Bob Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The Jets earned the "circus" label. From the Tebow publicity stunt to Rex's big mouth and off-field eccentricities and a season that was a comedy of errors, the title was well deserved. The writer is correct, though, that the team has taken steps toward sorting that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENLANTERN Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As the title says, I was just curious if the Jets are no longer a circus, did they get rid of the ring leader or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Rex is here. Sanchez is here. Santonio is here. All on one-year deals. I wouldn't take down the tent just yet. Rex gets an extension. They have to, the Jets are making the playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro55 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm not following how the jets still aren't a circus? Rex is still Rex, even if he's not as bad as he was a few years ago. Woody is still Woody. The Jets still are considered the little brother of the Giants, and hell, they still play in a stadium that the Giants were building. And now the Giants closed out the old stadium with a super bowl win a few years back and the Giants won a super bowl at the new stadium. The Jets always seem to go for the circus atmosphere over anything else. Last year Tebow. A few years ago Favre. They had Mangini and is attitude and rat behavior. They had Herm and his idiotic press conferences and coaching skills. They had One hit wonder Al Groh. They had BB for a minute. Parcells will always be Parcells and he was gone. Keyshawn and a damn book. Bad draft picks. Years ago when they had a number of winning seasons, Mark Gastineau wasn't exactly a behind the scenes guy. Hell as much as we all love Namath, he still makes headlines with attempted kisses, alcohol, conversations about the current coaches and players. It's almost like the Jets have always lived the Namath persona long after he was gone. And he was a character. Great when you are winning and young. A bit awkward when you're old and trying to kiss some female reporter on national tv. And he can get away with it cause he's Namath. The Jets seem to always have some persona that tries to be the circus. Tries to upstage the Giants. Tries to upstage the Patriots. Tries to upstage the Dolphins. The problem is they have become a joke because of things like Tebow. There was no point to that trade, they made that trade far worse by never even playing the guy, and then they just kept him around forever. They played out the Revis thing far too long and Idzik is in the shadows at this point. Now Smith. While still having Sanchez. Nobody cares when you win. And win consistently. When you have a winning season now and again, and mostly 8-8 types of seasons, that's when it becomes a media driven circus. And the Jets always seem to demand that kind of attention over and over and over. If they fired Rex, dumped Sanchez, traded away revis back in Jan, people might still be talking because they are the Jets, but you'd get a feeling a new regime is in town. But they still have Rex. They still have Sanchez. And they have the 5 headed QB beast. And a rookie QB who seems to want his own kind of attention more for his attitude or lack of maturity. The Eagles drafted Barkley, Giants drafted a QB, et and nobody has really hard a thing about any of those guys. And honestly out of everybody, Barkley probably should be the guy with the biggest attitude. He was probably a top 5 pick last year. This year he's a 4th rounder. Smith might wind up being a great QB, who knows. The problem now is he's drafted by the team who has always been a circus and seems to love that over winning at times, and he seems to fit right into the realm of making headlines for nothing.

Breaking news here... But seriously we all know that the way the Jets have handled business for years is ridiculous, but all we can hope for is that we actually might have a GM who knows what the **** he's doing. That being said the only reason you hear things about Geno instead of Barkley is because Geno had the unfortunate luck of being drafted by this franchise. If he ended up[ with the Eagles no one would hear a word about him. The media continues to foster the "Circus" reputation about the Jets , and they will continue to do so until the organization does anything that disputes it.

Being in 2 of the last 4 AFCCG's doesn't count? They'd still call it a circus here if we won a SB. I don't see the Brows with half the TV-time as being the clown franchise they are. Last year we had a total collapse and managed 6 wins. Cleveland has topped that mark 3x since re-joining the league in '99. Losing records in 12 of the last 14 seasons. Raiders haven't had a single winning season since they choked away a SB a decade ago. In the last 5 years, Jacksonville's crowning achievements were an 8-8 record once and having a public dispute with MJD. The Chiefs are getting sucked off despite accomplishing nothing with Reid yet. They've topped the awesome 4-win mark twice in the last 6 years and hired Herm Edwards AFTER they saw him coach the Jets and actually gave UP a draft pick for the opportunity. Our team motto should be: "We suck but so do some other teams!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our team motto should be: "We suck but so do some other teams!" The Jets should also feel lucky. If the Jets moved to Columbus, Ohio, after a few years, nobody would care. Also an earlier poster said something about Geno. Geno was spoken about poorly before the Jets drafted him. He pouted, looked immature in the first round when nobody picked him. Would he get the same story if the Eagles picked him? Probably considering people still talk about McNabb being booed by eagles fans almost 15 years later. And he had a decent career. People spoke bad about him for a long time. His own WR said the guy choked and puked up in the super bowl. So even after the guy had some success, and something like 5 NFC championship game appearances, I'd say you don't have to be a Jet to be front and center as a QB. For whatever reason, Smith is that QB this year. Whether he were picked by the Bills, Jets, Eagles, or Jaguars, he'd be talked about. True the Jets would be made fun of more than those other teams, but Geno is the guy and if he succeeds or fails, tons of people will talk about him.

Difference in the criticism that McNabb dealt with right away is Geno is getting it primarily from the media, not from the team's fans. So anyone can write off the loudest fans as being worthy of ignoring, but when you're seeing all these sourced stories from the media it gives more credence to the "he's going to suck" sentiments than some filthy Iggles fans. The national media didn't make fun of Philadelphia for drafting McNabb. Quite the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
