Title: LOLffensive Skill Players
Post by: loyaljetsfan on March 24, 2020, 03:07:36 PM
I think we should spend quarantine time discussing the weapons (or lack thereof) around Sam. I feel good about the TE's we have. WR needs a lot of help, which we can address in draft. Hopefully Bell will be more productive behind the improved OL

Here's who we got:

Tight Ends
Ryan Griffin
Chris Herndon
Trevon Wesco

Wide Receivers
Josh Bellamy
Braxton Berrios
Jamison Crowder
Josh Doctson
Quincy "Mr. Glass" Enunwa
Vyncint Smith

Running Back
Le'veon Bell
Josh Adams
Trenton Cannon
Kenneth Dixon
Jalin Moore

Available FA
B. Perriman
Tajae Sharpe
Devin Funchess
Devonta Freeman

How do we improve this group? Discuss.

CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Reagor
Jerry Jeudy and Devin Duvernay
Henry Ruggs and Justin Jefferson
Laviska Shenault and Lynn Bowman
Tee Higgins and Michael Pittman

Sign a vet WR who is decent (Perriman?) and load up on rookies. Draft a RB late.

Top WR Available
1. Breshad Perriman
2. Paul Richardson
3. Devin Funchess
4. Taylor Gabriel
5. Rashard Higgins
6. Demaryius Thomas
7. Tajae Sharpe
8. Demarcus Robinson
(Josh Gordon)

I expect one of the guys above to be a Jet before the draft. While we will likely draft a lot of WR in this draft, we would be pretty exposed with Crowder and Smith as the only relevant WR on the roster.

I’d bet we sign 2, one that’s got no guaranteed money, so he could be cut in TC if the draft goes our way and we get some talented WRs

Totally forgot we had Doctson.

On second thought, we might actually have enough veteran options at WR, assuming we double-dip pretty high at WR.

Doctson, Enunwa, Berrios, Smith and Bellamy are all possible WR3/WR4/WR5 candidates. Hopefully Crowder and one of the rookies can be legitimate starters this year. If both rookies can play right away, then we might be okay. But our WR corps are in rebuilding mode. I'm hoping in a month, it will look a lot more exciting.

OK, but don't overlook the fact that Q probably won't ever play again, Doctson has been turd the entire time he has been in the league and Berrios hasn't shown much ability to do anything outside returns (granted not given much chance to either).

2.  I was curious about kicking the tires on Paul Richardson, but I'm concerned that SEA signed Dorsett over him.  Could be a money thing.
3.  I know I'm alone on this, but I think Sam and Funchess could form a good, cheap connection.  Just give Sam big bodies
4.  He seems like he would fit well in Gase's system, but last year he fell off a cliff
6.  For consistency sake I'd like to bring back DT, but there were some games where he just looked like he was done playing

Post by: Derek Smalls on March 24, 2020, 04:30:02 PM
Perriman actually has legitimate upside if he started to put it together last season.

I used to like Richardson a lot, but he hasn't done anything in a few years. He would probably come very cheap.

I don't hate the idea of Funchess. He's still young as he doesn't turn 26 until May, and he is big and cheap.

Gabriel would fit in the system, but I think we need more of an outside receiver.

Higgins is a guy I liked in college, and he's young and will be cheap.

Demaryius is another year removed from his major injury, so maybe we can squeeze a year out of him if all else fails.

Sharpe and Robinson fit the "young, cheap and have had some moments" group.

Johnny English brought up Beckham in another thread. I don't think that happens, but I would be completely on board with it if we could hold onto our 1st-round pick.

Brandin Cooks was another guy on the trade market. He's overpaid, but if he's healthy, he can be very good.

With WR values in the tank, this might be a good year to buy low on the WR trade market.

I'm really curious about Cooks now.  Obviously this all depends on his health, but...

If you were the rams and could get even half of his money off the books in exchange for a second round pick that would get you a good wr, that seems like a good trade given his current cap amount, their current cap situation, and cooks' health.

Also, I'm sure Cooks wants to get out of town with that new Rams logo.

I'm not giving up the second for anything that's available on the trade market. One of the thirds would be available.

Yeah, the problem is that with Robby gone the absolute vacuum of talent on our O still, even after FA, is apparent.

Let's say that Woody Johnson decides tomorrow to liquidate the Jets, and Goodell agrees. No more Jets. Entire roster is available immediately in free agency. Who's a coveted player from our offense? Sam obviously, McGovern and Crowder get deals pretty quickly similar to the ones they're on now, Bell gets a job but not on the money he's currently getting. Herndon, van Roten and Griffin all have a market. Does anyone else get signed for anything much above vet min? That's 7 players who are of reasonable NFL standard. After that it's chopped liver, which means that even if we run a 12 package just to get all 7 on the field we still have 4 below average players out there. Are we going to fix all that in the draft?

