Dolfan in NYC Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 So... I've got a coworker who's a Jets superfan. Last week he was telling me how this was Zach's 'big test' and if he failed (lol) the Jets should trade for Kirk Cousins. ... I mean, I have to say, I almost felt bad for him. Then I remembered he told me "Knicks in 5" and "Denver didn't scare him" My reply was to nod, then tape this picture outside his cube Spoiler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Kirk Cousins would be the best quarterback of my lifetime if he finished the season without sending a picture of his dick to a reporter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 You'd have to get Cousins to waive his no-trade cause and there's just about no chance he agrees to do that to spend three months as a lame duck quarterback for that shit show in the middle of a contract year. Of course, that's not going to prevent all the Really Smart Football People™ online from speculating that it's going to happen for the next five weeks.

Brian Fowler Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 There's also Matthew Stafford speculation, but if I understand correctly, the Rams would eat just an absurd amount of dead money next year if they did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If your quarterback has received a second contract, he probably costs too much to get rid of in the middle of the season. If your quarterback doesn't cost too much, nobody wants that bum. Thus, the Jets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 If cut or traded before next season, he would have a $86.5 million cap hit in dead money. They can't realistically move on until after 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The only name I can think of that A.) Might be relatively easily available by the trade deadline and B.) Actually potentially help the Jets win is Ryan Tannehill. He's not played as well the last year+ as he did during the Titans really good stretch/when Henry was still nearly unstoppable but the Jets have a good running back and at least one good receiver. Plus Tennessee has both a rookie and an intriguing mid round second year guy at QB they might want to get a good look at if they fall out of playoff contention. But can Tennessee fall fast enough that it's still worth it for the Jets to trade anything of value for him? I feel like the Jets are at least as little to be out of contention by the deadline as the Titans are. Which means they're probably fucked.

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Man, I'm as big a Kaepernick supporter as you'll find, and yeah he got fucked over bad by the Shield, but it's time to let it go. He's been out of the league for almost 7 years. He'd get wrecked out there. That said, it's the Jets, and what the hell else do you have to lose? Anyway... on to things that matter...

I mean when they got Rihanna, the woman ain't released in album or new music in several years and been mostly making lingerie and cosmetics. Yeah, I think that's a pipe dream.

Brian Fowler Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Eh, they got The Weeknd pretty much at the height of his career. Bruno Mars if anything hadn't gotten to the peak yet. Beyonce had basically been on a decade+ non-stop peak. Gaga might not have been quite at her peak but she was only a few months after Joanne came out and was a pretty damn big success. Katy Perry was between album cycles but both the one before it and the one after it were big successes. Usher is more in line with with Dre and company a couple years ago and even the post-nipple parade of aging rock stars. (Which I really liked several of those.)

Log Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Have you seen what Swifties do to the ticket sales of her events? If she plays halftime, we'll have a stadium 3/4 full of people only there to see her. Actually, that would be kind of fascinating. Do they stay for the second half? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Usher is one of those cats that I respect the work ethic and talent, but I can't say I enjoy any of his music. Like I'm tapped out on "Yeah" for a life time. I'm sure most folks could say the same for Swift's Shake it Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
