Putting this out there now, do you resign him or not. Sure he is old as dirt and may be spent. Season is half over and they are still in limbo.

Options are few and far in-between. Few viable options going into 2025. What the hell are they going to do?

Opinions?

No. He's NFL old and he hasn't been much to even mildly offer a chance at winning. Play Plummer, see what he has in live action. Maybe he's OK, maybe not. If not, move on from all of them. I'm sure there's a practice squad QB somewhere with more of a live arm than we have now.

You start Dalton for the rest of the year.  Everyone is arguing Bryce vs Dalton, but here is my argument.

If you have decided that Bryce isn't it, and we have.  XL, Coaker, Sanders, and Mingo will not improve more learning along with Bryce's mistakes.  While Dalton is old, he is experienced and reliable.  He is the new Fitzmagic.  Fitzy was 39 when he retired.  If he isn't interested go after Gardner Minshew or Jamis Winston.  Shoot, you never know, maybe fixed Sam Darnold could be in play. (not really) We have been on a run of red-headed QB's!

Trade back from number 1, collect an extra 2nd round pick and grab Drew Allar or even Connor Weigman and have him sit a year or two.  Build the defense in FA and the draft. Getting DB back, adding a stud EDGE from the draft and FA depth signings need to happen before we think QB.

BC isn't looking half bad at center, AC may want to come back at a discount.  I've decided that Icky plays better everyone not named Bryce Young.  OL is pretty solid.  Got to look for Moten's replacement in the late rounds.

I would have agreed 3 weeks ago, but it's not as if Dalton has played well recently either.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
