I would’ve wanted him but I don’t think it would’ve been possible.
Ah yes…
I was banging the drum for him, but knowing NY coaching and media pressure he wouldn’t have survived his up and down rookie season
We would have screwed him up too
I swear, we gotta be one of the only franchises in pro sports where winning seasons feel like flukes and losing seasons are the standard.
They said Carr was the better option and downvoted for saying Lamar is a franchise QB cuz ‘*availability*’ only for the Achilles lmfaooooooo I hate the takes on this sub but man seeing them makes it almost karma-tic when the season tanks
The Lamar Jackson thing is so stupid. Ravens were never getting rid of him they just would have matched the offer.
Like as a free agent? He was never seriously available to any team.
Well… I mean it’s not like we had a say in it tbh
I was in the camp to trade everything for him
I’ll be honest as I think admitting you were wrong grows character, in the draft i didn’t want Lamar over Sam or Baker, and the after the first few years I saw some of his attitude on the sideline and away from football and I didn’t like it so I grew to not like him, but man he has come into his own, he seems to have matured as a character and person and he is an unbelievable talent and player.
We should have drafted him
Jets have been notoriously bad at drafting. We also thought it was a bad idea to get Marino so we took Kenny O.
Should have called the Ravens bluff, and threw the bag at him.
It didn’t matter, it wasn’t happening anyways. This is like complaining about the sub didn’t want Mike Tomlin.
He’ll suck on the jets anyway somehow
Wanted Mac to stay at 6 and take him
I frequent a Chiefs blog and remember the uproar when the organization didn’t try harder to trade up and draft Deshaun Watson and drafted Mahomes later in the first round.. lol
This is kinda dumb take tbh. You need a QB to be successful in the NFL. So the ravens are going to trade their MVP winning Qb who is about to enter his prime after completely changing the offense?
Let’s say we offered that guaranteed contract so we can ‘screw’ the ravens. Okay how does that not screw is over? Let’s say they don’t match it. Where does the money come from? Because he was franchised first, so that was what 35 million at the time? Plus we have to give them 2 first round picks. Yes we have young players but we didn’t have 35 million dollars plus chilling in cap space.
What about our offense? Who is the OC that is going to design an offense that plays to Jackson skill set?
How many players have been signed by other teams on a franchise tag? I can think of 1 in 2000. That was 24 years ago.
Thank goodness he’s my fantasy quarterback
I think most people who have been more than happy to get him, but I think koat of us also knew it wasnt a realistic option
Jets would’ve ruined him.
It was never gonna happen. He wasnt a free agent. Do you remember that?
That’s the reason you don’t take the sub seriously? Every post is ridiculous, just like the franchise.
I wanted the jets to draft him in 2018 Now who knows if he would’ve had the same success with the jets tho
Lamar Jackson was never an option because the franchise tag is a plague
What did the Jets have to offer LJ? They have a shitty owner, bad front office and a rat coaching staff. Why would LJ sign here?
Idiots
Should have given up 2 firsts and paid him 300m guaranteed
Not just this sub. The entire nfl declined to pursue him.
Whoops.
I also remember some of us, myself included, wanting Deshaun Watson before the allegations came out and he signed that god awful contract. Thank god we didn’t get him. That’s life as a Jets fan, ya win a few, ya loose a bunch.
Literally any team in the nfl could have drafted him
Jets had so much cap space. They could have made a huge offer and if the ravens matched then at least the jets raised the price on the ravens allowing them limited opportunity with cap space. Chess.
This is such a tired argument. Dude wasn’t available. Plain and simple.
Yeah that’s why you can’t have nice things.
He was never going any where, there is so many other things you could be whining about.
He’s no Zach Wilson
There is no reason to believe we would not have ruined him.
I did I just never thought it would happen so I didn’t wanna waste my time getting my hopes up for it (I did anyway)
