JetNation Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 By Glenn Naughton It’s official, folks. Fans of the 2017 New York Jets will have more reason to watch football on Saturdays than they will on Sundays. Before today, nobody in their right mind could make the argument that the 2017 Jets were going to win anything, or that they were a threat to make the post season. In all reality, nobody could really say the team might be “decent”, without being laughed at. One claim that could be made, and legitimately, was that the front office was going to make an effort to field a competitive team. If the QB play was solid, and the veteran leaders took the youngsters on the roster under their wings, perhaps the Jets would steal a win here or there while the kids developed. Today, even that theory came to an abrupt halt. Just a few hours apart, Jets fans learned that the team was going to be parting ways with linebacker David Harris and wide receiver Eric Decker. One, the team’s most experienced defensive player, and the other, the most accomplished wide receiver on the roster. These moves are a clear indicator that with multiple highly regarded quarterbacks coming available in next season’s draft, the team is making every effort to put themselves in position to choose their quarterback of the future. Sorry, Christian Hackenberg. Gang Green’s longest tenured defender, David Harris, has been sent packing. With the (eventual) departures of Decker and Harris, it’s fair to say that the Jets won’t have more than a handful of players who have shown they can play at a high level in the NFL. Sure, there’s Sheldon Richardson, Muhammad Wilkerson, James Carpenter, Brian Winters, Bilal Powell, Quincy Enunwa and when healthy, Morris Claiborne. But beyond that, it’s a few vets hanging on, and countless young players with plenty of potential, but who have proven very little. It’ll be an ugly 2017 season Jets fans, but now more than ever, it’s over before it even began, and now it’s about waiting to see which signal caller Mike Maccagnan snags with a top-three pick in the 2018 draft.

Yep Macc's banking his career on the fact that some of his young selections will develop if given a chance to play, and he'll catch lighting in a bottle in next year's draft. Good for him, he's betting on himself. Bad news is Fitz bet on himself last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thadude Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Nothing to see here.No Tank. The GM and HC actually think they are setting up for a playoff run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freemanm Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 You can now buy two seat season tickets for less than $600. I would actually wait though, because it's probably going to be half that amount in a month from now https://www.stubhub.com/new-york-jets-tickets-new-york-jets-east-rutherford-metlife-stadium-9-9-2017/event/9818949/?mbox=1&rS=6&abbyo=true&sliderpos=false&qtyq=false&qtyddab=true&sort=price+asc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony MaC Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 What you meant to say is: THE REBUILD IS ON! This team isn't tanking for sh*t, nor should they. Tanking is a myth, nobody goes in the season to lose for the sake of drafting one player. I guarantee you the guys in the locker room certainly don't give a sh*t about players not on their team. They're gonna do their damnedest to earn their keep and step up to the plate and win as many games as possible together. And we SHOULD want them to overachieve because that means great things for our future. Instead we've got a fanbase illogically pinning their hopes on a one year collegiate starter who may or may not be worth it. I mean if it happens it happens, but I'm not rooting for that. Of course I want to see the team make the playoffs, but if given the choice I'd rather a so-so completive 7-9 than a hopeless 0-16 to 2-14 season. Why? Because other than the RB's and maybe a couple members of the O-line this team is made up of starters who could be potential pieces of our teams future some years from now. I don't want Adams, Maye, Jenkins, Lee, Leo, Stewart, Hansen, Enunwa, Leggett, Hackenberg, Petty, W.Johnson, Shell, Burris, etc, etc to fail. I want them to find a groove, and I want them to thrive. Now I'm not naïve, I know this isn't a playoff caliber team right now. But that doesn't mean the only desirable alternative is a number one overall pick. Getting THERE, means the names above failed MISERABLY and that's NOT a good thing anyway you slice it. And even if we got Sam I don't expect a 21 year old Darnold to come in and save all that by himself. We'll get first round talents no matter where we land in the order and its foolish to assume we KNOW what's going to happen in April this far out. Don't stress yourselves about the draft, look at what's right in front of you. Lets hope the gentleman on our team RIGHT NOW surprise the hell out of the NFL and find a winning formula. THATS what's best for the teams future, and I think Mac would see it as his ideal scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 2 hours ago, Lupz27 said: Maybe this is for McDaniels, and Garrapollo? That seems unlikely. If Tom and Bill stay with the Pats, I can't imagine Josh wanting to be in the same division. Also I was predicting that the two best options for the Pats would be either move Jimmy this offseason or move Tom NEXT off season. It sucks to think that Tom's time in NE may be ending, but some statements made by the Pats this offseason and some of the rumors that they were unwilling to part with Jimmy for anything less than a first rounder+ suggests they want him long term. That makes it more likely that Tom is out sooner rather than later. And if THAT happens, I'm sure Bob will give Tom some control over where he is traded, or will release him outright.
