Popular Post Greenbloodblitz Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 Well the ceiling is up to the coaches and the players, but I commend Joe Douglas for raising the floor. I just caught the second half of the Jets Giants preseason game on NFL Network and our third stringers we're playing their asses off. Listen no matter what line of work you're in character matters. I worked in the auto glass industry since 1997 I was always a manager and I've always trained young dudes. It's not just about the mechanics in art form. It's about getting them to think but getting them to grow with their relationships with their parents, with their girlfriends, with their children to be better men. Same as I've said I've played in bands for almost 40 years and I'll take a guy who can play five different instruments and is inspired to show up anytime any day over any virtuoso beauty queen. Now I can't guarantee we're going to be in a Super Bowl, but like the HC said there are guys that play football because they love football and there are guys who play football because of what football brings them. We want guys who love football~ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite an entertaining thing to doze off. Basically, they think all that stuff is produced by a vast conspiracy encompassing tens or even hundreds of thousands of scientists, pilots, astronauts, engineers, politicians, etc. No one posited a theory about what the motive would be to dump the resources into such an effort and how it's possible to keep so many people completely silent. Two people knew Bill Clinton got some nookie in the Oval Office and the whole world found out about it within like 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Floor is 4 wins, this team is much better than last year and we won 4. Ceiling is a playoff spot though that is pretty unlikely. I actually have more confidence in our offense playing pretty well than our defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever blew the top off a conspiracy that big would be an instant multi-multi-millionaire with book deals and movie rights. There isn't enough money to buy the silence of everyone who would need to be involved to maintain the façade. The likelihood of a conspiracy's existence is inversely proportional to the number of people who would need to be involved to pull it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizationally, they should have an eye for anything under being a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerovoltz Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 From the outside looking in....I'll be surprised if you win 5 games. It's a QB driven league. I don't think Zach Wilson is going to develop into a good or even average NFL QB. I read here quite a bit about how many here applaud the current FO for improving the roster. I'm not going to disagree with that sentiment but even with the improvement, the roster just has too many guys on it that aren't difference makers...and the few guys you have that might be, seem to be hurt too much. I pointed out some of the issues with the current set up. I won't go over that again here, but I believe you guys are heading for another down year, and I think probably another coaching change if not entire FO. Marrying your career to a high draft pick that doesn't work out, is perilous. The guy in Arizona survived Josh Rosen...but he moved on after 1 year and got it mostly right, with Kyler Murray. I can see a scenario where some of these newer guys look allright but the QB doesn't develop and maybe Douglass survives that and gets one more shot at another QB and coach. I'm probably not as sold on your draft class as most. 4 or less wins. New FO and Coach. the fix is as both elusive and as simple as getting the QB and coach right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably not as sold on your draft class as most. 4 or less wins. New FO and Coach. the fix is as both elusive and as simple as getting the QB and coach right. Agree with your points on QB. Regarding the draft class, the only one of the Jets top 4 picks I'm not enthused about is JJ. Anyone can bust, but with the information available at the time, it's hard to reasonably criticize JD's handling of the top of the draft. Early returns on Clemons are also encouraging. Ruckert and Mitchell, I don't watch enough college ball to have an opinion on either of those guys, yet. The coaches are all inexperienced. We will find out in a hurry this season what part talent and what part coaching played in last year's disaster. And, of course, you'd hope that the big 3 (HC/OC/DC) learned something from their first full year in their respective roles (Ulbrich was interim DC in ATL for part of 2020). The key question to watch is if the D is underperforming, does Saleh step in to right the ship/make the tough decision regarding Ulbrich for the good of the team? My mentor told me once "you're not really a manager until you have to fire someone." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
