Content Post Jets Suck -- 2018 Edition (Official): Fifty Fabulous Years of Futility!

[Koma]

In your wildest dreams, can you imagine BB talking publicly at MID-SEASON about looking forward to the coming off-season? I can't. At 3-5, the Jete should be all-in, desperate for wins to salvage 2018. Instead, their GM is talking about NEXT year. It's mind-blowing. I thought only Jete fans behaved like this, but delusion comes from the top of the organization! The Jete are the organizational equivalent to a rotting fish.

How easy would it be for any GM to say they're focused on this season and cut off any talk about next season? What Maccagnan should be saying is that he thinks this is could be an 11-5 or 10-6, a playoff contender. Nothing's going to significantly change about offseason cap room between now and the start of free agency. Focus on the team that's playing now. Build them up publicly. If they can finish .500 or better, then you can say "This was a competitive squad and guess what? We've got enough cap room to make them even better next year." Maccagnan doesn't say that because, you know, Jets.

Our resident Jets fan was telling us that last year didn't matter because the poor results were worth grabbing a franchise QB in the draft. Now the GM is telling us that this year doesn't matter because 2019 will be year. Next year, it will something else, like injuries, but we'll hear how 2020 is really going to be the year they put it all together. Just keep pushing that pushing that deadline down the road.

The other problem with pointing to all this cap room is that you still need to convince players to come to the Jets. The Jets offered Kirk Cousins more money than Minnesota but he went to the Vikings. They offered a better deal for Khalil Mack, but he ended up with the Bears. More cap room does not guarantee the best free agents will sign with you.

Massive cap room is generally a very bad thing. It means spending all that cash on poor value, high cost free agents rather than having homegrown players to invest in at market value. That’s why successful teams are generally closer to the cap at the beginning of each offseason. We’ve seen it happen so many times where a team has like $70M in cap space, sign a bunch of big names, continue to suck, and just repeat the cycle again in a few years.

They should just never talk and let us figure out whether they're trying. There doesn't seem to be that much of a difference in the result.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Boy, that must suck.

I think what's becoming clear already, is that the JETE just drafted "a guy" again, not the messiah, but they drafted him way high.

So, that being the case, they're going to have to give him 1-2 more years before someone gets the bright idea of moving on t0 the "best chance to win the game" (you know, to motivate him to become what you thought he was,) then making it impossible for that guy to go anywhere by playing them both on and off for a year or two. Then it's back to another draft-day savior who's presently lighting up his AAA high school conference as a junior.

Sigh. 50+ years already... the years go by so fast. And in New York, the quarterbacks.

Man, they've gotta be happy in San Francisco and KC. They have dreams in their heads about being the next New England.

Don't feel bad, Jetefan. Your team regularly contributes to the glory of the REAL New England. Our story is your story too, really.

Darnit just threw one of the worst interceptions I've seen in a while. Hit Kiko Alonzo in the numbers on a 15 yard pass.

Great news for Jete fans today from the announcers of that Toilet Bowl. Apparently "interceptions don't bother Sam Darnold". So he'll be at peace walking head down towards the sidelines down three scores. I'd hate for my QB to be bothered by a minor thing like that.

 

[Kontradiction]

3 INTs for Darnold so far.

 

[Clonamery]

3 INTs for Darnold so far.

Make it 4.

I think he likes throwing int, looks like it anyway .

 

[JetFan79]

On the bright side, Jamal Adams looks freakin awesome.

 

[reflexblue]

Darnit.......lost again

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

On the bright side, Jamal Adams looks freakin awesome.

Yeah!!! How do Mahomes and Watson look, since Adams was drafted over them. I see a lot of silver linings from those Jets draft moves.

 

[slam]

If I’m looking to hire an NFL GM, my test would be this: sit him in front of an NFL simulator set to “Jets pre-2017 offseason”. If the guy can’t figure out how to put in place a franchise QB with a solid offensive supporting cast in two years that’s at least 2x better than the real Jets he’s out of the running.

Seriously. You want to go through all the Patriot draft picks and find players drafted above them who are better?

Ha, c'mon man.

Ha, c'mon man.

Go through whatever you want. The end result is the patriots win and the jets do not.

 

[Tunescribe]

For you, there IS no bright side. Just another ...

 

[Joker]

what did I tell you, Tunes...see it? he couldn't wait to log on and brag about a GODDAMNED SAFETY! Shytdell changes the rules to favor all offense and offensive players, the stool eating Bowels Boys choose SAFETIES with their round one picks! You can't make this idiocy up if you were high on LSD,METH,COKE & HEROIN. The fact that there are literally THOUSANDS of idiots out there that think exactly like this worm should make everyone very very disappointed about the future of this country.

 

[Tunescribe]

Darnit.......lost again

Seriously, what an odd-looking human being. He looks like a cartoon character. And he's the primary reason his team lost vs. Miami. New Jersey would've been much better off starting McClown this season over Blockhead Blunder Boy. What a waste.

 

[TommyD4207]

All in all it's just another kick in the balls.
