Actually improves the offense. Wilson had no business starting. 

 

I watched him when he was with Denver.  It was pretty bad but I see your point.

 

Flacco has to play the Bengals, Colts and Bills in his first 3 games.

Imagine giving up a draft pick for the corpse of Flacco

 

Especially when he was already on their team last year... and they made the genius decision that they didn't need a veteran backup

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I read today the Jets have 63 yards total in the 1st quarter this year. 63!!! 0 net yards passing in the 1st quarter. 0!!!

 

I still can't believe these stats are real. Flacco will be an improvement.

Count me as a Bills fan who isn't very happy about this. Flacco is Flacco - but he's also capable of having great games.

 Don’t they have a backup? Flacco is just bad. 

Who is making the decisions for Jersey?

Their backup was mike white. They went into the season with 2 QBs who had never taken a regular season nfl snap and josh Johnson. But they made up for that with a first time HC and first time OC.

Could you imagine Joe's expression when he found this out?

 

The Jets "where QBs go to die"

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Will Flacco retire instead of having to go back to the Jets? This is hilarious.

 

What are the Jets trying to do? Like, seriously? Does the coach think he has to win a couple games to save his job already or something? It's just so bizarre to trade a draft pick in this situation. I certainly don't follow the reasoning.

When was the last time Flacco had a great game?  

[The Jokeman]

Flacco isn't a starting QB but neither was Derek Anderson when we brought him in when Josh got hurt his rookie year. That said Anderson did play under Daboll in Cleveland yet can't say the same for Jets current OC.

He was 0-4 with the Jets last year.

What is he a masochist?

He was traded. He didn't get a choice. He must have pissed off Joe D last year when he played for the... Jets..

[Draconator]

I kinda was hoping Peterman would be traded to the Jets...

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Is this like a few years ago in the NBA when Brendan Haywood was the hottest asset due to his contract? Everyone wanted to trade for that Haywood contract to engage in cap

shenanigans!

The Jets were terrible. Brady would have been 0-4 w/ them.

 

I'm not saying he's going to change their fortunes. But I'd rather have faced Wilson, or the guy whose name I can't remember who played yesterday.

This can't be real? Even in Jet land.

[machine gun kelly]

Makes sense.  They needed someone with experience.  They should’ve done this before the season.

[Steptide]

Why not just develop Wilson's backup? What exactly are the jets trying to salvage with Flacco?

I just checked, Johnny Unitas is no longer “available”.
