Rex won't be around by the time this team is ready to make a real run. Start over next year. Bring in Payton, let him pick a new GM.....

remember Kenny Obrien and the 1985 Jets? Great friggin offense. Couldn't stop a nosebleed on defense.

Odd. The 1985 Jets were ranked 3rd in points allowed, 8th in yards allowed, 2nd in t/g differential, and 3rd in both point and yardage differential. Maybe the damn internet is on the fritz again.

Hey check it out, just for fun, I googled '1985 Jets defense,' and this SI review of a December game came up. Highlights include:

Any discussion of the 1985 Jets must begin with Carson's defense: complex, ever changing, cerebral principles translated into the quick strike and relentless pressure.

The Jet defense is a testimony to Carson's ingenuity. An injury-ridden secondary has performed at a consistently high level, with a lineup that's ever changing. Lynn, for instance, has bounced around every defensive backfield position. Carson got together with his linebacker coach, Dan Radakovich, who was with him in Pittsburgh and L.A., and decided to switch Lance Mehl, one of the game's finest outside backers, to the inside, where he's having an All-Pro year.

The difference between the Jets who were 6-6 after 12 games last year and the current 9-3 team is 831 fewer yards given up. New York came into the Patriots game ranked second in defense in the AFC.

In unrelated news I am still single.

If he goes anywhere, it'd be Cleveland.

maybe i was thinking of the wrong year. regardless that team didn't win jack squat in terms of hardware

maybe it's just hard to win in the league, and firing people every 3-5 years doesn't really help

Payton and Romo I'd sign up for.

If we only kept Bruce Coslet

I don't see how keeping incompetents who have made the team worse and less talented every year they have been here helps.

I'd like to think that too, but as my cycloptic colleague likes to often point out, the world is a cruel place completely devoid of light in which hope, belief, and even existence are completely meaningless.

Hello friend.

[Jetsouth]

I don't get why JETS fans would want a HC who just barely escaped criminal charges (and the proverbial fat lady has not bellowed as yet) with his current team.
Payton is a gum chewing coolio HC with a recent SB win.. but hello.. Seems he went to the pats school of game planning imo..

Sure its fun to have a badass HC.. as long as that a$$hole doesnt' get half the team and the entire coaching staff benched for a season or two.. The Saints are having a great year, don't you think with that smashtabulous HC payton.. (Wow.. I had no idea smashtabulous was a word.. )

[Smashmouth]

Yeah, just like the middling offense he ran in middle of decade with Bledsoe at QB, he's proven time and time again he can produce irregardless of QB

Well the way I see it if Sanchez has to be here for another year due to the guaranteed money next year Payton would be a good choice to attempt to turn his career in the right direction. If he cant, at least we have a proven HC to choose the next QB and begin building a competent offense. I can picture a guy like Payton being capable of running an entire organization as a GM/HC not many of those types out there.

[Jet27]

It is worth a shot. You have nothing to lose.

For me that would be a nice change.....Done with Wrecks Ryan at this point in time

Maybe because we've fired the wrong people.

Tannenbaum must go. That's it.

[SMC]

If he is in fact available, it is an absolute no brainer to pursue him, which means Woody won't do it.

[Larz]

he's not leaving brees

narlens stood by him and didn't fire him, he owes them

he's not leaving

get over it

for one thing there is no way he leaves unless hes promised a small country or something.

other then that phew they do not run the ball at all i dont think hed be the guy to help sanchez asking him to essentially carry the entire offense like he does brees

[JetsFanInDenver]

What I want to know is did they void Mikey Loomis's contract as well. Now that might be interesting!

when the Saints won the SB they were a top 5 rushing team and they have always had one of the best RB corps in the entire game. Remember Brees dumps off to his running backs more than any other QB in the game and thats by design. That offense will nickel and dime you to death then strike up top the Jets simply do not have that capability and are not even close. The Saints have Thomas, Sproles, Ingram and Ivory and from what I saw last night any one of those RB's would be a starter on the Jets. Every one of those running backs can catch the football, everyone of those running backs can be shifty or run hard.

When it comes to Payton I agree the chances are very slim of the Jets luring him in. Dont take what I said seriously Im well aware Payton wont be here but one can have hope .
