The Colts 'lucked' themselves into back to back elite prospects too even if it didn't work out on the backend. The 49ers as well with Montana and Young. While only having one superstar, the Chiefs have had pretty good QB play for the past 20 years from Trent Green to Smith to Mahomes. It's possible although difficult to do.
Awesome. Bears have had 1 elite QB (Sid Luckman) in the last 100 years. Choosing examples from the extreme outliers doesn't mean anything at all.
The Jet's drafting has been horrific for about 10 years or so until last season. That's the main problem.
Damn. Thats the blueprint right there. Its not easy but it is simple. Just keep picking good player after good player. Also, Mr. Abyzmul is killing it in this thread imho. All of us Jets fans would do well to read a couple of those posts and reflect deeply.
oh yes I’m sorry mate the Jets made this one rare mistake 3 years ago and I’m just crying like a baby thanks tell your mom you need a later bed time in 2021
Agree and pray you’re right I’m actually excited but also need to make these threads to remind fans how incompetent the Johnsons are
Yep I’m not saying I DONT want the next FQB like Montana, Rodgers, etc . Of cOURSE I do. im saying you can’t let that dream blind you from building a great roster. Additionally, a FQB alone, can result in disappointment. Ask Deshaun Watson, using a modern day reference. (There are 20 others but not going there)
No need to get offensive, I was just trying to cheer you up a bit after you brought up this downer from 3 years back. Who cares about the Bills, things are finally looking up for the Jets.
You can't attribute one rebuild to multiple GMs. The Jets have been in multiple stages of multiple rebuild attempts for the past 8 years.
Coming out I think he was described as boom or bust with the historical odds favoring the later option. I have to hand it to the Bills organisation and coaching staff for giving him the support and system he needs and Allen as well for the stunning improvements made to working on his fundamentals and in some alternate world where the Bills also owned the Jags pick they'd probably be one of the few teams looking to trade out. There's no doubt in my mind that at this moment in time he's a very good QB. Whether he can go onto being a great QB we won't find out for a few more years when they have to pay him and (short of amazing drafting) the supporting pieces start to diminish. I'd still not take him in a redo draft though as I don't see that massive improvement happening for him at Florham Park.
Very true, but I want to make a point that the rebuild doesn't start just now. It started last year with the Adams trade, one year deals, multiple player trades for draft picks, etc... This is the second year of the rebuild. The exact time in Buffalo rebuild process when they got Allen.
That may be true, but the state of the Bills roster when they drafted Allen was a wee bit different than the state of the Jets right now.
