A healthy Sam Bradford at the top of his game is a top 15 QB in the league. I'm really doubting St. Louis lets go of him as soon as next year.
I think we are going to suck for a while (probably forever but you never know for certain), I would rather use the next draft to address the O Line and then look at QB the next year.
When the wheels fall all the way off, that is when the Jets will pick up Brady. You can mark it down. This team is infamous for signing star players immediately after the last of their productive years.
Who knows what he'll think of next years new look and feel shit show. Not that we need him to be the vet, I think we need a capable vet regardless of what the name is.
I'd take Matt Moore over all of those guys except Cousins. To me the Jets should have done this last year and the signing of Garrard was a joke. The guy wasn't physically capable of playing. If you want to kill Idzik you can get him for that one. But this year instead he went out and spent significant money for a backup Qb in Mike Vick. The jury isn't out on Mike, you can't adequately judge him on one half in a game when the team is getting killed.
Kyle Orton would have been an upgrade over this crap sandwich. Luckily for Bills fans, they have a HC with less-than-entirely-shrunken cajones and enough vision to see that the early-round QB his GM drafted sucks ass and that a change had to be made.
Don't know that Orton was available when the Jets were looking for a backup to Geno. I'm afraid he's going to help turn that Bills team around and pointed in the right direction.
From what I heard the Bills won inspite of Orton. He was ok not great. He didn't lose the game for them. He was not available because he was the backup for the Cowboys the past couple of years.
No, they largely won because of him. He threw a nasty pick six in the first quarter that would have doomed many teams going against the # 1 rated D. He hadn't played except once in the last year or so. He got a lot better as the game wore on apparently. Looking at the stat lines he went 12/15 for 140 and 1 TD in the fourth quarter. The guy is a salty, savvy vet with a FU attitude. With the weapons they've got I think he may do well there.
Even if this was true (I'm highly skeptical that it is), the guy is never healthy. Durability counts.
I suggested back before the Jets got Vick that they should contact the Cowboys and see what they would want for Orton. Eventually he left them, anyway, and i acknowledge he ended up on the Bills after Vick had already been signed by the Jets. My point about Orton was in comparison to Vick Orton does not have the history of injury, and is also 3 years younger. OF COURSE Orton has not had the career Vick has, but right now he would have been the better addition to the Jets. All that is water under the bridge as far as Orton himself is concerned. But it is an example of how the FO has had somethings they could have looked into and apparently did not.
I didn't see the game just going by reports. But if the case and he threw the pick 6 but then improved. Well Vick didn't turn over the ball and he was as rusty if not more than Orton. And he did begin to move the offense later in the 4th quarter even though SD wasn't playing their regular D schemes.
I've watched the guy's demeanor since this season began. He's spent him time on the sidelines looking like a puppy that just got kicked in the face. No pun intended.