It looks like they're going to try to build it all through the draft, but it's still only March.

I'm fine trading for someone like Cooks. I just don't think he has that much value right now. Trading a Day 2 pick is giving up too much for him.

Beckham is a different story. Sure, he has his own issues, but if we can get Beckham for essentially the Hopkins deal (2nd and a 4th), I would take that in a second.

Last year, here were the receivers taken in the first 2 rounds. Deebo, Brown and Metcalf were the standouts. Some of the other guys were buried a bit on the depth chart.

- 25. Marquise Brown: Hurt for a while but had some big games
- 32. N'Keal Harry: Emerged a bit late, but not a huge impact
- 36. Deebo Samuel: Emerged as a stud about halfway through the year
- 51. A.J. Brown: Emerged as a stud about halfway through the year
- 56. Mecole Hardman: Had some flashy plays but was on tough depth chart
- 57. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: No impact
- 59. Parris Campbell: Hurt for much of the year
- 62. Andy Isabella: Little impact outside of 1 or 2 plays all season
- 64. D.K. Metcalf: Emerged as a stud about halfway through the season

Title: Re: Offensive Skill Players
Post by: Derek Smalls on March 24, 2020, 06:29:34 PM
Now that our 3 hours of panic are over, the WRs look a lot better now.

Outside WRs
1. Perriman
2. Enunwa
3. Smith
4. Doctson
5. Bellamy
6. Malone

Inside WRs
1. Crowder
2. Berrios

We can at least play 12 personnel with a good group now. But we still need 2 quality rookies to add to the mix.
Title: Re: Offensive Skill Players
Post by: Jumbo on March 24, 2020, 06:31:41 PM
Who knows how Perriman does with a full season starting and if Enunwa will play again, Crowder is historically injury prone, and the rest are mostly trash tier except GOAT Vyncynt Smyth.

Don't really trust the group at all outside of Crowder (if healthy). We definitely need to add at least one player in the draft.

Literally we have drafted 2 WRs who made significant contributions to us since 2004. What in the freak?

The Jets are probably the single worst drafting team in the last 2 decades. It's unreal how bad they are. I am not sure if it's a mix of not being able to predict talent, poor coaching of prospects and a poor learning environment. Whatever it is this franchise sucks at talent acquisition and development. It's not just WR's, it's pretty much every single position.

Yep, you're exactly right.  It's on both sides of the ball. 

Aside from Jamal Adams, who was a no-brainer, the best prospect we've probably acquired in the past decade is Snacks Harrison.  Leonard Williams Mo Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Darron Lee, Dee Milliner, Kyle Wilson...what the hell.

It says a lot when a UDFA nose tackle is one of the best prospects to come out of the franchise.

We are so bad at drafting talent that Robby Anderson, who really isn't that good of a receiver, is seen as one of the best offensive weapons we've had in quite some time (because he is).

I'm hoping that Chris Herndon turns into a solid player.  Obviously, the most important player is Sam Darnold but he's far from a lock right now.  Quinnen Williams has all the potential in the world, let's just hope Gregg Williams taps into it.

With the same owners the problem is how do they fix it. You have to be blind not to see how bad the Jets actually are at this entire process. It's not just bad but generationally bad.


If the Jets went out of their way to be this bad at talent acquisition I am not sure they could do a better job.

Joe Douglas comes from a front office tree that has been very successful.  Maybe he's the guy to finally stabilize this franchise.  He's done a hell of a job telling homegrown FAs and outside FAs that he's not getting into bidding wars for them.  We've never seen that from a GM.  Tannenbaum, Idzik, and Maccagnan always seemed to bid against themselves.  JD doesn't seem like he's going to do that.

His approach to free agency this year was very cool to see.  Now we just wait to see how he drafts.

During 2008-2011 we traded for Edwards and Holmes and later signed Burress, with Cotchery still on the team. Brad Smith technically wasn't a WR in the draft but he also played there some. I forget how we got Kerley.

So we addressed WR but not in the draft, except the picks we traded for veterans. Worked for the short term, better than using #2s on Stephen Hill and Devin Smith.

That's a big reason why I was willing to give Gase another year. I turned on Bowles in Year 2 because he was way too conservative and completely lost the locker room, and I thought the flaws he showed wouldn't correct themselves here. And I really wanted to like Bowles - I thought he was a great hire. Going into Year 2, I was high on Bowles, and he squandered all of that good will. Gase squandered a lot of his good will, but there's still time to turn it around.

