Manning was 35 and Montana was 37. Rodgers is about to be 40 and was coming off of his worst season.

And nevermind what a weirdly curated list that is in the first place, heh.

It's time to accept what Osama tried to teach us back in 2001. Jets don't belong in New York.

It's going to be tough because it sounds like they've finally just re-allocated the RFK Stadium site which is still somehow being torn down. That site probably would've been an ideal fit. It's going to have a public skatepark and stuff so that's pretty cool.

They'll probably end up in Virginia or remain in Maryland. The Caps/Wizards arena was built on top of Chinatown and practically destroyed it, so I don't think going the same route for a much larger stadium and land requirement would go over well.

In a related note, Josh Harris is angling to build a Sixers arena on top of Philly's Chinatown. It's not going over well and it better not happen.

3 years of no playoffs is a tough sell for a new coach to keep their job, but Saleh might be able to by blaming the QB room

Unless there is a no brainer coaching hire available, there is no way the Jets will be able to find the next great coordinator for their next coach. The jets aren't well coached but this is a roster construction issue with a GM who has royally hosed up QB and OL for as long as he's been here.

He’s a defensive head coach. Their defense since he took over went from like 31st in the league to top 3 minimum. How can you pretend his coaching isn’t responsible?

I also think Saleh should get a pass and is possibly a good coach but we're all saying this immediately after he beat the division favorites on prime time with Zach Wilson. If the Jets go 6-10 the rest of the way, the sentiment will probably change.

It's players, not scheme. Their talent is way better than when they took over so they are better. I think their scheme is pretty mediocre.

Not good enough since he's hosed up the two most important positions. QB and OL.

People are gonna say look how much talent they have on this team as they win 7 games again and Douglas' W-L record as GM becomes even more pathetic.

The scheme is obviously working for the players they have. Quinnen was underwhelming and you bitched about him being drafted until Saleh unlocked him. Guys like JFM, and Quincy Williams, and DJ Reed were either waiver pickups or mid-tier FA that he turned into top-flight talent. Bryce Huff. Michael Carter II. These aren't guys with pedigree but he gets massive production out of. That's good coaching.

Would you prefer schematic defensive super genius Brandon Staley?

This is the THIRD YEAR Douglas has been caught without a backup QB who can play at all. He deserves to be fired for that alone. The Jets aren't going to do anything because they will use the Rodgers injury as an excuse but objectively he's a complete failure as a GM no matter how much he's improved the roster. The results are what they are. The Jets have had a bottom 3 in the league QB situation literally EVERY SINGLE YEAR he's been the GM. GTFO.

If you're the GM of an NFL team and you're making 6 million a year it's your job to figure the gently caress out how not to have the worst QB play in the league every year of your tenure and if you royally fail at that, I'm allowed to want you fired.

No the best move would have been signing Derek Carr without giving up draft assets, but Douglas made it clear he was the backup plan if the Rodgers deal fell through so Carr immediately signed with the Saints who made it clear he was their #1 choice.

Look, it’s impossible for NYC sports fans to ever say than anything is okay. The Yankees could win 140 games and sweep the World Series and they would be bitching about the bullpen having a 3.x ERA. If they had any power, they would fire the OC the first team the team had to punt, fire the HC the second time, and burn the stadium to the ground if it happened again. There is absolutely no point in engaging with these guys.

There was some good later round rookie qb play in the preseason, and some other semi-forgotten backups that are still pretty young and might be able to be obtained through trade. I think I'd try and go that direction instead of Winston, Brissett, or whoever.

They get killed on screens and draws because it's too predicable and they play too much cover 2 but any scheme is going to look good with the amount of talent they have on the DL right now. It's not like they are outsmarting anyone.... their guys are winning their 1 on 1s.

It's not because it's predictable; that's literally how quarters coverage works. It's exploitable through underneath routes because assuming 4 rushers, you only have 3 linebackers or 2 linebackers and a safety to cover a large swatch of field close to the LOS. You do this to take away the deep game, which they've been wildly successful at.

It works against Josh Allen particularly because he's not wired to play in a manner to beat it.

Yeah I don't disagree with anything you said, they match up really well against the Bills. But when they get against an offense that is a worse matchup and can get them underneath, they haven't adjusted well enough in the time Saleh has been here and they have been really hurt. The Lions pantsed them like that last year and the Patriots do it every time they play. Maybe they will adjust this year but I haven't seen it yet.

It's particularly funny because when the Bills needed a FG, they then did exactly that

Their last drive went

7 yard scramble
6 yard pass
15 yard pass
8 yard pass (OPI)
15 yard pass
10 yard pass (all the above short passes with some yac where applicable)
Then a deep incompletion to the endzone, then a short incompletion, then FG

Coulda just done that all game and mixed in more rushing and not turned the ball over 4 times, but lol.

Impossible to say since the Jets made very clear that they didn’t really want him, but I doubt he’d have met with them if he wasn’t open to going there and it’s certainly a better roster situation than New Orleans.

I didn't say it's bad. I said it doesn't matter if it's good if the same guy who built it hosed up both QB and OL without which you can't win games.

What’s the point of keeping a coach and GM who can build a great defense if they still can’t get you more than 7 wins a year?

They’ve had some poo poo luck but that’s true of basically every coach/GM that gets fired. At some point you are your record and it’s looking like they’re going to be well below .500 at the end of three years.
