Better2bgreenthanblue Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I think our fan base is long in the tooth. What kid is going to jump aboard our train wreck of an operation? Maybe we're just a bunch of grumpy old men who been holding the bag for 50+ years and are starting to fear we might pass on before our JETS get into another Super Bowl.

Jet_Engine1 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 3 hours ago, Joe W. Namath said: This isnt new. The jets have had 4 legitimate shots to win the super bowl in almost 30 years. 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2009. Dont be mad at the jets because your expectations arent realistic. The good news is, the 2024 jets have the 5th legitimate shot in the last 30 years. Turn your frown upside down jet fans. 13-4 and a division title if rodgers stays healthy!

Bobby816 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I'll be a Jets fan no matter what. But that doesn't mean I cant be frustrated at the way we do things. As we all know. The biggest 2 things that have frustrated me over the last 10-20 years or so are these 2 things. 1. Failure to get difference makers at skill positions early in drafts. This has changed recently with JD in drafting GW, Hall, etc. But we spent nearly 15 years where we never drafted offense pretty much in the 1st besides attempts at a franchise QB. And the 2nd rounders we'd swing on were the wrong guys or we had bad luck. We still went with the motto that defense wins championships while the league was catering to offenses. Luckily we look to finally have opened our eyes to this recently. 2. This one is bigger than the 1st one. But I figured I needed to state that 1st bc I think the lack of offensive skill is what made this happen. Our failure to develop a QB. Geno and Darnold were pretty much never given offensive talent. Geno we tried but he broke his jaw. So obviously there was some bad luck with that. But overall for a long period of time... we were drafting QBs high and throwing them to the wolves with 4th and 5th WRs as our starters. As well as just ok RBs. Its incredibly hard for any QB to succeed with nothing around them. Look at a guy like Purdy. Not great on his own. But given the offensive scheme and the players around him he is and will groom to be a great QB if he isn't already. This is what I hope we will do with Travis over these next 2 years. Develop him behind a HOF QB and a vet QB and continue to build to weapons group over the next couple years. We very well might have a good chunk of that here already in GW, Hall, Corley, Olu, Tipp, AVT. Assuming we resign a few of those guys by that time. But we las have a couple FA and Drafts to build on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 The anger found here isn’t unique. Go to any team fan site for any sport and you’ll find the same. I spend time on a Notre Dame and a Chicago Blackhawk board and it’s not much different. It’s what the internet has morphed into. Too many people spending too much time together turning every message board into the lord of the flies. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fans on this site want the jets to win, we just disagree on the best way to go about. Jets fans have a right to beef, look at other fan bases like the laughable pats fans who have had all the glory for 20 years and at the first sign of a down turn they flee or boo their team. Being a fan does not mean being a doormat. I guess I am one of the worst fans in history. While I get pissed, I see absolutely no sense in letting something upset you that you have no control over.

ARodJetsFan Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 If you were born & raised in New York, you're always looking for something to complain about, it comes with the territory. The Jets haven't sniffed the playoff's since the 2010 season. Do the math. Now I'll go ahead & state the obvious. I think that most (if not all) Jets fans do like the Jets - that's why we're fans in the first place. I think the Jets poor performance, over the last 14 seasons and having not been to a superbowl in over 50 years, is what most fans probably aren't happy with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now showing up w/ a submachine gun. Its ok to believe boys. Find comfort in the bosom of Joe Douglas. This is insanely rich coming from a guy who has posts all over this board claiming Zach to be our savior from 2021-2023, and saying the rest of us have the "Jets fans are the best". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all just a bunch of angry old men at this point. And no, changing teams really isn't an option for nearly all of us. I can't just quit and become a Giants or Steelers fan. Gross. I'd stop watching the NFL altogether rather than stop being a Jets fan. So we're stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
