Answer: A hot new QB. what do you think? 561791[/snapback] I totally agree with you. But, they will have to trade up to get him. CP is done, and BB is not the long term answer.

KD in CA Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It's New York, they don't need to drive media attention here. That said, I do think the Jets want a QB and I think they will take VY if he's available. They might even move up a spot to get him. I think they are giving up on Chad. As far as being terrible...don't be so sure. They have a pretty good nucleus of players, it just fell apart this year with the injuries, etc. I think they have a good chance to rebound next season and compete for the playoffs. The AFC East is going to be very competitive next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 CP is done, and BB is not the long term answer. 561803[/snapback] Not only is "BB" not the long term answer, but I don't think he's good enough or famous enough to have his full name (Brooks Bollinger) abbreviated to "BB." I agree; even if Vince is a flop, drafting him will generate a ton of buzz--perfect for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinandjokin Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Drew Brees' labrum injury hurt the Jets also. There were many rumors that the Jets were sniffing around Chargers facilities trying to get an idea of what it would take to get Phillip Rivers in a trade. They were reported to be dangling their #5 1st round pick out there to San Diego. Just like the earlier rumors of Herm going to KC, which were rigorously denied, you have to belive that the Jets were moving forward on this because of the persistence of the rumors. Now with Brees' injury, the Chargers may be bashful to pull the trigger until they have an idea of his recovery time and outlook for 2006. I would assume they should have a decent idea of the success of the surgery by the April draft, so maybe it will happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The real question that remains is what to do with pennington and his 60 million dolar conrtact extension he signed not too long ago. they ar almost 30 mil over the cap, and taking a bit cap hit to get rid of him would really hurt...

JDG Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Funny, I thought you were going to advocate drafting Vince Young because you thought that he might win football games for them. The NY Jets are in a Metro Area with a gazillion people. They don't have to worry about selling tickets on the basis of a draft pick..... Chad Pennington is beloved by Jets fans, and a new Head Coach always generates a bit of buzz. Even if Vince Young is there, and its hard to see how it is, unless they know more about Pennington's shoulder than we do, its hard to see them going in that direction.

bills_fan Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The Jests will be decent, especially if they hire Mangini as HC. That would make us in a division with Belichek, Saban, Mangini ....and we have Mularkey. Anyone else feel like we're bringing a knife to a gunfight???

2003Contenders Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Jets trade down -- and possibly even for FUTURE draft picks, as their cap situation is a real mess and they may not have the money to pay a top 5 draft pick.

tennesseeboy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Young sounds like a good choice for them on the merits. I think we are going to see Leinhart, Bush, Young and Ferguson go in the first five and they will be very lucky indeed to get him. A lot can happen leading up to draft day though.

stuckincincy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Yep - couldn't agree more. Moxie counts. 561962[/snapback] I quote myself... But it occured to me, that younger folks might not know where the term, "moxie" came from. It was a soda pop sold in the 20's, 30's, and 40's. Their ad campaigning was more or less, a "Real Man's drink". The term passed into the common lexicon, and is used to denote a person true and determined and gutsy. If an older person remarks that you have "Moxie", you have been highly complimented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he playing under the Franchise tag? It should be interesting to see if San Diego wants to franchise him again or what kind of interest he would draw on the open market.

NYGPopgun10 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 They're stupid for letting Herm go, stupid. 561806[/snapback] A lot of Jets fans would disagree with you. While Herm was a good motivator, he wasn't the best game day coach. Two words: CLOCK MANAGEMENT As for what the Jets should do, they won't be able to get Vince Young at four and Bush will be gone as will probably Leinart. That will probably be the top three picks. I'd pick Lendale White at four. He'll be better than Bush and a perfect replacement for Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 i would love for the jets to draft vince young! that means maybe da brick is still there or aj hawke..and they would also then have like 25 million tied up in qb's,they say chad pennington is owed 18 mil and its guaranteed,so this would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton's Arm Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd pick Lendale White at four. He'll be better than Bush and a perfect replacement for Martin. 562511[/snapback] I'd LOVE for the Jets to take Lendale White, because starting RB isn't a position of need for the Bills. So some other player--Hawk, Da Brick, Mario--would fall to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
