A great example of why a team should tank if there is a great talent coming out in the Draft who will go #1 overall and it’s clear they aren’t going anywhere. If the Jets hadn’t have won an absolutely useless, pointless game against the Browns in 2020, they’d have Lawrence right now instead of Wilson.
But hey, at least they’ll have that W against Cleveland two years ago to remember as yet another QB ends up being a bust for them.
This is beautifulThe busts don't simply get picked by the Jete. The Jete can take a perfectly capable QB and destroy them - set their careers back years with bad habits, Front Office instability and lack of general accountability.
The Jete don't pick a bust, they mold it. Some years they take tried and true Ryan Leaf retreads (who prefers 'higher mileage' models, allegedly), other years they throw a Geno Smith (looks serviceable in SEA) into the dysfunction to get his jaw broken by some practice team line backer.
Every bust has it's own mix of tragedy and comedy. This iteration seems to be one for the ages, with off the field circus potential not seen since Mark Sanchez was coming down with Mono and getting photo'd dancing naked at an Irsay party.
Rumor has it Wrecks Ryan was too busy handling snack orders to handle reigning his young QB in. Each bust is like a snowflake, a disaster in it's own unique way.
Yeah, Geno was the 2nd QB taken in his draft class. Not sure West Virginia is a “second tier school,” but he completed 71% of his passes his senior year.Don't want to disrupt whatever point you were making, but he was a 2nd rounder, #39 ( Geno Smith - Wikipedia). I recall most draft analysts saying they were taking a flyer on a running QB from a 2nd tier school, whereas most Jete fans convinced themselves that their brilliant brain trust had delivered the next Joe Willy Namath and they'd be winning championships in no time flat.
Yeah, the Jests ruined Geno Smith as well… now he’s un-ruined.Pretty much a textbook example of how to ruin a rookie QB who is already prone to arrogance. Bring him in, tell him the job is all his, don't make him earn the job, or even demonstrate that he can operate the offense at all or perform at any sort of level of competence. In other words, SOFJ.
Posted this in the postgame thread, but it belongs here as well. For those anti-tanking people… food for thought:
What makes you think they’d be any better off having Lawrence instead of Wilson? They would just ruin Lawrence as they have ruined other first round quality QBs.Yep.

LOL, I see what you did there. Ska and punk are complementary and would make a formidable coach/QB combo. If you are going with Bim Saleh Bim you need to find a different name for Wilson. He's more yacht rock anyway so maybe Cabana Boy McMilfson would be better.After a thousand years of getting beat to hell by his teammates, fans and the media, Punky McMilfson apologies to the Jete for being a selfish, lazy, entitled little puke.
Of course, Bim Saleh Bim made a huge blunder subsequently reiterating that Punky is the "future of the franchise" and will play again this season. So, coach, how is Mike White supposed to feel about being a placeholder 'til McMilfson gets his head straight? What if White plays really well? SOJ.
