Matt39 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 i don't think it's realistic to expect the Jets to go from 8-8 to win the Super Bowl. And then when that doesn't happen, claim that firing everyone will make it better. Super Bowl victories are built over the course of years. Sanchez showed up at the tail end of a window. that window closed. Another one will open. But they don't open every year. We talk about the quality of ownership, the implication is that if the Jets had won a Super Bowl, Woody would be an amazing owner. I just don't think this is a realistic goal for fans to believe every year that the Jets could win the Super Bowl. As strange as this may sound. I dont think championship game appearances as a WC make you any more close than finishing 8-8. The teams we lost to in both games, and the potential teams we would have played in the SB we werent better than. We were dogs in both games and would have been heavy dogs in the SB.

Maxman Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 put it another way the reason why the Jets are not a legit contender is because of their QB situation. Woody doesn't really fight with Tanny and Rex. If these guys say Sanchez is the guy, who is Woody to say they are wrong? Woody is not perfect but I respect that he knows his limitations. the solution is not to have an owner who makes all the draft picks. He can fire Tanny and hire someone better. But he's a couple of degrees of Kevin Bacon away from the problem. If we find out you are on a board of directors for a company with Woody and DeWayne Robertson you will lose all credibility.

coydoggie Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks, guys If you look at all the Jets that have gone on to have significant or at least good careers after getting dumped: Woodhead, Santana Moss, Leon Washington, John Abraham, Weatheford, etc... and then to ditch guys like Thomas Jones and Alan Faneca - there seems to be a penchant to constantly reset - excessive tweaking - you start to get the feeling that Rex Ryan is just the next last big thing - I really think Woody has ADD and the juice for him is the chase (Brett Favre, for example). I remember watching Rex's defense his first year here and saying to myself - holy sh*t - this is like watching Mike Tyson run across the ring and behead his opponents when he was like 17 years old. between not drafting guys who can bring it and constantly resetting - the Jets do not stand for anything The Steelers, Giants, Pats (I so f'ing hate them) Ravens, etc... are after it every year a couple of guys make good points - you just want your team in the mix and then - when the gods smile down on us (David Tyree, etc...) you get yourself an SB or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayNoToDMC Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Woody Johnson takes offense at talk he only cares about PSLs Posted by Michael David Smith on November 15, 2012, 2:06 PM EST AP Jets owner Woody Johnson is not pleased with the talk that he cares more about how much money he can make from personal seating licenses than he cares about the team’s win-loss record. Johnson addressed the media today and said that he doesn’t appreciate suggestions that he only wants to add to his billions. Johnson says what he really wants is to win the Super Bowl. “This I really want to clear up,” Johnson said, via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. “You guys have been accusing me of this phony story of me being more concerned with PSLs or cash or something else. Listen, my job 1, 2 and 3 is to win games. That’s why I got into football to begin with – is to win games. It’s not to sell PSLs or anything else. My job is to win games. That’s what my passion is. That’s what I want to do. That’s why I’m spending all this time in this organization. It’s not to sell PSLs or to sell hot dogs.” Johnson also said he remains committed to Mark Sanchez as the quarterback to lead the team, although he also acknowledged that all players are evaluated on an ongoing basis. “He is our franchise quarterback,” Johnson said of Sanchez. “That’s what he is.” But Sanchez is a franchise quarterback who has had a rough season, just like the Jets have. Johnson acknowledges it’s not good enough. “I didn’t sign up for a 3-6 season. We haven’t had one of these in a while. I’m not happy about it. Yet I am optimistic,” Johnson said. And when Johnson says he’s optimistic, he means he thinks he’ll some day hold the Vince Lombardi Trophy, not that he’ll lead the league in revenue. http://profootballta...res-about-psls/ I hope this can put an end to all the silly PSL talk. This man is all about winning championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachEY Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Only the truth could elicit a reaction like this. I don't completely agree. I think Woody really does want to win. But, I think profit is also obviously important, as it would be to any of us holding a billion dollar asset. The truth is, I don't think Woody has a clue what he's doing from a football standpoint. He got Parcells, who he knew was good, based on reputation. Parcells supported Tannenbaum, so Woody is still going by that and trusting that a guy who he knew was good endorsed this guy, so he must be good. Even the Tebow decision can be looked at in this way. If we believe it's Woody's call, and not Tannenbaum (who took credit for it), obviously the headlines fit the business aspect, but I wouldn't doubt that Woody actually believed that Tebow could help this team based on the Broncos season and the hype he has across the country.

BlackDynamite Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'll reserve judgement until I see how he handles this load of garbage in the off-season. He needs to burn the village, bury it with a shovel, and then bury the shovel! Next summer I don't want to see the following: T-Rex (Tanny and Rex), Sparano, Sanchez, Scott, Pace, Bryan Thomas, Y.Bell, Shonn Greene, and bunch of the other bums.(I tried to list them all, but the batteries on my cordless keyboard died in the process) He has a lot of work to do......

Boblivius Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Prior to this season, Woody's record as an owner was a winning one with six playoff appearances. How many other franchises can match that record? Mistakes were made, but that's the nature of the beast. He'll make the correction as needed. He is more astute than some of you think.

Bugg Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Tim Tebow Exactly. Advertising Budget + Drop in Ticket Sales > PSL revenue. And by a lot. Great work. Keep in mind; even during the Kotite Error every ticket was sold and there was a waiting list. And there was no ad budget at all. This article nonetheless may be true; lucksy sperm club member Woody Johnson doesn't really care or know how bad he's screwed up his bottom line with blind greed.This fool didn't bother to investigate the price point at all, simply assumed he could jack the price through the roof and still rake cash in despite an inferior product . The enitre gameday experience causes sensible people to choose their couch or the local bar. And if he really doesn't care about PSLs(which he already cut once) waive them now.Because I may only be 1 guy with 2 seats, but right now I will not pay the 2013 PSL payment. I'll give up the tickets. Besides the Jets have hosted all of 4 playoff games in the roughly 25 years I've been going. It's not like I have to worry about losing out on the AFC Championship game any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
