The Jets Are Bad, But Are They 0-16 Bad?
By these measures, the 2016 Jets were at least as good as, if not significantly better than, all the one- and zero-win squads of this era.
Well hey, there's something to hang your hat on and rally around.
It wasn’t all positive, of course — these are the Jets, after all.
Has there ever been any better example of 'stating the obvious' than this?
The Jets’ air attack is likely to be less effective in 2017 than it was in 2016, even if the motley trio of Josh McCown, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg can combine to be better than the Jets’ league-worst quarterback corps (67.6 team passer rating) from 2016.
Sounds like being challenged to race against someone with a broken leg ... and losing.
So take heart, Jet fans: Even with the worst team in football, 0-16 is a tough feat to pull off.
There is no way any sane person would take that bet.
