No way. If Taylor was a 3rd round pick that had some upside, there might be some merit to this. But what exactly would be the point of switching out a 40 year old QB for 35 year old QB? They arent making the playoffs, they are barely playing for pride. Just play out the string and hope for a few highlight plays to put in the hype video for next season

A few reasons.

 

First off, the Jets will be trying to evaluate players for next year. Right now, I don't think Rodgers is a viable enough QB to do that with. Second, from a competitive standpoint, Rodgers is a sitting duck back behind a horrible line. Taylor has a bit more elusiveness.  From a financial standpoint, why pay Rodgers more money for hitting contract incentives by playing half hearted football? 

 

Fans a media like the "Play out the string" theory. For players, they are auditioning for a new coach/GM in New Jersey or another team around the league. They want to play well and win and get good snaps on tape.

Well people from NYC suburbs tend to age more like a vinegear. Especially when soaked in a Roger's caske

Jets get to eat dead cap.  Draft a rookie qb but lose the benefit of getting a qb on a rookie deal by still paying Rodgers qb money and Adams wr 1 money.  They need alot more than a Qb.  Im running the Jets.  I trade Sauce for a first plus.  Likely wont resign anyways.  Build the oline and dlines.  Build around the run game and defense.  That job is as difficult as there is.  A lunatic owner with unreal expectations.  Cap and assets used on old players likely not on the roster nor wanted.

They’ll never get a first for Sauce, much less a first plus.  He’s been flat-out bad this year.

Also, they dont have a top 3 pick and there arent many (any?) blue chip QBs coming out this year. It is a very 2013-type draft.

Correct.  Maybe go all in on Milroe and build a run first offense around him?  But would need to trade some players for enough assets.  Very tough job.  Coaches, Gms with options will avoid.  Like maybe Greg Roman as Hc draft Milroe and go all in with that style.  No real traditional path for success imo.

That seems like a very Jets thing to do to ensure the cycle of suck continues. I'm for it!

If he was a FA would he sign a mega deal?  I think so.  I think he is one of their assets with value.  Maybe Garrett Wilson too.  I think you keep one trade the other.

The need to re-sign him to a mega deal will be exactly why they cant get anything better than a 3rd for him. Although the 5th year option could help get them up to a 2nd and maybe some later round picks thrown in.

There's no question which one you keep.  Wilson is a necessary building block.  Gardner is easily replaced with a third round draft pick.

I mean If Wilson goes from the jets - I mean - please?  Don’t like playing him 2x a year

Like the Bills yearbook videos during the drought.  3-5 minutes of game highlights, and 25-30 minutes of how the new coach/players/draft picks were going to help the Bills get back on track for the new season.

This is one of my favorite threads ever.   I only wish the OP would come back and eat the crow he so richly deserves.  It really is in the Hall of Shame for dumbest posts ever.
