Deadspin: Why Your Team Sucks 2013: The New York Jets

So many classic lines from the "fans"

The last time the Jets were in a Super Bowl, we hadn’t even landed on the moon yet.

**** Mo Lewis. Thanks for spawning Tom ******* Brady, ********.

1. We are the only team that the fake spike has worked against.

2. Our backup plan for our Super Bowl run in 1999 was Rick Mirer.

3. The most successful coach of this generation quit on a ****tail napkin on his first day of work.

4. Our most famous player (Namath) hates the team and makes the Hoff look like a member of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

5. Our present-day QB banged Kate Upton and is still a ******* loser.

6. Our fans. There are no worse people to be near at a sporting event than Jets fans. They are beyond trash. They are racist, coked-up losers, power drinking in the lot to blind themselves to the fact that they are bigger losers than the franchise they root for.

In defense of one of those commenters on the Deadspin post, I have to say that, in hindsight, I believe that Belichick resigning as head coach of the Jets on a napkin was inappropriate.

He should have used a roll of toilet paper instead.

Best-Case Scenario: The Jets get off to a hot start before fizzling out, but Ryan's reputation is restored to the point where he gets a contract extension. The Jets actually use the ashes of the Sanchez deal as the recycled paper for Ryan's extension. They cut Sanchez after the season and have a ceremony so that the door can literally hit him on the ass on the way out.

:rocker:

Where have you gone,Timmy Tebow?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
(Ooo ooo ooo).
What’s that you say, Mrs. Jetfanson?
"Tumblin' Tim" has left and gone away
(Hey hey hey, hey hey hey)...

Nine QBs in 18 Months

With all the other follies, I had completely forgotten some of these gems - including paying Drew Stanton a $500,000 signing bonus, and then trading him a week later.


A wild ride: Nine QBs in 18 months - New York Jets Blog - espnNew York

Does the Jets' quarterback situation make your head spin? Welcome to the club.

The last 18 months have been like a ride on the Coney Island Cyclone. We're talking about nine quarterbacks, three free-agent signings, three cuts, two trades, one draft pick, one retirement and one contract extension. Pop a dramamine, and relive the madness. ​

Under GM Mike Tannenbaum

• March 12, 2012: The Jets profess their faith in Mark Sanchez, rewarding a mediocre season with a three-year contract extension -- a total package of five years, $58 million.
  
  
• March 16: They sign former Lions backup Drew Stanton to serve as Sanchez's primary backup, giving him a $500,000 signing bonus.
  
  
• March 22: Stunning the NFL, the Jets trade for Tim Tebow and name him the No. 2 backup. Hello, quarterback controversy. Stanton immediately requests his release.
  
  
• March 24: Stanton is traded to the Colts. He makes a half-million bucks for a week of doing nothing.
  
  
• 2012 season: Pick a day, any day. Dysfunction reigns throughout the season.

Under GM John Idzik

• March 12, 2013: On the one-year anniversary of their commitment to Sanchez, the Jets sign veteran David Garrard to compete with Sanchez for the starting job. Team officials are blown away by his workout, downplaying (or ignoring) his chronic knee condition. Privately, they say he has a good chance to win the job.
  
  
• April 27: They draft Geno Smith in the second round, changing the landscape of the position. Idzik, with a straight face, calls it an open competition with six QBs -- Smith, Sanchez, Tebow, Garrard, Greg McElroy and neophyte Matt Simms.
  
  
• April 30: After showing up for two weeks of off-season workouts, Tebow finally gets his release -- a foregone conclusion.
  
  
• May 15: Unable to make it through a month of OTAs, Garrard announces his retirement, citing chronic knee pain -- an unexpected snag in Idzik's grand plan.
  
  
• Aug. 9: Smith sprains an ankle in his first preseason game. Another snag.
  
  
• Aug. 24: Sanchez suffers a significant shoulder injury because of Rex Ryan's controversial decision to play him in the fourth quarter behind the second-team line -- yet another snag in the plan. This time, it's a $715,000 mistake. Read on.
  
  
• Aug. 28: The Jets sign Packers castoff Graham Harrell, giving them five quarterbacks. The depth chart is growing at a time when most teams are cutting down.
  
  
• Aug. 31: McElroy is waived with an injury. Simms, their best quarterback in the preseason, makes the 53-man roster.
  
  
• Sept. 1: The Jets quietly fly the well-traveled Brady Quinn into town for a workout.
  
  
• Sept. 2: With Sanchez expected to miss a few weeks, the Jets sign Quinn to a one-year deal, probably for the $715,000 veteran minimum. Harrell is released. Quinn is expected to open the season as the No. 2 quarterback, essentially filling Tebow's role. That's interesting because Quinn wasn't good enough to beat out Tebow in 2011 with the Broncos.

This can only happen to the Jets

:rocker:

Good read - though the writers give Wrecks some credit for effectively being the "rodeo clown" for the Jets - diverting attention onto himself rather than on the players.

Of course rodeo clowns aren't supposed to CREATE high pressure situations for their players either - like "guaranteeing a Super Bowl victory."

Twice.

Barnwell wrote a great column there. Entertaining reading.
God Bless Kraft, Belichick & Brady.

Jets season is dead on arrival - NYPOST.com

"PREDICTION

4-12

It’s going to be a long season for the Jets as the rebuilding begins. There is just not enough talent on offense. New GM John Idzik has sacrificed the short term for long-term gains.

That last part is pure bull****. If they were sacrificing the short-term they would have traded one or both of their two first rounders into next year and just stunk it up this year with Unlimited Ceiling-chez. Instead Ryan persuaded Idzik to give him two players solely intended to buff his 'reputation' as a defensive guru for when he gets his next job.

Wrecks already has checked out mentally and emotionally. The smart thing for Woody and Idzik would've been to fire him before the season started.

Great news for AFCE fans! The Jets have decided to get a head start on ruining Geno Smith:

The Jets did what they had to do this week, and what they probably needed to do all along.

The team announced that rookie quarterback Geno Smith would start this week, which was kind of obvious given the condition of Mark Sanchez’s shoulder — unless Brady Quinn was going to make a late run at the job.

I'm hoping the Bucs can put up something like a 7 sack, 3 INT kind of game to really help with the kid's development.

I want the JEST to be just un-cr*ptacular enough that they're out of the Clowney sweepstakes.

 

[resdubwhite]

I'd like to see them win a few this season. maybe 4 or 5.

Just so they don't get a good pick next year.

My bet: Bucs will set a new record for safeties. Hunting Gina Smith out of her own endzone.:rocker:

Hunting Gina Smith out of her own endzone.

There's no need to resort to nicknames that demean women to make fun of Gino Smith. He's easy enough to ridicule: he's a Jet, which should be embarrassment enough!

I'm hoping the Bucs can put up something like a 7 sack, 3 INT kind of game to really help with the kid's development.

I'd rather he take 3 sacks and give up 7 INT's, with a few pick-6's for good measure (just to rub it in).
