New York Jets Flight Connections 01/16/26
Gang Green Nation Gang Green Nation

Good morning Gang Green Nation! With Dante Moore choosing to return to school rather than enter the 2026 NFL draft, there has much weeping and gnashing of the teeth about the rotten situation at quarterback the Jets face in 2026. There aren’t a lot of good options. Mostly there is an array of bad and worse options. But here’s the thing: if the Jets had picked Dante Moore at #2 in the 2026 draft, they still would likely have had a bad situation at quarterback in 2026. Sure, Moore might have eventually developed into a top quarterback, but that was unlikely to happen in 2026. This coming season was always going to be rough for the Jets, with or without Moore under center. We’ll see what options the Jets will have at quarterback by the time the 2027 draft rolls around. In the meantime, we should all be prepared for being outgunned at the most important position on the field in almost every game. This was always going to be the case. In the meantime, perhaps the Jets can build a strong infrastructure to support whatever rookie quarterback they eventually bring in.
