The Official 2025 NY Jets thread

You're not wrong.

Take the Saints, for instance. They were 6-11 but Shough ended the season playing really well and they won 4 of their last 5. They played tough, showed heart and have something to build on.

The only thing the Jets have going for them right now is it can't get any worse. That's pathetic.

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison…the Saints closed out their season with a rookie quarterback playing well and they didn’t trade away their best defensive starters midseason.

The Jets did a have a period mid season where they looked decent…but then they trade Sauce and Quinnen…and they benched Fields and Wilson goes on IR. Hard to look good at the end of the season with those circumstances.

I think the jury is out on AG..but I don’t think everything that happened at the end of the year is on him. I do think that they decided to unofficially tank…and it’s hard to look good on the field in those circumstances.

You know I love you, Shaky....but I think you're being kind. They were 1-7 with Sauce and Quinnen, Fields getting hurt probably made them BETTER and the deficit they were outscored in their last 5 games is beyond reprehensible. Mitch Trubisky looked like Johnny Unitas out there.

The Saints sent Shough out there in weeks 17 and 18 with Audric Estime at RB and no Olave. Shough was a 2nd rd pick, not a blue chipper and they actually developed him through the season. Unlike paying Justin Fields 40 million on his 3rd team to go entire halves with less than 25 yds passing.

I'm so down on this franchise right now. I wish I could just fast forward past the next 2 seasons to either be .500 or welcome in the new coach and GM.

Saints were also in some of the worst salary cap hell of any team in the NFL. So they were essentially forced to avoid the more expensive veterans at QB and other positions and just go young. Sometimes that helps you avoid mistakes. I credit the Jets deadline trades with an indication that they know there's no quick fix. Draft and develop.

I don't get the troll. All indications are Harbaugh and the Giants are all-in right now. Isn't that nerd McDaniel still your HC?

And why in the Jets thread instead of the Giants thread? Pretty sure Miami won't be getting Flores back. Chris Shula would obviously be a very interesting option.

Ya gotta admit…in the beginning to mid part of the season they looked respectable. Remember the Pitt game? Yes…the record sucked but they ended up picking up a couple wins.

My point is that the last 6 games or so were attributable to the Jets trading away the top 2 guys on D…players on IR…and deciding to tank the season by playing what’s his face at QB. They didn’t even go back to Taylor when they could.

AG made 2 very bad decisions…going with WIlks and signing Fields. He never could recover from them and they decided at midseason to start over again.

Unless Harbaugh changes..I don’t get why he is so appealing? He was always too conservative to close out big games. Also….the fact he couldn’t get on the same page with Jackson is troubling.

He is a good old school coach…but when I think of top current coaches he isn’t in the discussion.

McDaniel the special needs child? Yep. That is why the chance of getting Harbaugh is enticing. Things move fast but this morning the NYG and Fins were prominently mentioned, along with even the Jets (hence the friendly troll.) I think Glenn is a much better HC and leader than McDaniel.

Every team with an opening wants Harbaugh. Why would he go to the Dolphins?
 
I do not want them to draft Moore. He's just too raw and young and it's not a good fit for either him or the Jets at this time. I feel like either Mendoza falls to 2 (he won't) or the Jets trade up to 1 to get him (they won't) or wait a year and go with a Malik Willis or Kirk Cousins stop gap.

I heard that podcast..it’s a fair concern. I also hear talent evaluators saying they would rate him higher than Mendoza. He didn’t look good against Indiana. I also remember Marino had a rough senior year at Pitt, and the Jets passed on him and the Jets ended up with Ken O’Brien. I see that the QB from Nebraska transferred to Oregon. Not sure if that means that Oregon knows that Moore is leaving or it’s just insurance.

It’s hard to have a strong opinion about where to draft quarterbacks when it seems to be such a crapshoot. Shough and Purdy are two recent examples of talent evaluators totally missing the mark. I will say…the careers of Glenn and Mougey hang in the balance with what they do with the qb position.

If Moore doesn’t come out (or maybe even if he does) I can see them signing a Willis type…and trading back into the first round to get Simpson. Simpson also doesn’t have many college starts..but he is older. Use their own first round picks…then maybe offer up their 2s to get back into the first round to draft him. They can evaluate him for a year then decide if they need to take another look at qbs in the 2027 draft when they have 3 first round picks.

Whatever they decide…we know one thing…it will be the wrong decision. Cause…they are the Jets.

Didn’t Cousins openly mock the Jets when he admitted he used them to get a better contract elsewhere? Would Woody just forget about that?

I didn’t know that. I do know he is one of the highest paid QBs that’s accomplished nothing so I’m sure he’ll follow the money at this point no matter who it is.
 
guys which do you think happens first

  • UConn makes it to the CFP
  • Jets make it to the super bowl (not even win, just MAKE it)

QB Moore opts against draft, returning to Ducks

Oregon QB Dante Moore, who was projected as a top pick in the NFL draft, has decided to return to school for the 2026 season, he announced on ESPN's "SportsCenter."
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Dante Moore is going back to Oregon. Can't say I blame him.

Cheers to 2026 with Aaron Glenn as head coach and god knows who at QB.
Expand ...
Yeah….it didn’t sound like you wanted him anyway.

I guess now they try to get a Willis type. Maybe they can get Geno Smith…or Zach Wilson. Then draft a qb and hope.

Hard to imagine that 2026 will not only be bad but there will be little hope for the future.

Or as we call it in these parts…just another season bring a Jets fan.

The only two FAs worth considering are Willis and Mariota, who is still young enough at 30 to be more than a 2 year stopgap. The old guys are pointless. Pickett if they are tanking for 2027 and want to take a flyer.

If Spencer is there, I think they'll take him. I don't see anybody else going in round 1, but there are some guys who could turn out to be decent and wouldn't cost a 1st. Mateer and Nussmeier are worth a day two pick and could surprise. Pair one of them with Pickett and if nobody pans out you've got picks again next year.

That seems like that makes sense. I assume you mean Simpson?

The question is…do you think Simpson is worthy of the #16 pick or do the jets trade up to back in the tail end of the first round? I am not sure I think he is top 20 worthy. But who knows.

Yes, Simpson. He will be gone in the top 5.

hmmm. i know teams get desperate for qbs…but i am not sure he is top 5. he still has very few starts and crapped the bed at the end of the season. but…there are few qb options out there and someone may talk themselves into drafting him high.

So…the Patriots have Vrabel and Maye. The Giants have Harbaugh and Dart. The Jets have Glenn and….Brady Cook?

Great time to be a Jets fan.
