Corley is NOT a stud. He is slow RB who claims to be a WR. Terrible pick. The kid runs a slow 4.6. Linebackers , safeties, D-ends in the league all run faster than this. Just a terrible pick. The rbs taken , while fine players on film, as terrible picks also. Breece is the man and apparently Izzy is stinking hot garbage. Corley and the 2 rbs are TERRIBLE picks

JD has proven to be a quality GM. He has shown continued growth as he has matured in his role and the NYJ have a good pp guy evaluating and managing the team.

Meanwhile back in reality....this draft class ain't that great. The first 2 picks were solid and the developmental QB are all fine picks. Corley is a TERRIBLE pick. A slow RB pretending to be a WR is not going to translate to the NFL. The 2 rbs were completely unnecessary and wasted picks. The LB from UCLA is a slow stiff. The Canadian DB seems solid. This draft class is a solid C.

Exactly! You Jet fans are getting an outstanding player both on and off the field in Jordan Travis. Best wishes and Go Noles!
Its obvious to me that Joe Douglas is a solid GM if things dont work out with Saleh, I would still keep JD and give him another chance with a new HC maybe with more help in making that selection. JD picks well with an emphasis of what the coach is looking for(this goes back to even with Gase).

the fact that robert saleh thinks he can sit up there cheery and joyful after these 4 years is mind boggling. Make sure you let Joe pick the next HC.
“I’d like to be able to play a few good years here and then hand it right back off to zach and let him go for the next 15” -Aaron Rodgers, August, 2023. We had a chance to develop a QB with the exact same skillset, playing style and throwing motion as our HOF QB. After HOF QB coach Greg Knapp died and Zach didn’t get to learn from him we traded for Rodgers and we wanted Zach to develop under him. The Rodgers injury ruined everything. If Rodgers didn’t get injured, Zach would’ve been able to improve in the shadows without being thrusted in again with all the pressure. Even though we ran through over 15 different lineman because of injury, which is unprecedented, he still outplayed guys like mahomes, allen, hurts, wilson, stroud(in the rain). He was scapegoated by the media and fans anyways. Zach deserved to sit and develop under Rodgers like we originally planned. After he has a Geno Smith/ Drew Brees career resurgence under Sean Peyton, and after Aaron Rodgers walks away we should sign him back to a contact. Sounds crazy but after 2022 everyone was looking at Geno Smith as a potential free agent target. We ended up trading for 40 year old Rodgers because we looked at Zach as being the heir for the next 10+ years after him. We had a chance to develop Rodgers 2.0 the QB of the future and end the QB curse but we traded him for a bag of chips. The QB curse continues. It’s not only that multiple QBs have gotten injured for the season but coaches have also literally died to keep the QB curse alive. After Rodgers walks away after the super bowl and Zach has a Geno Smith / Drew Brees career resurgence under Seaon Peyton, and is a free agent, we should bring him home and resign him. “I’d like to be able to play a few good years here and then hand it right back off to zach and let him go for the next 15” -Aaron Rodgers, August, 2023.
I bet the JFM trade was heavily influenced by the kind of culture they have been building. It was best for JFM. The way they mentioned him as a man and father multiple times was awesome. We've got a full team and no one outside of round 2/3 would've made an immediate impact barring injury.... don't get me started lol. I understand the strategy and overall I'm happy with their decisions and mindset 💯

Last year out OL sucked but this year it felt like an Overkill at OL and also at RB positions. Could have spread it out a bit. Let's see. Hoping this turns out well.
Why ask about Zach......there was no way he was coming back...based on his play...nothing else....
Got too cute on day 3. It was ok, but could have been better. The one saving grace is the 2025 3rd rounder from Det. If Travis works out, then I'm dead wrong. Or if Hack somehow figures out how to use 2 powerbacks while featuring Hall, sure, I'm wrong.

We had a chance to develop Rodgers 2.0 the QB of the future and end the QB curse but we traded him for a bag of chips. The QB curse continues. It’s not only that multiple QBs have gotten injured for the season but coaches have also literally died to keep the QB curse alive. After Rodgers walks away after the super bowl and Zach has a Geno Smith / Drew Brees career resurgence under Seaon Peyton, and is a free agent, we should bring him home and resign him. “I’d like to be able to play a few good years here and then hand it right back off to zach and let him go for the next 15” -Aaron Rodgers, August, 2023.
