Obviously our fans have faced so many heartbreaks and meltdowns since we won in 69 but eventually we will win again. I predict when brady/belichick retire so maybe 5 years
I hate this theme and theory. Wait for Marino to retire. And Shula. Wait for Kelly to retire. And Levy. Hell even the Colts with Harbaugh almost made a super bowl. The Patriots with Bledsoe made a super bowl. The Patriots with Tony Eason made a super bowl. Now it's wait till BB & Brady retire. It also means nobody else finds a HOF like QB.
I'd rather the Jets find that HOF QB, build around him, and not give a crap about the rest of the division. This "hope so and so retires" is more a losing mentality that has been paramount with the Jets. Because every so many years, these other teams find great QBs and coaches and then it's "wait till these new guys retire." I'd rather the other teams start saying that about the Jets.

Jets have been trying forever to find that QB and have failed. its not like theyre sitting around and waiting for a window of opportunity to compete in the division.

Have we really?
The Jets have drafted 8 QB's in the last 20 years. Only three of those were taken in the first 2 rounds of the draft (Pennington, Clemens, Sanchez). Only one was a top 10 pick (Sanchez). The rest were taken in the 6th or 7th rounds (including Glenn Foley, Brooks Bollinger, and Erik Ainge).
Not only are we inept at drafting the right QB's, I don't think we've really been putting in the picks to try to find one. These days it would be advisable to draft a QB in the middle rounds or earlier every other year or so. Stockpile QB's and hope you at least find one of the Kirk Cousins variety, if not Russell Wilson.

And they hoped those 3 would become something... but they didnt. lots of 1st round and 2nd round QB busts. Jets are just another team when it comes to this. And lets not jump on the Russel Wilson or Kirk Cousins train just yet... Sanchez had 2 AFC championship appearances and now look at him...

At no point in Sanchez's career did he ever look anywhere close to Russell Wilson did this season, and even Cousins has shown flashes already of a much higher ceiling than Sanchez ever had.
At best, Sanchez was a game manager, an average QB. At Wilson's best, he's a top QB. At Cousins' best, he looks like an above average NFL QB, even in a small sample size.
