You think a Superbowl win in year 3 or 4 at 30m+ a season for the QB is not a good investment? I'd sell my wife off to the slave traders for a Jet Superbowl win and Man City to win the Prem and Champs league double. She is at work so she won't see this post btw
Not sure about taking a QB at #2. My point was that if we trade away our PREMIUM draft pics for Watson, we'll have a much harder time team building with our non-premium picks. Although the job will be less huge if we have Watson, so there's that too.
The thing is we were all happy to do it this way, it would have been easier with the #1 and TL, no doubt about that but and the big but is absolutely nobody would have dreamed that the very QB that the Jets have been searching 20+ years for 'may' ask for a trade. That is it, we are not all cunts who have jumped ship from a rebuild, it's blatantly obvious that drafting Watson will still leave plenty of solid picks to continue on this path and with our cap, some solid FA's on the younger end of their careers, so we are not hamstringing ourselves in 2 years time. You said it yourself, he is a STUD QB, now what if this guy goes to the Dolphins? People are still whining about Marino 37 years after he was drafted. THIRTY-SEVEN ffs, hell, the man has been retired 20 years. It is like a double-edged sword take him or let him go to Miami and he fucks us all ends up for 10 years or more, he would be pretty much be one of the last pieces of their Superbowl puzzle for sure. Without Watson in the mix, I would probably favour trading out of #2 and picking up a QB later in round 1 or early 2, depending who is available, if that meant Sam coming back or maybe Bleathard to let the rookie learn instead of dropping him right in the deep end, all the better for me. Watson is ideal but all depends on what they ask for, 4 #1's and I am not interested, our #2 could bring us a haul of picks as it is.
The other thing to think of is... What if some of these guys were actually talented but just extremely badly coached, which on paper we have just fixed, you did see all those ex Jet scrubs in the playoff picture this year right? None of them bar Adams caused any of us to weep at their leaving the Jets but there they were playing playoff football.
At least she's trying to acquire capital to improve the house when you're gone. She will probably get some very nice bath mats for that 7th round pick.
Getting Deshaun would be a game changer. Trade the number 2 pick for him and it is a win. He instantly makes your 0-line better you draft of bring in another WR and this team competes on offense alone.
If we are going to build the team with our draft picks we need to address the area of most concern and of most importance. That's QB, my friend. We can't move forward with Darnold. He awful. Unless you want to try and Sanchez your way to the superbowl, we need to upgrade that position in the worst way and using a premium pick this year is the way to do it. I still believe you could trade for Watson, restructure his contract and still have enough drafts picks left to build around him. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
So I guess the one side to the argument is that you pretty much have to draft a QB and have them mature into a very good QB before their rookie contract runs out. And during that time is your chance to win a superbowl. If that's the case then we have to win in 2021 with Sam and we all know that isn't happening. So I would imagine that all of the people supporting the argument that you can't have an expensive QB and win will want to draft a QB this year and build the team so that we can win a SB before his rookie contract is up.

I believe we need to be cap cautious but also agressive if an occasion to significantly improve arrise. And this occasion is one in a lifetime. In the case of Watson, he would significantly improve our passing game this is unprecedent to have a premium player at the most important position in his prime available AND he wants to be a Jets AND the Jets have insane draft capital in the bank already AND we have more than enough cap space to fit him in AND we are not locked to a big undroppable contract at the QB position. You have to be a player!
I don't think we'll get Watson, this seems like faux-discontentment so that someone from the Texans reaches out and caves into his demands. I do think we'll get Allen Robinson.
it's not gonna balloon back either. from what I read it's better then expected and expected to be in the 175-180 mil range. still a huge drop from what it was expected to be pre covid. Sure they would but doesn't mean they would win a SB with him I take that back. he was but he was also very cheap at the time. he was only making 10.5 mil a year at the time. it wasn't until 2014 when he started getting paid big money have you ever heard the term opportunity cost? this year he is cheap yes, it's 2022 when it kicks in. but the signing bonus is meaningless. they way they structured his contract is it's all salary. the bonus was only like 22 mil
but remember I was City from 1977 and Jets 83 onwards, the City success is only because mu own soul went right before we got bought by the rich geezers
