Whoa...
That guy graduated the same year i did at my hometown's other high school. We hadquite a few mutual friends. I kinda followed his career w/ the Jets (hometown pride and all). Mosley will be missed, but it's cool having another Nodak boy on the team!

You cant really say Bollinger plays like a 4th string QB, since he had played most of last year as the backup to pennington.
He is a second string and at worse 3rd, the Jets have2 good QBs and a rookie... Of course he was expandable and that is good for us...Hopefully he doesnt have to play a down for us, but I like the insurance policy...How much to we pay for our insurance, alot...So it cost the viking more then we wanted, it will all work out in the end...

Great, a 'Skani.

Oh well, hopefully he can manage a clipboard and here is to hoping he isn't needed

Hey he'll be fine, if memory serves me right.
Childress thought he was a good talent when he was an assistant.
He isn't a superstar, but a good quality back up, with the right teaching he could be another Brad Johnson, much better then McMahon or O sullivan

As the lone Mosely hater on the board let me be the first to say good riddance.
As Fuad pointed out, he is basically wasting a roster spot.
Bollinger can't be any worse than McMahon.
Great move.

I think that a few years down the road we will regret trading away Mosley but it didn't look like he was going to make the team and we get a QB that is better than McWoman or TJ O'Dullison for somebody that was going to be cut.

I guess it is a good trade since Mosely wouldn't make our team. I know he was forced into action last year when Pennington went down did anybody here watch how he did?

Are you serious man?
Mosley was going to be a solid back up d-lineman for us.
I think this is an idiotic trade.
Too big of a deal has been made of us getting a back up QB.
For God sake, can the Jets 4TH string QB really be that much better than Tarvaris?

I am very bummed that we traded Mosley but I agree with the other people that are
saying Mosley was not going to make the team, it was pretty much known that he was going to be cut.
I think we will regret it years down the road but at least we got something for nothing as he was going to be cut.

I don't think "in a few years" really matters right now to Childress, especially with a guy like Mosley. I think when you weigh it all out, Mosley is worth the price of a dependable backup.
