OTA Update: "Hackenberg hit reporters with passes twice"

[gmf1369]

Funny you say that. I just read an article today (MSN sportsnaut) that Jets is considering most likely cutting Matt Forte & Hackenburg. LOL Jets are deciding to not waste any more time with him & move on. I know I would. If some team wants him then THEY can spend time & money on him on a slim chance he can even be a back up QB.

sorry that author is joke, he mentioning far fetch could be options for cutting certain players not like there is any solid sources stating teams are or might be looking to move on from those players...

as for ridding Forte we eat his entire salary for this year, yea okay keep dreaming... only way to move on from Forte is a team trades for him and takes on his full salary...

as for Hackenberg there is real sources that team front office and coaching staff like him... so why would they cut him... oh right because you Gas. say so, because you don't like him,,, geez, he hasn't even gotten a fair shot and you want to kick him to the curb...

here is an excerpt of the article that made gastineau come to the conclusion that the team is debating whether or not to cut Forte... as you will read this is not team source but a personal observation and discussion of what the team should be contemplating... take into note that Forte's entire 2017 cap is guaranteed, so releasing him would be FOOLISH...

Spoiler

With NFL teams now preparing for minicamps and training camps this summer, there are a ton of veterans wondering whether they will have roster spots this upcoming season.

The New York Jets are one team that has not been afraid to cut the fat. After finishing in last place this past season, New York has overhauled a talent-stricken roster. That could potentially continue with the release of a couple underperforming skill-position players here soon.

Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos added a Pro Bowl running back to the mix after struggling on the ground last season. But will said running back actually be on the team’s 53-man roster in 2017? That’s a huge question mark for Denver heading into the latter part of the offseason.

These are among the veteran players that could be released between now and the start of training camp.

Matt Forte, running back, New York Jets

It appears that the Jets’ housecleaning is far from over. Here’s a team that has released the likes of Nick Mangold, Brandon Marshall, Darrelle Revis and David Harris already this offseason.

Could Forte be the next veteran to go? The 31-year-old two-time Pro Bowler is set to count $5 million against the cap in 2017. He’s also coming off a substandard 2016 campaign that saw him put up an average of just 3.7 yards per attempt. As New York continues its rebuilding project with youth, Forte himself could be the odd-man out.

And while releasing him wouldn’t save anything against the cap, it would enable youngsters to shoulder the load in the backfield. That includes impressive rookie sixth-round pic Elijah McGuire, who put up a stellar college career at Louisiana-Lafayette.

here is what they said on Hackenberg, this excerpt comes off Connor Hughes elaboration of erratic passes flying toward and through the media whom were perched so close on the sideline, they could of ended up in the huddle if one of them sneezed... again as Kimberly Jones stated in her segment video posted on twitter, the one erratic throw she witnessed bounced towards them not flew at them...

Spoiler

Hitting reporters with erratic passes during OTAs, this 2016 second-round pick has been nothing less than a disaster for the Jets. It was so bad during his rookie season that New York threw the trio of Bryce Petty, Geno Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick out there while avoiding playing Hackenberg. It really has been just a horrible first year-plus in the NFL for this former Penn State standout.

Sure New York doesn’t have a great quarterback situation. Veteran free-agent signing Josh McCown is slated to start with Petty backing him up. Outside of that, the Jets have no one else to hold down the No. 3 quarterback job.

Even then, it seems that the Jets’ front office is so dismayed by Hackenberg’s struggles that it simply might decide enough is enough. Sure it would lead to GM Mike Maccagnan and Co. admitting a mistake, but that’s better than holding on to someone that most figure has no real future in the NFL.

Even after just one season, Hackenberg simply doesn’t look to be the guy New York can rely on moving forward. Why keep him around as a scout-team quarterback if that’s the case?

or the time later in the movie when he hit the mascot...

This is how I actually picture Hack.

From Cimini:

10. Confessions of a sideline reporter: Yep, I was the guy who encountered a Hackenberg pass last week at practice. With a phone in one hand and a notebook in the other, I was able to use my forearm to block a low sideline pass that hit damp grass and skipped like a stone on water. End of story. Can we stop the hysteria, please?

USANY - I don't think Kim Jones would protect her fellow Penn State alum. I think she reports fairly - which is unique for any reporter covering the Jets. I should add in fairness that Cimini is much better than he used to be. But I would trust Kim Jones's reports over any other reporter covering the team.

Apparently Hack was pretty good today (11-14, 1 drop and 1 pick), and the beat reporters were impressed. I know shorts and no pads, but that is significant progress.
