Icer Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Good for the players, but I feel nothing but disdain for this putrid coaching staff that led this team to Week 15 without a win. It's still a miserable day that will live in Jets infamy, these players will go play somewhere else and we'll be stuck watching this sorry team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torus34 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 OK. So the New Jersey Jets may not get first pick. That means they will not get a disgruntled, over-paid player who does his best to get traded. There may be some lessons to learn from the book, 'Money Ball'. A really good look at the team -- offense, defense and special teams -- will uncover some pretty good players. There may be others who can be moved with profit to a different position. Then, what to do is to locate players who will 'fit'. Needed is a QB who is sturdy enough to last a season. One who will fit with the capabilities of the offensive squad will add much to the possibility of winning games. There's work to be done, much of it evaluation of what is rather than yearning for some magic bullet 'cure'. Regards, season's best to all.

I'll take Mehki Yes and I'm sure five years from now and Jets are struggling in, at best, mediocrity because they can't find a QB and TL is winning 13 games a year and hoisting the Lombardi trophy - and Becton is forcing his way off the Jets.

shawn306 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 And I'll add something else here. The Rams came into this game 9-4 and fighting for the Western division title. Arguably the best defense in the league, WR's in Coup and Woods, A good TE and QB that was drafted #1 in 2016 facing a team that was making its second trip to the West Coast in as many weeks, coming off a disgraceful performance against Seattle and winless. If anything Jets fans should be going on every Rams board out there and ripping them to shreds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To hear some of the sound bites (especially Becton), and the joy in their voices, you begin to understand the other side of this. No player or coach wants the stain of a winless season on their record. I understand and respect that this is not a popular opinion here. But, perspective. Did I want to have the ability to add Trevor Lawrence to the Jets? Yes, I did because it would have been interesting to watch and made a good storyline. Am I devastated that may now be diminishing as a possibility? No. It was long ago when sports results became an important factor in my order of priorities. That is just me, but again I preach perspective. Someone on this site had a baby yesterday. I am still very interested in how this team builds forward, and will have zeal in that process. Go ahead, hammer away and tell me I am wrong. You're definitely not wrong. Current players and staff have different interests than fans. Good for them, bad for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 2 hours ago, Butterfield said: Congrats losers. You won a single game. Now go find a different job. Because a team loses games does not make them "losers" Improvement shows that someday they will be winners with some good young talent on this roster that is developing. I would call this team losers if they laid down and they have certainly not done that. While I wanted the Jets to have a shot at Lawrence we still have a load of picks and money to build on both sides of the ball in the draft and FA without Lawrence in the picture Douglas can trade out of the second or third pick if he so chooses and get even more draft capital to build with. Either way the Jets are in a good position to move forward and build a roster the way it should be built. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead, hammer away and tell me I am wrong. You are not wrong at all. Even if we don't like Gase (and I truly don't) you have to give them credit for playing hard all season. It's a good thing for them to be rewarded. There are players on this team that we will want to stay and 0-16 puts a big dent in that. I was resigned to taking Lawrence, even if I thought they should go another route. Now they have options. I believe that there is going to be a large demand for that second pick. They can trade out for multiple picks to improve multiple areas, or they can take a very good player at that point. They need OL, WR, pass rusher, CB, RB and a TE. If some team offers multiple firsts and seconds I'm trading down. If not, I like the OT from Oregon, Sewell, or whoever the most pro ready CB is. The current roster has a few players to build around, so I still think that they will be attractive to coaching prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been awful all year - and one a game that put this franchise back a decade. And then in post game interviews when asked about Jet fans wanting to lose - the joy in their voices (especially Bectons) about sticking it to the fans was sickening. It doesn't matter though. These guys are playing for jobs. It would be like wanting a company to fail because there's a prospect of a buyout and you hold stock so your rooting for the buyout. You don't care if the workers of the company get fired just as long your stock goes up. Sure it sucks that maybe the Jets will lose out on Lawrence but lets keep some perspective here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't have this fixation on a college boy, if this game were, say, a win-and-in game for a playoff berth, we'd be right proud of the way this team played yesterday. We just went West and spanked a team many have as the Super Bowl representative from the NFC in a game they desperately needed. So disappointed as I am, I do see a very-real silver lining.
