I don't mean to be overly negative, but when you think about it this roster is pretty awful.

The QBs, TEs and Ss are not even barely adequate for an NFL team.  Like zero win bad.

When I look at the cornerbacks I get scared, when I look at the safeties I want to vomit.

The Jets have a safety that's better than Pryor on the roster and a safety I think is better than Gilchrist also on the roster . We're fine.  The Draft is in 3 weeks and the team is far from complete yet . 

This team and this coaching staff is going to upset many a jet fan holding out for a Darnold tank.

When the QB position is this bad, wins will be hard to come by. Adding in the other atrocious positions this is not even NFL caliber. The draft may offer some help and maybe even an UDFA or two. They will still be rookies and I read somewhere that each rookie that starts can cost a win.

This does not look good no matter how it is sliced

You think they are fine at safety now? My point about the draft is, they need to draft a starting safety in April.

No way are the Jets in the Darnold sweepstakes. They won't be picking in the top 10 next year.

[shuler82]

This roster is so poor that  the team doesn't have the luxury of wasting the #6 pick on a mediocre QB prospect.

If any QB presently on the roster play as badly as Fitz did last yr, this roster will still win about  5 games .

While I wouldn't go as far as definitely saying they aren't top 10 next year, I certainly agree those who are convinced Jets are destined for #1 are simply believing what they want to be, whether that's for good reasons or bad.  The Jets are far from being a "good" team, but I'm not sure what in particular is set to make them any worse than last year when they won 5 games.  While there are plenty of near-guaranteed losses for the Jets, are we really supposed to believe they are in serious trouble against the likes of Browns, Bills, Jags, and Chargers, just to name a few?  I wouldn't be overly shocked by losses to any of those teams mind you, but they are hardly in any position to be counting on wins against the Jets either.

[InstantClassic]

Fun team to rebuild with in Franchise mode. Can't wait for Madden 18!

[Stonehands]

Jordan Jenkins is from Georgia.

[isired]

I don't think a fan of any team can say with any confidence on March 27 that they will be drafting first, or even top 3. Especially a team playing a 4th place schedule. That said, I put that roster up against anyone for league's worst.

Of course it should be.  Their goal should be to win SB 53 or 54.  They're not winning 52.

Agreed, but not with this roster.  The Jets have to start somewhere, and IMO, we have a nice roster to start . We have a star at DE. We have a young player with potential at Linebacker and we could use a play maker in the secondary .  I wonder, with this current roster and the depth in this draft, what side of the ball could the Jets improve more quickly .

The jets need to build a team, and that means sticking to a coach, a GM and a plan .  

[Pcola]

Well I know there is a ton of Fitz hate here but he combined with Brandon Marshall are better than anything we have right now.  That includes any QB or WR we can get in this draft.  

Lets add that we have to use a draft pick in the first three rounds on a TE, just so we can have one on the team.

If our OL has any injuries, it will be a struggle.  Forte's a year older and wasn't elite last year, Decker is still recovering from surgery, and Enunwa is not a #1 WR.  He got his catches in chunks last year and when teams rolled their coverage towards him, he disappeared.

Unless Petty turns into Aaron Rodgers, this offense is going to be the league's worst.

And no draft pick we could get, Myles Garrett included, would improve our defense enough to make up for the offense shortcomings.

So everyone discounting the Jets getting the top pick next year should realize that it's the only chance to turn this franchise around.

And based on the 2016 records, in order for the Jets to pick outside of the top ten picks, they would have to win 8 games.  

The QBs we have on our team won 1 game last year, it was in OT against a 2 win team.

I would welcome any rational explanation on how this team could even equal last year's record. Aside from Petty going for 4000-30-6 and Enunwa and Anderson 1000 each and Mauldin getting 14 sacks.

There is just no evidence of anything working.

So you're saying that Ryan Fitzpatrick was a solid QB last year........

He was terrible.  But even a terrible Fitzpatrick is better than what we have.

When Fitz was benched, did Petty do anything to lead anyone to believe that he could not only stay healthy, but be even a below average QB?

We won 5 games with a terrible QB (either way) and a terrible defense. I find that fascinating.

I wouldn't disagree with you, but I wouldn't say that's a reason to sign/play a Fitz. We won't get to, let alone win a playoff game with that type of QB play, so let's find out where we are with Petty (though I think they know where they are with him) and Hack. Every day that we go without taking a step towards finding/getting our franchise QB is a day wasted.

