Maybe for a veteran. But no way they trade for McCarron. They have their own young players.

Garrett will primarily be a pass rusher, but if he doesn't learn coverage, he won't be a 3 down player.  

Hard to say what they get for Mccarron, but QB's fetch a premium.  A huge advantage for him is that he's still on his rookie contract, so he's easy to get under the cap and if he doesn't pan out, you can let him walk without sinking a ton of money into him.  Fitzpatrick has been abysmal this year, and nobody on the Jets roster has been able to unseat him.  It's clear Petty isn't the answer, and they aren't prepared to make Hackenberg the guy without a competition.

Armstead doesn't blow. He doesn't get a ton of playing time. Eifert had more playing time his first 2 years than Armstead. Plus, it was known that Armstead would take some time to adjust into the NFL. Also throw in that Armstead is still very young. Armstead will be 23 by the beginning on next season. Allen will be 22 at the beginning on next season.

I can agree on that. Others have had to do it. But his primary focus should continue to be pass rushing.

They can fetch a premium. However, Bradford in Minnesota may cause teams to back off of premiums like that. However, Garoppolo is also in his rookie contract and is younger than McCarron. There are other options out there.

Just because Fitzpatrick is still playing doesn't mean someone can't "unseat" him. They put in Petty but he got hurt, then Fitzpatrick played very well. Plus, they paid Fitz a TON of money, so might as well get a high draft pick. Hackenberg is a rookie, and Bowles might be the guy who wants to sit his QB for a year. Teams still believe in doing that. Gus Bradley wanted to do that, but his hand was forced with Bortles.

I just don't see the Jets trading for a QB in all honesty. Bears I could see. But they might also stay put and look at QBs there.
