Jokes aside, this would in theory make them a better team. In today's NFL, passing rules the day. A team which is equally above baseline in passing yds/attempt will win more games than that same team equally above baseline in running yds/attempt. The sky is blue too.
It was a bad idea to begin with. Especially since you end up paying the players that make it happen about the same in both cases.
I'm not too worried. You need the right offensive players to make it happen and they don't have them. Especially in the one year window the Rex has to get it done. But I guess they really can't get any worse on O. So maybe it's a smart move by Rex. Purely by regression back to the mean the should improve and he can take the credit of any improvement when he gets the inevitable ax.
One other interesting quote from the presser is that both Rex and Woody agree that the QB spot is wide open. It seems the era of coddling Sanchez is over too.
Mods: Why the merge? Can't we discuss ending the ground and pound, the Jets offensive identity for the last 4 seasons, without it going into the Jokes thread?
