Look up the article it was only wrote a few dyas ago...believe it was by Maneesh Meta Ill check it out for sure. But, when I look at their roster I dont see that. I see issues at edge rusher, wideout, tight end and to an extent inside linebacker. Their offensive line is better than ours, not a hard task. They have an above average secondary, some nice players at runningback. Quarterback, remains to be seen. I dont disagree that they have a bad roster in comparison with the good teams in the league, I just think they have a very similar long view as the Bills.

The word was...Teddy and a 2019 1st for Mack. 3 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: Well now we dont have to worry about the jets trading Bridgewater for Mack What makes you guys think they wouldn’t offer a 1st and the 3rd they got for Teddy? I would think the Raiders would value a 3rd over Teddy anyway. I think it makes a deal for Mack even more possible.

Now, will that transfer to the regular season, will his body hold up, etc is another question. But he certainly looked the part. Almost 74% of his passes complete, 8.3 YPA, and 2 TD's, 1 INT. Its just preseason, and didnt follow Jets close enough to evaluate the stat line in more depth, but when I was watching highlights, he certainly looked pretty good to me. Yeah pretty good that Teddy. Not quite as good as Nate though. ? Edited August 29, 2018 by keepthefaith 1
msw2112 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) This looks like a good deal for all parties involved. The Jests get a 3rd round pick for a backup QB and don't end up paying much in the way of his salary & bonuses. The Saints get an NFL QB with starting experience who has shown that he has come back from injury and can be effective. With Drew Brees getting up around 40 (I don't know his exact age), Bridgewater becomes a legitimate future option. For Bridgewater, he gets an opportunity to sit behind a Hall of Fame QB, with an opportunity to show his wares in practice and potentially re-sign and become the future starter. If Brees gets injured, Bridgewater's opportunity comes even sooner. Edited August 29, 2018 by msw2112

Big C Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Great work by the Jets FO. Good future flexibility for the Saints too.
Gugny Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 In 2-3 years, the Jets and Bills will begin battling it out for the AFCE every year. 1
teef Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 i bet they would have gotten a second if he was a white guy. 2
wppete Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Happy for Bridgewater, always was a fan. Now I can cheer for him again.

Fadingpain Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 A third rounder buys Teddy? Wish we would have bought him!

I think the Bills were high on him. Many Bills fans & myself thought we had the picks to get the guy we wanted but I think the Jets out foxed us. Screw the Jets & the frigging Colts. I hope Allen pans out for us. If the Colts every call to move up in the draft, I hope Beane strings them along & then drops them like a lead balloon.
Captain Murica Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 What I'm seeing from Jets fans in my family and friends that they're not happy with the compensation for Teddy. They wanted a second at least. They are not the smartest bunch but I do think getting Teddy for a third is rather cheap. 1
YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2018 Author Posted August 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: It makes perfect sense. The Saints are trying to make their run at the Super Bowl. Bridgewater protects them in the event of a Brees injury. Their window is now. What do they think about JTB? Practice squad maybe?

That would've been the fleecing of the decade if the Jets got a 2nd for a smallish QB who hasn't played in a year and a half after a devastating knee injury. Plus it's not like he set the world on fire when he was healthy. But hey, he's looked great in the preseason? Tell your friends and family they did very well.

SouthNYfan Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 3 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Other than this past year, the Saints offense (since Brees) is definitely not a "great fit" for a low output QB like Bridgewater. I guess they assume they will run on teams like last year for many years to come. He was still # 9 in pass attempts last year with over 500. Even using last year as an example, they still threw the ball a TON.
Matt_In_NH Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 That sounds about right, he is on par with Tyrod who also got a 3rd. I can see the legend of Teddy is still alive and strong.
