Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Marshall must have put in the good word for the Jets Clowns on NFL network seem to love the move, see it as an upgrade over Ivory; great blocking, pass catching, etc...

Imagine a D trying to stop the run, cover the short passes to Forte, mid-range to Marshall/Decker/Enunwa/Amaro, and deep ball to all the WRs including Devin. Each one of those pieces feeding off each other. It'd sure be nice to have a QB who could toss it deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have two backs solid catching the ball out of the backfield. Draft a big young strong bruiser back to finish teams off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Very happy to have Forte and what this tells me is this team is going to make every effort to WIN NOW you don't sign a 30 year old RB if you didn't think you could WIN NOW. That being said I bet the Jets and Fitz are much closer than we think and are up to something IMHO Fitz is no dummy and he knows the best place for him is the NY Jets. He fits the offense and moving to another team and dealing with yet another possible learning curve should not be in the cards for him. I bet he signs for 10-12 mil per as soon as the Jets restructure half the OL and some other players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detectivekimble Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 7 hours ago, Integrity28 said: "Getting younger" doesn't mean avoiding veterans at all costs. It means bolstering the roster with young players that stick... or, in other words, not drafting 90% busts. Then you can pepper in veterans, because let's face it, veterans know how to do their jobs. Not that it's a bad signing, because he is a good player, but the Jets do get slower in the backfield. Forte's long run last season was only 27 yards.

How good is he in his other prospect predictions? he famously went after Cam Newton. until this last season many would say he was pretty accurate with that one, also. “Very disingenuous — has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup,” Nawrocki wrote. “Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law — does not command respect from teammates and will always struggle to win a locker room . . . . Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness — is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
