The 2013 season: The Jets suck (as usual)

I still think it is funny Jets fans still believe the myth that the Pats can't draft. That knock might have been valid three years ago, but few if any teams have drafted as well over the last three years as the Pats.

In fact, the Pats have gotten as more starters last year (3 with Hightower, Jones, and Dennard) based on last year's depth chart as the Jets have gotten in the last four drafts (2 with Wilkerson and Wilson and Wilson only started because Revis went down).

It's not that it's a myth as much as it's a product of just looking at the block of years that makes it look that way. The Patriots drafted well from 2001-2005. They didn't draft well from 2006-2009. Now, 2010-2012, they're back drafting well again. Well, it's no surprise that Jets fans focus on 2006-2009. Looking back is standard fare for them. They have to look back all the way to the '60s to find Jets excellence, after all.

Every team goes through dry periods in the draft. Belichick had like 4 bad/subpar drafts 13 drafts. I would say that is a myth, but I agree it is a myth pushed by Jets fans who only choose to look at a small sample size of the Pats' drafts under Belichick.

I still think it is funny though that there are Jets fans who think the Jets draft well and not just lunatics like Rah!Rah! and SG3.

I agree with what you're saying, but it's not just Jets fans. Fans on other boards have the same impression of the Patriots drafting. It's all about the scope of where they look.

Yeah, fans seem to point to a large number of misses while ignoring the far larger than average number of players who stick around and ignoring that it's not rare for us to pick 7-10 players.

Teams like the Jets have an awful roster and most of their draft picks can't break the starting lineup but NE gets criticized?
 
This Grantland spoof of the Wonderlic test is an epic win. The Venn diagram question is especially inspired. It's clearly written by someone who has seen the light and the truth.

Dear God,

Please make it so.


Signed,
Every non-Jets fan in the world.

I'm more excited for this (if true) then our own picks!

This would leave the Jets just with rounds 3-7 to fix their offensive line, RBs, TEs, WRs, essentially guarenteeing they will have the 32nd ranked offense.

Add in the fact this QB will suck just as bad as Sanchez, MAKE IT SO!
 
Oh. My. God.

I will sit watching the Jet forums with a bucket of popcorn and watch has all hell breaks loose.

It will be marvelous.

Get your popcorn ready. It might be coming in handy:

Jets have made calls today to multiple teams to try to move up from 39th spot in second round to draft QB. Debated Geno Smith at No. 13.

i can see it now...smith goes deep....intercepted by wilson!
 
Yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!

He can't throw. He can't think. He is A NEW JERSEY GREEN BEAN!!!
 
 
LOL

I actually liked Geno as a player, and thought he could have been a top 10 QB in 5 years. Not now. The Jets will absolutely RUIN his development.
 
There is only one explanation for this. Rex Ryan is trying to set an NFL record for the most dead money in the history of the salary cap.
 
BREAKING NEWS: Green Beans GM Idzik just announced that Li'l Marky Sanchez is open to competition! "We're not going to try and forecast anything, just put it on the field and let it play out." He then was asked to address the fact that Geno Smith has never played in cold weather ... Priceless stuff! :singing::singing::singing:
