Agreed, but they have built a decent team around Tua. If he makes advancements even half of what Josh did they could be difficult to beat. I’d love that rivalry to pop back up.

They have built a solid team and it will be interesting to see which way they go in the draft with that high 1st. I would expect OL, but Flores is a former DC so they could go for Parsons. I think Tua can be a quality starter, but his arm doesn't look that live to me. As long as they run an offense where it's more based on timing and quick throws I think he can do well. I don't see him ever becoming a Mahomes, Rodgers, Watson, Wilson, or Allen type of QB though. Just my 2. 2

I’m not one to write off young players...particularly skill position players...until year three or four. It takes time for the vast majority of these guys. As they draft well and Tua can learn to process more quickly, it could become interesting. Of course none of this adds in any off season work he does.

I think he can be a good starter in this league and a Phillip Rivers type. One who has always been that next level just below the elite QB's. 1

Built a strong run game and defense while letting his QB manage the game. Tommy Maddox, Kordell Stewart, Mike Tomczak, Neil O'Donnell ...15 years and in the playoffs 10 of those with mostly bums. Yes, he finally won a SB with a 2nd year Big Ben...he also went to a SB with Neil O'Donnell. Mike Tomlin has had mighty Ben Roethlisberger in his entire 14 years. Look what happened when he didn't have him last season and when injured. Not good. I think it would be worst case scenario for Buffalo fans to see Cowher take the NY Jets job. JMO. I hope they go in a different direction or keep Mr. Wild Eyes. 1
Nester Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 I hope they win another and Gase keeps his job... can you imagine ? LoL
Saxum Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 10 hours ago, Locomark said: The reality is the Jets fans should be more focused on dumping Gase and loading up on real quality weapons and getting Darnold right. They can trade that 2nd pick for multiple high picks to some dumb team willing to take a shot on some mediocre QB like Fields. They then would have a boatload of 1st and 2nd rounders to retool with. And they are likely to get a top 5 pick next year anyways. Better to have offense line before QB. 6 hours ago, Nihilarian said: Darnold has been screwed by his team, two head coaches, GM's and instead of building around him asap they tore the team down. Best receiver gone, best safety gone, best RB gone and their best D line player wants out now too. The only best thing that RB showed in NJ was he was good at collecting game checks.
RunTheBall Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 The game has passed Bill Cowher by. No way he leaves the cush studio job for the Jets sht show. I agree with Coach Tuesday that Miami is going to be more of an issue in the near term. Flores is a solid coach and I really don’t have any problem with how he’s handling Tua. In fact I really don’t want to play Miami twice in a row, I think they could give us a scare. It wouldn’t surprise me if he started Tua next week and then started Fitz against us in the playoffs if we meet. We all know Fitz can have that one game where get gets hot and is nearly unstoppable. The thing that concerns me with Tua is his arm strength. I’m just not seeing it. I don’t think he has the zip to hit tight window throws past 15 yards. This isn’t Alabama where his receivers will have 10 yards of separation and he can just heave a deep ball. Unless Tua develops elite anticipation skills I think his lack of arm strength really limits his ceiling to a game manager type QB and not this elite prospect everyone has been ramming down our throats. 1

I'm not trying to condescend - Just genuinely curious.. I hear the same thing from many media types. Is it just because he played well at Alabama?... because that seems to be what others base it on. In the NFL, he has shown me absolutely nothing. I think he's been a joke so far this year. I get that it's his rookie year, but all he does are the routine QB plays that most low-level/high back-up level QB's can provide. Anything above and beyond that, any medium-high level throw, he hasn't shown he can make at this level, and the arm strength looks very problematic, unless it's still a function of his coming back from injury. 2
Chicken Boo Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Poor Jets fans upset that the franchise doesn't get to ruin Trevor Lawrence's career?

We have seen plenty of that here for years. Some Bills fans on here have been worse, wanting a loss because they worship draft picks, and at times wanted to pick 8th instead of 15th. At least this time the Jets fans knew exactly what player they wanted, so we can understand them... and rejoice that #1 pick won't be in the division What is ridiculous is the NFL not having a lottery like the NHL. Losing should never be a desired option! BTW I wish some posters here would recall how so many draft picks are disappointing or even busts, and that so many late or undrafted guys become good or great. PROVEN players beat draft picks any day. 1

I would double down; get a boatload of talent around him and see what he can do.

I’m fine with him as the Dolphins QB. He could hit the Carr or Mayfield level. That is his ceiling imo.

If he doesn't turn out good, they will be hamstrung and searching for a QB in a couple years.

Agree with this. Not really sure what Tua is - his short passes have incredible timing and precision, but that’s all he’s got right now. He can’t or won’t challenge defenses downfield. They run an Alex Smith-type horizontal offense when he’s in there. It’s not sustainable long-term. But what if they were to trade for Matt Stafford or even Matt Ryan? They have a good coach and a ton of high draft picks. They could be scary.
