The JETS are pretty close to the PATS - talent wise - New England Patriots Forums

yet they are not nearly as good.

Goes to show how important coaching and experience in this league is.

Disagree. I'd take maybe 3 of their players on D (Harris, Rhodes and Revis, Bryan Thomas at a push), whilst on O.....1 perhaps? And it won't be the one you're thinking of.

I don't agree with that. I think their talent is overrated.

How do you figure? If you break it down by position, no way. Not even close.

They are 1 game behind us.

BritPat, I would take Pace too, though not at his high salary. He's solid. So is Jenkins but we do not have a need there. He's been very good by just about all the accounts that I've seen.

I actually think they're going to win tomorrow, though I realize I might be in the minority.

They're comparable, but not quite where we are. I might take their secondary over ours now that Rodney is out, at least Rhodes over either of our safeties and Revis over any of our corners. Jenkins, Pace, and B. Thomas are all comparable with Pats players at those positions, what with Vrabel having lost a step and I dare say A. Thomas being overrated.

On offense, I like Mangold, Faneca , and Favre over our current players at those positions, but we still have the greater balance of better players. Magina is building a decent team though. They'll compete for a spot this year.

This is laughable.Their wrs arent as good as our guys.I hope we beat them again.

No way in hell the Jets are anywhere near talented. They have a handful of good players but not ONE player that is great.

Harris, Rhodes, Revis (who is decent but not nowhere as good as advertised) and maybe Jenkins as a vet. Pace can't cover anyone to save his life.

Funny, we were saying the same thing about the pats until Brady and moss were breaking records last year. Many would argue that Favre is a great player. He's owns all big three passing records - passes, completions, and touchdowns. Some would point out that he also has the most career interceptions. But you can't say that he is not great.

I would even argue that without Brady we have a handful of good players but not one that is great.

When you think about it, both teams have two first ballot hall of famers - our Brady and Moss vs their Favre and Faneca. Seymour looks to make the HOF, but Jenkins is a possibility there too.

I'm not arguing in favor of the OP, the Jets are not that close to the pats , but there are a lot of patsfans who don't give them as much credit as they deserve.

Faneca is not a first ballot Hall of Famer.
