| 0:00.0 | even though we all assume the Jets weren't taking a quarterback, which they didn't, I would say to you, |
| 0:05.2 | boy, if there's a good one there, they should take one. They don't have one on this roster. Now, I admit, the guy I liked was Shador Sanders, and the jury is still out. Right, he has not played a snap yet. We don't know. I wasn't in love with Jackson Dart. I didn't hate Jackson Dart. I didn't know. But listen to what Vic Fangio said about the lessons he's learned facing Jackson Dart this season. One lesson's learned in the teams that need quarterbacks that bypass them. They're going to regret that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we are going to regret that. So you asked me two weeks ago, Sean, when are Jet fans going to be pissed off about it? I'm here. I'm here right now. Yeah. Because he was there. The Jets always knew Justin Fields wasn't the answer. The idea that they didn't have eyes wide open looking for a quarterback in the first second to any round is beyond me. Why? Because they believe Justin Fields was going to be the real deal. |
| 0:54.4 | It took seven weeks for the owner to take a massive number two on them publicly. |
| 0:59.0 | But I think that was a value. That was a flaw in scouting. And maybe that's because of the |
| 1:03.9 | transition of GMs. I don't know what the scouting situation was like with the Jets after |
| 1:10.3 | Joe Douglas was fired and Mugi was coming in. |
| 1:13.4 | They didn't know. |
| 1:14.6 | Who knows? |
| 1:15.4 | How can you be perfectly sure when after January your GM is gone and fired and now you have a new one and he's got to try to evaluate all of these quarterbacks? |
| 1:25.6 | And by the way, last year was not a strong QB draft. But then, you know, because Jackson Dart was the second quarterback taken at 23. It was Cam Ward and you didn't see another quarterback until Jackson Dart went. And that was the Giants trading up to go get him because they loved them. And then you got to go to Chuck, Tyler Schach,, who was in the second round, was the next one after that. He hasn't seen a snap yet. So I don't think the Jets went into 2025 draft saying this is quarterback rich, like 2026 is going to be, even if they're not ideal, there's going to be a lot of quarterbacks in next year's draft. I think you looked at this draft and said, who do we take? Cam Ward's going to number one. Who else is there left? And Jackson Dart, nobody expected him to be as good as he's been to start his tenure with the New York Giants. They still could have drafted him. Of course they could have. But I... It's all a fair explanation, but you know what? They're still going to To me, I think it's, this is the transitioning of a front office. |
| 2:22.4 | You're just not prepared to spend all of that resource on a quarterback that you haven't fully scouted or taken. |
| 2:29.6 | Well, I'll tell you this about Jackson Dart and anyone they select next year. |
| 2:36.5 | Being the guy to turn this disaster of a franchise around isn't going to just take height, skill, arm strength. It's going to take a |
| 2:43.0 | personality. Of course. Like you are going to have to have, dare I say it, a Dardian personality. |
| 2:49.5 | Like I'm being honest with you. Because the job of being the savior, the same savior mantle that Sam Darnold had and |
| 2:56.2 | Zach Wilson had and Mark Sanchez had and Gino Smith had, I mean, heavy that lies the |
| 3:01.7 | crown. |
| 3:02.2 | No doubt. |
| 3:02.9 | Like, that is, I'd argue, the toughest spot to be in. |
| 3:06.5 | Like, this guy, no offense to Jackson Dart, he was here to replace Daniel Jones, and, oh, yeah, we had Eli Manning a few years earlier. |
| 3:13.3 | Like, you've already had a franchise quarterback. |
| 3:15.0 | Take it over the jet job as the franchise quarterback is probably the most difficult job in human history. |
