The offseason is definitely more entertaining than the games for us Jets fans.
Stoked for offseason episodes!! You guys are awesome and remind us that we’re not crazy for feeling fed up with this team
29:35 Joe Douglas is the worst GM the Jets have ever had. Trading the 2nd overall pick was the most obvious decision any Jets GM has ever had to make, and Douglas totally blew it. Trade the pick, build the team, go QB hunting later. 2 other Jets fans and myself screamed that non-stop in 2021. Turns out the only person inside Florham Park that understood that was Robert Salah. Brutal
I'm guessing these guys did not watch that Eagles game. The Eagles ran the same play on a 10-place stretch multiple times. They gave that game to the 49ers
FA comes first…. IF Jets management panics, as usual …. I could live with the Ariz QB K. Murray – career 90 QB rate…. since K. O Brien, how many Jets QB have been ' NFL Avg ' ?? Favre for what 8 games is about it. A huge step up. top O' Co ordin comes first. and top QB coach. A. Glenn must be kept miles from the Jet O'.
I think Moore would be a great fit he’s 6-3/200 plus pounds . All the jets have to do is get a great quarterback friendly offensive coordinator like a Brian daboll or Todd Haley or somebody that can come in and be an on field advisor to Tanner,, or completely replace him. Someone like that would make Dante Moore a pro quarterback.
So more of a Giants question but the sting of losing that #1 pick started to wear off until the game Friday night. Now with Mendoza the clear #1 pick what do you think the bidding between the Jets & Raiders would look like now.. especially if Moore does not declare.
We need to trade that number 2 gather more picks get QB 3rd 4th Rd get a free agent QB n be ready for 2027 🤘🏾
Bubbler? Zack knows…
Mendoza is NFL ready Moore is a developmental project he isnt worth the 2nd overall pick in the draft
If you are going to sit Moore you trade out from two and take Simpson. If you watch the film Simpson processes much better than more and since they’re both going to sit anyway, I’d rather have the extra pics and Simpson. First round quarterbacks are a coin flip anyway.
Moore is not the answer. WR. Edge. LB and fill holes.
Another year in college pursuing a championship would be much more developmentally rewarding for Moore than sitting his rear on an NFL sideline for a year. Especially at such a young age.
Connor, the report that I heard after the game was Simpson was her. He was in street clothes standing on the sidelines.
Mac Jones for a second round pick? Are you crazy?😂
Moore doesn't seem to have pocket awareness..
Can't sense pressure and has average escape ability
Agree that he should probably not declare
you gotta stop with the 10m at oregon. no chance they completely destroy the NIL/Collectives market and ruin it for everyone. 7 max but where’s the leverage?
Build the rest of the roster and get the QB in 27 , Moore does not help this year so WHY draft him
Great news. Love the show.
Jets should trade down from 2 and add even MORE quality picks to what we have already. I think they should ALSO trade down from 33. A lot of teams will want to trade up for players still on the board that they had 1st rd grades on and give up even MORE quality picks. Build the roster this year with those picks and Free Agency and then next year get the Qb they want(NEED). At least he’ll be coming into a SOLID roster. If you look at the Jets opponents next year another Top 5 pick is very possible.
Comparing Moore rawness to Anthony Richardson is over the top. Come on man
