Mangold is the highest paid center in the league.Has he ever stood for anything? Has there ever been a quote from him putting his name on something? Dude hides in the bushes playing center with his fat contract and hasnt even played that well the past two seasons.

he's not a vocal leader but he has played well. The Jets OL has been top 10 in run blocking and with the incompetence at Qb i don't know what else we can expect from Mangold. He's on his way to a Mawae like borderline HOF career.

I mean he needs to be one though. Mangold is on the tips of everyones tongue nationally as the "best center in the league" Hes respected around the league...why not step up and put your name to something? It wouldnt hurt....some guys just seem to settle in their roles once they get paid.

nOn terms of fan endearment and overall perception, to me , its Mangold. Rhodes, Holmes have all been ousted for the dogs they were/are. Pennington is a good choice though too.

I like Mangold, and he's a good player, but he plays an anonymous position with questionable value.

his value was on full display when the guy that looked like Mick Foley was playing center for us last year.

Mawae would have murdered both Holmes and Sanchez, not just physically, but in the locker room and (anonymously) in the paper as well. These Jets could use a guy like that. Honestly, I'm surprised Mangold never emerged as any kind of leader/

[JetsFanInDenver]

This "no longer a fit" nonsense is where we really went wrong. Mawae had at least 3 productive season for Tennessee after we cut him. Abraham is STILL productive.

Abraham used to not play meaningful games at times with a bruised vagine.

Baxter was a drifter prior to getting signed by the Jets. Lets not get crazy.

Going from the second best center in the league to the 54th was, indeed, an issue.

I agree. Especially on offense. The defense is so isolated from the offense(Rex's fault) that none of those guys are willing to do it.

You listen to every big name on the Ravens and they all interact with one another regardless of the side of the ball in theyre on. Rice was on NFL network yesterday saying how close he was to Pagano. There's none of that on the Jets,

Granted Lewis was a unique dude...but there's nothing stopping Mangold from becoming a vocal leader...players would listen.

Accusing people of being butthurt while acting butthurt is funny.

Mawae was a disruptive force in the lockerroom and one of these anonymous sources we're supposed to hate.

Getting a 1st rounder for Abraham was a coup given the way he loafed.

locker room cancers get traded for songs or released all the time. Look who we got for a 5th.

Mangold had a down year but for the most part has been a model of consistency and an anchor of a few very good o-lines.

Disruptive force/Locker room cancer = NFLPA Represenative.

He didn't win a Super Bowl in 7 years and missed badly on his QB selection. If one of those two went the other way then he iiiiight, but that is not the case.

ya brah best center ever

[FloridaJetsFan]

The premise of this is to question Mangold as a leader in the locker room, as if any of us Stooges have any clue who the leaders in the locker room are. Do we suppose it's Scott? Is that what we want out of Mangold? Is it Holmes? Is that what this "vocal leader" sh*t is anyway? I for one don't claim to know who does what in the Jets locker room, but I see who doesn't mail it in on the field.

That 2010 draft pissed me off, a lot of hot garbage.

[Sperm Edwards]

Sperm has already written much better versions of this article.

Problem with this article is weighs the good and the bad as though all these players cost the same. There are no salary numbers attached to the players when money was a prime - if not THE prime - motivation for the players' movements from one team to another. Salary cap space is the reason we traded Abraham, is the reason we traded Leon, is the reason we got Cromartie, Braylon, etc.
