I like the Matt Moore idea...great guy to hold the fort while the Jets hopefully find a long term solution

Considering McElroy looked like a deer in headlights against Chargers, I'd take Moore every day of the week over him. I'd much prefer a solid, experienced veteran who has shown he can do well when called upon than somebody who has yet to do that even if he perhaps hasn't had the opportunities to do so.

Moore's record as a starter with the Fins in 2011 was 6-6 (they had started the season 0-4); he may have started slowly but was pretty impressive down the stretch, finishing with 16 TDs to 9 INTs, four of those nine coming in games against the Jets. His previous starting experience with Carolina was decent too - 4-1 record from 5 starts in '09 taking them from 4-7 to 8-8 and he threw 8 TDs to 2 INTs, and it wasn't as if the Panthers were run heavy as he averaged 25 attempts a game.

Wow - I can't imagine why a kid who has virtually never played in the NFL should look like a veteran against a team that sacked him 11 times!!! If they don't give McElroy a shot then what is so bad about Moore? Do you think Sanchez can do the job? Do you want another season with him as the starter in our new attack offense where the QB puts the team on his shoulders. That thought makes me nauceous.

I would love to get Connor Barwin, coming off of a 3 sack season but has 10+ sack ability.

I'd be happy to bring in Matt Moore and let him have the chance to earn the starting job, that was my point. Obviously McElroy's inexperience didn't help him against San Diego; he probably should have been given his far shot far earlier in the season than the second half of the Arizona game. Chances in the NFL, especially for backup QBs, are few and far between though with just a 16 game regular season, and it's bad luck for McElroy that his time on the field has been so limited.
With Sanchez, it's likely he'll be on the team next season due to his contract, but as backup given this year showed explicitly that he hasn't panned out to be the QB we wanted him to be.
One thing's clear, I don't envisage our starting QB for next season to be a player currently on the roster.

We drafted Wilk and Coples back to back. We're not signing a DE.

Not as convinced as you are that McElroy isn't either the answer or a stopgap until we can rid ourselves of this cap problem and draft a QB that has some semblance of an offense to work with. But not convinced the other way either.

The only thing I am convinced about is that Sanchez is not the man now and the odds of him becoming the man do not warrant wasting another season in the vain hope of him getting there. So we either draft a QB in the third round, buy a cheap free agent or use McElroy. I think if we bolster the O-line McElroy might work out well. Remember - he is mobile, smart and doesn't throw picks. That wouldn't be a bad thing to at least start out with.

Matt Moore throws a smooth ball pretty thing to watch.

lolllll He's a 3-4 rush backer.

Barwin, Ed Dickson, Matt Moore all 3 are great ideas, IMO.

I think the ones that we should consider including the re-signings are
1) Braylon
2) Howard
3) DeVito
4) Bell
5) Mendenhall
6) Landry
7) Barwin
8) Cook

[jet-man]

1)tom brady qb.
2)calvin johnson wr.
3)von miller olb.
oh you guys were talking seriously?
in that case, don't expect too much thru FA.
much more thru the draft which is heavy at lb. and rb.

Actually with a new GM there will probably be lots of activity in free agency...as the new guy clears the old players and brings in some of his type of players. It doesn't mean they will be flashy signings, but there likely will be a heavy roster turnover this offseason.

I think resigning Landry would be a mistake. He made the Pro Bowl so he will demand significant dollars. he is still injury prone and he can't cover the tight ends we have to deal with. he is a better strong safety than free safety. We can't afford the dollars v. the potential for injury and the lack of coverage.

I like the thought of resigning DeVito, Moore, Folk, Bell, Braylon and Howard. Greene, Scott, Pace, Thomas, E and J Smith, Ducasse and Keller should go. I love the idea of trying to sign Ivory to replace Greene (although I like Powell also). Barwin would also be a great addition. And we would still need to draft a guard.

But where are we getting this money? We can knock $31 million of our cal but we are over by a lot going in so maybe we have $5 million other than the rookie money to play with (not sure of this so please chime in if you know better). We would have to see if players would rework contracts.
