I’d be surprised if we went with Ryan. I’m going to hold judgement on this until after the draft. If we do end up taking Ryan I’ll have some questions. Mostly, this would tell me that the coaching staff has seen something in kellen they don’t like. It’s easy for us to say, “we have kellen and chad, we don’t need a qb.” I too feel this way and feel that we’re better off drafting elsewhere. The fact is, I’m not part of the Jets organization and they know better than I do.

I’m still doing the chris long dance. Don’t think we’ll get him either, but that would be a VERY happy saturday for me.

Nobody is making Ryan out to be the next Peyton Manning. We shouldn’t forget that. A lot of busts are cracked up to be the real deal and just aren’t…All of these analysts are just considering Ryan to be a good quarterback with upside (and he is a better prospect out of college then Kellen btw).

I doubt the Jets will grab Ryan if he is still there but if Mangini and Tannenbaum really feel like he’s the best player available and want to pick him I’m OK with that. He could add solid depth to our QB, he could be a bust, he could be trade bait for Baltimore. Who knows, all Im saying is to have faith my fellow Jets fans.

The Jets have done well for themselves this year. This is the best free agent crop in quite a long time. The Jets have been able to set themselves up to pick the best player available. If that is Ryan, so be it. We haven’t had a franchise QB in way too long.

It’s not that bad of a pick or it is a good smoke screen. The only move at this point that would bother me is drafting Doresy or Ellis and forcing them into the 3-4.

nyj4clong – your capslock is on.

i think ryan is overrated too (and will be tremendously disappointed if the jets take him), but let’s be fair – the guy is a better prospect coming out of college than clemens was. it’s not even close.
