Whatever the case may be right now I rather have Fields than Geno but if the Jets want to keep wasting their time and not just completely start over and draft a QB at 16 it's better than giving away assets I feel. For Fields's side I wouldn't be shocked to see Andy and the returning Bieniemy turns something with Fields within their Offense.
The kid from Alabama is the 2nd best QB. And he sucks. If they didn't get Mendoza at 1.1 this isn't the year to draft a QB. 2027 on the other hand will be a very deep QB class (Manning, the Oregon kid, and more), also the Jets have THREE first round picks in that draft so they should have no problem getting whatever QB they want regardless of record.
We all saw what Fields has been for his entire career. He's ass. His only hope is to get to a place with good offensive coaching and maybe learn as a backup (A/K/A the Sam Darnold method). That's what he is doing. And in all honesty for his sake I hope it works out for him.
Also the Jets didn't give up assets for this swap, they literally GAINED assets. Traded a 2026 6th for a 2026 7th and a 2027 6th. The monies even out.
Geno is a plug and play Starter. Fields is a backup at this point in his career. Jets gained a draft pick to swap QBs. Great move all around.
