The former football blog primarily on the NFL Draft from 2014-17. Still trying to keep up with and get better at understanding the game, but not writing so much anymore. Manned by @captainnath.bsky.social.
if you want to know (I think this will work for spoilers if you have anything hidden turned on):

haha yeah I knew the first two would be pretty easy but there is one more I don't think anyone will get because nobody associates him with the Jets.

So he's a guy who bounced around on a few teams for some years before finding significant success on a new team surprisingly late in his career? Like Jim Plunkett?

that's right!

the second question will prove a bit trickier.

If you want some fun trivia...

1)Who was the last QB the Jets drafted who made the Pro Bowl with the Jets?
2)How many QBs have the Jets drafted since then that have made the Pro Bowl for other teams? (And can you name the answers?)

Hah, okay, I thought it was even long before that. To the point where when I thought the numbers made sense I don't think the production was high enough quality to fit this screenshot

And being the Spags Rams and pre-Carroll Seahawks makes sense too

2009? Warner Cardinals being the favorite after the Super Bowl run makes the most sense

Wait a minute, this is also the plot of Old Yeller.

Yeah he completed one nice deep ball to Mims and after that it was mostly panic and throwing behind guys

cousins and Cousins 🥁

Crazy how close we were to 4/6 advancing to a conference championship!
January 25, 2026 at 11:03 PM
I mean the only New England TD is off a complete panic play by Stidham, I think that's fair. Might end up being 7-3 or 7-6 without that
January 25, 2026 at 10:56 PM
Yeah I didn't get everyone who thought it would be a blowout. Even if Stidham really is that much worse than Nix, the defense and OL are the real engines of this team
