DMan77 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Between winning with bums, and winning with young kids on a rebuilding and a developing team. If this was Fitz, Marshall, Decker, Revis and our other 33+ year olds from last year out there stealing a win then I'd be right there with those of you fussing over a victory. I'd roll my eyes and cry whine about maybe not getting the 1st round pick... Even though it's WEEK THREE and that's a little ridiculous. But I digress.. This is what we want to see! I don't care who plays QB for this team next year, you still need an at least decent team built around him. And the Jets showed there might be a chance of that happening sooner than later. This was a great win for the future of the Jets. They might lose every other game, but they're showing little by little that they have a group of talented young guys that can seriously play... Be happy about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler82 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Dude.. we won with McCown. A 38 year old at the most important position on the field. A position where we don't have a starter in 2018 right now. All that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony MaC Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Its probably a blip on the radar, but its astounding how radical those that want the #1 overall pick are being after the slightest bit of good news. As if one good day where the team dominated in all three phases is suddenly going to cost the team it's future, especially considering many of those who contributed to the win will be involved with its rebuild.

Beerfish Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 If you want to make the playoffs a lot and be in contention more than a year here and there like the jets have in the past you need a franchise qb, end of story. This this team, with this coach will never win anything. The team is badly imbalanced talent wise and by the time we develop the offense D players will be leaving. We need a franchise qb.

And that's if everything aligns. But just like a few years ago, we can all rejoice in meaningless victories over Ten and Buf and watch TB and Ten be playoff contenders every year while we have no face of the franchise or offensive identity.

What is being lost is maybe, just maybe, Bowles isn't the bum of a HC that so many out here assume. Maybe he is growing into the job.... The team looked good today, period. I know it is convenient to suggest that Bowles is the second coming of Kotite, Bubba Gump and so on, but I saw the Jets under Kotite and the team NEVER EVER looked good or like this under Kotite against anyone regardless of the score. If we have to get a QB that is one issue; but I can not say how happy I would be if we have a competent HC who can get his team to play crisp, effective, complimentary football.

What do they do have players in the wrong position, put the wrong personnel on the field? Think McCown is the worst starting QB, based on his won loss record in the NFL and the Jets are starting him; so how do the Jets precisely tank?

At least if they started Petty or Hackenberg and they won a few games it would give you hope for the future. Winning with McCown does nothing. I enjoyed seeing the dolphin fans leaving the stadium all dejected, but tomorrow morning we're 1-2 and need to lose 13 or 14 more to get a QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offensive coordinator seems to understand how football is played in 2017. We have a young tight end that looked good today. The DLine is young and played well. Robby Anderson showed a lot today, Kearse continues to impress. The young RB McGuire is very encouraging. Then there is Adams. No words to explain how good he has looked so far. They need a QB.

We're suppose to suck but hell, Bowles is mostly playing the youngsters more and more and they are mostly stepping up. I'm hoping that Bowles along with our youngsters are all LEARNING on the job. Let come what may with the draft. Many of Mac's pick seem to be blossoming. Isn't that all we can ask for? YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME....at least at this point in the season.

DMan77 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Fast forward 2 years. Darnold is playing for us, but we have no talent anywhere around him: *Tank poster #1*:"Mac sucks! He didn't draft anyone in his time here now look at us! We have a QB but no one around him!" *Tank poster #2*: "I know right?! Same old Jets! Would have been nice for them to develop a few players in the last few years." You do NOT build a team in one year. I don't care who you are. It takes years to build a foundation to win. If you want the Jets to suck for Sam then you damn well better be willing to be Ok with losing for another 2-3 years after they draft him then. Because you're asking for Jets to not develop talent anywhere else this year. You're begging (and putting all your chips) on one draft somehow solving all the problems... That doesn't work. That's just so silly to me. Why would you not want some of these young guy to succeed and be a part of the future? Why would you not want some pieces to be in place? We need guys from these last 1-3 drafts to come on and establish themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
