Horrible drafting in recent history has hurt them; especially their handling of the QB position. 2017 picks Adams and Maye have been a good, physical tandem. I think this is probably the best move for the Jets. I like that they took shots going after Qbs. They just picked terrible Qbs who a lot of people didn't like.
machine gun kelly Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 They had even more strife and necessary turnover than us. They alsways can surprise everyone and beat the Pats Sunday. I agree with the extension. Everyone thought they would be worse than the Browns and maybe win one game at best. They were in a lot of games this year and played hard. i like the move. Give them time and see if they can turn it around is my vote.

They weren’t complete trash like Cleveland but they weren’t good. No idea if they are headed in the right direction. They spent a 2nd on Hackenberg and 2 years later he still hadn’t taken a snap. They drafted Petty before that and he’s nowhere. How do the Jets know these guys can evaluate a QB? I will give them credit for mccown looking better than expected. But the drafting has been underwhelming and I think Bowles is pretty bad. They surpassed expectations but that’s because expectations were rock bottom. Jmo. Exactly. I think them staying is good for the Bills. 4 hours ago, Gugny said: I think this was a really good move by the Jets. The revolving door - as we all know - does not work. Bowles has earned this extension. Earned it by having one of the worst teams in the league?

Dkollidas Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 I feel like they’ll be going after a veteran QB. Watch them grab an edge rusher in the first round, or an offensive lineman. Could definitely see them going after an Alex Smith/Sam Bradford/Blake Bortles/Tyrod Taylor/AJ McCarron/Trevor Siemian/ possibly even Kirk Cousins and then draft a guy later on in the draft.

Other than Alex Smith, those names are no better than mccown and they should just stick with him as the vet QB since he already knows the system. I don’t consider mccarron a vet - he only has a few games of experience. Edited December 30, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Dread321 Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 I see why they kept him around, but as a Bills fan this does not scare me.
H2o Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 Bowles seems like a good coach, but the GM? He should be fired for the Hackenberg pick alone. 1

I don’t consider mccarron a vet - he only has a few games of experience. Couldn't agree more, they appear to be all in on the rebuild and I'd be shocked if they don't draft a QB early. McCown played well this year, Petty is not the answer and Hack hasn't seen the field (which tells me everything I need to know about him). McCown is a perfect fit for their rebuild. When the season started I thought Bowles was a caretaker for this year. The team totally quit on him last year but I have to admit they played hard for most of the games this year and I guess that's why they extended him. Personally I still have my doubts about him and I'm surprised he was extended. 4 minutes ago, H2o said: Bowles seems like a good coach, but the GM? He should be fired for the Hackenberg pick alone. Maccagnans picks: http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2017/04/nfl_draft_2017_grading_mike_maccagnans_jets_draft.html Petty was his pick too. Ouch. He was a 4th rounder, Hack a 2nd, I assume he'll take one in round 1 this year. Better not miss.

Plus, the players seem to like Bowles and play hard for him. They also don't have a QB but are in a position to get one in this years draft
26CornerBlitz Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 Jets GM open to trading up in 2018 draft for a QB
SaviorPeterman Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 No Jets fans should have a problem with this considering what Bowles did with a team that most expected to be in the running for 0-16 like the Browns did this year. And unfortunately for the Bills and rest of the division, if they secure a franchise QB in the draft they could have a very quick turnaround and be back in the playoff conversation next year.
