We dont hear a lot about that anymore for some reason... Good question........because it's not because Allen has won an MVP, been to 4 straight AFC championships and 2 Super Bowls, won a Super Bowl and eliminated/defeated Mahomes in the postseason the past two seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Not even close to the worst that year. The Jets have only 1 player left from that draft (3rd rounder Nathan Shepherd) and he's only started 9 games in 4.5 seasons, including none this season. Worse yet, they gave up 2018 picks 6, 37 and 49 and 2019 pick 34 to move up to 3 to select Darnold at #3 overall. 1 3 Sam Darnold QB 3 72 Nathan Shepherd DT 4 107 Chris Herndon TE 6 179 Parry Nickerson CB 6 180 Folorunso Fatukasi DT 6 204 New York Jets Trenton Cannon RB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlo Perry and Lonnie Johnson has some moments as well. Not great, but far from terrible. Not so many Pro Bowl players on that list. Lonnie Johnson DID have some moments.....all of them bad.

We've stopped talking about it only because we like our QB and are focused on maybe winning a SB this season.

Regardless of what has happened the past 4 seasons… who do you want now as your QB moving forward ? Would he (Mahomes) have won a SB here by now if they drafted him? Different team around him, different coaching … We both know who was to blame in the last playoff game… I hope the Chiefs fans enjoyed beating us the past two years because the following games they stunk …and ended the season with the same result as us…. no championship… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after looking at the scoreboard you say you don't want to live in the past..........and then pose a bunch of hypotheticals about the past and the future. Scoreboard is the name of the game in sports. The reality is that they aren't going to win that trade. It's already cost them two playoff eliminations. They got Tre White and Tremaine Edmunds out of the deal(after a little sweetening to trade up) and they will both likely be retired while Mahomes is in still in his prime in his early-mid 30's. Maybe Allen goes on to win a SB or more and has a greater career than Mahomes but right now Mahomes is playing a style of game that lends itself to longevity. Allen is going into uncharted waters with the amount of running he does........no QB that has run anywhere near as much as Allen has remained elite past year 8(Allen is in year 5). So my advice is live in the present with a QB like Allen........and save the victory laps until there is a victory to lap about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now you are posing “ hypotheticals” predicting players longevity… So you are living in the future too? Good on you… It beats living in the past crying about a trade 5 years ago … like I said… Mahomes beat the Bills twice ( “ two playoff eliminations”) but what did that lead to for them… the following games in the SB and particularly against the Bengals he was terrible…..he cost them a championship last year with his performance in the 2nd half of that AFC title game … I’m going to live in the present for the moment and and enjoy this season..…with the hope it leads to a Championship…. They are looking pretty good.. If we get a victory lap I’ll let you know … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
