While I was initially kinda figuring that in my head....it is the Jets here. We shouldn't of got bent over with the added in pick swap on the Rodgers comp either, but we did.
I'm sleeping on it bc that's ridiculous. If the jets did that, I would laugh my ass off. No CHANCE. Davante is going to bring the Raiders a 2nd or 3rd rounder at best, I'm guessing. Garrett Wilson is a 1st rounder plus. Young, clearly very talented, a weapon on offense. Rodgers behind center and armed with the two RBs, Garrett Wilson AND Davante Adams starts to look like a little something. A one-for-one trade would be pratically pointless for the NYJ. Hope they do it!
Confused, had 2 1000 yard seasons with Zach and can’t figure out how to play with my quarterback.
I'm a lot more concerned with how much a guy actually shows he can consistently win on the field as opposed to what he can do when given a league leader level amount of opportunity targets.But on that note of just how impressive or 'special" those 1000 yard seasons really are:
No chance Garrett Wilson with his body of NFL work so far nets you a #1 in this current landscape. They save the pick and just draft WR in the 1st round on a fresh rookie deal.
Saleh-Douglas have their jobs on the line. That's exactly the situation in which you overpay for a guy like Adams. I don't really think it'll be a Wilson-Adams deal, but I do think the general situation will lead the Jets to be willing to overpay. Add in that AR will undoubtedly be making excuses/grousing about needing a WR who knows him, and there's a lot of pressure on the Jets FO. And, really, nothing to lose: losing future picks hurts the franchise mid/long term...but short term can help.
I think it depends on conditions. If the 2nd is easily reached, it’s a lot to give up for a 32 year old rental for a team that is 2-4. Guess they might as well, as this is the Rodgers window and all that, but meh.
I agree, but everybody (else) is fired if they miss the playoffs, so it makes sense for Douglas to sell out for a player like Adams.
They have to go all in on Rodgers. Season still salvageable. There’s an obvious reckoning coming for sure.
They have to try, yes. Sanu was obviously worse, but same concept. The QB is old, window closing, it’s now or never.
Definitely good enough to roll the dice on this year and bet that getting out of purgatory and getting back with Rodgers stokes a reenergized Adams.
He's still pretty good, he had 1100 yards last year with abysmal QB's.
It was a bad throw - one that the royal "we" would kill a young QB over around these parts.
He’s 10th in yards and 8th in TDs. It depends what you’re looking at. He hasnt won games by himself but he has not been terrible. The expectation was average qb play with a good defense wins games. So much for that. The inability to run the two weeks prior was a much bigger problem than the QB. The offense played ok last night, the defense was ok, just a sloppy penalty filled game.
I say this as the most vocal since Day 1 Jets fan on the internet against the trade for Aaron Rodgers - his play ain't the direct problem. Aaron has looked good, and nobody watching his 2024 tape is going to conclude he's a bottom 3rd level QB. Rodgers is by far the best thing this team has going for it atm.
I don't agree that it was a bad throw. It would have been better if it was further outside, but if it was deeper it would have been right at the safety. Open part of the zone, and the receiver didn't know where he was supposed to be and didn't even try to make a play on the ball until late. If he's just standing still in the zone gap he catches that ball.
I think you're being a bit disingenuous here. The Jets(and there fans) were expecting much better than "average QB play" from AR.
Well, he's played 6.1 out of a possible 23 games with him so it's kind of hard to make a leap with any given QB if you've barely played with them. Ironically enough, he looked fantastic last night and I tend to doubt that getting fewer targets will be a net benefit in his development.
I mean before Rodgers even got here when everything was Zach’s fault that was the sales pitch. Expectations went way up with Rodgers but we can’t even do the average QB great D thing.
I probably worded that poorly. I meant he would likely become more efficient on a per route basis with Adams becoming the receiving workhorse and the central focus of the passing game.
His athleticism is gone. He can still spin it, but he isn’t escaping the pocket and extending plays any more.
Wow, me too. And I see a lot of things that show that he's a below average QB at this point in the season that's actually backed by some meaningful data as opposed to just the eye test. Shame on me, I guess.
