The Jets are without a head coach.
Many of us have a different view.
There was a plan to start Maye as soon as was ready (and he was for Game 1), presuming that the OL has played together a bit, with a preliminary guess for Drake to start the MIA game at home.
Then came all the injuries to the OL with a different set of OL's every week.
Drake's start has been delayed. Last week, the OL was back to where they were in Game 1. A repeat this week should have Drake starting against JAX.
============
I get it that folks look at WAS and wish that we had started Maye for Game 1. The situations are very different. Both teams were terrible. However, WAS had a very good Offense and we had a very good Defense. There was every reason to start a youngster QB with a top Offense. There was much, much less reason to start a youngster behind one of the very worst offenses in the NFL, including one the very worst OL's.
I was in favor of starting Brissett at the start of the season, but the criterion for when Maye would start ought to have been decided on a rational basis, not on a "play Brisset until he's crippled" basis. There should have been in place a legit back up, which would have allowed the starting date for Maye to have been decided on a
rational basis with Maye's development in mind rather than on the basis of a crapshoot pertaining to Brissett's health. The outsized role in the matter of the failed o-line merely demonstrates
another aspect of the team's (the Krafts') failure to manage the team responsibly: the lazy decision to leave in place Eliot Wolf, a man who had already demonstrated under Bill that he is an incompetent nepo punk. The cheapskate, unaccountably foolish hiring of Van Pelt offers another example of the team's incompetence in building a leadership group for the rebuild. Aside from all this, Mayo's incompetence has been obvious in
other aspects of his performance to date. I will not go into the details, as they have been adduced ad nauseum by myself and many others. Perhaps you would care to point out where he has
succeeded as head coach up to now. I would certainly give him the rest of the season to show what he can do: that is only fair, but I will be very surprised, based on this performance to date and upon the flimsy basis upon which he was hired, to see him make much of that opportunity.
This team is badly managed, has been so for several years at this point. I am quite surprised , frankly, that this obvious point is as much in contention as it is.
