Read a few articles sayin the midgets are sniffin around MO, would you take the 10th overall and maybe try and snag Wentz or Goff?
I think I would jump all over that.

When a QB comes along he will dictate how worthy of a high pick he is, problem is others may be in a better position to grab him until then fill the stable with possibilities.

Jets are in a win now mode and should add offensive playmakers. The chemistry that was developed should not go to waste on offense. Year 2 in the playbook under Gailey will build on last season, and could be better. Petty learning under Gailey and Fitz is perfect. (keep Gene one more year $$) If we draft a QB, should be later if at all. We also need to get the running game fine tuned. They have to run the ball better, no question about it. How stuff shakes out will determine everything. I'd just hate to see the offense not improve. How are we in a "win now" mode? Compared to who? The Dolphins?

Plug in a LB, RB, WR, TE, and above average QB, could = Win mode, just not the SB.

We have a good mix of vets and youth that won 10 games last year with a new system on both sides of the ball. Plus a 1st year coach that won't tolerate losing. I'm not telling anyone what they already know. As fans the Jets have a huge following from SBIII and baby boomers wanting one more SB victory on our bucket list, before we die. Every year is a win now mode! lol Times a surely waste'in. btw $uck the dolphins. I really believe we have the right people in charge. Mac is going to have one hell of an off season. He could go in a lot of different directions, but when its time to kickoff the 2016 season the Jets will be a better team. So just for this year I would risk that we already have the QB of the future and draft some offense. This kid from Pitt we picked up, Archer is interesting. Peebag, you watched SBIII live didn't you?

Let's face it, Fitz had a career year last year. Can we expect him to do it again? I hope so. But he is not the future of the franchise and Mac certainly wants a franchise QB to lead the team into the future.
I happen to like Petty but none of us has any idea what we have in him. The team may like him too but he won't prove anything until when and if he gets into a game. So unless they are convinced that he is the future, I say we have a backup plan.
I think one of the consensus big three QBs will make it past the top 10. I personally think all three of them are worthy of moving up to get. So I would have no problem seeing the Jets trade up to get him.
I think Lynch is the one that gets out of the top 10 and I would love to see us get him.

Draft a QB until we find the right one. I don't think the Jets know whether Petty is the right one. So keep drafting.

If there is a guy we like still on the board at our pick, then I agree with those who have said we should draft the QB. I hope Petty is the answer, but I am not willing to stake the next 5 years of this franchise on a 4th round pick and a journeyman veteran. I would have no problem if we took one of the top 3 guys (Wentz, Goff or Lynch) at 20. Or if we took a a guy like Hack or Jones a bit later.
We are in a perfect position (if we re-sign Fitz) to finally develop a young QB. Maybe its Petty, maybe its not, but I don't want to put all our eggs in that basket.
And, for the record, we have pretty much been drafting a QB per year, taking 4 in the last 5 drafts -- we just haven't gotten the right guys: McElroy in 11, Geno in 13, Tajh Boyd in 14 and Petty in 15.

Drafting a QB early makes 0 sense when you already have a team in place that can make some noise NOW in the playoffs. I'm talking about the next 1 to 2 years. Draft a QB in the later rounds is good, but not yearly as we have more immediate needs. The SB50 winning QB completed 13 or 14 passes. If we move up the Jets will probably go after an edge rusher. Bowles is about defense.

They believe he is the guy or they wouldn't have traded up. Still until that becomes reality you still have to pull the trigger on a QB. The Jets thought Geno and Clemens were potential franchise QBS and we all saw how that turned out.

we should definitely draft another QB in the early rounds. Drafting one late is and has been a waste of a pick, drafting one early actually gives us a better chance that he might actually turn into something. I'm not suggesting that we prioritize the position but if a QB is BPA then you take him. Petty has proved absolutely nothing other than he is a good soldier so far and cant have shown enough to say if he is the "future" yet. He may be showing some signs and there may be a positive vibe about him but you still take another guy in case you're wrong. Either you will wind up with 2 good QB's which is a problem the JETS have NEVER had lol in which case you have a very tradable commodity or you have saved yourself sometime because Petty wasnt the answer and we are already working on the next move. In a perfect move Petty sits, we draft some younger lineman so when he does get back there he wont be running for hie life.

The Jets should absolutely draft another QB. You'd have to be batshit crazy to stake your future on some 4th round project when there's maybe a 10% chance of him ever amounting to anything more than a career backup. You do know the audience you're talking with here, right? ![confused0085_zps83zuvwou](http://i.imgur.com/u4UbqX5.gif)

Read a few articles sayin the midgets are sniffin around MO, would you take the 10th overall and maybe try and snag Wentz or Goff? I think I would jump all over that. I'd take the 10th for Mo. Not sure if I'd use the pick on QB or not. I'd go BPA at #10....which could actually be a QB if someone like Wentz or Goff dropped, but I'd go BPA for sure. We could end up with a stud OLB or OT.

The Dolphins? lol We were actually in "win then" mode in Week 17. That ship has sailed. But I think teams are always in win now mode. Based on a 10 win season in Bowle's/Chan's/Fitz's first year here I think the Jets have to act as if it's win now. Revis, Mangold, D'Brick, Marshall, etc. aren't getting any younger.

Why would you make that move, lose a good player for an unknown I only make that move if I am almost certain to get a high potential Qb.
