What seperates all those situations form the Jets is the jets have forever had defensive-oriented coaches. And that's why the don't even bother to draft a QB. It's almost been an afterthought. Pennington and Clemens were practically second thoughts rather than plans. The best QB here since Namath was Testaverde, and that really was luck rather than a plan.

Simply since the day Joe Willie went to LA this franchise has been so defense first that the most important position on the field has rarely been a priority. When they've managed to have some success it's mostly been a happy accident.And with Wrecks Ryan as de facto Gm that is not changing anytime soon.

Clemens wasn't an afterthought. In 2006, the Jets did exactly what everybody is saying they should do - other than quality talent evaluation. They had a HUGE question mark at QB coming out of 2005, so they added a vet presence in Patrick Ramsey and actually moved up to draft Clemens who they apparently hoped would be the QB of the future. They even had an OC that was supposed to be a QB developer in Schottenheimer who had worked with Brees and Rivers. I think they handled it right in terms of what they did, obviously not WHO they did it with.

They drafted Pennington when they had Testaverde who was a year removed from a historically great season and only took him because he was allegedly far and away BAP to groom. That's ancient history though. So is Clemens at this point because failure to pick a solid QB has cost Tannenbaum his job.

You're a moron. Finding a good QB is hard because all functions of your team have to be working in concert to make it happen. You have to 1. Identify the player (scouting) 2. Put a proper round valuation on the player (GM) 3. Surround the player with teammates who compensate for your new QBs limitations. (GM) 4. Develop the player. (Coaching). Bill Walsh used to compare drafting a quarterback to adopting a baby--bringing it into your house is only the start of a long process. Unfortunately, our football team adopts babies and hopes they learn how to feed and change themselves. Then, after they starve to death, the Jets blame the baby.

Yeah, poor baby Sanchez was only given a top tier running game and top tier OL to open his career. He was soooo wronged by the Jets. He was just a baby boy!!!!

I mean Dustin Keller, Santonio Holmes, and Braylon Edwards to throw to as a young QB? Wtf are they thinking? The Packers give Aaron Rodgers legends like Jordy Nelson to throw to, and the Jets can only muster up three former first round pass catchers to assist him, one a SB MVP and only one of which cost the Jets a first?

SYMPTOMS, ILLNESS, ETC!
