The 2012 season: the Jets [Mod Edit: STILL] suck

[reflexblue]

Rex is in the wrong business, he should be in acting, he'd make a great drama queen

 

[Koma]

@BrianCoz: While addressing the team today, Rex cried at one point according to people in the room. #NYJ

how many times in the last four years have I posted that this mutt is psychologically crippled?

he should be the star of "Spot The Manic Depressive" on the game show network

For a guy who talks about how physically tough he is and how good he'd be in a fight, Rex sure does break down and cry a lot.

Emotional Rex denies report that he wants out if Jets don't change offense

""That's total garbage, that's garbage," Ryan said. "That's not the case at all. The premise that I'd rather go somewhere else to coach somebody's football team. No way. That's not it. I'd rather coach my players and my team. New England Patriots, anybody else, I don't care. I want this team. This is my team."

I don't think people grasp the depth of Rex's delusion. With the above statement he makes the assumption that there would some OTHER team that would allow this walking disaster to be the HC. The sad reality is that the only reason claims that he will coach the Jets and no one else, is because they are the only team that would be dumb enough to let him lead them.

The only organization that will pursue Rex when his tenure ends (and that will be a sad day for all Pats fans) in NJ, is ESPN.

Too bad Victor Hugo already used the title Les Miserables. Would have fit a documentary on this Jets season.

Just saw a comment by Doug Kyed of nesn.com that I thought was interesting:

When does the story come out that the Jets let up 11 sacks to Greg McElroy because he was the locker room rat? Makes no sense otherwise.​

Not saying that was the case, but it's interesting speculation if nothing else.

THat is not unprecedented. THere was an article in USA Today where a former Detroit? lineperson discussed how he deliberately missed blocks to let his QB whom he felt was a losah get hammered time and again.

Yeah, I saw that. Lomas Brown and Scott Mitchell, if I'm not mistaken. Brown caught a bunch of flak for that, and Mitchell was pretty upset when the story came out ... talked about how he had him over to his house for meals, bought gifts for all the offensive linemen, etc., and he gets repaid by having something happen that could have ended his career.

Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Rex's right hand man, is apparently the one who's been leaking stuff to the media. There's also a rumour that the Jets suspected Pettine and reprimanded him last season, forcing him to use a specific phone for all purposes so the team could monitor his calls.

I, personally, am disgusted to read the people wanting more bugging of phones and the like. The saying "Most people are idiots" is becoming more and more true by the moment in this country.

yes, quite true...however the saying "Jets fans are morons" has ALWAYS been an absolute...since the first green slime oozed forth from primordial muck...

He managed to throw McElroy (for "lying" to the medical staff) and Tebow ("not happy" about not starting) under the bus, too.

I hope there is some depth for that bus. It's got to have some serious dings in it by now.

I guess they don't have to throw everybody under the bus if they can throw a few of them under steam rolling DL. Too bad they weren't playing Houston.

Hey, any word on when they spring the next sideline tripping incident? I'd like to catch it live.

 

[BananaRepublican]

LOL. Now they're bringing in the trick shot Norwegian kicker for a tryout.

Man, they gotta score some how, some way. Bring in clowns, trick kickers, powder puff champions, naked nuns, whatever you gotta do to get the job done.

Why is anyone shocked that Rex is trying to shoot his way out of town. The Jets are a mess. Not just because they are run so horribly, but because they are about 3 years away from even possibly competing with the Pats, Dolphins, and even the Bills. Here's why.

Next year they have 7 players (just 13% of the roster) who will count $80MM (67%) to a cap of 121MM. (Holmes, Sanchez, Harris, D'Brick, Mangold, Revis, and Cromartie) This doesn't count guy like Pace, Scott, Greene Thomas, Keller, etc who they will have to cut. That is crippling. What's worse is that those contract have all been restructured to the max. Although this is a lot of talk on JI about trading Revis or Sanchez, their contract make them virtually untradeable AND uncutable What it means is that the Jets will have just $41MM to pay 46 players. Which means more than half the Jet roster will be comprised of minimum wage players

They have the worst offense in the league and no way to get it better other than the draft. They have no way to resign Landry or Keller, and no way to change their horrific QB and WR situation. When you compare what the Jets have to look forward to with Miami's 5 picks in the first 3 rounds, and $47MM in cap space, and there is no comparison.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that if he stays the Jets HC next season, its only going to get worse. He can't quit because he wants the money, so he's doing the next best thing, trying to get fired.

Someone in the NY media gets it...Ryan can indeed be quite persuasive. Not to mention easily persuaded... That's why he will never be a competent HC. Too emotional not to mention unaccountable.

1. Fall guy: We know how Woody Johnson operates. If his team has a bad year, someone's head has to roll. This time, it'll probably be GM Mike Tannenbaum. He has made some poor decisions (the Tim Tebow trade, to name one), but anyone who thinks he made these moves without seeking input from Rex Ryan is mistaken. Tannenbaum doesn't have a scouting background, so he leans heavily on Ryan. At times, people in the draft room -- the talent evaluators -- feel like their voices aren't heard, according to sources. Do you think it's a coincidence the past three No. 1 picks were defensive players? Ryan can be very persuasive. In the end, Tannenbaum has the final say, so the decisions are on him, but he had plenty of help with them.

2. Tony $parano: A lot has been made of Sparano's contract situation, and how it might be hard to buy him out. Remember this: He received a contract extension before his final season with the Dolphins, who signed him through 2013. That significantly reduces the Jets' financial obligation, because the Dolphins have to pay him for another year.

Pondering Revis' comeback potential. Also pondering if the JEST will part with him while still paying part of the tab. Please don't fire Tanny.

Meh, pipedream.

Is that even legal in the NFL. I know they do it all the time in baseball. Can one team pay part of a players contract when he's playing for another team.
