The Becton haters have to be at least a little bit nervous at this point, right?

Which sets him apart from most NFL players who simply suit up and get in shape as an act of kindness toward the fans for whom they care so deeply.

Come on... You know it's a contract year... From his rookie deal... If he shows up this year he is worth 150 mil contact... If not it's 25 mil... 

[Jet2020]

It’s about time.

I think I speak for every jets fan. Nobody hates mekhi. Nobody wanted to see him fail. 

 

[Untouchable]

What Jets fan wants to see Becton fail, especially with Rodgers now in the fold?

The supposed “Becton haters” have simply pointed out the obvious with the guy.

To this point, he’s proven to be a fat, thin skinned puss who can’t stay on the field.

I don’t care about him suddenly getting back into shape with the offseason activities about to kick into full swing. He did the same sh*t last year. And now it’s do or die for him. He’d have to have rocks in his skull where his brain should be to not be motivated.

Stay on the field, play at a high level and maintain a proper weight and then Jets fans won’t constantly sh*t on your face.

Simple, really.

[southparkcpa]

Nothing would make this fan base happier.   If he just can stay on the field, play at a decent level…..  that would be fantastic.

Fingers crossed.

I also know he's getting older and having had a kid, perhaps wiser? Maybe realizing that just showing up and tossing guys around at 365+ isn't a recipe for long-term success.

And again, money is the only reason all of these guys put in the work they do is for maximum money.

I know, not think, that I've seen people talk about that dude like he's not even a human being.  But I suspect a lot of those people are going to be saying they "believed in him all along" if things go as most Jets fans hope.

Yeah, nobody ever talked about him like he was a piece of garbage and said the team should cut bait now.  Everyone had his back the whole time...LOL.

Nine months ago he was 400 lbs and broke his leg getting bodied by a practice squad dude in practice.

He showed up at unattainable weights , trained poorly and was hurt essentially his entire time here.  We WANT him on the field. Id love to see him in the ring of honor but don’t pretend he didn’t bring some of this on himself, injuries aside.  Why is his training clearly different this year?  

Im glad to see him training better  , if only for his long term health

Some of us want him on the field.  Plenty of others wanted him cut or traded because he was a bust who would never pan out.

Always a good idea to give up on a player with other-worldly talent because he's young and needed a kick in the ass.

People on the board get caught up in being right, but also as a supporter I'd say he really let the team down with how much he coasted the last two years. A lot of fans on this board pay attention to what happens in the offseason training programs. Two years ago he was so out of shape it was like a time bomb before he got hurt, listening to reports of how badly he was getting beaten by Carl Lawson pre achilles. Then last year he wasn't in this shape, wore a big bust t shirt, mocking his critics, then got hurt again, leading to questions if he damaged his body long term.

I hope he does well, but I think he has to have a top 5 season to get tagged, otherwise he might go right back to not caring about the game. Even if he has a career year, he really seems like the kind of guy to gain the weight back. I'm more excited about Max Mitchell, but Becton does have star potential

The HC himself openly talked about Becton working himself back into shape last offseason, and yet there STILL were people insisting that Becton showing up to OTA’s out of shape was some grand fallacy invented by the haters.

Ultimately what has doomed Becton was what I was skeptical of when we first drafted him. Can such a massive human withstand the rigors of the NFL?

What I didn’t know about, was how much of an overgrown vajayjay the guy is and how he let’s any form of criticism constantly fester under his skin.

The dude had/has Jonathan Ogden-esque potential.

But you’re clowning yourself if you think he ever reaches it.

No one wants to see Becton fail. Not one fan I know of

I’ll never understand why grown men talk about these guys as if they’re still 12 year olds with some sort of undying allegiance.

I was all in favor of drafting Becton. His potential was/is enormous.

But so is his appetite and his penchant for whining like a minge.

He either gets it together and stays healthy this season, or he’s gone.

No if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

BTW i don’t know what’s with the titles of your threads lately. They’re making it hard to take you seriously.

In this case, it’s two fold. #1 nobody here “hates” Becton, #2 why would we be “nervous” about the possibility of him playing, and maybe even playing well this season?

We’re Jet fans. Whether you realize it or not most of us want to see him do well, we just aren’t expecting it to happen.

I’m rooting for him and I think there’re is a chance he has a bounce back year, but let’s calm down a little.
 

I’m sure some Jets fans went too far with their Becton rage, but let’s not act like he’s going to war.  He gets paid millions of bucks to play football. The least you can do is show up in shape! I’m glad he looks to be taking this offseason seriously.

I dont recall that….  Many of us wanted Wirfs, but i honestly dont think more than a few wanted him cut.  I want him to play 10 years for us, but wont pretend he is a great example of how to manage your career.  He is NOT.  Becton is the most responsible in this equation.  

[Embrace the Suck]

Haters? Do you mean the people who were right in being alarmed at his conditioning going into camp last year? Me, personally, I'd be thrilled if he came back strong. However, there's still a long way to go before he finds redemption.

[Beerfish]

At this point he is a totally unreliable backup olineman.  Two years to actually get into shape, whoop dee do.

If he makes it past 4 games it will be  a success.

I don’t have an undying allegiance to any player, but there are tons of fans that take shots at players for things that don’t have anything to do with their success or failure as a player.  It certainly goes both ways.  

[David Harris]

I’m annoyed at your title- assuming anyone that has had any doubts about a professional athlete that let himself get to 400+ pounds after a year of “rehab”

[hawk]

**** no!  He can go in to play 12 years at all pro level, and then eat a cheese burger and the haters will hate.

They are never wrong, in their eyes.

Lets start with six straight snaps and build up to six straight quarters.

This is the cat who routinely pulled himself out of games for breathers.

What starting left tackle in the HISTORY of the game has ever done that???
