With Dante Moore choosing to return to school rather than enter the 2026 NFL draft, there has much weeping and gnashing of the teeth about the rotten situation at quarterback the Jets face in 2026. There aren\u2019t a lot of good options. Mostly there is an array of bad and worse options. But here\u2019s the thing: if the Jets had picked Dante Moore at #2 in the 2026 draft, they still would likely have had a bad situation at quarterback in 2026. Sure, Moore might have eventually developed into a top quarterback, but that was unlikely to happen in 2026. This coming season was always going to be rough for the Jets, with or without Moore under center. We\u2019ll see what options the Jets will have at quarterback by the time the 2027 draft rolls around. In the meantime, we should all be prepared for being outgunned at the most important position on the field in almost every game. This was always going to be the case. In the meantime, perhaps the Jets can build a strong infrastructure to support whatever rookie quarterback they eventually bring in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Here are your links to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ganggreennation.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:New York Jets;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">New York Jets<\/a> this glorious Friday in January:<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/news\/nfl-draft-landscape-takes-shape-following-declaration-date-carnell-tate-jeremiyah-love\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Susanna Weir;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Susanna Weir<\/a> \u2013 NFL Draft Landscape Takes Shape Following Declaration Date<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/news\/jets-john-simpson-wants-to-remain-with-team-01-15-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Randy Lange;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Randy Lange<\/a> \u2013 LG John Simpson Can Depart as Free Agent but Wants to Remain in Jets OL Room<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/47610273\/new-york-jets-aaron-rodgers-quarterback-2025-steelers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rich Cimini;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Rich Cimini<\/a> \u2013 What if the Jets retained Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 season?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jetswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/jets\/2026\/01\/15\/3-veteran-quarterback-new-york-jets-should-pursue-offseason-kyler-murray-trubisky-nfl\/88178811007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Justin Melo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Justin Melo<\/a> \u2013 3 veteran QBs the New York Jets should pursue this offseason<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jetswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/jets\/2026\/01\/15\/new-york-jets-dysfunction-through-the-mike-tomlin-steelers-era-sums-it-up\/88179316007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Justin Melo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Justin Melo<\/a> \u2013 The Jets\u2019 dysfunction through the Mike Tomlin-Steelers era sums it up<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/news\/jets-top-landing-spot-1100-yard-rusher-breece-hall-departs\/e960f5a0903e4d2861ac47bb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Charlie Baduini;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Charlie Baduini<\/a> \u2013 Jets named top landing spot for 1,100-yard rusher if Breece Hall departs in free agency<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/news\/jets-predicted-blockbuster-trade-quarterback-may-clash-aaron-glenn\/0442818280971ac498c29e45\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mike Moraitis;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mike Moraitis<\/a> \u2013 Jets predicted to make trade for quarterback who may clash with Aaron Glenn<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/us\/nfl\/new-york-jets\/news\/jets-critical-decision-top-pick-dante-moore\/be434e94890f6a08dc35b2a2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Anthony Licciardi;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Anthony Licciardi<\/a> \u2013 Jets facing critical decision with top pick after Dante Moore announcement<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amny.com\/sports\/jets-plan-qb-dante-moore-1-15-26\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Joe Pantorno;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Joe Pantorno<\/a> \u2013 What is Jets plan at QB after Dante Moore\u2019s decision to stay at Oregon?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetnation.com\/2026\/01\/16\/dante-moore-draft-decision-leaves-jets-in-qb-bind\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Glenn Naughton;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Glenn Naughton<\/a> \u2013 Dante Moore Draft Decision Leaves Jets in QB Bind<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetnation.com\/2026\/01\/15\/how-much-will-the-dial-move-for-the-jets-in-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Steve Johnson;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Steve Johnson<\/a> \u2013 How Much Will the Dial Move for the Jets in 2026?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetnation.com\/2026\/01\/15\/dante-moore-chooses-ducks-over-big-bucks-jets-in-qb-abyss\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Glenn Naughton;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Glenn Naughton<\/a> \u2013 Dante Moore Chooses Ducks over Big Bucks;
