NIGHT STALKER Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 This is a paragraph from an article by Rich Cimini today...anyone see anything wrong with it? New coach Robert Saleh hasn't revealed his plan for Wilson, but the organization's hope is that he will be ready to start by Week 1. After years of inconsistency at the position, the Jets are confident that Wilson -- the highest-drafted quarterback in franchise history -- can be a long-term fix. So, the key here is not AFL, NFL, CFL or ******* any other FL...he said the highest drafted quarterback in franchise history and that is Joe Namath...PERIOD! 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JTJet Posted May 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2021 Nothing he said was incorrect. Namath was selected #1 overall in the AFL, not the NFL. In the NFL draft, he was selected #13 by the Cardinals. It's fair to assume he was talking about the modern NFL draft. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 People seem to forget how hated Rich was for his garbage posts about the Jets. He was on par with Manish before Manish went full stupid. Lately he got that ESPN gig and is pretending the be a real unbias journalist but the real Rich slips through.

RoadFan Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Cimini is a damn good writer. I get that many of you hate his snarky comments, but they are usually just dry humor that happens to be accurate. We do the exact same thing on this forum every day. Cimini's shots at the Jets would be far more appreciated as a JN poster, instead of a beat writer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 He probably didn’t do it intentionally, but the statement is incorrect. Joe Namath was the highest drafted QB in franchise history. That’s not debatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
