JohnnyHector Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 But Dorsey wasn't on the Jets radar AFAIK, so what does it matter? DMC was the reason people wanted to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler82 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 i don't know if i follow you. a jets loss would had put them at 3-13 and given them the #3 overall pick. We would not had drafted Dorsey- an undersized guy for the 3-4. i'd much rather have McFadden than Gholston at this point. the future could prove me wrong, and i still have faith Gholston will turn out to be a solid pass rushing LB for us, but McFadden's going to be a top back in this league.

MSGold12 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 McFadden was taken already even if we had (intentionally or otherwise) lost to the Chiefs. Actually Moses, I think you are mistaken. I admit, I was one of those people who said losing to KC last year would be better in the long run then winning. I saw 4 or 5 sure shot blue chippers on the board and with a win there was a chance we could fall as far as 7! I (and many others) had our sites set on either C Long, Ryan or DMC (for me it was DMC I wanted). A loss would have landed us the #3 pick...ahead of oakland who took DMC at 4. A loss to KC last year and DMC is in our backfield right now. No way either Miami or St L take a RB at 1 and 2. IMO, sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture rather than the instant gratification. That week 17 win meant nothing yet cost us serious draft position. I don't do it often, but there are occassions where I root against them...in 1996 for the last 10 weeks so they would fire Kotite is a good example.

Jet Moses Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Herman Edwards was, however, responsible for plenty of Jets losses. Very true. Of course, the hermaphrodites and hermaphiles blamed it all on Cotrell, then hackett. It was never Herm's fault. Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Actually, if the Jets would have lost to the Chiefs, the Jets would have been in the No. 3 position rather than No.5 because they would have been 3-13 and the Rams and the Falcons would have been 4-12 and the Chiefs 5-11. The Jets lost 3 draft positions by that victory. At 3-13, the Jets would have had a choice between DMC and Ryan. The funny thing about Dorsey is that everyone considered him the best defensive prospect in the draft. It's still early though. Yup. Glenn Dorsey was never going to be a Jet. He doesn't fit our system. I still wish we lost against the Chiefs and picked up McFadden. That victory was pointless and ended up costing us 3 spots on the draft board. We went through hell last year for a ****ty moral victory? I"m not saying Gholston is a bust, just that i'd much rather have had DMC than Gholston.

Jetfan_Johnny Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 In hindsight Matt Ryan with a year or maybe two to sit behind Favre would have been the best outcome.

Yep. The thing is, there's no "character issues" with these 2 which would raise major red flags. So they'll have time to develop without them sabotaging their own careers.

It wasn't like DRob who became the 4th overall strictly by what he did at the Combine. My order was Long, DMC, Gholston. Long has not looked good either.

Bugg Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Kinda wonder if Dorsey is hurt by playing for a dolt like Edwards. We KNOW Dorsey is learning nothing about what he's suppsoed to do, with Edwards obsessing over gap coverage or some similar nonsense. Dorsey might very well be a player if you plopped him in front of a coach who knows what he's doing.If you put him on the Browns, with Crennel(may be not a great coach but I guy who knows defenses) he probably is servicable and then some. Also suspect as with any Herman Edwards team,conditioning is kept to a minimum and not stressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The irony is that after the draft, KC was getting high praise for their haul (I too thought they did a good job), but the thing is, with drafts like that, it is using the NEXT HC and GM that reaps the benefit because the HC and GM that select them usually get fired with the growing pains.
