Probably because she just has something to say and I am such a mindless drone that I will post any old thing that mentions his name as long as I agree with it
A mindless drone wouldn't have a position to agree with; they would just post mindlessly. So don't be so hard on yourself.
No, you're wrong, we mindless drones actually have a purpose, we are told what to think early on and then spend days and weeks doing nothing but carrying on that mission without actually understanding that there is another reality outside of what we were told and what we exist for. There could be a swarm of wasps killing half of our hive and we would still be telling everyone in the hive that this new bee makes great honey when he is exposed to a flower that is located on the other side of the planet
Once Todd Bowles and the Jets decided to visit Mariota in Oregon, I felt things got pretty serious. I don't think the Jets sell the farm for him though. They would be smart not to.
I was a little late getting there. That alone didn't make me think the Jets were interested. But that combined with Bowles later in a conference call saying the team was interested in adding another QB for competition confirmed it for me that if he was there at 6 they would pick him. Greeny's comment makes me think they would be willing to trade up at the right price.
A Sanchez like trade would be the end of the line if I were the GM. Dangle Snacks in a trade along with 6 and 2016 3rd rounder and see if they bite. Otherwise, it will be at least a 1st, and a 2nd this year. Hard for me to give up that 2nd round pick, cause the Jets need offensive line help badly.
I can't see the Jets getting him unless they trade all the way up to 2 and with what it cost Washington to go from 6 to 2 I don't see it happening. Not to mention if you believe the hype there are a hell of a lot more teams interested in Mariotta than there were in RGIII. Actually I think the Titans end up taking him themselves.
The fact that they have Hundley rated higher than Teddy Bridgewater casts their prediction scheme into great doubt.
His delivery and legs (especially) are both slower than muddy pond water on a cold November day. HEs a backup at best
Unless he becomes a better QB than Bridgewater. I don't know if they will be right about hundley but I like their analysis accounting for the defenses they played against/guys they played with... And since I could not agree more strongly on their analysis regarding Petty I already like it a lot
This thread is pointless because there's not even a chance he falls to 6. If the bucs don't select him, then the titans might. Even if the titans don't, there's about 4-5 teams entertaining trading up for him with the titans. If nothing happens at #2 (which is incredibly unlikely), the teams will start talking to the #4 pick with the raiders. This might be in fear that the redskins will choose him. If no teams trades at number 4, then the redskins might take Mariota. If they don't take mariota, there's still 2-3 teams that will want to trade with the redskins in fear that the Jets will take him at number 6. So basically, a million things have to be avoided for him to trickle down to number 6. It ain't happening, and if the Jets truly want him...they will trade up to number 2 before he can even fall to them.
That may be the case, but it's hard for me to have much faith in any formula that would have Hundley rated above Bridgewater.
Not if you go to the 4-3 defense, or find a replacement. Jets found Kendrick Ellis in the 3rd round a few years back. Snacks is only good at stopping the run, he is also good at eating space, but so are many other NTs. I don't think under any circumstances I would make a trade up, but then again I'm not the GM. I don't see Snacks being here for the long-term anyway.
