Every franchise needs a Franchise QB but if both Darnold or Rosen are off the board 1-2 there's no way you take 3rd or 4th options in Allen or Mayfield with the best player in all of college football sitting there in Barkley. An offensive culture changer who will dominate in north eastern brutal football climate. I personally believe these QB's have been hyped up & media driven since day one. Barkley on the other hand isn't. He's legitimately worth the #1 overall draft pick. Which makes the trade up to #3 from 6th a really sexy move up once Barkley is still there while Darnold and Rosen both gone. Macc has re-signed a veteran in McCown and he's also on the verge of kicking the tires on a younger Bridgewater. If an offensive game breaker in Barkley is there at 3. With both Darnold & Rosen gone 1-2. Barkley will become a Jet. And this franchise QB or not has not drafted an offensive weapon with Barkley's offensive ability since maybe, forever. Because not even Keyshawn Johnson of then was a once in a generational talent as is Barkley of 2018. He's more than "just a RB". He's the next face of a Franchise. A 3 down back that can not only dominate both rushing and and receiving out of the backfield but also pass protect, change field position and score TD's within a blink of an eye. The best athletic ability combined with field vision since maybe Barry this kid is disgusting. We all pray for a FQB but if both Darnold and Rosen are both gone @ 3 then Barkley is the pick because as a G.M you'd be an absolute idiot to take Mayfield or Allen over SAQUAN BARKLEY. An idiot to pass up on a potential H.O.F back to build your offense around and yes, pair alongside of your next FQB once the opportunity presents itself.
Once again, YOU ONLY MOVE UP IF YOU LIKE AT LEAST 3 OF THE QBs. No one ever moves up for a God damn RB, especially without a FQB in place. Get over it, we're NOT taking Barkley. One of Darnold/Rosen/Allen/Mayfield will be a Jets player in three weeks.
He's literally obsessed with Barkley, it's really sad to see honestly. Everyone and their mother knows we're 100% taking a QB. Even our God damn owner implied as such.
Also, for all the Barkley worshipers, it's not a coincidence that Teddy's contract sets him up to be cut before the start of the season and this was the best contract he got. His knee will forever be fucked up, and he very likely will never be the same player again. In no shape or form was Teddy ever signed as a long-term answer. He's more so a cheap lottery ticket purchase.
Gotta take a risk sooner or later if you don't have a FQB. I wanted the Jets to take Mahomes last year, but they went with the safer pick instead. You're right, I don't have a clue if any QB in this year's draft will become a FQB, but it is possible to make educated guesses on why each QB can or cannot become a FQB.
Teddy's knee may never be the same but Rosen has already suffered multiple concussion head injuries with trauma to his brain. Mayfield has already suffered two head concussion's (that we know of) during the same game (and refused to tell his coaches). Both Rosen & Mayfield's brains could already be damaged goods and both could have short lived NFL careers due to one or two blind shot head shots. Once again if Darnold & Rosen are drafted 1-2 you'll be a clueless tool to draft a project QB with height concerns from a spread offense in Mayfield & multiple concussions or an Allen from Wyoming with questions in regards to his accuracy and/or how he'll do against elite NFL defenses. You don't draft Mayfield or Allen over Barkley. And i don't think Macc will either.
You do when you've given up three 2nd round picks to move up to the 3rd pick. Not that I'm rooting for this, but Barkley could tear an ACL in the preseason and never be the same player again.
Well. Well. Well but he hasn't suffered an ACL injury yet. Mayfield & Rosen on the other hand? Both have already suffered multiple head injuries due to concussion(s) with trauma to their brain. And that's without ever tasting an NFL head shot just yet.
This is all just a bunch of what ifs that can easily apply to Barkley. Face the music, we made the move up for a QB, and I hope you will support whoever it is.
Where the hell did you get ACL from? And I can name you several successful NFL QB's that may have suffered a concussion or two in college. Your logic is obviously geared to try and sway your head to take Barkley, but it's just not happening. Please support our FQB selection later this month.
One of your prime arguments for Barkley was that Teddy could be an answer for us, but now you admit it likely will never be the same? Come on dude, I know you're better than this.
It's not even close. If we had a FQB in place, I would 10000% be on the Barkley train. However, since we clearly do not have one, drafting a RB before the FQB would be the dumbest move a GM could ever make.
Which successful NFL QB's suffered MULTIPLE Concussions before being drafted into the NFL? I'd like to see a top 10 list if you don't mind...
I'm not currently home, so I'm not going to spend time on my phone trying to find an entire list, but I didn't forget how you literally skipped over all of our counter-arguments. Your argument is all about what if's, which equally apply to Barkley. Face the music and wise up, we're taking a QB. Either support him or continue to be in denial.
Jets want Rosen or mayfield figuring Darnold is gone. We are guaranteed one of these guys period. Jints won’t pick mayfield so he will definitely will available. Just a question what we do if Rosen is there also. Besides we don’t need a rb. We have 5 on the roster. Not that it mattered if we had 4 fullbacks. We ain’t drafting Barkley. Silly thread but I am hooked. Such an easy place to say NO. Really really silly
Ehhhh, I think Barkley is pretty special, but in no universe do you take a RB over a FQB when you trade up. Not to mention the shorter life span of a RB and how injury prone the position is as well. All a moot point as you've stated regardless.
Didn’t say he’s not special but is a gonna be a hall of fame rb? Is He’s he the best rb coming out of college in the last 20 years.
