The Jets will figure out some way to not show up for their own orchestrated event and then someone on here will tell us that the #4 and #5 receivers looked pretty good, or some such.

The Crusher Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I'm having a hard time falling to sleep. Every time I close my eyes we draft a QB and he is wearing a red shirt. Like forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 This could be an issue with a coach like Rex, who the players actually like and play hard for. But no worries, Robot Bowles is the perfect man to drive the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Do we currently have the draft experts' scouting scoop on 2nd round "project" QBs expected to come out next year?

This is a thread which poses the question about whether or not this franchise is capable of screwing up such a strategy if indeed there is such a strategy. I do hope you see the difference. But by all means if you are the arbiter of which threads have merit and which do not, where should I apply in order to get your approval in the future?

I mean, it was bad. And it was the Wednesday after that game, during his regular press conference. We were asking questions, and my question that sort of set him off was, 'Do you have to talk to your team about not giving up on the season?' And he took it from there," she recalled with a laugh.

You seem to be the one playing the role of self appointed thread police. Not I. What a shocker. I do not/did not admit that the Jets would not tank. I think that is the plan. I hope it is the plan. My question was whether or not they will be able to pull it off.

Tony MaC Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I love this team, I would never leave this team and I'm as attached to this team as I am to members of my own family. But this team's fanbase is full of some of the most miserable shmucks on the face of the earth. Are we really going to stress over whether or not the Jets fail to SUCK? Wouldn't having a team of young starters who find a bit of success to build on despite being one of the worst rosters on paper be a GOOD thing? Why are we SO stuck on the idea that the only way this team will improve is if they're awful and receive the number one overall pick? Do not fear success, any positive development for the team is just one step towards building a winner again. I'm not naïve, we'll probably suck this year and finish with a poor record but I REALLY don't see what the harm in overachieving would be for this team as its built now. Wanna know what my nightmare is? A season where not only do not the QB's show anything of worth but none of the Receivers or Tight Ends step up, our O-line is swiss cheese, the D-Line & Linebackers don't make a difference, and our new Safety's fall on their face against both the run and pass and we enter the draft at number one with 10 major holes we have to fill. A 6-7 win season where maybe half of that happens at best is hardly the worst thing we could face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 6-7 win season where maybe half of that happens at best is hardly the worst thing we could face. The reason there is a TOTAL lack of faith in our owner and his organizational leadership. For me, I think Woody is a total roadblock to success. Organizations tend to operate as an extension of their leadership and the sad fact is we just don't have any. Woody is our James Dolan. That total lack of faith in this team to make the right decisions and take the necessary steps to improve itself in the right way is why I feel they will need to find a way to win in spite of themselves. The best way we can hope for any real success is to try to leap on the shoulders of an elite QB and hope that he can be the hero for the fans (ideally for for the next 12 years or more) and help the team overcome the ineptitude of our owner and the dysfunction caused by his inability to run a company. The least likely way is to expect that our 70+ year old owner finally turns the corner and becomes an intelligent, strategic asset to this team instead of an incompetent trust fund baby who bought a seat at the NFL big boy table with his mommy's money but will never get to be one of the big boy owners.

thadude Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The problem with tanking especially in football is there is 53 players on the roster fighting for their livelihood and careers and could care less about draft position That's why I always thought Suck for Sam was not going to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
