rbstern Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 And while that would be an important difference in the playoff hunt, it doesn't really change the outlook of the team. The number one priority is fixing the o-line. There are maybe two or three QBs in the league who would (again...maybe) be okay behind the Jets o-line: Mahommes, Jackson, maybe Murray. Guys with high pocket awareness and the ability to hurt the defense with their legs. And they'd still take a beating. Not convinced this o-line wouldn't have gotten AR knocked out sooner or later, anyway. The number two priority is getting a legit #2 wideout. The number three priority is upgrading TE. Ruckert might be one of the guys, but Conklin and Uzomah have been under-performers and don't fit the mold of the consistent threats that the upper tier TEs in the league represent. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RutgersJetFan Posted November 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2023 I mean it's safe to say that if Rodgers was healthy the team would be getting attacked on game day by flocks of geese armed with dildos or something.

bitonti Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 We saw one series of Rodgers and he looked shot Holding the ball 5 seconds on a 2 second quick hit that was open Look at 2022 film he's been gunshy for a while Look at his performance in big games or playoffs he's never been more than a coin flip in big games Rodgers is washed. Done. He's better than Zach and Boyle but he's not elite anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Things Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 If Rodgers doesn't get hurt, we beat KC and NE. But then he ruptures his Achilles behind the oline we put out two days ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbstern Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Can't agree. The running game is trash. Without the run, the play action doesn't scare anybody. And AR is Mr. Play Action. 6-4 or 5-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Ghost Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I love when guys make up imaginary records saying things like “we’d be 6-4 if…” as if the teams we beat or lost to would’ve played the exact same way on both offense and defense as they did with Wilson at QB right? I mean they would’ve definitely continue to load up the box, and would’ve certainly tried to run the clock with 10 point leads right? Not to mention the 40yo QB (who broke down after 4 plays) would’ve definitely reverted back to his ‘21 self as if ‘22 never happened… because those things always work out for this team.

I don’t think he would be as passive as Zach is. He would refuse to lose and play with more fire. And maybe Lazard catches the balls. And saleh would get behind Rodgers if he called out certain players for poor play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 The op is correct on this, this team other than the terrible QB has a lot of problems. Allen lazard getting too many targets lie he did last year in green bay was not good, cobb would still stink, the oc would still stink. The oline would still be injured and highly suspect.

Put a real QB behind center who knows how to read defenses and its a totally different outcome with the running game. Jets would be 6-4/7-3 and in playoff contention and a far cry from a 4-6 sh*t show that has no hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
