Summary

Evan reveals his full 25-quarterback Big Board for the New York Jets’ 2026 options — including free agents, trade targets, and under-contract players who could be on the move — and the reaction is exactly what you’d expect: disbelief, anger, and nonstop criticism. Why are Anthony Richardson and Malik Willis at the very top? Is Derek Carr actually one of the safest options? Should Kirk Cousins be much higher? And where do polarizing names like Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and Mac Jones really belong? The debate dives into scheme fit, upside vs. reliability, and the brutal reality that the Jets’ QB situation may be far worse than fans want to admit. When every option comes with major flaws, building a “perfect” list becomes nearly impossible. Plus, the segment takes a wild detour into Mets promotional night announcements, legendary giveaways, and a nostalgic discussion about the most creative stadium promos ever. If you’re trying to figure out the Jets’ path forward at quarterback — or just want to argue about it — this is peak offseason chaos.

0:30.9	And my counter is, I'm not saying it's perfect, but if you have a better list, supply it.
0:31.9	It is not easy.
0:36.0	The jets are not in an ideal situation when it comes to the quarterback spot.
0:37.1	The jets are a sewer. So to attack my list isn't really fair.
0:39.5	It's more of an attack on the Jets.
0:41.5	Right.
0:42.5	So what I decided to do because the echo chamber of social media or sports talk radio is mostly negative is I took my list.
0:49.8	I took it and I sent it to chat GPT.
0:54.9	And this is exactly how I phrased it.
0:57.5	Right.
0:58.0	I ranked my preferences for the Jets quarterback in 2026 using a grade scale.
