No doubt, he will be another one that we let escape, then again every team let him escape multiple times, it was a shock that the Browns took him after taking the other one earlier in the draft.
I wonder if he would have even gotten a chance to really compete for the job had we taken a chance on him once he slipped. The new staff has seemed pretty locked in on the idea of rolling with Fields as the starter from the moment they got here.
I gave you the Glenn quote; you even gave back the "pencil" part. The messages were far from identical - almost 180 degrees apart. Mougey basically said the job belonged to Fields; Glenn said no one gets handed a job - they need to earn it. There is no reason to believe the general manager makes decisions on who plays in today's Jetland.
I'm simply not going to give credence to any discussion about Sanders after playing the first preseason game. Seriously people?
Relax I’m not crowning him. I said he looked good, I wish he was in our QB mix since we could’ve had him for nothing. I also feel the same about Jalen Milroe, who looked good for Seattle despite being drafted late and could be also providing some interesting competition right now. The two 5 rounders we actually took last night made little impact
This is all back in March, before training camp. I get it that it's written in pencil, things can always change, people can lose starting jobs, etc... That is clear without saying even and happens all the time. But that IS in fact the situation as BOTH said in March: Fields is the starter, Tyron on his heels. They are exactly on the same page. https://x.com/ZackBlatt/status/1906674287328498121 https://steelersdepot.com/2025/03/j...-starter-but-tyrod-taylor-right-on-his-heels/ Glenn: " Aaron Glenn on Justin Fields being the starter: "Just because you're 1 on the depth chart, that's all written in pencil. Just because he's QB1 doesn't mean Tyrod won't be on his heels.". Mooge: "Jets GM Says Justin Fields 'Is The Starter', But Tyrod Taylor 'Right On His Heels'." They are using SAME EXACT wording even. If this to you is 180 degrees apart, we need to move on. This to me is a little crazy, but I've seen worse. People believe what they want to believe no matter what. Others will decide for themselves.
This is just going around in circles here - the question I first posed to you was "How 'reasonable' is it for Faria to say 'When the New York Jets signed quarterback Justin Fields to a two-year contract during the 2025 offseason, the organization made it clear that the former first-round signal-caller would not go through a competition to earn the starting job'" Yes, my quote and all of yours from four months ago all said basically the same thing. So, even having typed in those comments above more than once you really believe Faria was correct that "the organization made it clear...(Fields) would not go through a competition to earn the starting job"? No one quoted said that. What about keeping the job? Has the depth chart now been written in bold Sharpie. or still pencil, with plenty of erasers on the table?
Nobody in an ideal world. We or I am hoping that a switch is gonna flick in his head and it will all click into place, if not, we're fucked for another year or more.
