Right now, it's all on him. It's potential. He has one season to show he can stay healthy and play at a high level.

He can be in the weight room all the time. He just needs someone to keep pushing him in the weight room.

I understand what the Jets did with Becton but I would have preferred if they did what the packers did with Jordan Love . It could get expensive trying to re-sign him if he has an outstanding 2023

His 5th year option is declined due to injury. The Jets have Becton for another 3 years if they so choose to keep him. The decline has more to do with Becton not being able to stay on the field rather than wanting to part ways with him.

One day, like a refreshing northern wind breaking a month-long heat wave, the Jets will be free of laggards like Becton, Mims, and a few others.

becton's lack of self awareness (going into year 4 mind you) is ****ing breathtaking..

it's almost impressive....in a "dumb as a bag of rocks" kind of way..

looking foward to not having to count on him, ASAP..
Dumb as a pence post. He'll be gone soon. Another of the myriad awful draft picks in our history.

I see his post as the complete opposite. He has had horrible luck with injuries (yes maybe assisted by his weight) but, when healthy he is an absolute beast. It might be his confidence in his abilities. Stating I am back! Beat me if you can.
Saleh pretty much backed this up. Go take the spot is basically what he said. I hope he does.

Too bad Becton's football IQ is low. You don't have to be a Genius to play this game. Just look at Gronk.

in fairness his rookie season i thought he looked like a vet for the most part.. i was all in..

then lawson is stealing his lunch money on the daily in training camp year 2.. then the packers DLine had their way in the joint practices.. then his right knee blows up 2 years running..

& here we are..

Where do you get that his football IQ is low? Have never heard that. Not once. I get you might not like him but let’s keep it in reality.

Well maybe you should learn to keep up.
It's been mentioned almost in every post in this thread that Becton is not academically inclined. True or not, it is part of the discussion.

As for "not liking Him". Please. The Guy is not up for the job. All I care about. Do you seriously think treating this guy with "Kid Gloves" is still the way to go? Didn't work. He got complacent, He got lazy, and he got fat. Let's see how tough love works because wiping His Butt and telling Him He's special didn’t.

He got lazy,complacent, and fat. Relied too much on his talent too come back and got hurt.
Hopefully this Kid has learned talent isn't enough. Hard Work goes hand and hand with it for sustained success. I hope so because HE is an awesome talent that the Jets sorely need to succeed.

You
You might want to learn some comprehension as I “keep up.” I did go back and read. Did you? The only mentions of his intelligence are after his I am a left tackle post. I don’t take that as a lack of intelligence. I take that as confidence.
You keep making stuff up to stay with your narrative and I will keep calling you out for it. Block me if you don’t like it. ✌️

Wow. Touched a nerve eh? Well obviously you and I have different perspectives.
What was made up? Point it out.
Are you saying what I posted triggered you?
Do you need a safe space and your pacifier?
How about a nice "Attaboy Trophy" to go with those 8th place ribbons on your wall?
Anything I can do to contribute to whatever foundation represents the disorder you suffer from please let me know. ✌️

The kid has a ton of talent. The kid eats too much. The kids lower body structure is a problem if he is too large. All we can do is hope for the best at this point. We need him to play well and become a starter.
