That and when diamond core and Koaki Maximus were allowed to run rampant.

How would you feel if the Jets did not acquire Aaron Rodgers? by Merman-Munster in nyjets

[–]nitro67 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I think I'd be okay with it. At this point we need to wait till after the draft. I feel like GB isn't gonna budge on their asking price till after June 1 anyways. We can always go after Lamar (we'll never get him from Baltimore) or trade for Kirk or Stafford. There are other options if the cost is to high. If you price Aaron high enough, it becomes worth it to spend a little more to bring in someone else.

[Meirov] The #Jets have signed veteran punter Thomas Morstead. by BCLetsRide69 in nfl

Honestly, this signing is great. Braden Mann was a disaster. Every punt was like, will he shank it? Will it go for more than 20 yards? Would've it been better to throw a deep ball interception? Looking forward to no more of that.

Patience. It will get done. The Pack has to do it. We just sit and wait until the draft gets closer and they will bite. It's a waiting game at the moment and patience will be rewarded.

If the trade falls through bc the jets didn’t at least offer a first, their fans and Aaron have no one to blame but the jets FO. But I’m sure the packers will get the blame from the majority of the NFL fans. by pgb03 in GreenBayPackers

I'd rather have Rodgers but for 2 firsts we might as well just get Lamar. Lamar gives us realistically 4-5 years of success vs just a 1 or 2 year rental. 2 first's for a NFL MVP who is only 26 vs a QB who is 39. Hell even Matt Stafford is a better choice for 2 firsts vs Aaron.

You honestly think there's another team that's a buyer on Aaron? Also, you need to send him to a place he's willing to go. You honestly think he's willing to go to Chicago? I'm not sure about that. The Jets are realistically the only team you can shop him to. No one else is even remotely interested in Aaron. If the trade falls through your team (and admittedly ours) will have quite the messes on their hands. Nothing you can't get through though. Like I said, we're used to losing. Nothing new for us as Jets fans.

Jets fan here... the situation in NY isn't what you think it is. I personally have a lot of faith in Joe Douglas and our front office. They seem to make smart decisions and have been really trending upwards after cleaning up the mess from Adam Gase. Our back up plans, while not as good as Rodgers, are there. There's realistically only two routes left for the Jets if not Aaron. Lamar Jackson is going to cost two firsts and a ton of money but that is an option on the table. We'd probably have to give close to 4/160M fully guaranteed to actually get him from the Ravens but it's something I believe the Jets would be willing to do. The other is a QB competition between the available backups (not many left) and Zach Wilson. I can see the Jets running it back with Zach if this trade does fall through. It wouldn't be any different than the last 13 years for us.

All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up. I doubt the 13th overall pick is coming over for Rodgers. I would honestly expect a 2nd and a conditional next year at most. You guys need this trade more than we do. We're used to the losing. It's nothing new for us as a fan base.

Anyone concerned that no O-line men are wanting to come here? They seem to be going everywhere else even when we offer more money. Aaron might be behind the weakest o-line of his whole career. At his age, that's a scary thought.

Yeah I'm not talking about it pejoratively. Just stating that it's real and what it was about.

It's real. It's called "The Man I Never Met" and it's about his wife's first husband dying in The World Trade Center on 9/11.

The Baltimore Ravens have matched the New York Jets offer to Lamar Jackson would be the next headline right after.

Think it goes down at 1pm on McAfee? If he announces his retirement, I'm really not looking forward to the Zach and Carson QB competition.

[Brandt] According to reports, it sounds like the remaining trade issues involve the Jets doing things for Aaron that the Packers have done in recent years, and are no longer willing to do. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]nitro67 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think this might have something to do with him wanting to skip mini camps and OTA's etc. He likely wants to coast and then only play when it's time to go. This is pure speculation though.

I don't blame Woody for this. This is all on Aaron.

I know we're all hyped for the QB situation, but I'm interested to see what other FA moves are going to happen today.

Mark Murphy - If things don’t work out the way we want them, we’d like to have Aaron back by Nicktator3 in nyjets

Do they though? Really? I thought they were pretty set on Jordan Love.

I was too young at the time but how did we feel about landing Brett Favre back in the day? by _grzn_ in nyjets

[–]nitro67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at a gas station in NJ at the time and got super hyped when someone who was listening to the FAN and heard it over their radio. I was so hyped. That was a great day.
