A few thoughts on the Jets

Well, it's the end of the season again.
Our Lions made quite a respectable showing (for once) and the Lions look like they're gonna be in even better shape next year.
The Jets?? Not so much.
I'm gonna go ahead and ignore all the stories of named (Mason) and unnamed Jets players releasing statements about how horrible the Jets franchise is, and how horrible the locker room is. How selfish all the players are (NFL players are selfish? Who knew?) and how much of a baby Sanchez is. (Well, maybe I won't ignore the comments about Sanchez. I kind of enjoy them.)
I know a bunch of people on this board hate Rex Ryan.
I do not.
In fact I kinda like him.
I think he's hilarious. He says funny stuff. He talks smack which I love, (the time he dressed up like his brother was one of the funniest press conferences I've seen) and he's really easy to make fun of. (Wes Welker did it the best, IMO) Just fun all around. I'm glad he's in the league. Yeah, I know liking Rex Ryan is gonna lose me a lot of friends around here, but I'm kinda banking on the fact that I've been a member of POD long enough that most of you guys don't like me by now anyway. Whether you like Rex Ryan or not, you gotta admit he's a pretty darned good coach. In fact, Ryan and Schwartz are the only surviving coaches of the coaches named to head coaching positions in 2009. I think that says something about both of them.
And Ryan has got some things to think about this offseason. Moreso than Schwartz, IMO.
It is becoming clear that Sanchez is a problem. (How could this happen to a QB from USC? I thought they ALWAYS turned out to be Hall of Fame players!) Whether he really is as lazy as the media would like us to think (I take everything I read about teams in NY with a grain of salt) and whether he is a baby or whatever, I think his play on the field tells most of us something needs to happen if the Jets are gonna find themselves back in the AFC Championship game again.
So, despite the fact that I know the opinion here will be a little skewed, here's the question:
Do you guys think the Jets need to get a QB this offseason?
If so, who? How? Draft? (They pick 16th) Flynn? (Heard he might follow Regis Joe Philbin to Miami) One player mentioned a need to have a dude behind Sanchez to "push" him (that was NOT a gay joke). Maybe a proven backup named Shaun Hill? or Drew Stanton? Maybe Favre? (Okay, sorry, I had to say that one) It seems Santonio Holmes isn't the most popular guy presently, he might be good in a trade. Or maybe you guys think they're good for now. Unfortunately for Sanchez, being from the same draft class, I will always compare him to Stafford which I admit might not really be fair to Sanchez. But even Josh Freeman seems to show more promise than Sanchez. Sanchez kinda reminds me of another USC guy, Matt Lienert. (Speaking of which, what's up with TJ Yates? Not sure about his contract, but he might be good trade bait.)
In other words, is Sanchez done?

Hate aside
I would draft a QB in the second round to help push the “Sanchize” and grab a reciever in the first.

Should be a rule in the NFL now
Don’t draft guys from USC in the first round.
Do you guys remember last year when that Jets fan came over to talk about the Jets-Lions rivalry?

Goes all the way back to Pat Haden for me
A completely overrated football school as far as Im concerned. Certainly a lot of great players but a horrific amount of high level busts as well. Obviously poorly coached busts, to boot.

A first round pick spent on a backup defensive end. Great value there.

I dont think sanchez is good in the least.
but no worse than eli(probably get ripped for that one). They need a receiver bad, and obviously a running back to get back to rex’s run first offense.
Holmes is a great reciever. He just needs to learn to
shut his mouth and pray he gets a better qb to throw to him.
Did you guys see the size of that chicken?
Yeah
The quarterback that hasn’t done shit in three years is as good as the quarterback that nearly passed for 5K, has won a Super Bowl and is playing for another ring in a couple of weeks. This makes soo much sense!

If I were in charge of the Jets I would
hit myself in the nads with a chain maul just after I soaked them in sulfuric acid for being such a douche by hiring sexy rexy and drafting markypoo.

Maybe new offensive coordinator will help
Look at Alex Smith. I’m not saying hes great or even good, but he mostly made plays to help the team instead of hurting his team
Personally I think Shaun Hill is better than Sanchez.

I think Dan Orlovsky is better than Mark Sanchez

I’m just glad there is no more main stream national media mark sanchize love anymore. You know, “leading” them to two nfc championship games in a row and all that stuff. And being better than stafford. That is all.

good stuff...lol...
Rex will be gone after next year. The fans/owners won’t put up for another season like this one.

Sanchez can stay
The blueprint is the 49’ers and one that the Jets looked like they were following. All of a sudden this season they have Mark come out and be a gunslinger.
Sanchez = Alex Smith.
Get the D back to where it should be. Renew the ground and pound maybe with the help of a couple O line changes and they will be in the hunt next year.

Ground and pound
I wonder how much longer this is gonna be a viable offense.
The Giants are in the Superbowl and dead last in rushing offense. The Patriots are 20th. Even our Lions proved you don’t need a run game to be top 5 in offense.
"Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid."
- John Wayne
Well I don't think they will win a superbowl
But they will always be in the mix. The teams they are probably going to have to contend with in the future in the playoffs, Ravens, Pitt, Bengals maybe Miami.
I just feel like the top AFC teams not including New England probably are not going to be putting up 40.

Yes, the Giants have transformed from a running team (see 2007)
to primarily a passing team. The Jets will never have that choice unless they get another qb.
Did you guys see the size of that chicken?
the jets need to run the football more go to short passing game because that is want thier qcb is good at .also draft a qcb or maybee macke a trade with the lions for one our backups to help push your starting qcb . both our backups could be upgrade for team say hill for a 4rd pick in this draft might be just want you need to macke the playoff next year .
Good points, KW
They need to play to Sanchez’s strengths. (Well, at least stop playing to his weaknesses.)
I think in the near future though, these run-first teams are gonna have to evolve. The rules are way too easy on passing offenses. It’ll be interesting to see what a new OC is gonna do in NY.
As this imbalance between rushing and passing becomes more and more pronounced, I realize more and more why drafting Stafford was one of the most important things this franchise has done since the change over in the FO. Schwartz’s insistence on taking a QB really has shown not only that he understands where this league is presently, but also where it is headed.

Lions Backup QBs..
The unfortunate thing about Hill and Stanton… they’re free agents.
I see improvement in your typing…. Nice work.

Perhaps Rex will someday learn that the story should be the team and not him
As long as the Jets allow their HC to wallow in publicity they are going to continue to be a good punch line instead of a contender
"Common Sense, isn't" Solomon Short
I said they should draft a QB @ 16
First off I don’t Sanchez is the worst QB ever but I do think someone drafted in the first round this year could easily push / overtake him.
Second I would love to see another year of people grabbing all these QB’s before the Lions pick. After all how many QB’s were picked before we went last year? Nobody thought Fairley would fall that far so I am hoping for another case of a top player we just cant pass on this year.
I’m curious, who here would complain if Trent Richardson fell into our lap this year?
NYC is a brutal place to play in
I was living there the year the Giants won the SB. They treat their athletes like shit. Eli had an advantage by having both a famous father and brother so he kind of knew what he was in for and had the good sense to live in Jersey. (He even caught shit for that.)
Sanchez was nothing but raw meat to the NYC media. They’ve got him so screwed up; he can’t tell his head from ass. It’s a tough place to mature.
The only thing I like better than watching the Jets implode,
Is watching the Cowgirls do the same.Thank you Jets for sending Callahan down there as the new Cowgirls OC.
