I don't think you'll have to resort to billboards this time because there's no Cult of Bowles like there was with Rex. Bowles' bigger problem isn't just that he's struggling as a coach, it's that him and his team are boring and uninspiring. If reports are true that the stadium was filled with Seahawks(!) fans this past week, and the stadium cleared out at halftime besides, that's speaking to Woody in a language he understands.

The Idzik stuff was foul. The billboards were pathetic tbh...but still, get a coach that's run an entire operation before. And I actually like Bowles too...but this organization needs someone who's done it before. Bowles would be fine if we had a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wouldn't the guy is a defensive mind and he can't even run a successful defense filled with 1st round draft picks and a hall of fame CB, what makes you think that he has the ability to develop a young quarterback Matt?

SoFlaJets Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 What's sad and amazing is that here we are on my birthday the first week in October, and the thought that somehow this can all be fixed or the ship righted is so far out of the question that for this Jets team of the Year of Our Lord 2016 the season is essentially, already over. I don't think it's ever been THIS bad, this early, with this much hopelessness among the fans and media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's sad and amazing is the delusion that many Jets fans live under where a 4-12 John Idzik rebuild is gifted a 4th place cupcake schedule and barely ekes out a 10 win season and somehow is expected to beat 6 playoff teams in 7 weeks to open the following season lest it be deemed "hopeless".

SAR I What this lifelong Jets fan "expects" is for us to be able to watch a competitive football team for at least HALF a focking season and to not "Expect" that every Sunday night is not going to be dark and gloomy inside the hearts of every fan regardless of who the Jets are playing and what their records were the previous year.

That's not too great of an expectation. Against 6 playoff teams in the first 7 weeks? You do realize that the Jets are underdogs in all these contests, yes? And that we are a rebuilding team, yes? And besides the KC outlier, we were competitive for 4 quarters against the Bengals, we were competitive for 3 quarters against the Seahawks, and we dominated the Bills. That's not bad for a rebuilding team without a franchise quarterback and a leaky secondary. This is the price we pay for hanging on to Rex Ryan for too long and hiring John Idzik. These things don't get corrected overnight, 5 years worth of roster damage can only be fixed over the long haul. So, yes, it is too great of an expectation that we would be anything better than 1-3 right now. SAR I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz...FU Yes, Fitz is mediocre and was perceived to be the perfect fit for the Jets for 1 year. Yes, only 1 year. They didn't want to play Geno; Petty and Hack weren't ready. For those who hate Fitz (or just hate the signing), your GM is with you. Fitz is a stop gap in a pseudo rebuilding year. You know Fitz isn't the future; I know Fitz isn't the future - and yes, thankfully your GM knows it as well. He is trying to get us a franchise QB. These things take time; drafting a QB in 1st (and top) doesn't guarantee a franchise QB - and often it takes 4+years. I think we need to give him another year or two before changing GMs. I think you have to give Bowles at least one more year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are old everywhere except DLine and some LB spots and the only young promising talent is at WR. Those guys aren't getting any snaps. You don't give a veteran journeyman 12 million at QB when you are rebuilding. I spent all offseason being okay with the thought of rebuilding. But they sent a different message when they signed Fitz again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had other options, and chose to throw the money at Fitz. It was another bad signing. If we gave him 8 mill, or 10 mill that is two million that could have been utilized or rolled over.
