Wow, Cimini actually praises the Jets move

Shocking!

And as an added plus, he tells us his league sources are telling him the Jets love three QB's in this draft, thats why they were content to trade up to 3, and the three QB's he's hearing that Mac loves are (drum roll please) ... Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Josh Allen ... of course he could be wrong, but his sources are telling him those are their three guys, and Mac has all three ahead of Mayfield.

God I hope he’s right.

Those are the 3 I’d take. Obviously Allen as the 3rd option.

I'm surprised to see this done now and not just agreed in concept - subject to execution on draft day

But, maybe you get the pick for less now than if you wait to be sure the guy you want is there - and you avoid risk of being overbid......

hefty price - this is pushing the chips into the table

and note - this trade is GREATLY helped by what they did in free agency - they addressed gaping needs so they can give up the 2nd round picks that otherwise would have been essential to fill those holes

Not the way we have used 2nd Rd picks in the past.

If they pick Allen after all that, I will hurl.
They probably could have him at #6.
And he's not even that good.
Hack part deux.
Later

Allen’s stock was rising after team’s watched his combine performance. His deep ball accuracy had teams salivating. Rapoport was saying the other day that there are teams who view him as the best QB in this draft.

No guts, no glory. I’m tired of sitting back and waiting for shit to happen. We gave up a lot to get to 3, and need to risk it on a QB of this potential.

Giants GM Dave Gettleman: “Hello, Dave here?”

Mike Maccagnan: “Hey Dave. How are the kids? Listen, I’m going to pull the trigger on a trade with Indy to move into #3. Any chance you can give me an idea where you’re leaning right now?”

DG: “You want Rosen, don’t you?”

MM: “Well, yeah. Who wouldn’t?”

DG: “Don’t worry brother. We’re taking Barkley at #2. You’re good”.

MM: “Dave, give my best to your lovely wife Linda.”

I wonder if tracking up was what he wanted to do all along? I’m not so sure signing both bridgewater and McCown makes sense. One of them will suffice.

With Bowles I don’t see the rookie playing year one unless woody gets involved.

Itll be McCown > Bridgewater > Rookie > Hack, if not cut

I think it will be McCown - Bridgewater or Bridgewater - McCown - new guy in the wings and only maybe Hack still on the roster.

You meant a kicker right?

No. We signed a kicker. He'll draft a returner, you know, some receiver that can't catch but likes to run. I was just joking anyway, but who knows what position they traded all our picks away to get. They had better get a franchise quarter back or else start sending out their resumes.

If I were running the #Jets I would now start Teddy Bridgewater this season. If he plays good enough you are going to get a 3rd compensatory back and you may be able to tag and trade for more. Zero reason to start McCown now

It makes sense to start Bridgewater. You have to see where he’s at.

McCown is an insurance policy so the season doesn’t fall completely apart. IMO

I love this trade... Like I have said on a million threads.... This is a QB driven league and you do whatever it takes to get one... Good Move Mac

Unless Bridgewater sucks during training camp I think this would be the smart way to go. We have to take into account that even though he's not a rookie he still has to learn this system and get in plenty of reps to get back in the swing of things.

I'm glad the Jets will get a top QB; however, who really knows how it all turns out in the long run. I've read a lot of arguments but luck is always a factor. The bottom line is we have a chance to get a potential FQB. I saw Allen throw at the combine and he looked terrific. No accuracy problems that were noticeable. I've seen Baker Mayfield play recently and he looked terrific with all his enthusiasm and very quick release. Darnold is like a Big Ben type with a tendency to lose the ball on occasion . Rosen has had 3 concussions and an ACL injury. Then there are quick decision making factors, reading defenses etc. It is complicated at best to predict who will be there in 10 years. My pick would be Darnold because he is probably the best all around athlete and a quick learner. Second would be Mayfield because of his quick release and very accurate passing, Rosen is the best right now ready but will injuries be his future. I have Rosen and Allen tied as far as tradeoffs go but like I said who knows who is there in 10 years. I'll be happy come draft day with any of them. Good job Mac for a good off season and giving us hope for an upcoming season.

I guess I really have to start looking video on Josh Allen. I don't see how Rosen gets past Giants. I do know Allen has a cannon for an arm so playing in the NE weather won't be a problem. I watched him at combine and he looked very good in shorts.

I’m excited that we will have potential at QB again. Last time we had that was with Sanchez and things were exciting then. Let’s hope for them to get it right.

The Jets need to put it out there that they want Barkley. They need to make the Browns nervous and hope they act like the Browns and swap picks with Jets and give up what the Bears gave up last draft to move up one spot. Now that would be the only way I would call this a complete success. Or maybe they take Barkley #1 and then Darnold or Rosen fall to us which are both better than Allen IMO.

As long as they hate the Mayfield then I will continue to love the Jets.