We really need to build a WR corps around Sam that will be around for a while for consistency purposes. I remember when Sanchez was at his best, had Edwards, Holmes, and Cotchery.  Then they got rid of Edwards and Cotch, brought in Derek Mason and Tebow and completely ruined Dirty

Let's hope they don't ruin Sam too.

I think a better QB overcomes that. Let's face it, Sanchez wasn't that good. I liked him as much as anyone and he gets a lot of undue excrement, but he never took the team on his back when he needed to. Holmes was also culpable, he and Sanchez got the contracts to be the heart of the passing game and neither lived up to it.

1.  You must be forgetting the 5 or 6 game winning drives Mark had in year 2

This is such a excrement response led by negative past emotions that only exist because of a departure from reality and objectivity.


The first three years of his career were better than the average quarterback who gets drafted top 15, and he got better every year in every category as the coaching staff was adding more to his plate.

Sanchez may not have been destined to be a franchise quarterback, but if you put your emotions aside and take him for what he was, an above average NFL quarterback that was raw and needed coaching to turn him into a franchise quarterback, you can see that he could have been part of the solution and he wasn't the problem.

I think a better QB overcomes that. Let's face it, Sanchez wasn't that good. I liked him as much as anyone and he gets a lot of undue excrement, but he never took the team on his back when he needed to. Holmes was also culpable, he and Sanchez got the contracts to be the heart of the passing game and neither lived up to it.
Seriously, Sanchez started his career with arguably the best OL and Defense in the league. Yet somehow because he had a few receivers come and go people cry for him like he got thrown to the wolves.

Sanchez showed what he was, a poor decision maker that could not read defenses well and was prone to turning it over. If he was a great QB he would have worked out for someone else. Instead he’s on TV these days.

I actually liked Sanchez when he was here. There really are no negative emotions toward him. That offense had a lot of talent his second season and he missed so many easy freaking throws that got to be really irritating at times. Probably the worst case of this was the Colts playoff game that year.

His problem was that he turned out to be average when he should have been much more then that. You can blame the coaching staff and front office for much of it, but a lot of it was on him.

Not only was he all that you listed, but he also had this hoo-ha boy pouty mentality on the sideline every time he turned it over. Imagine if he threw a pick six his first NFL throw like Sam did? He would have excrement the bed the rest of the game.

Sanchez was a ticking time bomb with confidence and pocket presence. Ray Lewis called it in the preseason of Sanchez's rookie year, hit him and he'll fold. Once the front office stopped bringing in quality offensive line talent he was done.

1.  You must be forgetting the 5 or 6 game winning drives Mark had in year 2

I've watched each one about a dozen times, was at the Houston game. Was all in at the time.

Great O line, #1 running game and Rex's D with Revis in his prime. To his credit he made the most of it, but time ultimately exposes you for what you are. He would have at least had a run as a starter somewhere in the next ten years if he was close to as good as we all thought/hoped he was.

Say what you will about Dirty...he still holds the Jets franchise record for most playoff wins by a QB

Always love him for that, he stepped up late season and playoffs those first two years. No hard feelings towards him but you have to have some perspective. Changing a couple WRs didn't ruin his career, he just wasn't that good. The best WR he had, Holmes, was the one they committed to and he excrement the bed, everyone leaves that part out.

And the grading curve changes. As a rookie, second year guy, you live with turnovers, dumb mistakes etc because you feel like he'll get past it. By year 4 when he's still doing the same excrement, that's on him, not the coach or whatever WR we may or may not have wanted.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the team ruined a future HOF player, I just think there were more things wrong with that team than Sanchez.

Agreed.  In my opinion the best way to explain it is, Sanchez was a problem in year 4, but he wasn't the reason we regressed.  The reason we fell apart was because a lack of continuity, poor offensive weapons, and an attrocious o line.

Well, some people hit their velocity peak earlier because they're more explosive athletes. It's not uniform across the board. That's why they measure the 10 yard split in the 40.

But you're right that you can't precisely figure out a person's 40 time from their 100m time, hurdles or not.

I think there will be a ton of roster churn this season at the bottom of rosters. I think it will be a lot more player-for-player trades based on positional need.

Guys won't have chance to impress in preseason, so all waiver claims will be based on college film, past NFL film, and word-of-mouth. Smart teams will churn through the bottom of their rosters a lot to see if they can find more diamonds in the rough that didn't get a chance to show their talents in the preseason. I think we'll also see fewer draft picks cut than usual, since GMs will stick to their pre-draft evaluations more than usual.

