I think by the Monday night game Albert O is either active or released. He's on the last year of his deal so no sense in carrying him all year to keep inactive

Curious what the trade conditions are also since both were conditional picks. That probably doesn't give him a long leash.

The phrase "inmates running the asylym" is a known expression that has zero connotations of what people who want to get angry get angry about.

It'd be like an animal lover getting all pissy about someone using the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" "What, you want to kill a bird with your hands? How terrible! You should be fired!"

He said prison, not asylum. Deandre Hopkins walked out of practice. How your message is perceived is important. If it were just one or two people that were offended, that'd be one thing, but when so many players, including ones on his own team, react so negatively to what was said, maybe the message wasn't crafted as carefully as it should've been.

I mean Rodgers did win back to back MVPs with him as the OC. 

 

Just realized it Ruiz with this Tweet, dude is a clown.

"Inmates running the asylum” is an idiom/figure of speech. He wasn’t calling his players prisoners, he was making a metaphor of surrendering leadership.

It was an off color remark, but he wasn’t telling guys to go back to Africa like Trotter is accusing.  

I'm not saying McNair's comments are as bad as Pegula's, only that there's already an example of an owner saying something incredibly stupid publicly, who no doubt has said far worse privately. The original contention was that Trotter's accusation was not credible on its face because "no owner would be that stupid to say that because he'd lose the team." Well, McNair came pretty damn close to losing the team while publicly saying something without a direct reference to race, but still very much in a context with racial connotations. I don't think his players think swapping in prison for aslyum was an honest mistake.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I think Carson Wentz is the right move for the Jets.  I’m no Wentz washer, as I was one of his biggest critics in his time here.

The talent is there.  Wentz was stubborn, not lazy.  He was so talented he never learned to make adjustments and just forced it with his patented hero ball.

But he was always pretty good when surrounded with actual talent and targets.  A humbled Wentz willing to play within the system and to situationally flex the talent and big arm…on a very talented Jets team.  
 

It could fail spectacularly.  But if im a Jets fan, that’s the only option with the upside to contend.

I completely agree

I get what you're  saying, but he's Rodgers and he also had an offensive HC.  That's like attributing Mahomes' success to Bieniemy. Except worst because Hackett tried running a team without Rodgers and failed miserably.

Correct he is Rodgers and if he wanted him as the OC then why say no with success they had. 

Its a dumb take by clown Steven Ruiz who had Hurts as the 10th best QB in his rankings.

Nathaniel Hackett crashed and burned as a head coach, but he’s probably not all that bad as a coordinator.  I think Russell Wilson was a big part of the problem.  I also think it will be difficult for Zack Wilson to look worse this year than he did last year.

Hackett had OC jobs in BUF and JAX before he ever got to GB; he's a qualified OC.  Is he one of the league's best?  No.  But it's a dumb take to say he's "somebody's friend"

I think it's a figure of speech about not just surrendering leadership but surrendering leadership to people meant to be controlled.  It's at the very least an antiquated view of best business practices. It's not as if players are not interested in the success of the NFL and teams.  

Can Jets trade their 1st now that Rodgers won't play 70% of the year?

That's understating it by a fair bit.

I think it still has to technically be conditional. Trade 1st if not conveyed. We all know it won't, but just for the compliance with the language.

Yeah I disagree. Hackett had success with Rodgers so it makes sense they brought him in sure. It's also reasonable IMO to point out that he has not shown himself to be a particularly impressive offensive play caller without Rodgers/Lafleur and now that he's gone for the season there's a very real chance that they end up with a below average QB and OC. 

Let me put it this way, would you have been excited to bring him in as Steichen's replacement this year?

They added a solid run stopper to go with Cunningham in Evans.

On passing downs, probably move Edmunds to nickel LB/S, he's 217 lbs so it's not like you're giving up a lot of size but you add speed and coverage ability (relative to most LBs, not most safeties).

Rodgers isn't on the Eagles. If Rodgers who won back to back MVPs with him as the OC wants him then you get him. Period end of story. 

Aaron Rodgers is in the top echelon of QBs to play the game and if he feels comfortable with him then you get him. This was ultimately, Rodgers offense who i bet was calling audibles to make adjustments anyhow 

Easy to look back and now say we stuck with a Top 5 worst QB to play the game and an OC that isn't elite

These posts are lit.  

I know I'm late to the party, but can we start saying LOLJets yet?
