Hasty had a great TD catch against the Ravens.  And I love that play!

But Robinson had great runs against the Redskins, Chargers, and the Colts.  Not to mention was pretty good against the Giants before we shut him down.

No, don't disrespect Robinson like that.  Hastey has made one play in and been effective in 1 game.  Robinson, when a jaguar, was dangerous and effective on several plays in several seasons.  You can't compare the 2.

How the Jet's squander Robinson is thier business.  But when he's been here, he was always money.  Hastey?  He had 1 game.  And nothing more, so far.

The Jets aren't squandering anything. They are in the hunt for the playoffs so they're playing their best players regardless of draft position. It's why Mike White is playing and not Zach Wilson. It's also why they're playing Knight instead of JRob. 

Sorry to burst your bubble but he's just not that good right now and may never fully come back from that Achilles. The clots game? You mean the game where he rushed 23 times for 64 yards and 37 of that came on one play? Just look at the decline man. Since week 4, he has progressively gotten worse.

JRob was really good before his injury but there's a reason the Jags moved on from him and there's a reason the Jets are using him. He just doesn't have it anymore.

I mean, you're making my point for me...  Dude still had explosiveness, and was a good vet that could teach ETN a thing or two.  

Instead, we have a 2nd year ETN that can't hold onto the ball or figure out when to take a hit or when to just get down/out of bounds. And we have a new group of RBs that are less than the one we traded.  All for a 5th round pick that will wind up on the practice squad at best.

It has turned out to be a bad trade.  It's OK to admit it.  Again, the Achilles obviously was going to shorten his career.  But he had gas in the tank, and his talent and experience with this current RB corps is absolutely more valuable than a 5th round pick, prima facia