If there's any truth to the cap situation it should be interesting to see how teams pursuit big name players.

Do these guys go for one year contracts to hold out for a real payday?

I want to know who Douglas was supposed to go out and sign. 

He could've hung on to Robby Anderson and signed Breshad Perriman, but that seems like overkill.  It's not like free agency was loaded with talent at WR. 

We don't know if Jabari Zuniga is a better choice than Bryan Edwards right now.  Edwards is also made out of glass. 

2021 is LOADED at wideout and we have several picks in the first three rounds. 

The problem I keep seeing is that fans expect this garbage roster to be fixed overnight.

What if we re-signed Anderson and he got hurt?

I'm assuming it would've been Gase's fault.

Without the hypotheticals, I'd take Perriman at half the cost of Anderson with the chance that Denzel Mims develops in a more well-rounded #2 than both of them.

If Douglas opts to not draft a receiver in next year's draft, then I'll start questioning what he's doing.  Until then, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because he's not going to be able to rebuild this team in one offseason.
Title: Re: Offensive Skill Players
Post by: Derek Smalls on September 02, 2020, 12:08:53 PM
Perriman and Anderson are similar players. I wanted to bring back Robby because of continuity purposes in a messed up offseason, but Perriman has more upside. Perriman has more downside, too, but I was fine taking a shot there.

I think they should have drafted another wide receiver.
- Bryan Edwards over Jabari Zuniga
- Quintez Cephus/Tyler Johnson/Antonio Gandy-Golden over James Morgan
- James Proche over Braden Mann

The Morgan pick is the one that hurts. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if we had drafted a guy like Cephus. I get that having to rely on a 3rd-7th round rookie isn't ideal either, but I was calling for those WRs at the time, so it isn't like this is full hindsight. Obviously, the Mims and Smith and Perriman injuries have made it all look worse.

Anderson missed two games in 4 seasons. He might have got injured, but his history suggests he's somewhat hardier than Perriman.

$10M for a player we already knew at a position of weakness was not a difficult decision IMO. Replacing him with Perriman to save $3.5M could very well turn out to be a shockingly poor move.

Almost every other team has found a way to surround their young QB with weapons. I’m done with the revisionist history, we have simply been inept at supporting our young QB over 3 years when plenty of other franchises has done it the right way, a few in less turnaround time.

This isn’t all on Joe Douglas, he’s cleaning up Duff’s mess.

No reason that we couldn’t have traded for Hopkins or signed multiple WRs or drafted multiple WRs. I get that Douglas has to turn the whole roster over, but Darnold ends up getting shafted. How is anyone supposed to evaluate a QB like this?
Year 1, he was a rookie. Year 2, historically bad OL. Year 3, no one to throw the ball to. This is a critical year for the Jets internal evaluation of Darnold because they have to decide on the 5th year option before the next season. It just doesn’t come off at all like they view him as a franchise QB.

To be fair, if he is truly a franchise quarterback, he shouldn't need to be propped up by his skill position players. He doesn't need to throw to DeAndre Hopkins.

But he needs to have actual NFL players at wide receiver, and the jury is out if we will even have replacement-level players.

I expected to draft multiple wide receivers. Then when that didn't happen, I figured we would sign Robby/Perriman AND another veteran. I get that the veteran options aren't great, but it still would have been nice to have Moncrief a month ago.

I don't blame Douglas tor anything right now.  WR core was OK before injuries.  I can see the argument that we should have taken another wide receiver in the third or fourth round.

I was pleased to see that we had several wide receivers coming back from injury today. Things were starting to get really thin at wide receiver after yesterday.

I'd like to see this year shake out first before I start blaming Douglas for a bunch of stuff.

Ok and Pat Mahomes doesn’t need Hill/Kelce, Brady doesn’t need Gronk, Matt Ryan doesn’t need Julio Jones, etc. They should just play with scrubs off the street since they’re franchise QBs.

Well...this offseason there were two glaring priorities.  Protect Sam and find him some weapons.  Clearly the former was top priority and the primary focus. 

Like Heis said, we have significant draft capital next year, in a draft loaded at the WR position.  I expect that will become the primary focus in 2021....if not, then someone needs to determine if JD knows what he's doing.

Unfortunately this rebuild is gonna take more than one offseason.

I would have been fine missing out on GVR, Fant, or Cam Clark for additional resources at WR. I get that there are priorities, but if he can’t do 2 things at once we need to look for a new GM.

Douglas is going to draft his way to success, not sign it.  We might as well get used to the Ravens front office method.  Draft well, make impact signings, don't overpay.

