Poor Ray Ray.....
Your #1 WR has been on how many teams in the last 4 years?
Welker's been with the team since 2007.
Your WR's are average at best without Brady
Lloyd led the league without Brady, Gaffney had 947 yards last season
Only true beast on offense is Gronk, Hernandez is a nice compliment who will be a FA next year.
Hernandez' 79 receptions last season was 14 more than the leading Jets receiver had. He also doesn't become a free agent until 2014.
Brady's time is running out, and maybe sooner than later with no OL.[/i]
Solder is a first round pick
Mankins is a Pro Bowler and 2nd team All Pro
Koppen is a former Pro Bowler
Waters is a Pro Bowler
Vollmer is a former All Pro
With the exception of Koppen and Vollmer, both of whom were injured for most of last year, all played better than any Jets O-lineman not named Mangold.
The Jets, on the other hand, have Slauson (sucks)/Ducasse (bust), Hunter (turnstile), Ferguson (overrated turnstile), Moore (older than any Patriots O-lineman except Waters), Mangold (great player). When it comes to having no OL, the Jets are far closer to that than the Patriots. If you're basing QB survival on the offensive line, Mark "unlimited ceiling" Sanchez has less NFL time left than Brady.
The more I look at the comparisons, the more screwed I see the Jets if their top picks from this year and last year don't work out in a big, big way.
