[FloridaJetsFan]

Happy holidays. This is the best Jets season in twenty years because the quarterback survived Peak Jetsness and hasn’t died. Maybe he’s that good. Maybe he’ll fall back. Maybe his gf is really hot and  of age and keeps him off the internet, which would be a nice change. However, he has crawled out of the radioactive ooze that this franchise presents to young players and seems immune to its effects. This is Reason 1a to be hopeful. I didn’t think he’d be able to avoid it because he didn’t seem aware of the morass to which he was confined, but he has. Maybe the month off helped him. Maybe no longer having the pressure on him helped. Maybe he, like Eli, is on the shallow end of the spectrum and it doesn’t impact him, so he’s able to overcome, but he’s been through it and come out the other side with all kinds of promise. His coach is awful and was technically fired six weeks ago. His OC will be returned to the woods like a rescue penguin next week. Most of his teammates on offense will rightly return to their jobs at UPS fairly soon. But, not him. He has overcome. 
 
Other readons for optimism!
2. The Pats are toast: As with the Italian mafia in 1990’s NYC, their empire has crumbled progressively, and not from the top like some Kevin Costner “Untouchables” sh*t, but from a rapid degradation of underbosses whose influence was cut out from beneath them by Giuliani. Such as it is with Gronkowski and Hansen And Edelman—Caucasian skill players who have returned to the mean athletically and no longer receive the protection of referees in this new, woke, era of egalitarian refereeing. Now, literally everyone gets flags, as Abraham Lincoln intended, and the massive advantage once enjoyed by Belichick and Mike Krysgdjdushsh at Duke is no more, and the league is better for it. The Pats are a criminal enterprise and will disappear into the muck historically, like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and Spiro Agnew. Forthcoming, we’ll enjoy headlines about Brady “choosing” to retire to spite Belichick, or maybe Belichick dumps Brady on the Raiders to amuse his sadistic little mind. Regardless, its all downhill for Brady from here because his psyche is a 1000% dependent upon pleasing his creepy dad vis a vis football trophies and, with that stripped away, will find himself empty and aimless, and haha! SUPER DEPRESSED, which will cause him to very publicly bone a mid-grade celebutante (a Kardashian?) to nuke his marriage, which he knows is a fraud. Haha! And then Belichick will go coach Rutgers to three NCAA titles but whatev.
 
3. Tannenbaum has Tannenbaumed the Dolphins. DOA QB, DOA cap, DOA coach. It’s a rebuild fo sho in MIA. Go, Baumer! 
 
4. The otherwise smart boys at the Bills just went Full Jamarcus with Josh Allen and will not recover. Allen is an awful, awful passer (as was predicted) and the things that are wrong with him cannot and will not be fixed (I.e. he’s stupid). This carved out a nice 4-year window for the Jets to not worry as much about the annual split with the Bills. 
 
5. There are enough resources to recover from Maccagnan’s MANY mistakes. Darnold can help them recover from the crippling mistake of drafting Jamal Adams. Cap space can help them recover from Leonard Williams. Avery Williamson can answer for Darron Lee, and Robbie Anderson can help them recover from Ardarius Stewart and Chad Hansen. There are pieces here, including guys like Henry Anderson and Kelvin Beachum And even a part-time Enunwa. SURE, it’d be great to pitch Maccagnan to the waves, but even if they don’t, he’s been so structurally kneecapped that the New Head Coach is going to have license to throw him over the pommel horse on any big decision anyway. Is that enough to attract a big coach? No. Maccagnan needs to be fired. But, even if he hangs on, he’s little more than an ugly hood ornament on a fresh, New Hyundai. 
 