I'm not pretending we are a top 10 offense or anything, but it will improve significantly from last year simply from better blocking and healthy TEs, even if the WR is not good.  Sam will lean on Bell and the TEs more than the WRs.

I'm really interested to see how the run game improves.

His most senior role was at the Eagles where they made a bunch of good FA signings like Jeffery and Long and Brooks and Foles and Wisniewski, and then immediately won the Super Bowl. I'm inclined to think that that's at least as indicative of his approach as his time spent scouting for the Ravens.

3 of 5 starters on their OL were homegrown draft picks.  Zach Ertz was also a huge part of that team's success.  Wentz is their franchise QB.  Nelson Agholor was also one of their starting receivers.  Foles just happened to luck into a magical run. 

7 of 11 starters on defense were draft picks or UDFAs.  Their best rotational pass rusher that year was their first round pick, Derek Barnett. 

If you look at Baltimore and Philly, they really don't place much value in the receiving corps.  They patch that up with veterans. 

Those franchises value OL and EDGE.

The only answer to this that makes ANY sense is trading for Nuk Hopkins. I imagine Houston wasn't going to give up Nuk for 48 straight up to an AFC team, and while in a vacuum I would have been fine giving #11 for Nuk Hopkins, Sam's life will be better long term with Mekhi Becton than with Nuk.

As to the Robby/Perriman thing, that is revisionist history, those dudes are essentially the same player and certainly would play the same position for us in a normal situation. People only wish we had both because our depth (what little we had) has been decimated by soft tissue injuries so far.

given the 5 picks in the top 100 we will have, I think it's pretty likely we add 2 WR's with those 5 premium picks, to go with another offensive lineman, an edge and a CB.

JD can't fix it all overnight. And you can't say 'if he can't do 2 things at once...' because he also was dealing with a CB room that only had one POTENTIALLY useful player in Bless Austin, and 0 edges to work with when the offseason began. He added youth in both spots in the form of draft capital in Zuniga and Hall, he planned for the future with a pair of BPA selections in Ashtyn Davis (which looks infinitely better now that Adams has been traded) and Braden Mann.

I personally would have neglected the edge prospect in Zuniga to take Edwards. But in JD's eyes he already added a young WR to the core and hadn't an edge to that point. The plan was always to take another WR, I just think Davis and Hall were on the board when they didn't expect them to be, and felt they couldn't pass them up.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be drafting good players, I'm saying that we should also be signing good free agents and if need be giving them lots of money.

In any case, I think it's mostly moot while we have a head coach who will fail to produce with any roster he's given.
Title: Re: Offensive Skill Players
Post by: CatoTheElder on September 02, 2020, 02:56:03 PM
It's hindsight now but I think that keeping Robby would have been d better move than bringing in Perriman.

Perriman is much better at getting open but $20 million over two years isn't prohibitive and it would have at least given Darnold some continuity, especially given the rest of the cast.

No one would have predicted this level of injuries at the WR position and it will be very difficult to make it a worse scenario in 2021.

At least Griffin and crowder are both here so Darnold has two familiar players to throw and it looks like Herndon is picking up where they left off with him.

We'll see how the rest of the season goes. There's still the waiver wire and someone could shake loose before the trade deadline. We were walking into this season with an absolute excrement roster and managed to improve some of it.

Godwin and Galladay are likely going to be tagged if they don’t get new deals worked out.

TY is old and with a game predicated on athleticism to win scares me, I don’t trust JuJu and if the Steelers are plenty happy to bail that should make people nervous. I think Keenan Allen is going to be that pickup that everyone goes “why the hell didn’t we sign that guy?”

For me id be going ham after Green and Allen/Robinson. Green will be a perfect mentor to young guys we draft for a couple seasons and Allen/Robinson can be a major contributor while we wait for Mims and whomever we draft in the top 2 rounds to develop for us.

Looking at this WR room in 2021 would be absolutely outstanding

Jamarr Chase
Keenan Allen
A.J. Green
Denzel Mins
Later round rookie
Braxton Berrios (ST/Return guy)

Don’t forget we can Cut Crowder this offseason and save nearly $11 million as well. So he’s no lock to be back if we are completely cleaning house.

I love A Rob... wanted him in the draft that year (which makes me feel old). I’d trade a late round pick for him. At the very least as an attempt to save Sam. Trading a late round pick to put talent around your QB wont set this franchise back, but wasting 3+ years and a 3rd overall pick on a QB would.


As far as the above list goes, Chris Godwin is by far my #1 target on that list, but he’ll likely get tagged.

