2025-2026 College Football Season

[Donoghus]

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore has decided to return to school for the 2026 season, he announced on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday.

By going back to Oregon, Moore gave up a chance to be a top pick in the 2026 NFL draft. He'll project near the top of a loaded quarterback class for 2027.

"With this decision, mainly all my life has just been about being as most prepared as I can for any situation I go into," Moore told SportsCenter. "And when it comes to me making my decision, I just want to do what's best for my situation, especially as a quarterback.

I guess he must not have liked the idea of being drafted by the Jets.

Can't blame him for that. Jets organization is a dumpster fire.

Bad news for Dylan Raiola.

I guess Moore is only 20 (21 in May).  That is pretty young for the NFL (not like the NBA).  Seems like a sensible decision.  He will be better prepared in a year.  There is some risk of course.  I guess with NIL money, the financial risk is not what it used to be.

As to who he gets drafted by, it is the Jets this year, who knows who next season.  I hope he is not doing this to try and game which team he goes to.  Would the Raiders or Cardinals or whoever necessarily be any better?

Anywhere is better than the Jets.

There are franchises that are less well-regarded, but not many.  In last season's NFLPA report cards, the Jets ranked 29th, and their ownership score was an F.  That said, the Patriots ranked 31st, so a lot can change in one year (I'm presuming they get a better grade in 2026's report).

Years on end the Jets have been at the bottom of the NFL landscape. I doubt there is a historically worse franchise than the Jets.

Edit: I did a little quick research. Cardinals likely worst historical franchise. But I?d likely rank Jets second. Based on playoff appearances and Super Bowls. Other contenders for worst franchise are Lions and Browns both have zero Super Bowl appearances but have a decent playoff resume. Where as Arizona and the Jets have each been to Super Bowl, the Jets won it w Namath. Both are near the bottom of playoff game, Jets 14, Cardinals 11.
Other teams with low appearances Playoffs and Supebowls are Jaguars and Texans but their relative newness to the league make it hard to rank their ineptitude next to much older franchises.

The fundamental problem the Jets have is they have the trifecta for an owner i.e., he is a terrible decision maker, he meddles, and he is cheap. 

All that said, Moore should have come out.  He would have been the 2nd pick.  Next year, there is a good chance he isn't even the 2nd QB off the board, let alone the 2nd pick.
