Rich Cimini: Jets staring into the abyss, it’s a dark time place

[PositiveJet]

He sounds like Robert Frost.

Hello Darkness, my old friend. 

[Beerfish]

It's only the abyss if they do nothing at all to upgrade next year.

White is a possibility as are a lot of other qbs hey can get.

Flacco will be gone strevler will be just practice squad fodder.

Also this team won a game with flacco and won 5 games with wilson as bad as he has been

Someone will take a gamble on The Strev.

Hello darkness. How familiar to us Jet fans 

[Adoni Beast]

Cimini loves watching the Jets suffer, like a kid watching worms boil.

This is a 2008 collapse.  2008 from 8-3 to no where.    This year……TOAST after 7-4

[Ron Rico]

The GM has to take responsibility for all of this. We were this close to the playoffs this year if only we had a warm body with a pulse that could play QB in the NFL.

And we lost in a pouring rain game to the dreadful Broncos that year near the end. Kind of like last nights game.

Cimini hasn’t updated his profile picture since the last time we had a good QB

[FTL Jet Fan]

Parasite, Cimini as dramatic as spoiled teenage girl. 

[y2k8]

What a drama queen. Honestly.

The team is decent and getting better. We just need to upgrade the QB to serviceable to be. playoff team.

The abyss was Adam Gase, year 2. The abyss was Todd Bowles year 4.

This is would only be a calamity if the FO doesn't move on from Milf Hunter Jr.

The trouble is that there's nothing to upgrade to.  The options are very limited as to replacements at QB.

Missing the QB pick has doomed the Jets to mediocrity for the next few seasons.  Now those resources are going to be spent attempting to find someone to fill the void at QB while having to ignore talent gaps elsewhere and believe me there are quite a few.  It's the exact same situation we've been dealing with for 50 plus years but amplified due to the current NFL rules: if you don't have good QB play, you don't stand a chance at being successful in the NFL today.

He isnt wrong. 

JD is 100% at fault here and he should pay the price for it. 

Yes, his last draft was pretty good. But you could argue 50% of GMs would have picked the players we did at the spots we did. 

You just cannot botch the #2 overall this badly and expect to keep your job.

All true here.  It's been 12 years since you could honestly say this Jets team is merely a QB away from title contention.

Obviously that's an enormous hurdle to clear but there are going to be some options for this front office.  Gotta get it right.

So perfect.

You can if you are JD, because he’s keeping his job. (And he deserves to). A lot of good GMs miss on the QB. This past draft has earned him another crack at it, IMO. 
 

Also, his last draft was better than pretty good - it was excellent. He likely has the OROY and DROY AND another player who would have run away with OROY if he hadn’t gotten hurt. That’s pretty rare. Give him another shot to get us a QB - assuming mike white doesn’t become the guy.

Well the 'talent gaps' are not the fault of the miss at QB that is the fault of joe douglas whiffing on too many picks.

Teams are falling into better than expected Qbs all the time. 

I do not expect us to get a sure fire franchise guy but Douglas bloody well better make a good effort to upgrade or bring in guys better than flacco and strev.

It all hinges on MW’s ribs.

But provided he gets cleared in the next 10 days, if Miami loses to Aaron Rodgers Sunday, we are right back in this.

[varjet]

I like JD and feel Woody lured him into Zach Wilson. 
 

But…the Chiefs fired John Dorsey after drafting Mahomes, Tyreek, etc.

Enter Mike White, who plucks our franchise and collective fanbase out from the darkness.

Farve tore his bicep but played through it, not well. Surprise we didn’t have a capable backup.

I hear you, but I can’t go there right now. This team has lost 5 of 6 games. We are a sinking ship. Hard to see us winning back to back road games right now. 
 

I won’t worry about another score until I see us play a good game again, and even if we do that next Sunday, we could very well be eliminated by then (if I’m not mistaken, if both NE and Miami win this weekend, we are out) 

[Sammybighead]

This isn't the abyss. The abyss was when we had sam, had no clue what he was because there was 0 talent on the team.

We have young talent on this team now.

Media got really dramatic, really fast. These guys need to put the pen down down, take a deep breath, step back and think before they post something this moronic. 

And I like rich

Why is this unfathomable. We were at that place 3 years after spending a 3rd overall on Darnold. We were also at that place a few years after spending a 5th overall on Sanchez. This is par for the course.

Feels like the only decent QB play is when we pick up random vets who were not good enough for other teams.

Has Rich not been following along the last 10 years?

The GM also takes responsibility for acquiring the talent that put the team in position to make the playoffs in the first place

[Vader]

Mike White is a quasi-beta level starter in this league who's making name and he's also a far above average back up. 

There is no abyss.

 

[Vader]

Sign Mike White.
