Next time you spout off, get a clue.
I have a better idea, how about you suck your mom's ****?
Could you be any more of a brain dead homer?
Could Jets fans be anymore desperate?
Do you really think the Jets got rid of their best OL'n?
Yes they did. Even if you're in denial about what effect it will have on the passing game (liability or not, he'd still be an improvement over Ducasse at this point as Ducasse is a rookie), his presence will almost certainly be missed in the running game. He also make Ferguson a much better looking LT when he began lining up next to him.
They have one of the top OL coaches in the league, the move both salary cap driven and performance driven, Faneca is a liability in pass protection, they have a kid they are high in who they drafted last year in Slauson that nobody here would know, and the kid they drafted this year has some quality potential.
Yeah, we have a guy named Bussey that no Jets fan would know either. Like Slauson, nobody knows exactly what Bussey is capable of. Are you really counting on him or Ducasse to come in and immediately produce at a Pro Bowl level?
Leon Washington went down in week 5 last year, are you really trying to spin he is a big loss when they went to the AFC Championship without him?
And look what happened in the AFC Championship when Shonn Greene went down and there wasn't anybody behind him that could be a viable threat in the backfield. And really, you shouldn't use the AFC Championship to make a point. The Jets should have been 7-9 last year but got the luck of the draw for the last few weeks of the season.
The pre-surgery Leon was a big loss, not the post-career threatening injury Leon,
It's pretty much fact that a compound fracture is easier for an athlete to get over than a torn ligament in, say, the knee.
they drafted a comparable player in McKnight to replace him.
McKnight lasted until the later rounds in a draft that was absolutely piss-poor for running backs. Nobody wanted him up until the point that the Jets took him. On top of that, if you're going to try to throw out the point about Leon Washington because of his injury, you definitely shouldn't make the logical error of counting in a rookie who was taken in the later rounds who hasn't even touched a handoff in a professional game. That's just horrible logic, not that I'm suprised being that it's coming from a Jets homer.
Ladanian Tomlinson is actually younger than Jones, I love it how some have spun the Jets have lost a big player in Thomas Jones but don't factor in LT. He has a chip on his shoulder and is reunited with Schottenheimer, the Chargers went away from a running philosophy in their offense, that isn't the case in NY.
First of all, Schottenheimer was a quarterbacks coach with San Diego. He didn't work directly with Tomlinson. Second of all, you didn't replace Thomas Jones with L.T. You replaced Jones with Shonn Greene. You replaced Greene with L.T. Third of all, anybody with two eyes (this includes Charger fans prior to L.T. getting traded. And if you don't believe me, just skim their threads from a few months back) can tell you that L.T. is absolutely, positively, on his last legs. He is just about done. He looks like Larry Johnson after the tires began to fall off and Priest Holmes before him.
Holmes is solid? LMAO, he's a Super Bowl MVP and a pro bowl calliber WR. Edwards with a full off-season and focused, not to mention happy where is, will be huge.
Holmes was a Super Bowl MVP with a guy who would have been a HOFer had he been able to resist the rape throwing to him. Sanchez is another story. He was, by far, the worst QB in the league last year who didn't weigh 300 pounds and play for the Raiders.
They still have Sanchez? That's a bad thing? Again, you're a clown homer, the kid has franchise QB potential.
Could he improve? Maybe. But chances are it won't be sizeable. Even then, there are far more QB's with rookie years like Sanchez's who washed out of the league afterward than there are QB's with similar rookie years who went on to become franchise quarterbacks. If he has another year like he did in 2009, you idiots will turn on him like sharks that smell blood in the water.
The Jets didn't lose Ellis, Einstein, Jenkins is only 30 years old, that is young for a NT.
Jenkins is 30 years old with bad knees and a lengthy injury history. Not really a good thing.
I know you're spinning hard to downplay the off-season the Jets have had, but consider that they went to the AFC Championship before the players they have brought in, factor in the return of Kris Jenkins, the year and development of Sanchez, and a year of experience in Rex system on defense with the addition of players like Cromartie and Brodney Pool, the Jets have a very talented team and without question should be considered a favorite this year.
L.T. is just about done, Holmes is suspended for the first quarter of the season when the Jets face the first part of their division schedule, Jason Taylor has always been a liability against the run and was suddenly a liability in the pass rush last season (on top of being as old as dirt), Cromartie is incredibly overrated and hasn't had a good season since 2007 (on top of the fact that he doesn't like to tackle), and you guys are very much overrating Brodney Pool. This is on top of the fact that you'll be starting someone who is highly inexperienced at LG. Really, the only people who consider you guys favorites are the media (New York based, of course), and for that the Jets are awarded a big bullseye on their backs from teams asking themselves, "who the hell is this sh!t team that hasn't won anything since the first lunar landing and why are they talking?".