6. The Harbaugh Rumor is Quetly a BIG DEAL. Let me explain:
—If it came from the Jets side, it shows that someone on the Jets isn’t waiting around to hire some bullsh*t consultant firm to stick them with some garbage candidate who requires an executive search firm to uncover. Going for Harbaugh is big balls YOLO sh*t that, even if unsuccessful, makes it look like you’re ready to spend some money and divest some control, which have always been two HUGE Johnson brothers knocks. 
—If it came from the Harbaugh side, whereby he’d be looking to leech some more cash from Michigan’s blueblood douchebag boosters, it’s still a great service to the Jets as it accomplishes the same goals as mentioned above. 

Merry Christmas Tom!

And I asked one of these dudes at my table how this creepy albino-ass ginger-ass f*ck with no eyebrows got this insanely hot chick to be with him at this wedding, and the dude goes, “He brought a zip of coke.” And my thirst for knowledge was slaked. Guess what happened to Orange Popsicle Face once they ran out of coke an hour into the reception? That was Rex and Pennington. Fake, temporary bullsh*t with zero chance of success. So shove your Rex and Penny takes straight up your newb ass and throw yourself in front of one of those Santa Express trains in the mall, you pokey f*ck before you get a TKO in your stocking, clownshoes.

Darnolds grandfather was Dick Hammer. Dick Fukkkin Hammer. Darnold has good genes. He has Ice in his veins. None of this old Jet crap is gonna bother this guy. He is the perfect guy for this franchise - even better than Mayfield. Darnold will be a god before this is all over.

Brady is getting hit way more this season that ever. He is not getting younger. He has a super model wife, and more money than God, and he can get a silly job trading banter with Boomer or Howie or whomever or pitching Gatorade in less 5 minutes. Really, Troy Aikman cannot put a coherent sentence together; Brady could have his job tomorrow. Don't see how this works for him long term no matter how much BS he Pats spew about him wanting to play forever. Only takes a hit or 2 to make retired life way less fun. Don't care what new age crap his quasi doctor quack is selling, Brady knows better than anyone you're one Theissmann/Alex Smith hit from a lifetime of serious daily pain. At 42 in 2019, it's not even rolling the dice, it's running through a thunderstorm in a Tim Man costume. 

And Bellichick is still pissed the decision to dump Garapolo was made without his input. When Brady goes, there is no clear QB. 

Does not prevent the Jets from Jetsing but future does begin to look bright if you get a coach who thinks the forward pass is an acceptable means of matriculating the ball down the field. Still have no confidence the Johnsons can screw this up. Only takes one defensive coach to babble about some nonsense about toughness before the Ambassador gets weak in the knees, so we'll see if this time is really any different. 

Brady is going into politics. He doesn’t even have to join a party or stand for anything. He and Giselle also may be plotting to buy the Pats from Kraft. Anything this guy touches, turns to gold.

Oooohhhh this is actually a scenario I hadn’t considered. A below-market buy-in as a partial pats owner could be another way to compensate Tom for years of playing below market while middle fingering the cap. I always assumed it would be a sweetheart “lifetime personal services contract” signed with team a year or two after he retires but your hypothesis makes even more sense. It will be the final cheat of the belly/Brady era. One thing is certain they WILL find a way to pay him back for years of bogus salaries. I’m convinced the deal is already done.

As an expert on Men Named Tom Who Are Likely To Sabotage Their Lives, I reject this idea that Brady is going to land on his feet. A month after his retirement, there’s gonna be a Branch Davidian situation outside his homestead. Brady’s sanity is held together by a Bill Belichick pinky in the prostate. Once old boy Bill decides to pull it, Brady’s gonna unravel like a ball of yarn thrown off a cliff. And Politics? Please. My dog has more kompromat ties to him than Ethel Rosenberg. He’s trapped in a sexless marriage to the world’s most highly compensated Brazilian dominatrix.

what's in the eggnog you're drinking? you weren't more excited those 7 or so times the Jets made the playoffs? especially when Rex was the team promoter that talked up every game. 

you can't even say that this year brings more optimism with Darnold because we were all just as optimistic about Sanchez. and Sanchez had the best Oline and Defense so the sky was the limit.

