ebonix Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 ..../... www.bleacherreport.com Who: Center, New York Jets (1-8) By the Numbers: No. 1 in PFF Overall, No. 1 in PFF Pass Block, No. 1 in PFF Run Block Story So Far: Nick Mangold has been one of the NFL's best centers for years. In his nine-year career, he's been a Pro Bowler five times and named a First Team All-Pro twice. This just might be his best year yet, even as the Jets offense collapses around him. He's dominating the Pro Football Focus grades and opening great running lanes (even if only one of the Jets' running backs is reading them). The apparent quality of interior linemen is often affected by the play of their linemates. Considering that every other Jets offensive lineman is deep into the negative end of PFF's grades, Mangold's quality is undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourceworx Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd rather have the best QB than the best center in the league. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd rather have the best QB than the best center in the league. But that's just me. I would too. At this point, I'd settle for the 10th best. And I still think Mawae was a better center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd rather have the best QB than the best center in the league. But that's just me. That's all well and good. Problem is, we don't HAVE the best QB in the league, and we DO have the best Center in the league. So rather than lament what we don't have, perhaps we should build around what we do have. Me, I'd rather have the best QB in the league playing behind the best Center in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Yes, then he got hurt, and now he's the most expensive average CB in the NFL. The Patriots with Revis just shut down the Denver Broncos. The most exciting offense in all of football. Revis had 5 tackles and 2 passes defended. He has 2 INTs and 7 PDs on the year. Despite not being thrown on very much. Jets fans like to tell themselves Revis is terrible and they did the right thing trading him. That's a lie. Revis is far above average. He's a difference maker, and like Mangold, a probable hall of famer. ps- the Jets could have resigned Revis this year but they chose cap space instead. Cap space.

I don't care if he's the best CB of all time. Just give it a rest already; you've been whining about it for 10 months. He was NEVER going to come here. And he was never going to save us from a 3-13 type season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always talk about money. Cap space doesn't win games. the Patriots are on the road to a Super Bowl. And Revis is a big part of that. As for his effect on the Jets, the biggest problem with this team is a lack of corners. It's safe to say Revis makes that problem much better.

Put your money on the Broncos If you go to vegas right now, the Pats have the lowest (best) odds to win the SB. It's still only like 15% but that win against the Broncos was huge last week.
