playtowinthegame Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 At the moment, it's hard to argue with your list. I'll say it again, I know teams don't win a Super Bowl in free agency, but I don't know how Joe Douglas will be able to address the line completely in the draft.

RevisIsland610 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Why are we even talking about this after the first few days of FA. Can we at least wait until the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating Jets re-signed G Lewis and signed C/G McGovern and may not be done on Oline yet in FA and certainly will address it in the draft as well.

Nixhead Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So which team now has the best QB in the division? Its the Jets and yes Id take Darnold over Allen. Fins and Pats we don't know who their QBs are. This division is up for grabs and I expect good things from our Jets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk I have been critical of Belichick through the years (not that he isn't an all time great coach but about how Brady led the dynasty) but it would be the greatest shock in the history of mankind if that man didn't play to win. There's a much better chance they won the AFC East with jarred stidham than tanking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Not sure how anyone can power rank the jets over the pats given the proven records of head coaching capabilities. Pats defense is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but look at the records without Tom Brady starting: Belichick 7 seasons 54-63, 46% 1 Wild Card playoff appearance Gase 4 seasons: 30-34, 47% 1 Wild Card playoff appearance And the pats D was very good against some bad offenses, they struggled against good offenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't know if there has been a more overhyped coach after one year than Brian Flores. The guy went 5-11 and you would think he went 11-5 or something. I'm not saying he's a bad coach, and I get he had a bad roster, but give me a break with him already. Bowles went 5-11 with Josh McCown in 2017 after we gutted our roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either he did a great job or a terrible job, depending on how you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The Jets need to pay big time for an EDGE rusher to pressure the other QBs in their division, and sign a CB or two to cover people. I think this is the game that Clowney is playing. The other three teams in the division have much better rosters, and coaches, but the QB situations are much less strong. The Jets need to be able to disrupt the NE and Miami QBs, whomever they may be, and cover the receivers that Josh Allen will try to throw to (understanding that he will not be throwing into tight windows, so coverage needs to be B level, not A level). Clowney, Darby/Prince. Draft OL and WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
