Brees doesn’t look very good.
I love you.All the world loves a lover.You are all the world to me.Therefore, you love me.That was one my Logic 1 prof taught us. I tried it on a few girls; it finally worked on one of them! 37 years later, she's starting to think she was scammed.
Facts instead of junk (all the world loves a lover? Really?) change things just a little.Sorta likeGod is loveLove is blindRay Charles is blindTherefore, Ray Charles is God
Would love to see have seen Chargers win not blow this effen game.Fixed it for myself.
Fortunately (?) for the Jets, it was a false positive.
It’s fascinating how many coaches in this league just have zero ability or understanding of how to play with a lead.This is the second week in a row that the Chargers went into halftime with a lead, with their young QB playing well and confident, and Anthony Lynn went into the second half deciding to run the ball and eat clock. Do that in the 4th up 10-14, sure. But I can fathom how these coaches don’t try to attack in the 3rd with what’s working.My best friend is a Browns fan, and it’s the same issue. Scoring 20-30+ pts in the first half and then letting your opponent back into the game late as you play not to lose, instead of going for a win. They’ve pulled the last 4 games out, but not without worry
At this point the Jets need to get that 0-16/1-15, get that first draft pick and trade it for a slew of picks. Do what Cleveland did.
If the Jets get the first pick, they should and will draft Trevor Lawrence.Nothing matters more to a team's long-term success than having a franchise QB. Sam Darnold ain't it, and you don't pass on a potential generational talent at the position.
I disagree. A franchise QB would be wasted with this roster. A quality QB on this roster, with its poor O line and no running game and no weapons would get pounded and potentially ruined. Look at what happened to Shane "Footsteps" Falco. I don't like Darnold much either, as he too often misses receivers on the rare occasions they are open, but he's never been given a real chance with a competent team. As a Jets fan, I'd actually feel sorry for Lawrence if the Jets drafted him, unless they let him back up for a year and let Darnold take the lumps, which this franchise would never be patient enough to do.
The Colts were crap when Manning got drafted. Same with the Cowboys when Aikman got picked. Broncos sucked when Elway went there. The Panthers were brutal when they got Cam. Etc etc etc. All took their lumps. That’s way more likely than a rookie lighting it up for a very good team. If the Jets think Lawrence is the best, they should draft him -and they probably will.
The Broncos were one season removed from a winning record when Elway forced the Colts to trade him.But the Colts and Cowboys made wholesale front office and coaching changes before drafting Manning and Aikman. If the Jets don't do something similar and they hold the #1 pick, I'm either pulling an Eli Manning or I'm going back to school. There is zero way I am tying my future to Adam Gase if I'm Lawrence.
I would think it would be difficult for Lawrence to turn down the trappings of NY, but maybe he will do what you say. They don't have great leverage, though. For every Elway or Eli situation, there are lots of Joe Burrows who just go where they're drafted.
Agree the Jets should take Lawrence if they have a chance...but I also agree that he very well could become just the next in a long line of 'sure-fire' QBs who went bust. See, e.g., Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, Johnny Manziel, etc, etc.It takes a unique mix of talent, chemistry and coaching to get from here to there....