I disagree with all of this.

Beckham is a pain in the derriere, but he is still elite.  Mayfield is the problem in Cleveland.  If things go poorly with Sam, he'll act the same way. 

The problem with Robinson is that if you trade for him, you also have to extend him.

Especially when you're part of the problem. It would be one thing if Darnold were playing lights out and his receivers kept dropping passes and running bad routes. Can't throw your skill players under the bus when you aren't playing well either. Not that he should be doing that anyway

Don't agree. If good players are available for a good price, make the deal. As long as it's not a rental which I agree would be pointless, adding a good receiver would only help Sam. I don't give a freak about Gase, he's a dead man walking. Sam is the franchise.

Here's the rub, the only moves of significance we could make mean that we probably can't get a guy like Lawrence. So if Douglas were to make a move for Allen Robinson, then I think you can take us out of the running for #1 overall unless Sam gets hurt. But if we brought in Robinson on the 'cheap' and then picked 4th, and grabbed Jamarr Chase, there will not be any real excuses for Sam with a top 4 of Robinson, Chase, Crowder and Mims.

Year 1 he was a rookie. Looked mostly great, still had things to learn. Development normal.

Year 2 he got mono, played behind an historically bad line and still had times when he looked like he was going to be terrific.

Year 3 he has a line but no weapons, and is apparently still not being given license to call his own plays when he can read them.

I'm not really sure how he doesn't get a pass so far. I feel like we're lucky he has the talent and mindset he does, it's the only thing that's keeping him real right now.

Darnold has to run the plays that are called with the personnel on the field. And now we know for absolute certain there are times when he has no license to make counter-decisions to the playcall.

Still, Sam has shown flashes of brilliance. Has Gase?

I agree. They are excuses though. I think they are fair excuses but they are still excuses.

"Mostly great" is a bit much for his rookie season. I agree that his development was right on track though. I dont think Sam has ever been mostly great other than that one Packers game.

If he were better and not checking to screens to Chris Hogan against 5-man rushes on 3rd and long, maybe he would get more license pre-snap. I do wish he were able to change that play on 4th down though. Clearly he gets some leeway.

Where I was going is potentially into Douglas' mind.

If I am Douglas and this team appears to be actually as atrocious as it might be, and I think I might be about to luck into the #1 overall pick, am I really about to make a serious move (for example, go get Allen Robinson for a conditional 4th that can escalate to a 3rd with a new contract signed before the new league year starts) which if I believe in Robinson (which obviously I do if I am making that move mid-season) I am taking myself out of the running for the #1 overall pick. This means that I definitely will not get my hands on Lawrence, the best QB prospect I am likely to be within striking distance of in my initial contract as Jets GM (and hopefully my entire career). That means I am hitching my wagon entirely to Sam Darnold, a guy that Gase might have actually ruined over the past two years.

Man that is a scary thought. Especially if Robinson actually wants to leave Chicago. If that's real, he is likely to hit the market in March, and then I can just go pay the man then without risking my draft capital/chances at Lawrence. Add to it, if Sam wins enough games to avoid the #1 pick, then I can just go get him Robinson in March to bolster the squad, and again I don't alter my draft capital to build up a roster which is quite clearly a disaster every where on the roster.

In my mind, it really comes down to 2 things, how much does Douglas believe in Sam despite his poor start to the season, and how cheaply are the Bears willing to part with Robinson?

For me as a Jets fan, I would rather pay the mid round premium for Robinson right now to try and save Sam, even if it turns out that Robinson both takes us out of the Lawrence race and fails to save Sam while he does it. But I can absolutely see why Douglas would not be willing to do it, depending on the level of belief he has in Sam's long term future right now.

According to sources familiar with the situation, the Bears are looking at the recent Cooper Kupp extension with the Rams as their comparison, meaning they're in the $15 million-to-$16 million-per-year range," Graziano writes. "Robinson is thinking more along the lines of Odell Beckham Jr. or Tyreek Hill, who are in the $18 million-per-year range. Keenan Allen, age 28, just signed a third contract with the Chargers for four years and a reported $20 million per year, and don't think that's not on Robinson's mind here. Robinson (98 catches for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns) and Allen (104 - 1,199 -6) had similar statistical lines a season ago, and Allen has also had injuries in his past."

That is a fair point. We have a chance at Lawrence. Might not want to eff that up. Most valuable #1 pick in years. Could probably get three 1s for it and more. Or we could take Lawrence and decide what to do with Sam.

Darnold needs better coaching & playcalling and some talent to actually catch the damn ball. Anything less is neglect of duty by the management of this team.

