I absolutely would. You don’t trade a sure thing for magic beans in the NFL unless you want to be the Jets.
I would consider trading him for 3 first rounders, a couple of thirds and a starter. Or not!

McBride & PJJ are literally the only non-rookie untouchables on this team, lol.

The Jets went from a last place team to a last place team except now they own the next two drafts. You’d be in the minority of not liking what they did.

Oh they own the next two drafts? How many wins do they get for that?

Is it going to turn out as good as it did for the Cards who owned the 2024 draft?

They have the most ammo to acquire a QB over the next two years. Yes.

Without a QB you’re irrelevant.

Daniel Jones was nobody the past three seasons. He was a punchline.

San Francisco has gone 5-3 with Mac Jones as the starter.

Denver is 8-2 with Bo Nix and his 52.9 QBR.

Good teams make their QB work.

North of the 49th.
You can have vomit and diarrhea in the same bowl. Removing one or the other isn’t going to make it palatable.

I suggested a tough choice, but a choice nonetheless.

As it stands in the speculation, we are left with a career backup and a development QB from Bohunk State; there is no Kurt Warner or Carson Palmer to save the day that I can see.

I’d like to see those teams for the full season but to this point they are delivering w/o a high level QB.

To a point. Bo Nix is basically Trent Dilfer. Mac Jones wasn't awful at first with New England, and is now in a much better situation. Was it Daniel Jones or an awful team around him in NY?

It's common wisdom that these situations are the exceptions, and very much not the norm.

How many exceptions do we need to come up with before it becomes a plausible path?

I think Bo Nix is the true exception. If you can't get an insanely great defense to go with your Trent Dilfer, it's never going to work. That's not a plausible path. I've already covered the other two. But, hey, if you really believe in de-valuing the QB position so much, more power to you. It's not for me.
