Thread: Jets Week!

If they're not going to play Driskel, it has to be Rypien. He knows the system far better than Bortles does at this point. If they play Bortles, it's because they really are trying to lose this game.

Tough to win on a Thursday when a team is good. I think they lost 3 straight to the dog ass Jets?

I don’t think I can stomach another Driskel outing after today. Rypien, Bortles, whoever. All just placeholders until Lock gets back.

Thank god for the short week to get this over with. If we win or lose whatever, the mini-bye after Thursday will give whatever backup more time to prepare while we wait on Lock. At this point I just want Lock back ASAP so we can see what we have and what direction we have to go. In my head, we got a preseason after all and its the first 4 games of this ruined season.

This team badly needs a win. Whether it is Gase or Fangio, whoever loses is looking at the hot seat. I would not sleep on Sam Darnold.

Offensively, the team needs to get the ball out quickly, and Shurmur needs to have routes in place for the quarterback to dump the ball off to. The play Lock got hurt on, there was no quick inside route being run, so all Lock could do is try to extend the play with his legs or go down. 2nd half against the Steelers there was an adjustment, but then this week Driskel wasn't anticipating reads. A solid short-passing game kills the blitz.

Nada.

And I am going to kick myself in the ball saying this, but I hope we start Blake Bor.....I hope we start Blake Bo. Ok, get it together UR. Blake Bortl.

Blake Brtls. There I said it.




But Rypen sucks. Jeffe is bad too. Bortles can at least read a d and throw. He sucks. We need Drew back, but for now we are better off with balake.

at this point, i don't care at all who they start. . . horse shit, dog shit, cow shit. . . what's the difference?

Bortles should have been the guy we signed this off-season. Or Kap or Cam or someone with legit starting experience. I'm not sure how Driskel was the best we could do for a backup QB. All 3 of those guys have better resumes and could have been had at or near league minimum.

You might have a point with Bortles.

I think it was money, honestly with the other two. My speculation is Cam took less than he was demanding to play in New England. Elway isn’t going near Kaepernik.

Yeah those two probably were unlikely, but I just don't see how Driskel got signed and Bortles didn't this off-season. Dude wasn't that bad in Jax. He wasn't great, but he should be a top tier backup level player.

It’s possible Bortles didn’t sign because no one was offering a starting spot so he and his agent decided to wait for a situation like this.

What kind of money did Bortles get?

Little under 900k I think.

912k and none of it is guaranteed.
