moves but physical freak. That just gives me PTSD. I want Hutch!

    for years the jets specialize in meaningless wins.

    I hope Zach Wilson out performs Trevor Lawrence but yet NYJ still finds a way to lose.

    Only because picking 1st overall compared to 4th overall could become an impact and gigantic difference; because Hutchinson looks like a FREAK OF NATURE pass rusher; and that's something we've lacked for damn near 20 years now.

    Also. Having the 1st overall pick of the 2nd round could be impactful as well.
