The Official 2025 NY Jets thread

I usually agree with Rich Cimini, but he called out the Jets for starting Cook this weekend. He says Taylor gives them the best chance to win, so he should play. Of course, either qb is going to lose this game. But I don’t get it…2 games left…close to having a top 4 pick…so you risk that and roll out the 36 yo QB?

I think the Jets are in full tank mode…and I am here for it. Now they just need the Raiders to beat the Giants.

I disagree with his take. I’d rather see if Cook has any value as a backup going forward. To me that’s worth more than the very slight increase in the chance of winning a meaningless game.

I agree…but Cimini believes they have seen enough of Cook and they already know that he has no value as a starter of backup. That seemed a bit harsh to me. I don’t think he has been that bad.

Seems like giving him another shot helps them confirm his future..and helps them get a better draft pick.

I didn’t know throwing a rookie into three games with NO ONE at wr and a defense that’s getting shredded is enough to make a final call on a qbs future.

Sources: Raiders sit Crosby with top pick at stake

The Raiders informed defensive end Maxx Crosby that he will sit out Sunday's matchup against the Giants due to a knee injury, sources told ESPN.

Looks. like the Raiders are going to tank harder than the Jets. Let’s hope the Giants tank also.

So…what is a worse watch….UConn playing without the Head coach, QB and assorted other players. Or…the Jets tanking hard against the Patriots?

I honestly don’t know the answer.

Definitely the Jets are a worse watch, at least you had kids giving playing hard in that Fenway bowl in an outmatched game, 2 fake punts in a row lol why not just go for it. Common sense says you shouldn't fake a punt a 2nd time on the same drive.

Especially against what was a normal defense, not a punt return D.

Jets special teams are the only part of the team playing well…so they figured why not use them as much as possible…lol.

Why does Glenn deserve a second season? Give me one facet of this team that’s above a D- right now? Are we really a few first and second rounders and some FA money away from finishing above Buffalo and New England?

per Cimini..AG is making $10mm a year and Johnson will never eat the balance of his contract.

I am ok with him getting another year….but Mougey better have a plan on how to use those draft picks and cap space to get this team better next year. They can’t have another 10+ loss season next year and think they will keep their jobs.

It looks like the Raiders are going to get the first pick. So Mendoza is off the board. They need to hope Moore comes out.

 

[Deepster]

Would you rather roll the dice with Moore, trade the draft pick treasure chest for Mendoza or sign Malik Willis?

If you assume both Moore and Simpson enter the draft and that the Jets stay at #3 (strength of schedule gets worse next week but so does the Titans) pick one of the QBs. The Giants will trade back from #2. If the Giants win #2 is Jets or Titans, another team not taking a QB. Chiefs could theoretically lose at Vegas, but the Titans won’t beat the Jags.

Short answer is Jets are in good shape for a QB without trading up, but can’t get Mendoza unless the Raiders win or make an unexpected decision.

If the Raiders get the first pick….they won’t be trading out. That’s why I was rooting for the Raiders yesterday…I wanted the Giants to get the first pick. The Giants screwed themselves and the Jets by winning…lol.

The thing is..if Moore doesn’t come out, the Jets are basically stuck. They can take a shot in the second round on a plan B qb like Tyler Shough.

I think they sign a vet AND draft a qb. They have so many needs, it’s hard to give up multiple picks for a questionable QB unless they are certain. They can’t Zach WIlson this.

But…they probably will.

The general consensus is that Simpson is not top 5 worthy. And…Moore still hasn’t decided if he is coming out. But…a lot can and will change the next few months.

I mean, the consensus was that Jayden Daniels wasn't top 5 worthy at this point in his senior year, no Bo Nix, nor Jaxson Dart and definitely not Penix. If Simpson declares and goes through evaluations, I think he's going in the top 5. I agree with you that unless the Chiefs lose to Vegas, the #1 pick is staying with the Raiders. The Jets have huge draft resources thanks to some really great trades. Pick a guy and then stock talent around him. Simpson looked very good in a comeback win against an extremely strong OU defense.
