Had to happen

Had to be done, the offense was sputtering with Murray. Wentz talked about getting the ball to Jefferson which is important and at this point, they might as well play Wentz.
The irony in all this...the off-season narrative that if they didnt bring in a veteran (murray) that Jets was going to get unhappy and ask to be traded, seems we are closer to that because we brought in murray, and then forced him into the role despite him actually winning it as was claimed.

I don't know about you, but I get irritated when things don't go exactly as I expect them to.

I get irritated when many people said this was a mistake, including myself, and we were right and you were wrong again...im guessing that is what irritates you.
Hell if this is anywhere near what you expected you should be embarrassed as hell.

Unless they make some surprising move at qb, I personally dont think we've seen the last of K1 starting here.
Wentz might get us a bump, a spark for a couple games, anything beyond that is highly questionable.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

which would be light years ahead of anything we have seen from murray.

The mistake was drafting JJ McCarthy. Some were dubious of Murray and that was fair, but it was a no brainer to bring him in. Bottom line we effed up the JJM pick is why we are here
If the new GM believed JJM was a long term starter, he would still be here. He didnt, JJ’s gone and we’ll have to see how Teasley works out on this decision.

I know he was a top 10 pick, but he was also the 5th qb taken that draft for a reason
It wasn’t anyone’s fault he missed like 29 of 34 starts that’s just the football gods being dicks

Agree, think that is what is often overlooked. Interesting the Giants GM remarks about them considering drafting him - "We had him rated very high from a skill set. ... We weren't quite sure about the maturity level, but we loved his skill set," Mara told the Post. That could have been a big part of why he did not gel here with KOC. There were definitely glimpses of it, but there could have been a lot we did not see. Just imagine what could possibly be with a competent GM for the past 5 drafts.

I expected Murray to devote himself and try to learn the offense.
He didn't.
I presumed the threat of not having a contact next year and that simultaneously being surrounded by a better staff, roster and organization would bring out the best in his game.
IMO it's not deficiencies in his game , he mailed it in, I didn't see that coming.
Don't trade JJ.
