    A weird draft narrative I am seeing

    This is possibly the 4th time someone has started or posited this same inane thread/concept.

    NFL front offices do not get duped by other front offices into taking a player they do not want because they think someone else smarter than them wants that player.

    I'm going to goggle "how to induce a coma until next thursday night".  

    I have access to Ketamine...

    The Jets Aren't Going to be Good This Year

    Yeah, sorry to break it to you. 

    Rookie head coach, rookie coordinators installing new systems on both sides of the ball with a rookie QB. There are just too many moving pieces here for everything to fall into place in the perfect way in their first year together. Hopefully Joe Douglas is the guy, Saleh turns out to be his watershed hire and Mike LaFluer is the first offensive coordinator the Jets ever had that isn't universally hated by the fanbase, and Zach Wilson (presumably) isn't just a franchise QB but a star - but it's just not going to come together that quickly. 

    These expectations of 7 or more wins, top half offensive rankings... these are pipe dreams. 

    Also looking to upgrade everywhere on offense in this draft while ignoring the defense is not going to happen - and it shouldn't. You already have the rookie QB, very possibly one rookie OL, and if some fans here had their way a rookie RB, WR, TE, and a second OL, too. All in the name of supporting the rookie QB - but that's not support, that's instability! The rookie offensive coordinator already has way more than enough on his hands trying to establish a new offense while simultaneously getting a rookie QB prepared to start the season. Those are two huge jobs that, preferably, would've been done in separate years. I'm sure that was part of the idea of rolling it back with Sam, if that's what it came to. 

    Jets fans have become irrationally biased against the defense. It's still a team sport. I get all the defensive first round picks, the DTs and the safeties, I was there! But when Joe Douglas takes a QB at #2 this year, his first two first rounder's will've been offensive players, and the Jets will have gone offense in the first round three out of the last four years. This isn't year 49 of the rebuild, it's year two of JD's build and year one of the Saleh era. They're switching to an aggressive 4-3 zone defense that needs players, too. While Lafluer and the rookie QB are getting the offensive foundation built, wouldn't it be nice to see a nasty pass rush being developed on the other side of the ball? When's the last time we had that. Doesn't anyone realize that a defense that can stop the other team and get off the field helps the QB? Do you really want ZW throwing 40-50 times a game playing catch-up all day? If they take an Edge at #23, try just looking over the ledge instead of actually jumping. 

    I think the best we can hope for is a team that is clearly showing signs of getting better as the year goes on, but that zone blocking OL and zone coverage secondary are gonna take some time to gel. But then at the end of the year, maybe we can have some of the usual grumbling about "meaningless wins destroying our draft position," even though in a new administration's first year, those late season wins would not be meaningless at all. They would be program building. 

    I'm optimistic about the future, looking forward to seeing some signs of life, but the growing pains -I suspect- are going to be visibly ugly for much of the year.   

    So many words for something that can be answered by, "no sh*t".

     

    All I want to see is competence and professionalism after the sh*tshow we've been subjected to the past few years.

    I liked Redtails. Good name for entirely legit historical and cool reasons, plus you get points from the woke crowd you got in trouble with to start. I thought that was a good one a year ago before they chose the dumbest possible option "Football Team"

    Thats why its going to be the consensus choice....

     

    I think its a good name. Lots of cool branding ideas. 

    Why are draft “experts” so sensitive about criticism towards Fields?

    It’s one thing to disagree on a player but these draft guys seem to take it as a personal attack on them when somebody doesn’t have Fields that high.

    Then you have the Orlovsky thing where people are making it seem like the rumor about Fields work ethic is the worst crime against humanity.

    There have been rumors about top Qb’s and players forever. Marino slipped because of drug rumors. This isn’t a new thing. Sometimes there true sometimes a gm is just trying to get a player to slip to him.

    Why do these draft guys take it so personally? Is their ego in evaluating players so big that they can’t handle somebody disagreeing with them?

    Is it something else?
