Integrity28 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Listen to Broadway Joe. He's never wrong. He called Super Bowl III when others thought he was crazy. He called the demise of Rex Ryan before anyone else did. Draft Mariotta. In fact, draft any potential franchise quarterback because we're not going anywhere until we find one.

Integrity28 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This Bullsh!t about Joe being a drunk is old freakin news and has been for years ...its really not funny anymore and its beginning to get stupid. This guy was one of the only good things this freakin franchise ever had and the Idiot fans consistently make fun of the guy and he always seems to be right on the money. Please just stop already/ Even piss drunk and half in the grave Joe Namath has more credibility talking about the sport than 99% of the media and 100% of the fans.

SAR I Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You and I are pretty much aligned. However, I think the one exception is to build a tough as balls O and D line while waiting. Those guys have a long career on average and can greatly assist a young QB when and if he is found. Sure, as long as the draft picks and the FA money are not being eaten up so that when a franchise QB prospect appears we aren't unable to get him.

Bugg Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Forget the names attached, Joe Namath's thesis, and one that's shared by millions of Jets fans, is that until the franchise quarterback is found this team goes nowhere. We've had defensive coaches since forever, the last offensive guy we had in here was circa 1996, and all they can do is get us into the playoffs at which point we run into the franchise quarterback who can pick apart our franchise defense and that's the end of another dream. There is only one way to find your franchise quarterback and that's through the draft, so saying we're going to take our first or second rounder and draft "best player available" or another defensive lineman isn't a good strategy. Find the franchise quarterback first, then build around him. Building everything else as a priority and hoping you can win doesn't work. Best it can get you is to the AFC Championship Game where you run into John Elway or Peyton Manning or Ben Roethlisberger who beat you singlehandedly. This isn't rocket science. But the way the Jets have been acting, the quarterback doesn't matter at all. Testaverde and Favre were old has-beens who could only be depended on 10 weeks a year, Pennington was only taken because we had 4 first round picks and he had a weak injured arm, Sanchez was only taken because we didn't have a warm body at the position and we did nothing to support him. Namath is saying its time we took the quarterback position seriously. He's 100% correct. SAR I Agreed. You have to dare to be great. And unless the plan is still to try to win 9-10 games scoring 17 points with the upside being a wildcard and 1st round exit, you need a QB. Mariota is sharper than Smith by a bunch. Physically he may be more of a runner than a passer, but he can throw, and he's very coachable. He's not a drunkard like Manziel nor a dumbass like Smith. Bowles is being polite when he calls SMith the #1. May be Mariota doesn't happen, but this CS and FO KNOWS Smith blows. Fitzpatrick is a professional stopgap if we don't get a real QB, or a backup if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm so scared and torn and I just dont know what I want but I just have this disgusting feeling that if they pass on him, he will become a HOF'er.

greenwichjetfan Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 On a somewhat related note, Joe Namath is the most popular throwback jersey in the state of New Jersey. And Iowa. SAR I I would love to see the parameters of this infographic. Kobe is a bigger Jersey sell in Wisconsin than Favre (historically) or Rodgers? Payton (as 'sweet' and beloved as he was) is more popular in terms of Jersey sales than Jordan?? Especially when you consider the fact that NBA jerseys are cheaper than NFL jerseys, this is absurd. Namath jerseys dominate a higher percentage of Iowa's population than Alabama or NY? Vincanity (Toronto edition) in CT? Having lived in CT since the age of 2, I can very accurately tell you that anywhere from mid to southern CT is all Jeter jerseys, and anything north of that is Brady or Bird. And Mantle. In Idaho? Like, what? Edit: Also, given the disparity in times and relative wealth between Johnny U's days and now, I'd be willing to wager than Peyton has more jersey sales than Johnny U...even though Johnny U is the first GOAT NFL QB. Edit 2: Also, I find it interesting that Tillman and Gleason are the highest jersey sales. I wonder how much of those revenue streams are allocated to their respective families, and then how much to the shared profits that the franchise owners get.

jetscrazey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If Mariota is there, draft him. But let him sit behind Fitzpatrick and learn for a year. He needs time to acclimate to a pro system. Let him do what Aaron Rodgers did (maybe not for 3 years, but give him time to learn and adjust before throwing him out there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