I really don't want to bail on Darnold, even if he has a rough year.  He's the type of guy and talent that this team needs, but he's being hamstrung by lack of surrounding talent and coaching.  Yeah, he makes some mistakes, but this team doesn't give him the leeway to get away with it.  Mistakes are magnified on this team.  It seems one missed tackle is almost always a TD instead of just an extra 10 yards.

Let's just say they trade for Robinson, and still the season is garbage and Sam looks awful. They are still in position to draft Lawrence, and he comes in with an OL already in the process of being rebuilt with Allen Robinson, Jamison Crowder, Chris Herndon, and Ryan Griffin to throw to. Nevermind Mims, Smith, and whoever else might be drafted/acquired.

Let's just keep hoarding cap space and draft picks though

Okay, but how do we know Darnold wouldn't be progressing with even decent coaching, playcalling, and talent to catch the ball?

All I'm saying is give him someone to throw to, and call some decent plays (and don't hamstring the kid when he walks up under center).

What we have to consider is this:

Joe Douglas did not draft Sam Darnold.  There was never a real plan in place to build around him, unfortunately.  Maccagnan moved up in the draft for a QB and did not have a plan after that.

Darnold either steps up this year and proves he belongs and plays us out of that #1 pick, or we are the worst team in the NFL with him at QB and it'd be time to move on because you can't pass on Trevor Lawrence.

With all that said, this team is in a much better place now than it was in 2018 when we took Sam.  Douglas appears to have a plan and he has cash and draft capital to use to help our QB (whoever that may be). 

It's not like we'd take Lawrence and that's the only pick we have.  We still have 3 other first rounds in 2021 and 2022 and loads of cap space.

I don't understand your point. Your point is that Peyton Manning was significantly better than Sam Darnold, and that's why we should stick with Sam? And Manning played in an era where passing numbers weren't as padded as they often are today, so his numbers are even more impressive compared to Sam's.

I agree Darnold needs more talent around him. We don't even really have the bare minimum of talent around him. That's why I'm willing to accept mediocre QB play from him, even in Year 3. His play against the Bills did not meet that extremely low bar. Against the 49ers, he played a lot better, even if the numbers didn't really reflect that.

Darnold progressed from year 1 to year 2.

Maybe he didn’t take as big of a leap as we would have hoped, but there’s clear improvements in his comp %, INT% and TD%. If we want to dive deeper, he was also dealing with a new playbook, league worst OL, and Adam Gase as his mentor. He didn’t regress in year 2, which I think is actually a victory.

It's not like we'd take Lawrence and that's the only pick we have.  We still have 3 other first rounds in 2021 and 2022 and loads of cap space.
We can take Trevor Lawrence AND a WR late in the 1st round AND a gord in the 2nd or 3rd round AND sign a receiver.

If Sam Darnold is as good as we think he will be, he should be able to pull out a couple wins for us and get us out of the #1 pick. It's possible the rest of the team is so hopeless that can't happen, but most teams who end up with the #1 pick have a QB injury or QB ineptitude.

I think a big reason why Douglas took the job was because Sam Darnold was in place. I don't think he wants to replace Sam Darnold, even if he didn't draft him. However, we need to start making decisions on Darnold's contract starting next offseason, and if we get the #1 pick, that means Darnold is likely replaceable.

I didn't even look at the total stats, I looked at the rate stats. TD pct, Int pct and yards per attempt. And if Darnold gets hurt again, that isn't really an argument on why Darnold should be the answer. Obviously, the mono is a freak thing.

My argument is why aren't we giving Sam Darnold an opportunity to play us out of that pick? If Allen Robinson is available, why is he not wearing green? Why aren't the TEs on this team being targeted in the passing game? Why isn't Sam allowed to audible on 4th and 1?

From what I've seen I think Darnold can be the guy, our struggles really haven't been because of him and our record is respectable when he's played. A line and some weapons would help him, I'm really not interested in going back to square one with a new QB learning the stuff Sam has spent the last three years learning.

I don't care about wins, I care about how Sam plays. If he has more games like Buffalo, I'll worry about his future. Last week was fine.

I would like to see some actual good games before the end of the season, assuming we have a somewhat healthy group of skill players at some point.

The issue is that if we do win 1-2 games, we will likely get the #1 pick, and it will be very hard to pass up Lawrence.
Title: Re: LOLffensive Skill Players
Post by: Libero_2 on September 22, 2020, 04:20:40 PM
Let's just say they trade for Robinson, and still the season is garbage and Sam looks awful. They are still in position to draft Lawrence, and he comes in with an OL already in the process of being rebuilt with Allen Robinson, Jamison Crowder, Chris Herndon, and Ryan Griffin to throw to. Nevermind Mims, Smith, and whoever else might be drafted/acquired.

