How could the Oregon-Indiana College Football Playoff affect the Jets' quarterback future?
New York football purposes and NFL football purposes is the more interesting night because you've got what could potentially be the first quarterback and the second quarterback taken in the draft. And right now, as we sit here with many months to go, that's the most likely scenario. Fernando Mendoza being the first quarterback picked who's playing for Indiana tonight. Of course, Heisman Trophy winner, number one team in college football against Dante Moore and Oregon tonight. And because Dante Moore so far has been firmly second behind Fernando Mendoza and the Jets have the number two overall pick and obviously have an opening at quarterback, these two guys have been linked, the New York Jets and Dante Moore.
So we will see how this shakes out, how the combine, if they throw, their pro days, all of that. But the discussion is going to be, and this is why it's so tough for these general managers to get it right when you're rebuilding. It's going to be, is Dante Moore going to want to come out and play for the Jets? I mean, and stuff like that does happen, by the way. I mean, we saw it just this two years ago with Caleb Williams, who ended up going to the Bears, but he did not want to go to the Bears. And his dad was trying to get him to go somewhere else. And they wanted to go to Minnesota with Kevin O'Connell. He didn't want to go to the Bears. Now, he ultimately went there, and look what they're doing now.
They got Ben Johnson. They won the division. But... There is a chance that Dante Moore says, I'd rather stay in school, get a little bit better, make $5 million, come back into the draft next year and hopefully find a better franchise. You know, I personally would tell the kid to stay in school. He needs to play more.
What are the implications of Dante Moore's potential decision to enter the draft?
And especially if Oregon's going to give him some money to stay. Yeah. You got to remember that. So the going rate for quarterbacks right now, top-end quarterbacks in college football, is like $4.5 to $5 million a year. So if he goes on and they are able to win the college football championship or just has a great game tonight. And even though if they lose, I still think he's a kid that I would think that Oregon would want to keep him. And I would think that he would want to stay, assuming that, you know, the money was significant enough for him. Because I still feel like he needs to play like if the Jets bring him here and they play him week one. My head is going to explode.
Why is Breece Hall's future with the Jets uncertain?
It's going to be the same thing over and over again. It's going to be Zach Wilson 2.0. The exact same situation. Now, I'm not saying that Dante Moore is going to be Zach Wilson, but as far as the inexperience, bringing a guy in who hasn't played a lot of college football, number two overall pick, missing out on the Heisman Trophy winner and the number one overall pick and all that stuff, it would be... Very, very similar. And I don't think it's crazy to say that if Dante Moore doesn't come out and the Jets have all these picks that it's okay if you don't get your quarterback in this particular draft. It's actually okay. You've got all these picks. You have to build up a team. And I know the Aaron Rodgers thing didn't work out.
But Aaron Rodgers wanted to play for the Jets for a couple of reasons. But the main reason was that young team went into Lambeau. Sauce Gardner's rookie year, Garrett Wilson's rookie year. They went into Lambeau and beat them. And they look great. And the defense looked great.
What were the main concerns raised about Aaron Glenn's coaching strategy?
The offensive weapons looked great. And... Aaron Rodgers said, man, that's a good young team that just needs a quarterback. And then he snapped his Achilles. Right. But the point being is that for the Jets to get that, it's not impossible to convince the rest of the NFL world that you can win. They just did it with Aaron Rodgers. But right now, no one's going to believe you. So you've got to hit on these draft picks. You've got to build it up. And then it'll become an attractive destination for quarterbacks because it's just not right now. Well, then the biggest question will be, who will be quarterbacking the Jets next year?
