I’ll preface this by saying I want nothing to do with Ty Simpson as the Jets QB. However, Georgie absolutely dominated that line from start to finish and his elite receivers dropped balls all over the place today. Ryan Williams dropped a touchdown and Germie Bernard (as good as he’s been) dropped one as well. He was under siege today and he’s allegedly been dealing with a bad back injury for a month now. I know all these kids try but Simpson looked like the only dude that showed up today. Again, he’s a career Aaron Murray backup in the NFL IMO but today’s shitty showing wasn’t on him.
He went 42 - 0 as a starter in high-school and 14 - 3 in college at two high profile schools, including a Heisman trophy to his resume. He's not a "winner?" What else you need as proof? A Super Bowl?! (Good luck getting one of those! Oh wait, we did with Bret Favre, Joe Flacco x2, Aaron Rodgers....) It's OK not to like him for other reasons, but coming into the League, bro was the definition of someone who won A LOT of games.
Mendoza locked himself in as first overall pick. Someone will trade up. Hopefully not us. Great night for the kid though.
Fair enough (though I could give two shits about his high school record) But it hasn’t translated to the NFL
Agreed I love players who come up big in big games when it matters, especially as opposed to players who come up small in big games (*cough*vernon gholston*cough*) That’s the first and (so far) only game of Mendoza’s that I’ve watched but he looked pretty damn good to me…came up huge with some deep throws on third and short situations too, which shows a lot of confidence in him and in his HC. I haven’t watched nearly enough to have any kind of informed opinion, so not saying I’d trade up for him, but if he were there when we are on the clock I’d probably say take him. Again, only watched this one game but dude came up huge in big moments against a legit Ohio State team. That’s impressive
