Some great points there. Imagine how bad the Vikings would look if Keenum went to Denver right away, then the Jets make Cousins an offer he can't refuse, and Bridgewater ends up on Arizona. The Vikings would be royally screwed and would be forced into trading for Foles or drafting somebody in the very late 1st.
Schefter is saying Keenums agent is going to try to strike a deal fast, before Cousins which might force the Vikes to sign him, since he is their plan B.
Give Keenum 3 yr....50mill (18 guaranteed)..then draft QB at 6, no reason to bring 39yr old McCown back as a 7million dollar coach-stopgap....if Keenum is more than a 1 yr wonder, we can let the rookie develop.....
Keenum has been a bad backup until this year. Paying what he's going to want based off one year of good play would be very Jetsy. I'd like to think we've moved on from the Tannenbaum-era mistakes. And again, by the numbers, McCown wasn't that much worse then Keenum.
Why? If you’re drafting a QB at 6 no need to waste any significant money on a FA QB. That’s just absolutely silly. Not to mention why in the world would Keenum sign to be the one year mentor. He has to absolutely cash in on his one great season. Sorry, but nothing about this make any sense for the Jets, Keenum or the 6th pick QB.
I seriously don't see how any Jets fan would want Keenum after just going through Fitzpatrick and McCown. He is the exact same, just younger. And he completely collapsed in the playoffs last year. If not for one of the luckiest plays (and worst defensive plays) ever, he doesn't even win a home playoff game.Not to mention the team around him was one of the best in the NFL. He would be a major bust for the Jets. A rare option where I actually prefer McCown.
I think I knew that, but I was in a discussion about rookie contracts and the 5th year option. I went to a website to research it and they gave examples of what players drafted in 2014 would make if the 5th year option was exercised. Looking back, it was probably outdated as far as who was recently resigned to new contracts. Sorry if there was confusion.
If we draft a QB, the only other guys we should look at are Bridgewater and McCown. Yeah, McCown may win the starting job, but who cares, he is on borrowed time and we know his role on the team. he isn't meant to be the savior. Bridgewater would be more of a risk, but would be perfect to push the rookie to win the job.
First of all, I've got to say how much I like Willie. Loved him as a Jet. He's all about no BS excuses, just results. If we had 53 guys with his attitude, we would be SB champs. He was asked tonight if the Jets will sign Kirk Cousins? His response was, "Yes. Because Bowles needs to save his job." It didn't look like he even approved and went on to say he thinks the Jets should draft a QB. Doesn't this prove signing Kirk Cousins isn't about doing what's best for the NYJ, it's about saving paychecks? This move shouldn't be about some selfish, incompetent HC trying to continue getting the big bucks. This should be about building the team to be winners. Like I said already signing Kirk Cousins is a knee jerk, desperation move to save Mac and Blowes job. This has never been about the NYJ.
Yep..I've worried this would be the case ...desperate duo of Mac and Blowes at it again Why Is it that 70 per cent of TGG has fallen for KC and bought right into this nonsense????? Chasing a 16th Ranked QB like he is Tom Brady ...just stupid
What you see as attitude, I see as a guy who was not in control of his emotions. This guy was a human penalty machine: Illegal motion, unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct, illegal hands to the face, taunting, fighting......you name it, Willie did it, and often. How many offensive drives did he stop with his stupid penalties? Was glad to see him go. Not saying what he says won't happen, but I don't put much stock in what he says.
I’m not a big Bowles guy or even a little but I won’t believe anyone telling me he doesn’t care about winning and is making moves without that being the ultimate goal. I think both Mac & Bowles believe Cousins is there guy. Adam Schein was saying he has been the goal since last offseason and they have been making moves like freeing up space & hiring Bates to get him. Only time will tell if it’s the right move if they do get him but I can’t believe the goal to win is not the ultimate factor.
one ex players speculation doens't mean anything. If we listened to what players said, we'd have headaches trying to figure out what robbie anderson is tweeting about. also on the flipside if you care about players, von miller, and emanual sanders have been recruiting cousins hard saying he's the QB to lead them to a superbowl.
