The upside: the foreseeable future of the JETS
 

I'm still having a tough time keeping up with NFL news as much as I usually do since that awful ending to the season, but there is one upside after the offseason so far... the Jets.

The moves they have made this offseason (and as far back as last year actually) are just atrocious, and I think I'd have to kill myself if I was a Jets fan. Mangini and Tannenbaum are driving this team into the ground.

So bank on two more easy wins next year and a surefire top 10 pick for the Jets. Their classy fans deserve it.

Gotta agree with you there... combine that with the very questionable Revis picak and the terrible deal, and you are hurtin in J... E.... T.... S.... land.

i dont see it that way....

i think next year the jets will be good, quite good
i expect the pats to beat them twice, but defenetely not easy wins....

however, in 3 yrs, the jets will be the worst team in the league

Thats what I was saying, they have improved, sold their soul, and it will get them to 9-7 maybe. Rome wasn't built in an offseason.

I really really hope you are right. :)

I can see the Jets right anywhere from 6 to 9 wins. Last year's 49ers and the Redskins most of the years they have been owned by Daniel Snyder has shown us that buying high priced free agents doesn't mean you are going to field a competitive team.

I look at every offseason acquisition for the Jets to have a question mark.

Can Kris Jenkins stay focused, happy, and healthy? Can he make the transition to NT in a 3-4? He supposably liked the nightlife in a small town like Charlotte, what is going to do in NYC?

Was Calvin Pace a contract year one year wonder? Was he even all that good even last year to be relied on as the Jets' stud pass rusher if they don't get a Vernon Gholston in the draft? Do the Jets have enough pass rushers to have Pace not neutralized by a double team?

Is perenial underachiever Damien Woody their answer at RT? Is 4-5 good games at RT last year enough of test case to show that he can make the permanent transition to that spot?

How much does Alan Faneca have left? Will Nick Mangold and D'Brickishaw Ferguson return to their solid rookie forms with him there or were their rookie seasons flukes? Wasn't Ferguson's rookie season one of the most overrated season of 2006 anyway (he was personally responsible for 10 sacks that season)?

At age 36, what does Tony Richardson have left? How about Bubba Franks? With a potent offense of the Packers, he wasn't much of a threat.

And the biggest question of all: Who is going to be their QB? And a related question: Are either Kellen Clemmens or Chad Pennington the answer?

Sorry, I know a lot of people love their moves. I question a lot of them. I wanted the Pats to get Pace, but I thought he would be a value free agent without a huge price tag and never expected him to be the premiere pass rusher on this team. I would have said he was a good complimentary piece, but he is their Mike Vrabel. Faneca was a good move even if he was expensive. Other than that, their moves have been unimpressive to me.

"And the biggest question of all: Who is going to be their QB? And a related question: Are either Kellen Clemmens or Chad Pennington the answer?"

It all comes down to this and they are screwed either way if they have to count on either to make the playoffs.

Re: The upside: the foreseeable future of the JETS
 

I'm just looking forward to the draft when NYJ fans will predictably boo whoever MangIdiot picks... interestingly with the new NFL contest whereby one fan from each team gets to announce the pick, I guess they'll be booing a fellow fan


Seems like Goodell didn't want to put himself in that position again!

(by the way, speaking of the draft, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Patriots actually move UP to grab a player they like before the Jets)

Re: The upside: the foreseeable future of the JETS
 

I can't help but wonder if the Jets are setting themselves up to pick Matt Ryan if he's there at #6. Clemens is not the answer (perhaps he should try HGH), nor is Pennington, obviously. They can't give up on D'Brick yet at LT. However, they've bolstered LG with Faneca. Mangold is looking solid. They signed Woody for the RG spot. RBs can be had later and I don't think Run DMC will be as valuable after emulating Reggie Bush on and off the field. They have a solid, if unspectacular receiving corps.

They've added Kris Jenkins and Calvin Pace to the D, which already had Revis and Harris. DBs can be had in later rounds, anyway. Ellis or Dorsey would be great for them also, but they need O WAYYY more than D, and QB is the absolute key, as we all know. I'm guessing Matt Ryan at #6. If not him, then they'll go with JD Booty or Chad Henne in Round 2.

Yea we were so dumb for trading our entire draft for Revis and Harris:rolleyes:
