Im officially on the Cousins, Barkley, OL wagon for the offseason!
There are a bunch of RBs who will carry 2nd round grades- Harris, Jones, Love, Chubb, Johnson, Guice. I like Harris the most. Harris and Chubb can be viewed in the college playoff action.
Ziggy Ansah is a free agent, I think. If so, the Jets might want to target him.
I like Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield. I hope Sam Darnold comes out and the Giants or Browns take him. He is almost certainly going to be good, but I don't know if he will be great.
The Jets coaching staff got career years out of Fitzpatrick and McCown but didn't do much with Petty and did nothing with Hackenberg. The lack of developing a youngster- is that on the coaching staff or the actual two players in this case? Is it possible Petty and Hackenberg suck and will always suck?
I figure the Jets have to decide on the draft in the next two months. If none of the college guys impress them enough to draft at 6 overall and/or they just don't want to go that route, then they have to find a new QB in free agency in March. Then you go from there.
It ultimately doesn't matter who the head coach is if the team doesn't have a good quarterback situation.
As for Bowles, I wanted Rex Ryan gone after the 2011 season and thought his comments during the press conference after the season finale in Miami (opposing head coach was Bowles) should have been the final nail in his coffin and he got three more years to wreck the franchise. So if you dislike Bowles, I can understand the angst about him not being fired. I was in this spot six years ago.
As for me on Bowles, I shared my opinion a few days ago. There are major issues with him calling the dogs off if the team is down by multiple scores. That said, aside from the Denver game, the incidents were in spots where the Jets had about a 5% chance to win. All Bowles did was change that 5% chance to 1%. When the Jets have been in games, they haven't done the weird punting stuff.
