Is it ok to feel good?

We haven't won a single regular season game yet, and that's what its about but in my opinion, Jets fans could not have asked for much more this off season. I for one am so appreciative just being back in the conversation of competent NFL football. After last night's MNF game, I sense a slight change in perspective from the media as well.

Our lowest point had to be mid December when the "experts" were suggesting that Trevor Lawrence stay in school rather than ruin his career by being taken by the Jets. Then we win against the Rams guaranteeing losing out on a "generational" QB.

What has transpired since, from a Jets perspective, is truly remarkable. While no one is perfect, at the very least Joe Douglas looks like he knows what he’s doing. Thank you Joe Douglas for simply looking competent (and if Im honest, even much better than just competent) . 

- After such a depressing end to an even more miserable season somehow Joe Douglas landed the top rookie HC  prospect in Robert Saleh who also has had the top defenses in the last few seasons overcoming catastrophic injuries. How exactly did this happen considering we were a national laughing stock? 

- Robert Saleh then hires La Flafuer and immediately  (and reluctantly) the "experts" and fans are excited that we have one of the best young offensive minds available. So much that it was mentioned during the Saints/ Jags MNF game at what a disadvantage Trevor Lawrence is at with the coaching staff of the Jags. 

- We are (were) considered, by the experts, as a laughing stock but somehow sign top available FAs (on paper) in Cory Davis, Moses and Karl Lawsen. Follow up with Jarred Davis, Cole, and restructure Crowder. 

- With our coaching staff in place, we then turn to the draft and the million dollar question: What to do at QB? The debate of Zach, Fields, keep Darnald and trade down was dissected every which way. We trade Sam for an absolute heist (again). A 2nd and 5th for a QB we didnt want and who hasnt played well. Again, how exactly did Douglas pull this off? 

- As the draft process continues it becomes clearer that Zach might be special enough to take with the second over all pick but there is still strong debate about Justin Fields and to a lesser degree Trey Lance.

- Zach’s play (thus far) speaks for itself. Close to perfect when developing a rookie Qb but of course with minor setbacks with room to improve. Couple a hiccups but nothing to get too negative about.

- Vera Tucker, Moore, Carter, and the late round picks all look like they can contribute.

- Crazy high expectations for Moore who is being praised all around.  targeting at 23 and somehow got him in the 2nd. 

- Of course we are all devastated by the Lawson injury and we still have some holes to fill but we are moving in right direction. I feel a lot more confident as a Jets fan than I would if I were a Lions, Giants or Jaguar fan. Media is killing the Jaguars coaching staff and schemes today. 

- After watching Trevor Lawrence struggle against the Saints (and week 1 of pre seasons), and hearing all the “experts” make excuse after excuse for him it makes me rest just a little easier that we may have just gotten so lucky having the 2nd pick overall rather than the 1st.

- It makes me rest even easier that Joe Douglas, while not perfect, continues to put the right people in place to build success.

Yes.

It's also fine to feel good without asking for other peoples permission to feel good.

A trait that the younger generations seem to have:

submissive and too socially-conscious behavior that constantly seeks approval and reaffirmation from strangers rather than having the self confidence to one’s true & authentic self. Pathetic really, lol

A lot of adults have adopted that mindset as well.

I am actually a little happy things didnt go smoothly today. We need Zach to feel pressure and today I gather he received it. 

Moore coming back is cool.  But entering the week of the final preseason game, the oline needs to hold up better vs a starting dline.

Remember the paranoid motto:

"Just because you don't think they are out to get you, doesn't mean they aren't."

Always works for me ...

I think the expression is "just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me." The story of my life.

Don't jinx us by getting all positive. Over the last 50 years as a Jets fan the summer optimism always has a way of getting beaten out of me by the actual season. And usually after the first few games...

Maybe this year will be different. Although I have been saying that for the last 50 summers...

In my best full-blown coach speak let me just say... I will continue to remain cautiously optimistic. As we all know this is a young team and there will be a learning curve.

All of these young men are making progress although some of them are swimming. They are getting used to the speed of the game but it's a process.

Every player just has to work as hard as he can, keep his head down and go to work out there. Put in your best effort day in and day out. Again this is a process... Each and every day we strive to get better in the classroom , also on and off the field.

These men understand the process and that they will learn from their mistakes. We have a great veteran presence and great leadership in the locker room.

At the end of the day.... I believe we have great character on this team. We're just going to keep our heads down and keep working and at the end of the season we'll see where the chips fall.

Any more questions?

Okay thank you.

If you can't feel good about the Jets before the season starts, then when can you feel good about them?

I just want to see competitive football.  I want to see meaningful games in December.  I want to see a culture shift and a focus on winning.  It's only preseason, but the Jets are 2-0 and appear to have a competent level of QB play.  Just keep it going.
