Sammy Watkins says hi :nana:

 

 Was a stupid trade up in draft yes. But they didn't give him some crazy contract.  Certainly he didn't get a second contract here.  And even there I can think of even worse draft blunders that even a young fan wouldn't have made.

Could the Jets be the landing spot for a washed up former GB quarterback yet again? It's like a perfect circle.

 

True. But ...

... we forget that Favre DID make the Jets better. That signing is usually considered an epic fail. But the Jets went from 4-12 with the 25th ranked offense in 2007 (the year before Favre) to 9-7 with the 9th ranked scoring offense in 2008 with Favre. And then another 9-7 as the Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez era started in 2009, but with the 17th ranked offense (top ranked defense).

 

So, be careful what we wish for. Semi-washed Aaron Rodgers >>> prime Zach Wilson.

 

EDIT: kinda like Drew Bledsoe to the Bills. 3-13, 27th ranked scoring offense in 2001 (Rob Johnson/Van Pelt), 8-8, 11th ranked offense in the first Bledsoe year. My take: these aging good (not all great!) QBs to new teams usually DO work, sometimes brilliantly (Peyton Manning, Brady, Matthew Stafford, Carson Palmer to the Cards but not to the Raiders), sometimes decently (Bledsoe, Favre twice, Montana, Moon), and rarely totally fail (that's why Russell Wilson is such a mystery case, although Donovan McNabb was a somewhat lesser fail).

Good post. I'd add Kurt Warner to the Cards too AND Favre to the Vikings, where he had one of his best seasons ever and should have gotten to the SB if not for terrible officiating and bounty hunting.

Thanks. Forgot all about Kurt Warner.

Older fans like me were conditioned to think that these old/beat-up QBs to new teams always failed. I saw Johnny Unitas being humiliated in San Diego and Joe Namath beclowning himself in Los Angeles. But that was a different NFL that didn't protect its QBs, and those were truly different 7-step drop, heave it up, pre-West Coast offense days. Even back then there were exceptions like Craig Morton playing maybe the best QB in the NFL in Denver in his mid-30s. And Post-2000 results have been pretty good.
