varjet Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 The Jets need a personnel epiphany. The team needs to start producing players who can play football. The Jets are also promoting internally, which is good, but I also wonder who from outside is working here until the team stabilizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Jets go 8 and 8. Macc gets an extension. Heimerdinger gets a GM job and wins a bazillion out of the next bazillion and three Super Bowls. You heard it here first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it produces a couple of starters and a quality back up or two, I'll take it. We'll also get a good idea as to how last year's class is coming along as Lee, Shell, Burris, Anderson, Peake, should get extended action and they all played well at times as rookies. Lawrence Thomas also made a few big plays in his debut before missing the rest of the season on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 When I look at the Packers, Seahawks, Steelers and Ravens, I see teams that have an ability to stock a roster with talented football players. In year 3 of Macc and Heimer, I am not seeing that. This is an Old Boys network. Let's see the Jets accumulate a solid roster before promoting Heimer.