We'll have you seen the Jets opponents next year?  Take a look and let me know how many games (on paper right now) that we would be favored in?

None of them I would think. 

I have always held the point that the fans overreacted to the style ahead of the substance last year. The Jets were 2 ST plays away from having 7 wins, which is what I predicted they would have at the beginning of the year. Actually, believe it or not, you could spin that positive for Bowles for a bit, except that some of it was his doing.

They sucked last year, but not as much as people think they did, hence the style over the substance. And if you argue that that doesnt matter, then you must argue that Fitzpatrick and Petty both sucked and there is no differentiation

With this roster to me the most impactful player that the Jets can draft is Fournette. If you cannot get a QB, get his best weapon

I tend to disagree but what else is new .  I  would prefer to add a weapon to the secondary and 1 to the line backing core and build the defense into a strength in a year when the draft is packed with edge rushers and secondary prospects .

I agree with you.  McCown should have only been signed to be third string and to recent our punter from having to take snaps.

I would absolutely love Petty or Hack to take the job and do anything to show they can eventually be the guy.

But Petty, IMO, had two opportunities to show us.  I thought he won the back up job in preseason before the late hit in the Giants game.  Then, he was given the job in Nov/Dec and got hurt again.

And what this FO has done with Hack is just puzzling.  What good did it do having Fitz play the Buffal game?  How did him playing while Hack did nothing in a meaningless blowout going to do anything for the 2017 Jets team?  

I can only assume, until I'm given any evidence to the contrary, that Hack is done.

I agree in Petty. If they draft a QB day 1 or 2, I expect him to be cut.

As for Hack, until I see different, I'll write that off to him not being ready, and the Jets handling him with care.

While you say they were close to 7 wins, one could argue they were closer to 3.  OT against SF and the Buffalo forfeit week 17 are meaningless.

Last year's roster was a 3-5 win roster.  In our division, we had the worst QB, the worst running game, the worst secondary.  In fact the only units that wouldn't be the worst in the division would be our DL and WRs.  Both are negated by QB and secondary.

On top of that, We minus B Marshall, OL is still a mess, holes at TE, OLB, CB, and FS.

we might get lucky a plug a couple of holes from the draft but we only have so many picks.  our roster is no where near good enough to overcome our QB situation.

I think if the draft a QB in the first couple of rounds, it's a bigger indictment on Hack than Petty.  Petty can at least be a back up.  He can get in a game and play.  His salary is relatively minimal.  Hack on the other hand, didn't even get to wear pads until it was absolutely necessary.  All the while guys like Prescott, Lynch, and even Kessler were starting games.

Parcells theorem. You are what your record says you are. 

They could have had 7 wins or 3.

They ended up at 5 wins, with the worst QB, the worst running game and the worst secondary in the division. It's sucky but in a very small way impressive.

and right now the remaining cap space is just short of 10 million.  that leaves them with about enough to sign their draftees and maybe a coupld of vet minimums. they can still cut gilchrist and harris but to what end?  their replacements will cost more.

I tend to disagree but what else is new .  I  would prefer to add a weapon to the secondary and 1 to the line backing core and build the defense into a strength in a year when the draft is packed with edge rushers and secondary prospects .

i tend to agree but a top flight running back will make it possible to play ball control and help keep the defense off the field.  on the other hand a good defense will help the offense play on short fields.  there's a balance in here somewhere.

but the biggest issue is that for this team to succeed the way it's structured means the coaches will have their work cut out.  they will need to get this team to play good smart football for the full 60 minutes and not let up.

The Jets have 4 picks within the first 3 rounds thus far. There is only one Fournette. The O needs weapons. Teams will have to game plan for him. With the speedy WR Corps they just will not be able to stack the box.

I think if the draft a QB in the first couple of rounds, it's a bigger indictment on Hack than Petty.  Petty can at least be a back up.  He can get in a game and play.  His salary is relatively minimal.  Hack on the other hand, didn't even get to wear pads until it was absolutely necessary.  All the while guys like Prescott, Lynch, and even Kessler were starting games.

That may be so, but I'm not sure that will come as any consolation to Petty when he's looking for work or working out with the PS while Hack is on the big club. Hack's not going anywhere next year.
