Really? Fitz didn't hurt the team? How about looking at benefit instead of the cost. The term is value. What did Jets gain by signing Fitz to his second contract? What will Jets gain by signing McCown for 10 mil? I am not against signing McCown. I am against signing him to such a deal. Fitz deal was terrible and this one isn't any different.
I've still yet to see a way the Fitz contract hurt the team. And that was back when we had almost NO cap space. Simply put: whining over a QB taking 1/9th of your cap space is a little, no pun intended, petty.
That's not what I'm saying at all. Bringing Fitz back after bidding against himself wasn't Macc's finest hour. That Fitz choked away several games included the Buffalo game that was the Jets' best chance at a playoff since Ryan really hurt this team. We haven't sniffed a playoffs spot since. We have no hope now but to pray that McCown 2.0 isn't Fitz 2.0. Fitz's 2nd contract hurt because Fitz 2.0 came with it. I am not separating the financial costs from the results on the field.
Name the last QB, who wasn't all that good to begin with, to come back from 2 years off and be serviceable.
Teddy was average that was on the verge of a breakout year. How many QBs got injured the way Teddy got hurt? There isn't many. It was a freak non-contact injury in practice. Not many players are under that scenario.
Try another CB at 6... Macc is too scared to fuck up another QB pick so resigning McCown takes him off the hook. Now he can draft BPA-D and go 2nd tier on Qb's which gives him a out just in case his QB pick is a POS again. Fear is quite the motivator.
All I can add is, The McCown Bridge might be the longest bridge in the world.. Civil Engineers everywhere should study this modern marvel. I wonder what the EZPass fee will be...$10mil?
Why on earth would TBridge come to the Jets unless either: The cash is life changing or: The Jets are the team of last resort.
McCown and Bridgewater will bump into each other in the QB room and wind up on IR. Better draft that FQB Mac!
Oh my oh my oh my ...First week of FA and we witness a historic clusterfuck by Mac the Macdoodling No cousins...well that's a blessing Sign McGown ..well ok but 10 Mil ..meh ok if he tutors a QB from draft Sign Teddy B...for what ?? Shits and giggles? Buzarre announcing Josh M the starter..two insurance policies at QB ..brilliant...If we draft someone when will the Rookie start??? Prob never Well I've posted time and again I am thru here after 50 years of Fanhood ..if we don't move up and get a QB ...I was alone but now I think I'll have a Parade behind me.... FACE IT ..the only real answer to this mess was to draft a QB and other good players..and build it THAT way..no decent Vet with any talent will come here even with good $ offers
Yeah... I've entered the Apathetic Zone of Jet Fandom. Nothing really bothers me anymore as I don't expect anything from this team.
He will be the first!!!!!!!!And carry this team to 5 division titles and 6 Superbowls.He will also save two babies from a burning building and a women from a car fire.How dare you question the health of our captain and leader....
I’m starting to wonder if maybe this fell through and that’s why we signed McCown and told him he’d be the starter. Rumors turn into solidified reports pretty quickly. This one hasn’t.
