***Official: Mike LaFleur‘s apology thread***

[JoeDouglasFart]

I have to admit that I wanted to see him fired. I called him a "Smurf" and other names. I was wrong and I apologize to you Mikey. Way to turn things around! 

I also believed that our D was going to be a 10-15 range by the end of this year...boy I got it all wrong!

So for all of you that preemptively fired Little Mike, come out and apologize!

[Barry McCockinner]

Good on you for admitting you were wrong but I don't think the smurf comment is going to be forgivable. Just saying.

[slimjasi]

It’s almost like you have to give first time coaches and coordinators more than 5 games 

 

 

[Scott Dierking]

It is an admirable sentiment. LaFleur's viability with the Jets is going to be totally dependent upon the development of the kid QB. They are tied at the hip. I can't see how if Wilson fails, LaFleur survives. Or anyone in this regime for that matter.

My mark for him is INCOMPLETE. But it appears he has been doing more of own his homework now, and not copying someone else. 

[JustInFudge]

Lil Mikey has always had my full support.

All the QBs have flourished under LaFleur‘s system except Wilson, who is slowly catching on. For those reasons, I put JD on the firing line first.

[Joe W. Namath]

Now just waiting for the "I was wrong about Joe Douglas, Robert Saleh and Zach Wilson" threads and we will be all set moving forward.

[playtowinthegame]

I'm sure Mike Lafleur will sleep better tonight now that JoeDouglasFart has apologized.

Have all coaches succeeded under the Bill Bellichick system?

That is not a real criteria basis in my mind. The LaFleur coaching branches really come under the Shanahan tree.

 

[freestater]

If there's any apologizing going on around here, it should be Woody and Chris to all of us.

Maybe if we could show the same patience for the rest of this staff including JD, we would feel the same by the end of next year.

[jgb]

It's amazing how quickly Jets can go from bum, to hero, to back to bum.

[kmnj]

the coaching staff on both sides of the ball and the head coach is awful

fans keep  pumping up the roster and the coaches -we have how many wins? our team is bad in every single aspect of the game

 

[RedBeardedSavage]

It's like being a fat f*** for years and then hiring a personal trainer, sticking to an exercise plan and implementing good nutrition. 

You're not going to transform over night. It's going to take time and it's going to be frustrating for quite a while.

We're all just impatient because it's been a decade of terrible football.

These "fans"? Does that include you?

So if we all stop posting our thoughts and analysis and opinions (pro and con) as we go along, because "patience", and are only allowed to post opinions on these folks in a few years time......what do you want to talk about now?

Maybe I might suggest that day by day analysis and "have patience" are not mutually exclusive.

Zach pretty much is the worst QB in the NFL so far.  That is (crude, admittedly) analysis.

Zach will be here for a minimum of 40 more games (three years).  That is acknowledging that we "have to have patience" regardless of if we want to or not.

I get a feeling the "have patience" people are ALSO the people who proclaim our coaches and players as great and awesome at the first sign of anything positive, and what they REALLY mean by "have patience" is "stop being negative by posting facts counter to positivity about underperforming people".

For example, are any of you "have patience" folks yourselves "having patience" when it comes to Elijah Moore, or is he already amazing, awesome, starter bestest draft pick eva' as you see it, no "patience" required on that one to see how it turns out in a few years?

Am I allowed to be critical that JD has failed to find a Kicker despite many opportunities and 3 years of being in the job?  

Or do I have to have patience with JD on that too?

Because this site allows daily posts, I think that rationale of opinion on this site falls on a recency bias. Which in this case (this week, Zach Wilson), the arrow for some is pointing up. This then portends the "patience" analysis, because of that recency bias. 

If the performance again dips next week, then arrow will be pointing down for the middle of the roaders.

Then, of course, you will always have some that are down all the time, or up all the time.

Opinions are weird stuff. I guess that is why @Maxman is a millionaire. Off our sweat equity of thought.

And the same ones who try to shut down criticism of Zach now, will also try to shut it down when and if they Jets finally give up to him. At that point saying, "He's not a Jet anymore. Stop beating a dead horse."

As you point out, it's just never the right time to criticize the Jets latest "QB of the future."

[Beerfish]

The offense was poor, he acknowledged it, said he has to go back and see what was wrong, he went into the booth, made adjustments and the O looks from functional to really good.

 

Then we look at defense, stinko scheme, poor play making same errors over and over, no adjustments, almost no acknowledgement of the fail of that side of the ball.

[rangerous]

i had some doubts but also realized that he is a newbie at his position and it was going to take time.  he's doing better but i still think he doesn't adjust as much as he should or could during games.  sunday's game was an example.  the eagles adjusted to the jets offence but lafleur didn't match the adjustment.  i'll give him some part of a pass because he's running out of players.

[thebuzzardman]

I'm just here for the anti Zach Wilson posts, sure to follow as the culprit ruining LaFleur's beautiful offense.

I will apologize to you as well, if it happens. In the meantime,  just tone down your "ass kissing comments" and we will be alright. 

[undertow]

Imagine apologizing or hero worshipping anyone associated with this organization?  Imagine how big of a cuck you must be?  You probably apologize to your wife's BF for coming home early. 

[Hex]

I apologize to LaFleur too, I thought he was an idiot who wasn't old enough for the job

clearly his need for the booth is much more than we thought

Can’t wait to see a similar thread for Saleh next year.
