Go Jets77 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Damn I thought I was an azzhole when it comes to Eugene. GO Go GO Speed Racer Goooooo Bottom line is this. Vick will take over early in the season. I say we go 1-2 in first 3 games with Eugene showing zippo. In game 4 he flounders horrifically and Rex pulls the plug. Enter Vick the Quick. Exit Eugene the Suck Bag. Rex wants, needs, is desperate to win. There will be a very very short leash on Eugene. We have the best 'back up' qb in football (who's really the starter) and the worst starter in football (who's really the worst back up). So spin it as you may....this is a positive in my eyes. I've been asked to keep it positive and I'm not here to start any bs. So I'll say this and keep it positive liked I was asked. Vick is and has been a bad QB. Thats not an opinion. Its a fact. The guy has awful accuracy, some of the worst pocket awareness I've ever seen, injury prone and TO prone. He's a terrible QB. He's not leading anyone anywhere. I'd much rather go with Geno and see what we have. This team is a few years away from contending anyway so why not give him a full 16 with upgraded weapons and see what he has to offer.

shawn306 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ok here are my postiives 1) One of the best defensive front 7's in the NFL. They are going to have to be beasts this year to help out the secondary until guys like McDougle and Pryor get their feet on the ground. 2) Better weapons for Geno or Vick. No longer having to deal with Clyde Gates, Greg Salas' Holmes They should be alot better with Decker and Kerley, along with Amaro and Cumberland at TE. Chris Johnson will be a nice addition to Ivory and Powell. Some of my hopes 1) Geno takes the job: As long as he is not a turnover machine like he was at times last year Geno should be the guy. 2) The secondary grows up FAST: They are going to need to too in the pass happy CFL. Milliner needs to be the Milliner we saw the last couple of games last year, McDougle picks things up fast and Pryor kills people. The record may not show it this year but the Jets will be better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 1. We have the good guy (Geno) vs. bad guy (Vick) narrative going on at the most important position on the field. Yeah, Geno isn't a saint, but he's FAR easier to root for. I'm hopeful Geno will shut up his detractors. Our season depends on it. 2. Lots of youth everywhere to pay attention to. Maybe we'll be that precocious team that overachieves a year earlier than expected. 3. The mods are gay and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The record may not show it this year but the Jets will be better than last year. i agree with this statement completely. the team can play a lot better than last year and still not be a .500 team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 i agree with this statement completely. the team can play a lot better than last year and still not be a .500 team Perhaps. The only way I see a noticeable decrease in wins despite an improvement in most players' play is if Smith turns it over just as much as last year (don't forget, 6 of the opponents' TDs came on 5 pick-6's plus his behind the back fumble thing for a TD). -97 in the point differential isn't too good. But more than 42 of it was directly on Smith turning the ball over. The 42 points doesn't include any drives where we were already in FG range, should have scored a TD (if his pick-6 came on a play that should have been an easy TD), or picks/fumbles returned into scoring range (even though on paper the defense gets 100% of the blame even for a FG there). Along those lines, it's strange that no one has come up with a widespread way of factoring that in. Say a QB throws a pick on his own 15 yard line and it's returned to the 5. Then the defense goes onto the field and gets 2 sacks and a pass defended or any incomplete pass with the QB under heavy pressure. Then an easy FG is kicked. On paper it's purely on the D, since they surrendered a scoring drive. In practical terms, though, the defense played lights out. Happens to every team, but it happens more to a team with a turnover-prone QB. Look at New England's #8 defense in 2010. Brady+Hoyer combined for 5 TDs all season. Further, Brady didn't throw a pick after week 6 or something for the rest of the season. So does the more even (for them) run:pass ratio as they had about 2000 yards on the ground with an immobile Brady back there. It gets reflected in how many drives the defense has to be on the field for. And how quickly they have to go back out there never gets measured by anyone. Their D was still decent, but they weren't as good as their ranking. Now look at the Jets' 2011 defense in comparison. At a cursory examination of the stats, it didn't look too good, particularly compared to the prior 2 seasons. It looks like there was a MAJOR fall from 2010 to 2011; more dramatic than there actually was. But even though everyone remembers the fall from the prior 2 seasons, a lot of it was just a function of opportunity for the opposition. Sanchez had 18 picks and lost 8 fumbles . 14 of those interceptions came on 1st or 2nd down. So the defense defended more drives than they otherwise would have had to if the offense had held onto the ball longer before turning it over (or scoring). Then the rest of the team lost 8 more fumbles (including those nauseating return fumbles). 4 of the team's 16 fumbles lost were returned for TDs (2 from Sanchez, 1 each from Holmes & Keller), as well as 2 pick-6 passes from Sanchez. 42 points that superficially gets credited against the D (team points against) even though they weren't even on the field. Sanchez had another pick where Buffalo started their drive on the Jets' 20. The D gave up a TD, but 3 of it was on Sanchez since they were already well into FG range. - How did the team fare in percentage of drives where they yielded a score to the opposition? 8th in the league. (Not great, but better than you'd think for a team that finished #20 in PA). - Also average number of plays surrendered per drive? #1 in the league. Which mostly means a combination of 2 things: they're getting off the field fast because they did a solid job, or they're getting off the field faster because the opposition started in better field position to begin with. There are other factors as well, like a big play on the original set of downs (*coughVictorCruz*), but there aren't too many of those relative to the number of plays, and I don't see any indication that the Jets surrendered a disproportionate # of big plays compared to others. The 2011 Jets D was no world-beater. They weren't as good as the Jets D of either of the 2 prior years. Even though they gave up only 15 TDs in the air, they did give up a f*ckload of rushing TDs (17). But with that combination, they would have been far more highly ranked but for the inordinate # of turnovers. In other words, they were noticeably better than their #20 ranking suggests. All I'm saying is...I guess I'm agreeing with you. And even agreeing takes me this long. lol. But really I was just looking this stuff up as I was responding. The whole team can be basically pretty solid and one guy - the QB - can really turn things upside down. Special teams fumbles are even worse. Think we had at least 3 of them that season. They're typically deeper in our own territory and the D never gets the needed break (meanwhile the opposition D gets really well-rested). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