Let's just keep hoarding cap space and draft picks though

That's the thing, I don't think we are. the margin for error between picking #1 and picking #3 is very small. It's not uncommon to have 2 2-14 teams in a single year. Adding Allen Robinson IMO takes us from a 2-4 win team to a 4-6 win team.

So if JD makes that move (assuming its both possible and reasonable) then he is committing to NOT picking #1 and as such is saying Sam is our guy. You can't pick #2 and get Lawrence, and there are only about 5 teams in the league who if they found themselves at #1 wouldn't pick him and those are teams with all star QBs who are under 30 (Mahomes, Jackson, Wilson, Watson etc). Most of that group either doesn't have a 1st round pick, or has already won enough games to assume they won't lose out to get to 2-14/3-13. My point is that no one is coming off the pick to take Lawrence, so if you want him, you have to be bad enough to 'earn' him. Allen Robinson is probably enough (barring injury to Robinson or Sam) to keep us from being that bad, but not bad enough not to pick top 7.

If JD isn't 100% sure Sam is the guy I don't think he can make that move right now. Now if come Halloween, Robinson is still on the market and we have already won 2-3 games and don't appear that we can get the #1 overall pick by just flat out sucking, then we are talking about a completely different situation. Saving Sam becomes the only logical play, and going after Robinson suddenly makes so much more sense.
Title: Re: LOLffensive Skill Players

K.Shanahan had to deal with more injuries, started a backup QB, lost 3/4 of his starting DL, and still whipped our asses.  Gase has zero excuses.

I think Mex’s point is that no fan gives a freak. But ownership might. That’s the only guy Gase has to convince with his excuses, and frankly no one trusts jets ownership right now

If ownership bites on that bullshit, then they obviously aren't keeping tabs on the rest of the league.  Every team has injuries, and they're still winning games.

Yes, every team has injuries but we have a biblical amount at receiver... a position that already lacked depth.

The issue is not losing...it's how we lose.

We are flat out non-competitive, and that's unacceptable even with the retreads we have on offense.

Not quite.

49ers have depth on offense. Mullens is solid. IMO there is little drop-off if any between him and Jimmy G. Oddsmakers agreed. Jordan Reed is better than any TE on our roster. They also have their 1st-rd WR playing.

49ers are clearly beat up too, but the Jets have absolutely no depth so we can't afford these injuries. Jets are literally missing their top 6 receivers if Berrios is hurt.

Mullens isn't solid, he's well coached.  Imagine if Mullens was playing for the Jets under Gase. 

Jordan Reed is a piece of glass. I think he got hurt again today.

It’s so frustrating because this was one of the only positions that we could feel confident in and had some depth to work with.

Now Griffin and Herndon are invisible. Wesco is proving to be a pretty stout blocker but thus far hasn’t been given a chance to see if he can catch.

I’d say Kyle Pitts is now a target at the end of round 1 assuming we don’t get Jamaar Chase with our first pick and the legit WRs are gone

Maybe the line shouldn’t have been that it was impossible to evaluate Gase with the injuries from last season.

Maybe it should be that it is impossible to accurately evaluate the roster with Gase employing it.

Pitts, Friermuth, and Jordan are all viable options with our second first rounder if the top five wideouts are gone.

This has to start becoming the conversation

Is the roster screwing Gase or is Gase making excrement salad out of decent parts?

It's not a great roster, and it's down some better players from last year, but every single player on this team looks worse than a year ago

season is shot so would be nice to see what we have in some of these unheralded FA signings/late round picks/UDFAs like franklin-myers, smith, bryce huff. our CBs have been derriere and i don't know what the situation with bryce hall has been but i hope he gets some burn this year too

No way. Build from the trenches and fill in the skill positions after. A young cornerstone LT is so hard to find.

I'm firmly on the Becton bandwagon. Loved the WRs available with our pick but thought we had to build the trenches first and the 4 tackles had to be the pick IMO. Just thought it was worth mentioning considering how our wrs are playing.

Going LT always was the right choice. The only way it wouldn’t be is if we were looking at a drastically inferior LT prospect like Ezra Cleveland or Josh Jones as our best options at 11. Percent hen you go WR all day. But thankfully we had Becton available to us and hopefully he gets healthy and continues to prove he is the best of them

I agree, you build out from the line of scrimmage, players like Q and Becton. We did go WR with the next pick and we're yet to see how that will work out.
