Sam.

Donald, man, when you look at it three years ago, he was supposed to be the savior.

The New York Jets franchise at the quarterback spot.

This man has had 3 to 4 different offensive coordinators in his ear calling plays for him.

You cannot function like that.

I don't give a damn who you are at the quarterback spot.

You can't let alone when you don't have any help.

The receivers that they selected on the 53 man roster, he hasn't played with all three or four of them at once this year.

Think about it.

Every time you look up, there's a different receiver in the huddle, and he hasn't helped himself, either.

Because when you start to ply too much pressure, you start doing crazy things, throwing the ball back against the grain, getting it intercepted, seeing go see, uh, seeing negotiate, seeing the ghost comment, Yeah, that's never gonna leave.

He never And so you start to think about those things.

If they move him, whatever they decided to do with him hypothetically, let's say that they decide we're gonna move him.

We want to get him out of the A F C.

We don't want to be in the A F C, but we'll move him to the NFC and they send in the San Francisco two years from now.

He's in the Super Bowl.

You see what I'm saying?

Or for whatever reason, they jet it and they decided to do a brown it.

They jetted.

We're doing all this.

I don't care.

Pittsburgh has given us a three and a 2 to 3 and 2021 the two and 22.

Okay, we're gonna move into Pittsburgh and then all of a sudden he becomes the next being Roethlisberger while you sitting over here with Trevor Lawrence and his family and you, You got that whole situation over there and you're trying to build.

He can't help himself serving.

He's trying to build all for that.

Meanwhile, he's over here in Pittsburgh on his way to a Super Bowl on his way to an A F C championship.

But you're giving me a lot of hypotheticals.

I give you another hypothetical.

He stays with the Jets, and this is just Husam.

Donald is even if you surround him with pieces.

There's that hypothetical to like it just doesn't work.

What if he goes to a Pittsburgh, which is a way better team, But I've seen enough J to know that that can be fixed.

I've seen enough to know that could be fixed.

It's all about again.

We just had a conversation for the past 30 minutes about Baker Mayfield that is getting fixed in Cleveland because they're not asking him to do what the expectations were, which is throw the ball out a shotgun 50 times again.

Those expectations have to be tailored down for Sam Donald.

They have to be coached in Taylor down.

They're not doing enough to help him.

Period.

I know in this world that we live in, we like to the moment we like to live in the moment.

In the moment is the great Trevor Lawrence in the bad Sam Donald or the great Justin Fields in the bad Sam Donald.

That's what we like to dio.

It's not my call because it would be easy call for me.

I would bring in my new hair coach and we would sit down and evaluate exam Donald and make a decision for the organization.

As the president general manager of the team.

And we would say to ourselves, Do we believe that these other two young quarterbacks can lead us to where we want to go with the same type of talent?

We have some money and we have some draft picks.

We have another first round pick in another later, first round pick.

Maybe we could draft a wide receiver.

Maybe we could go get Jamaar chaser.

Maybe we could go get Waddell of Smith out of Alabama.

Maybe we go find some guys.

We have some pics.

Is Trevor Lawrence the answer?

Because we got to spend some money on say, I'm Donald two years from now or we could franchise tagging.

We could continue to play that game.

Elect Trevor Lawrence, go somewhere.

Maybe Trevor Lawrence is great, but you gotta bet on something or who you get a higher trade value for what?

You could get more in return for right?

Pretty much.

Essentially, we're gonna get more.

You're gonna get more in return for the first round.

Trevor Lawrence.

Trevor.

Well, two things, Number one.

It feels like Adam gays.

It feels like this is the last last ditch effort to not save his job.

Saying they go not to save his job, but I think to save his respectability, right, Thio, try to say maybe a future job.

Like I'm trying to do things right.

Like I'm trying to do things right.

While I'm on my way out the door here.

I'm gonna try to sit here and say it's like a confession, essentially saying like, Hey, look, I messed up.

I have a handle my responsibility.

That's number one, number two.

I'm just I think it's gonna be harder and harder to kind of go away from the hype that's going to come with Trevor Lawrence.

Its key hype hype is dangerous, you know that.

I know.

And and key you played here in New York were in New York.

E get it.

And I s so I know you pose a lot of hypotheticals about him going to Pittsburgh or him going somewhere else and then winning a Super Bowl.

But the same thing if you're in New York fame, your Jeff van, you're also worried about.

Maybe this is maybe even if we do surround Sam Donald with the right skill sets or the right players personnel wise, Maybe this is who Sam Donald is.

Maybe he never blossoms out of this dude, man, you know, there's a lot of players your first couple of years in the league.

It takes a really strong personality to bear out of that.

Say that's not who I am and also in play better.

Maybe this is the general is still the difference with Sam.

No, he's not fractured mentally.

How do you know that?

First of all knowing.

So I know that just off the rip, as they say, full transparency, he's not fractured at all at all.

He's not fractured.

Trust me on that one.

Just sometimes you gotta have people help you in the right directions.

I'll say it and I'll say it again.

Had I had Richie Kotite is my entire coach for my four years or whatever in New York.

I wouldn't be sitting up here with you today.

Just trust me on that one.

I understand that Coach has a lot to do with it.
