Ok…time for a doom post.
After 2 preseason games, the Jets QB situation doesn’t look good….short term or long term. Unless Glenn is just being super cautious in pre-season, Fields isn’t throwing the ball more than 10 yards. Wilson hasn’t caught a pass in either game. And…Taylor is out for the rest of pre-season. Considering it’s the Jets…who knows when he will actually be available.
The Jets are one hard tackle from having their below average QB knocked out and Adrian Martinez being their starting quarterback.
I was concerned when they didn’t use a draft pick for a QB and now that looks really bad. UFA Cook has not looked good at all.
Before the draft, I heard Charlie Weis with Cimini saying that Jaxson Dart was the real deal and the Jets should consider drafting him. At the time, the idea of drafting Dart that high in the first round seemed crazy. People also thought drafting Nix in 2024 that high was crazy, but apparently Payton knows how to spot a QB. Dart looks like the real deal.
Unfortunately the Jets don’t know how to spot a qb…let’s hope Fields is not as bad as he has looked so far. What I fear is that they will just give up on the passing game completely and start running Fields more and more. Then…he gets injured…and the Jets starter will be someone like Trevor Siemian…again.
