Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold or a different QB?

I will back this post. We are betting everything on one year as we will need to start over next year with a pick & that will take more years to develop him. Did yiu hear that gram. .......did you hear that gram. I forget he does not get his hearing aids in until 12
I heard that ! ! Big Moe got to you didn't he. Well.........as it happens I agree too. I've given it some thought, which doesn't mean I've figured it out. I have looked at the various QB rankings and most of them have Rogers at middle of the pack, but improving as he plays. I had figured before the season started that Rogers didn't need to be the Rogers of the past. I figured that with our top 5 defense and a decent "O" line he only needed to be average to win a lot of games. The "O" line has struggled but is actually getting better. The problem REALLY IS that our top 5 defense has shit the bed and become a bottom 5 defense. If the defense was playing as well as it did last season the Jets would have won several more games than they have including this last one. The defense CLEARLY lost this game. SO...............I'm of the mindset that Rogers should be given another year with him mentoring Travis and keeping Taylor who is still under contract for 2025. I see no vets that will be available that I trust more than Rogers, not even Darnold who has played well over all behind an excellent "O" line but has been erratic. Geno Smith has played well but he has also made it clear that he will never play for the Jets again. We are not going to get a better QB than Travis in the draft. Just a gut feeling. Sorry for the long post Big Moe. You can read it a little at a time. :D

:rofl2:At the bigmoe comment
other than that I agree. Except that-

as we all know, none of this matters as the curse is too strong. The defense sucks because the offense was a little better and if the defense improves than the offense will decline. It’s the Jets way. Opposite of the old patriots way. Totally opposite

I think this year was a redshirt year. Not sure how many reps he got. Next year he should be QB3 and practicing with the team more. Still should take a QB this next draft.
I'm not sure why you want to take a QB in a season of poor availability. Assuming he is fit, we have a young QB (are you still a rookie if you spend the season on PUP?) who finished fifth in Heisman voting despite not finishing the season, and whose absence was sufficient to have Florida State excluded from the playoffs despite their winning season. Who are we drafting outside of Ward or Sanders who is a better prospect?

I believe you should take a QB every year if possible. They've never hit on a QB except maybe Pennington. I'm definitely not counting on a QB coming off a catastrophic injury. It would be ideal if Travis was the future, but it never hurts to try to have two. Wouldn't that be a hell of a problem for the Jets?

I was hoping for more out of Travis by now but I was hoping they drafted Him because HE was a steal where they got him. I am for seeing what they have in him but due to no news on him it's hard to think they see him as part of the future going forward.

I've seen him play only a couple of times. In those games he appeared to be absolutely great from a protected pocket, but if the pocket collapses not so much. He's not as accurate when scrambling. Jets QBs fare much better if they can be efficient on the run because they usually are. Also, he's 24 years old so they will take that into consideration at draft time. I would expect him to go mid to late rounds and if the Jets could get him there and our new coaching staff can work with him I'd say he is worth considering. I don't see the Jets taking a QB early in the draft.

If you mean our need positions are filled first if possible then I absolutely agree. You sometimes discover that the rock you picked up is a gem.

Still not seeing how this works. QB1 is Rodgers/Veteran Pickup. QB2 is Tyrod. QB3 as per Tebow is Travis. Unless we carry three QBs on the main squad, Travis can just be signed from our PS by any other team. So where does Kurtis Rourke fit in, are we going to have two QBs on the PS? Or is he the PS guy once Travis has been filched?

You're seeing the same picture I'm seeing, I think. The Jets drafting a QB would almost certainly be bad news for Travis who I suspect is being kept on the injured list just to keep him from being poached. So they would have to cut one of them after training camp. Cutting Tyrod to keep a rookie as #2 would be foolhardy. Talk about a sticky situation,...........that would be one the reporters would love.

Let's cross that imaginary QB abundance bridge when we come to it.

Rex wants it
I’m reading tons of fans want him back
I’d like it
I just don’t see it happening
Tannebaum being very sketchy about Rex
Rex might be the only 'name' candidate who would be prepared to have Rodgers foisted on him, if only because he doesn't care about the offense. Mind you we would have to accept our #1 pick going on defense.

Still like Rex and his boisterous personality.
I just don’t see woody going back to him and the news leaking out doesn’t point to him
Oh well
