RIPPA 33,822 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This could go in the college thread too but I am putting it here Trevor Lawrence has started dropping the hints that he will stay in school if the Jets have the #1 pick https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30203144/clemson-tigers-qb-trevor-lawrence-hints-staying-senior-season-rather-opting-nfl-draft Link to post Share on other sites
Dolfan in NYC 17,031 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Someone needs to tell him how *extremely* bad an idea this is for him. The sports talk people may say "oh that's smart." The actual NFL people are going to give him an instant demerit for it. "Can't handle the pressure of a big city/the NFL", "Soft", "Whiner" will all get him pushed down the list and ultimately cost him money. Don't believe me? Ask Josh Rosen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lawerence is good enough to not have it be that much of a strike against him, plus the owners and GM's of actual functioning franchises know the Jets are a total mess that should be avoided by any decent player. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

elizium 2,434 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The biggest concern would be if he gets hurt. Link to post Share on other sites
RIPPA 33,822 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yeah - any bad team is gonna be giddy if they get another shot at him (assuming he doesn't get hurt) Link to post Share on other sites

Somebody just signed Antonio Brown after threatening a woman's kids...they'll sign anybody not named Colin Kaepernick if they think he can play. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Dolfan in NYC 17,031 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Difference is AB was in the league for years and was at one point the unquestioned best receiver in the game. They signed AB at the league minimum (I think) and would cut him faster than you can imagine if he even breathes wrong. There's a difference between that and getting a guy who's never played a down in the NFL and doesn't want to play for a particular team. Link to post Share on other sites

And again it didn't hurt Eli or John Elway for that matter Of course there is also another big factor why those two (and Lawrence) would be able to get away with it 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Wilson 1,133 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 In theory maybe but in reality I've never seen a team care about that. Its not like the Jags would pass on Lawrence if he has an equally good year next year just because he passed on playing for the Jets the year before. But I think its likely just fake news, the injury risk wouldn't be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Fowler 15,293 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) I'm just going to point out that Peyton chose not to turn pro rather than be drafted by the Jets. Don't think it hurt him much. Edited October 28, 2020 by Brian Fowler 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Robert C 2,104 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This is the Jets we're talking about. There's no reason they can't pick first in 2021 AND 2022. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Lawful Metal 1,788 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Even on the bye week Texans can't avoid bad news: Not that Max has been playing (he should've been playing after being productive his rookie year and Kelemete being an absolute atrocity (not that any decent run blocking would help the corpse of David Johnson find holes)) but now we gon somehow lose to the Jags. I'm still shuddering to think what returns our Interim GM nee Pastor Easterby gets in trade for our best dudes. If he trades Watt I'm going to cry. (Unless it's for a 1st.) (probably still cry).
