Il Mostro Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Good thing championships are won on paper and worthless opinions. The Falcons jumped 12 spots. Are you frickin' kidding me? They will still be road kill, buried and rotting n the kudzu, by week 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 it is all about the QB. if jets announced tomorrow that vick was starter we'd go up 5 spots, not that these things matter until week 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, ESPN is sh*tting on the Jets? That absolutely thrills me. ESPN is pure crap. It has devolved into one giant troll operation.

It has devolved into one giant troll operation. we would actually go up, maybe that proves how dumb these rankings are. all based on perception rather than real analysis. they are basically grading 2013 geno, not 2014 geno.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I am outraged that ESPN doesn't think that our 2 upgrades on offense and lateral moves elsewhere are enough to bump us up in their power rankings. Especially with the great Geno Smith entering his second year. Outraged I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the great Geno Smith entering his second year. Outraged I tell you. You are failing to consider the Idzik factor. His mere presence is worth 10 spots in the power rankings. Have you ever heard those Dos equis commericals for the most interesting man in the world? There will be soon radio commercials like that for Idzik..... His players run 30% faster than they would with another GM Referees are so afraid of him they ignore most holding calls agains his team Other GM's will not draft his players out of respect He is the most amazing GM in all of sports!

bergenjets Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 ESPN, the organization that had Atlanta, Houston, Washington and Baltimore in the top 10 at the beginning of last season. I'm guilty as anybody, but why do we pay it any mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guilty as anybody, but why do we pay it any mind? Well, to be fair, I think all of those teams should have been ranked in the top third of the league going into last year. Which is why these rankings are silly but fun to get annoyed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 the fact they are 21st with the most cap space in the league is actually kind of impressive. It's pretty good for a team where no one's making more than Decker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good for a team where no one's making more than Decker. Harris and Mangold have been the top two highest paid and I'm fairly certain that holds for this year. Decker's contract is backloaded IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
