I think you are grossly underestimating the improvement at OC. Bates may not have experience as an OC but I hear a lot of good things about him, particularly re: his handling of the QB position. This is an upgrade that the Jets desperately need. Morton, Gailey and Schottenheimer were three of the worst OCs ever. If the Jets get someone who can properly scheme a game and also have the flexibility to make adjustments during the game, this would be an almost miraculous improvement to what I have witnessed during the last ten seasons. It would be so refreshing to have an OC who actually understands the talent he had on the team and uses wisely.

If Bridgewater looks like he can be a franchise quarterback again, why in the world would the Jets trade him to the Bills or Miami or any other team in the AFC? Let Darnald earn the spot. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Favre for 4 years.

Happy Birthday, Joe. Fifty years later, I am still glowing from the victory at Super Bowl III you guaranteed against incredible odds. My prayer is that your confidence and ethic of winning is once again restored to the Jets.

Teddy Bridgewater was a rising star in the NFL before he got hurt. He was also a great presence in the locker room and a well-deserved fan favorite in Minnesota. If he is healthy and can play, why in the world would we want to trade him unless we were able to secure a dynamic edge rusher? Having two excellent QBs on your team is a very good thing. Ask the Eagles.

Not a good look for Patricia or the Lions. However, he was merely charged and never found guilty. None of us know what happened and are not in a position to judge. My hope for all concerned is that the accusations were untrue.

Jet fans should prepare themselves for this sickening possibility: Bill Belichick leaves New England and becomes head coach of the Giants. He drafts blue chip QB and gets the team back on the Super Bowl train. If Jet ownership wants to maintain its fan base, and Jet management wants to keep their jobs, they absolutely need to hit a grand slam home run this off season. They need to be smart and daring and find a way (make a deal with the Devil for all I care) to get us a bona fide franchise QB and offensive line to protect him. Nothing else is acceptable. The suggestion that they use their top pick for a CB, RB, WR, or even pass rusher (who never materialize) is ridiculous. We know what we need. We know what we want. 50 years ago, a man named Sonny Werblin stunned the sports world by signing Joe Namath. 4 years later, the Jets won the most important game in NFL history. Time for history to repeat itself.

They must draft a QB with the first pick and at least one OL to protect him. Period.

Under no circumstance. Absolutely not. Unacceptable. Ridiculous.

They either draft Darnald, Rosen, Mayweather, or Josh Allen (maybe need to trade up to get), or they acquire Kirk Cousins. Otherwise they will lose half their fan base. This is a critical year for the the Jets organization. If they do not make bold and brilliant moves in the off season that finally get this franchise the QB they so desperately need, they are condemned to be garbage for a long time. I am sick of seeing a team that is pathetic on offense year in and year out. We need to be able to score points. To do that you need play-makers and most of all a play-making QB who will not implode under pressure. This is NFL football 101. Drafting a CB with the first pick will create a revolution. You remember John Idzik.

Awesome!

I agree. Big game for the Jets. Wilkerson and the defense have come alive. If they can continue to perform at a high intensity level and beat the Bucs things get very interesting.

That would be a very good thing.

You are absolutely correct. Insane for Jet fans to want their team to lose. Mike Francesa got it right. The Jets are laying a foundation and building a culture that promotes winning. Josh McCown has been a big part of that. He has played very well and has been an exemplary leader on the field and in the locker room. The Jets are well positioned to insert a high quality QB (either from the draft or free agency) to be their QB of the future. The latest game against the Bills has me feeling very good about this organization for the first time in a long time.

Disgraceful situation and team should be liable for any damages to fans.

He's terrible and the Jets will most certainly lose if he starts.
