The Starting Quarterback History Of The New York Jets

[The Gun Of Bavaria]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_York_Jets_starting_quarterbacks

 

It's Wikipedia so of course take it for what it's worth, but looks fairly accurate.

 

As we sit here and debate the possibility of drafting yet another QB next spring, this list reminds us that it really doesn't matter, The Jets are a disaster at QB.

Brooks Bollinger never really had a fair shot.

[New York Mick]

******* hell

[New York Mick]

That like looking back at all the girls who've ****ed and pretty much all of them have been average or 300lbs with one leg.

Pretty much Joe, Kenny, Vinny and gaggle of mistakes after and in between.

That list says it all.  You have a stable, professional QB situation and  you have a chance to win the championship.

 

You have what we have (and have had) and you need a lot of things to fall into place all the time to hoist the trophy.

 

Remember, the Ravens won the Super Bowl and went 5 straight games without scoring a TD.  They had an all-time D.

 

With the game being officiated the way it is today you need to score...

 

This list hurts.

Never is their more proof of what the Jets need to do this year than this list. They have a multitude of picks, their are some great QB's coming out, their are 2 in particular that would get the fan based juiced.

 

Really, just think how you will feel if the JETS pass this year and we head into next year with possibly:

 

Geno Smith, Matt Simms, and say Josh McCown (who clearly would be the choice)

 

Meanwhile Houston, Jacksonville, TB etc. are introducing to their fan base, having commercials printing Jerseys, with the names:

 

Bridgewater, Manziel, Carr, McCarron etc. written on them, and back here in NY we are basically looking at 4 more years of a QB failure until they finally decide like Sanchez that Geno is a bust.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[CotcheryifyouCan]

ouch.

[Larz]

please tell us about giants stadium and kotite

[Jetscode1]

But Terry Bradway really, really, really liked Russell Wilson.

[SayNoToDMC]

List gets me so hard

[dbatesman]

Why would anyone do this

[sirlancemehlot]

Why would anyone do this

Same reason we find a carton of spoiled milk and have to sniff it. It's just what we do.

Nobody does that.

The same could be done with almost any nfl franchise...

[joewillie78]

The same could be done with almost any nfl franchise...

Hmmm, maybe but look at some franchises:

 

Baltimore/Indianapolis: Unitas, Jones, Manning Luck

San Franciso: Brody, Montana, Young, Kaepernick

Green Bay: Starr, Favre, Rodgers

NE: Grogan, Eason, Bledsoe, Brady

Denver: Elway. Manning

 

 

I could go on but take a look at most successful franchises, and the one thing that almost all have had is continuation of excellence at the most impirtant position in sports. Yes, take a look at mots that have wallowed in mediocrity or worse (like the Jets), and you will find lists like the Jets, where besides JoeWillie, our QBS have been like most of our teams Mediocre.

 

Just more proof that the Jets need to continue to try everything they can to find that Franchies guy and it starts with the 2014 draft

[MexiRoll6]

But he couldn't convince buffoon and moron aka Rex and Tannenbaum to take him instead of Stephen Hill, who has used his 4.2 speed to run to the bank, but nowhere has he been seen on a football field. Jets also failed to take Joe Flacco in 2008 when they had a desperate NEED for a QB. Jets DON'T KNOW HOW to evaluate QB's....period. Never have. Namath fell into their laps and for three seasons he may have been the best QB in the NFL - or AFL for that matter. Then 1970 hit and things were never the same. Vinny Testaverde had ONE good season and several so-so ones. If Pennington had Vinny's arm and body we would have a SB but he was brittle and didn't last. Boomer was done by the time he came here and played for three different HC's in three seasons. Ken O'Brien was a statue in the pocket, and was NO Marino. Oh yeah, the Jets had a chance to pick him too. AND Peyton Manning but Parcells brain locked on that one. Are Jets cursed at QB? As surely as the sun rises in the East.
