Smizzy Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Why? because we can stop talking about drafting a god damn QB and a god damn RB. Curtis Martin didn't die. he got injured. Derrick Blaylock got injured and he siged a 4yr deal in the offseason. Houston is a monster,downhillrunning who is raw and need some time and carries to develope. Reggie Bush isn't jesus is cleats,he doesn't walk on water and HE CAN'T turn this franchise around single-handedly. There are 64 Million reason why we don't need Matt Leinart or Vince Young. I don't need to name them. Will Chad Pennington ever be a NFL caliber QB. I seriously doub't it. Im sure that shoulder looked like the end of a DUST MOP and he will be limited from here on out. We don't need to draft another Lamont Jordan and them let him walk in 3 or 4 yrs because he wants out of NY because this team has dicked around with Penny the whole time. WHich will happen. The NYJ has spent their wad on the QB & Rb spots. They feel they can win with them.They will build this team around those pieces. Even if you & I don't think it's the right decision. I wish I was wrong but unless Penny gets moved somehow or Martin retires. you can forget a Qb or RB rd 1. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS CORE OF PLAYERS FOR THE NEXT 3 Yrs. Nobody is being held accountable here. Woody Johnson is in over his head as an NFL owner. Our Hc is a complete idiot. Who loses us ballgames and hurts the development of his players. You can only spit so many cliches before guys stop buying into your bullsh*t. The NyJets have stopped beliveing long ago. How woody doesn't see this is beyond me. This entire organization is in back peddle mode. Constantly trying to correct the mistakes they made. not replacing Fergy crippled this defense. Just wait to see what holes are created this offseason and how they are filled with junk FA's and 6th,7th rd draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Agree, Woody is at root of all problems. Hiring Edwards without a coordinator background was Woodys liberal attempt at reparations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 We aren't stuck with Curtis Martin. He could be let go. I'm not saying he SHOULD, but he could. It would save over 2.4M. Blaylock would cost us 920K extra to cut him so that's not happening. Pennington would be the same to have on the team as it would to cut him.

Would you not agree this team should get rid of Herm And Terry but won't. Why would the get rid of their built in job securtiy Chad Pennington? They will milk his injury untill Woddy has had enough and fires them. which will take 2 yrs unless god takes pity on us and KC takes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 i agree smizzy, RB is the least of this team's problems. jets need DL, OL, QB, WR, CB, S. once those holes are filled the jets can draft a running back of the future. until then houston/martin/blaylock can hold the fort.

The Troll Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 RB is a huge problem here. Curtis Martin is DONE. He will be 33-years old next year, right? Time to grab a replacement, and by replacement, I do not mean a guy that has never started and got to run behind the KC offensive line when he occassionally did play. Cedric Houston showed he can be a capable backup, but he's no franchise back. D'Brickashaw is my 1st choice, but I wouldn't shed a tear if DeAngelo Williams was in green and white next year. As for a defensive tackle, sign Grady Jackson or some other mammoth 330 pound widebody that can suck up two blockers. NO MORE D-LINE IN THE FIRST ROUND! 2 of the 4 we currently have on our roster are absolute wastes of first round picks. Ellis is an enigma whenever he's not playing for a new contract, and Abe has been the only one worth his draft position. And, of course, he will be the first one of the "fearsome foursome" to leave.

Im not 100% sold curtis can't contribute next yr and Im not saying we don't need to get a RB for the future but this team has invested way to much money into the Rb spot to add a top 4 pick to the list. Im just sick & tired of people acting like we are 1 RB or QB away from the super bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Sadly, I agree. Look at NFL history. Other than John Riggins-a big physical back (unlike cutback Martin)who had breaks in his career from strikes and holdouts- nobody this age has been a good feature back.Not Harris, Payton, Smith. 33 is golden age for RBs. Even his contemporaries-Marshall Faulk, Holmes, Bettis, George-all done. There's nothing to say Martin can outperform any of those guys at this age. In fact,w ith all the speed and movement he lost, he's more likely to be much worse than any of'em. If he ran over people and speed and moves didn't matter it might be different. But that's never been Martin's MO. It's lunacy to bring him back. Take the cap hit and be done. This team isn't winning anything. Either cut him or his salary severly. I'd rather piece a beggar's feast of Blaylock and Houston and what ever in the draft than watch this waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 The player I have wanted all along is D'Brick. I don't know if he is there at four, but that is the way to go if he is. Franchise left tackle with great balance, speed and agility, and can move well in small spaces. To me he is the best LT prospect to come along in a decade. The O starts and ends with the line, and this could have us set at LT for the next decade and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I continue to love the "Curtis Martin is done" statements yet last year he led the league in rushing. The guy was hurt for 90% of the year this year. Give him an offensive line that doesn't include Scott Gragg, Jonathan Goodwin and Pete Kendall out of position and him healthy, he'll rush for 1200 / 1300 yards next season at 33.

fatcatxl Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 curtis' had a long run of about 9-15 every game. What was his long for the season? 30 something right? No way he gets 1200-1300 unless he gets at least that many carries. When you need all ur speed and quickness to get 3-6 yards on everyplay, then you lose it and try to come back from injury... ugh. Its also 945 in the morning and i havent had coffee. Maybe I'm just negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does that, it would be unprecedented in NFL history.What you are saying is that he's better than Franco Harris, Walter Payton, John Riggins and Emmitt Smith at the same age. And given the speed he's lost, I'd say you are delusional. RBs do go like that.Older running backs get hurt more often and it's harder for them to bounce back. This year wasn't a surprise-it's the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
