Even in his prime though his arm strength was a major issue. The Raider game in the 2002 playoffs was hard to watch him throwing floater after floater when they they were playing 9 in the box.

That's where I'm at. They are missing some crucial pieces but theyve still got solid talent

Not counting rookies, they really don't have any talent anywhere but on the DL and 2 of those guys are big question marks coming off of really bad years. It's probably the worst roster in the NFL.

You guys cut a lot of names I was thinking of, and I'm used to you guys having pure stud Dlines.

I'm shocked. They've been decimated. Wtf

This was the right thing to do. They are much better off tearing it down than winning 6-7 games with vets on their last legs. There was no path toward being competitive in 2017.

On downs when richardson, wilkerson, and williams played at the same time, jets opponents had a qbr of 80 and 8 yards per attempt. Worse stats than when any one of them were on the bench. Not really sure how that happens if they are all monsters individually.

Are they much better when only 2 or 1 of them play? I would guess that that had a lot more to do with the horrific secondary and linebacker play they got last year... (Not saying that they don't need to get rid of at least 1 of the 3...)

Jets QB Josh McCown is getting the first-team reps and looks sharp. Christian Hackenberg, almost picked off on his first pass attempt in team drills, is working with the second team today. Still waiting for this so-called QB competition to get real.

These are never not entertaining.

Harris isn't a good player anymore. I like him as a person and it will be a feel bad to see him on that shitfuck team but it's a meh football move.

There is no way a good coach like Sean Payton or one of the hot college coaches comes to the Jets OTHER THAN if Darnold comes with the job. That is why they have to go 0-16.

A split with the Dolphins is possible, never count out the Chargers to lose a game they should win

My favorite part of their WYTS this year is the truest part: they're the Jets. They'll always do worse than you think. What's worse than getting 0-16 when it'd benefit you most is winning just enough games to not have the #1 pick, which is exactly why it's going to happen

They are gonna start Hackenberg too at some point and he has even less of a chance of lucking into a win than McCown does.

The team will suck until the johnsons sell dont get hopes up for next year.

There are lots of moronic owners who luck into a good team. It's possible that they actually do get a QB next year.

Theyre like incapable of staffing a competent office.

They basically hire people to tell them who to hire. It's not impossible that next time they hire someone competent, especially if a no brainier guy like a Sean Payton is available.

There is no way Bob Kraft is any smarter than Woody Johnson. He just hired the right coach and lucked into a qb.

Well Kraft is an accomplished businessman whereas Woody inherited $2 billion, managed to not lose it, and flips $100m penthouses for fun and profit.

I see 2 potentially winnable games on the Jets schedule this year, home v Bills and home v Jags. Anything else is just pure dumb luck.

You forget the Browns game.

They are gonna have Hack in there by the next bills game.

he does the two things that an owner needs to do to be a good owner: (a) hired the right coach (and GM) and (b) stayed the gently caress out of all decisions beyond those two and let the competent people he hired run the thing instead of sticking his fingers in repeatedly

you would think (b) would be easy but somehow a lot of owners find it difficult

Trust me, if his Coach/GM didn't win he wouldn't stat out of it. It's easy to leave a guy alone who wins.

jerry jones fired the guy who won him two super bowls because he was mad the coach was getting credit instead of jerry jones and the cowboys were stunningly mediocre for a long time as a result (despite the one super bowl they won with the departing coach's team that jerry took credit for)

I'd take that for the rest of my life.

If I owned the Bills it'd probably be pretty hard for me to just sit back completely and not meddle at all. I like Tyrod and Sammy and there was no way I'd let Fred Jackson go when they did.

Your decision making couldn't have been worse than the Bills over the last 10 years. Same with mine and the Jets.

after all its not all owners who will pay their QB under the table to make sure their GM has extra money for the rest of the team

There is no way Kraft came up with that himself. It's all Belichick.

As funny and deserved as it was, probably not the smartest career move for Harbaugh or any employee to call their boss a child in front of the entire organization

There were actually idiot Jet fans who thought the fact that they beat 2 terrible teams to go 2-2 meant they were any less horrible than people expected them to be.

Edit: They still just aren't close to as competent tankers as the Browns are though. Not in the same league.

Edit 2: They are gonna be taking bows all week for being 3-2 too.
