SouthernJet Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think thats the best we can probably expect a chance at 10 Ws if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If I had to predict, if Mac hits on some draft picks and some previous draft picks show something: 2017 will be very bad 2018 should be .500ish if they have a QB who is developing and committed to (Hack, MT, DW,, veteran). 2019 can be competitive If 2018 is not looking at least on the upswing, it is time for Macc and Bowles to go. I would give them until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Never can tell. No one thought they would be competitive in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy2020 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Easy Schedule this year for the AFC East so it won't be too awful which will be perfect to get Bowles another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Going into 2017, we're lacking at QB, OL, WR, CB, pass rusher, and probably even the coach and GM. That's a pretty bad place to be in, and certainly not anything that gets solved in a year or two. If we are competitive in 2019 I'll be shocked. Also, this is exactly why the Jets should not draft safeties or tight ends with first round picks. Or any high picks, really. The Jets are in no position to be passing on skill positions within the first 4 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKILLit Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 idk what gm or coach would go into a full rebuild without having the full confidence of owner that they wont get fired. it wont matter until we get a franchise qb. either this year or next year, we need to hit it big or we will just be going through bandaids, like we had the past decade. i hope we really draft a QB and we will go big. lets go jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If I had to predict: Draft: We go Safety and CB heavy, draft little in the way of meaningful offense, but snag a few UDFA's everyone will fawn over in camp. 2017 will be mediocre, McCown plays >50% of QB Snaps, Petty gets the rest, Jets 6-10 or 7-9, middle round draft pick, Jets Draft 4th best QB prospect in the 18 draft. People still say "we don't know what Hack is yet!" 2018 Petty starts, bombs, Hack replaces, bombs worse. 4th best QB Draft pick from 208 draft plays last two games, mediocre but with a few good plays. Jest finish 5-11, people still argue "we don't really know what Hack is, he needs weapons and a fair shot!" 2019 camp sees Hack vs. 4th Best QB Prospect Draft Pick battle it out. Due to injury Hack wins. Hack bombs in the regular season, jets finish 4-12, Bowles, Macc fired, Hack cut. 2020 New Coach GM cut anyone over 30 years old, cut the 4th best QB Prospect Draft Pick, talk about fresh starts, sign old Vet FA QB, Jets go 10-6 and hope springs eternal.... /endcynicism.

peebag Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The Jets look to be 3-5 years from competing for a championship of anything. And that's without a competent qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 these days teams can turn on a dime. there is no reason to think they will be worse than last season and every reason to expect them to be better. it all comes down to two things; qb play and coaching. i know a lot has been made of the player talent but in reality every team has about the same talent level. it's just that some are lacking at one position or another. it's all about getting all of the players playing as a team. and if hack or petty or even mcnown have good qb season then who knows? frankly the whole notion of teams taking a long time to build is overblown. they don't have as much time as they think they want or need and there are too many external variables that can prevent even the best built team from succeeding. mr. bowles, it's up to you.

PepPep Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It depends on what you mean by 'competitive'. Like a SB contender? Or a playoff contender? Or just a tough team to play despite a losing record. With the right moves and a little bit of luck the Jets can be competing for a playoff spot in 2018. They have no chance of being a SB contender until they have a legit Franchise QB. That may not happen for another 50 years. Or Hack may develop into that QB. Or they may draft a QB who immediately shows that he can be that guy, either in this draft or in the 2018 draft. As I have said before, if you have a legit Franchise QB, you can get critical positions of need like LT, WR, CB, Edge Rusher, RB, TE, etc. in FA or via trade. To get a Franchise QB you have to hit on one in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The jets wont have a shot at the division for another 5 years so not in any relevant sense.9-7 and a road wildcard game is about all we can hope for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
