TuscanyTile2 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I know it's very early for this but with the draft and the main part of free agency over, we have a good idea of what this team has to work with roster-wise. So I figured it was a good time to ask how people view this team record-wise going into 2018. I'm assuming Darnold won't be the day 1 starter (and might not play much at all this year) but I do think we'll see a Darnold impact on this season because there will be a lot more optimism about the future of this team. Also I think we'll see a jump in the quality of play from some of our young players (like Adams, Maye and Leo). Possibly Bridgewater will be a revelation as well (which alone would probably be worth a few wins). And, as usual, the Patriots are the only team in our division that I think we have to fear (the Bills are young team on the rise like us and I still don't think the Dolphins have a FQB).

T0mShane Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I was just noticing that absolutely everyone thinks the Jets are either the worst or second-worst team in the league and I have to disagree. The secondary should be pretty good. The DL should be pretty good. The LB unit is ok. The defense should be able to turn most games into a mosh pit, enough to keep the team in it until the end. On offense, they’ll run the ball and take their shots deep to Anderson and Pryor, so they’ll steal some points. Add to all this that Buffalo and Miami are taking a step back and the Jets should be able to squeeze between 6 to 8 wins out of this season, even if Darnold starts six games. I don’t see where this is a 3, 4 win team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Haha. The three teams that took a top 3 QB are the three worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edscuba Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Of course a crap shoot but here it goes. We were in most games last year and I expect that or better this year. 9-7 no playoffs. Need to win one of last 3 weeks and we don't.

jetstream23 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Better than last year but not quite a .500 team yet because of two reasons - 1) Pass rush deficiencies 2) No offensive playmaker / difference maker that other defenses need to focus on. I went with 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFaninMI Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Right now the the Jets are a 6-7 win team. I don't see how they are going to win more as they have upgraded at some positions but OL is still suspect. Add in the fact that the RB situation is still the same or slightly improved and WR is still a question mark I just don't see more. Talk about it more as the season approaches and my outlook may improve but right now? 6-10 or 7-9 and that's optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised at this either. Every few years we have an "upside surprise" and I could see this being that kind of year. The good news (for once!) is that this time we have a potential FQB in the wings. So we don't have to endure another Fitzpatrick 10-6 followed by a Fitzpatrick reversion to the mean (as in crappy QB). This year it might be McCown or Teddy B getting us to 9-10 wins followed by next year Darnold getting his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