Even the chad Pennington era was more exciting because at least when he stepped in he already had a decent team around him. Darnold has Herndon and on defense Adams, and then... that's about it

With Johnson and Johnson at the helm, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Bowles and Mac are here again next year.

 

Just put it down, before you puke all over yourself.

This post is all kinds of wrong.

 

Yes, the Rex/Sanchez 2-year run was an incredible ride. But we were young and stupid then. We’re wiser now. We recognize it’s a marathon that builds a franchise and franchise QB, not a sprint.

 

And even during that run, most of us knew Sanchez kinda sucked, but hoped he’d get better. Darnold is much better right off the bat. He’s completed over 60 % of his throws, and even a lot of his mistakes have legitimately either not been his fault OR him taking necessary chances (like at the end of a half).

 

The Pennington 2002 season was special as well, yes, but the Raider playoff game exposed both he and Herm Edwards for what they were and would always be.

 

So yes, it’s accurate to say Darnold gives us far more optimism than those eras. Because Darnold is 21, has a tremendous pedigree, and has had some very special moments this year that go beyond the typical flash-in-the-pan QBs.

Totally agree.

The problem with 2009-2010 was always that you knew Sanchez had to develop for it to be sustainable. By the middle of 2012, that dream had been thoroughly shattered. 

2002 was a special ride, but you are correct, Pennington was overtly physically limited and he was never the same after the wrist injury in the preseason of 2003. 

Darnold is a better prospect than Sanchez and Pennington put together.

False - many of us knew Sanchez sucked and simply hoped he’d stop sucking.  Darnold likely wins the Super Bowl in at least one of 2010/2011.  Sanchez was horrid.

So you knew Sanchez was a butt fumbling bust before he ever stepped on the field?  I guess the team was so boring that you didn't even bother watching 2 AFC CG. I think it's more likely you realised he sucked those last few games of the 11' season.  Or maybe,  like most people,  the butt fumble gave it away.

I think it's more likely you realised he sucked those last few games of the 11' season.  Or maybe,  like most people,  the butt fumble gave it away.  

Let me try to enumerate all that is wrong with this post.

First, a guy who started posting here in August of this year is going to tell us about various opinions on this message board 7 and 8 years ago...

Second, some people did think Sanchez was a bust before stepping on the field, many others saw that the team success was despite awful (both by standard and advanced metrics) performance 

Third, there's a difference between sucking, and being a bust.  As clearly stated in my prior post, we hoped that he would improve over time.  The book wasn't closed on Sanchez after two years, but he was a bad quarterback immediately and pretty consistently.

Fourth, Sanchez being a bad QB doesn't mean that fans couldn't watch the Jets, enjoy the playoff runs, and root for them to win.  The team was not boring, or bad.  They just had a bad QB.

Fifth, the buttfumble was and is irrelevant.  It was a 7-point turnover in a blow-out game.  If a good QB did it, it's one bad play that shows up on Sports Center and some gifs.  It's only iconic because it was sort of a metaphor for Sanchez's entire, hapless career.  Anyone who threw in the towel on Sanchez simply based on that play just didn't understand what they were watching for over two and a half years.

So yes, plenty of people were able to see what Sanchez was before one laughable play.  Unfortunate that you weren't one of them.

At the outset I also had high hopes for Sanchez.  I'm a Penn State fan, so I had a pretty good idea of what I thought he could do out of college.  However his skill sets were not as obvious as Darnold's,  and it became clear pretty early that he was a "pretty boy" masquerading as a football player.  You can tell Darnold is different.  He is tough, driven, humble and resilient.  Sanchez was none of those things.  I didn't even view him as a "horrible" draft pick. It just didn't work out.  There is no chance of that happening with Darnold.  He is a Lion.  Sanchez, turns out, was a dog.  Please don't write back to me saying that I insulted dogs, I have five of them.  Like them better than most people. They just don't make good Quarterbacks.
