Scott Dierking Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 My victory banner will come when Brett Favre is off this team. THEN, and only then can we start moving forward as a franchise. This vacation with a superstar qb was one of my least enjoyable as a Jet fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That is weird for a good part of the season I enjoyed watching the Jets as well as Favre play. I am not saying that I am smarter than any other fan, but I knew this is how it would end. Actually, at 8-3, I thought they would make the playoffs and lose their first game. With Favre, this script had been written before, so it was particularly easy to see with a team that had not been built around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 It would be nice if the Jets just won a damn super bowl one of these days so the off season wasn't spent telling each other "I told you so" or arguing who was right. Unfortunately, every January, that's all there is to do. Damn this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey I admit I was wrong I thought Favre was a the best chance for us to win this year- but I can not see how anyone thought it was going to be a totally disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Scott hated the Favre situation even when we were 8-3. oh wait..... Building a team for one style of offense, and then bringing a QB who is one-dimensional in a totally different manner than what you built your team, at the last minute, is a recipe for disaster.

SoFlaJets Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey I admit I was wrong I thought Favre was a the best chance for us to win this year- but I can not see how anyone thought it was going to be a totally disaster. you're forgiven Faba-hey I liked the idea too b/c I thought it would push our never-respected team into the spotlight-for a change. Well it DID do that...now we have all seen what a Favre @ 39 team CAN'T do, can we just move on now please? Give me Clemens or Ratliff or Ainge if we're gonna go 9-7 again we might as well do it with an eye towards the future instead of trying to steal a few extra moments from a HOF QB...I saw that movie with Joe Namath and the Rams back in the 70's-it wasn't pretty then either...

Exactly. We know what the ceiling is with Favre at this point in his career, and it is not set high. Other than to be a lap dog for various media outlets, having Brett Favre does not serve the Jets moving forward, and actually moves the franchise backwards.

Irish Jet Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 "Favre isnt good at throwing the slant" ok scott Remember that slant he threw to Stuckey in the week 17 game against Miami? Awesome. Favre at this age isn't good at anything anymore. He was one of the worts QB's in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This vacation with a superstar qb was one of my least enjoyable as a Jet fan. As per Peter King, Favre has to work the land ebfore making this momentous decision. By all accounts this land-working is very important for high-quality NFL QBs. It helps with those off the back foot throws that he has no idea who will catch. Kind of like lottery tickets thing that we mere mortals do not get because we do not work the land. Only a genius like Brett Favre fully understands the importance of such things.This necessitates driving around a rural landscaepe on a John Deere with a cold Bud tallboy in hand.

This vacation with a superstar qb was one of my least enjoyable as a Jet fan. I don't know dude, I went to 13 games this year, and I have to tell you the first 11 games of the season was easily the most fun I ever had being a jets fan, and I would think a lot of fans not old enough to be around for Joe Willy should have felt the same way. Doesn't anyone remember seeing that Arizona game and scoring 56 points, beating the fins in their house to start the year, going to buffalo and taking out a then high flying Bills team, Bringing Tenn's undefeated streak in their house, watching Favre take us on an early tear then bringing us back a second time against the pats on a Thursday night. Utterly face raping the Rams. There were a lot of fun times being a Jets fan this season. I will agree this great fun also came with a huge crushing blow in the last 5 games, but to say this was anywhere near as unenjoyable as the kotite years, or even 05 or 07 is just crazy same old jets fan talk.

The guy just got hurt, not much you can do at that point. With a division title on the line at the home stretch you had to keep plugging away, anyone who says we should have gone with a backup at that point is purely thinking in hind sight. The truth is, if the defense didn't fall apart we would have made noise in the playoffs. I don't think the Favre experiment was a flop, he was doing fine until Denver and his injury.

The guy got injured at a bad time for us down the stretch, but to say he is one of the worst in the league is just not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying my experience matched other jet fans-All I can do is tell you what my experience was. For me, having Favre at QB meant that we either had to go to SB, or it was a bust year in terms of progressing the franchise. And the fit was never there. My experience only. Yours may not match.

For me, having Favre at QB meant that we either had to go to SB, or it was a bust year in terms of progressing the franchise. And the fit was never there. My experience only. Yours may not match. Well, a football team is made of three separate islands, offense, defense, and special teams. To say that not going to the superbowl alone equals bust for one player is just foolhardy. Witness the Cards this year, they have had great offensive talent but it wasn't until they started playing some defense at the end that they got to where they are. Yes Favre threw way too many interceptions, but the defense in those last five games gave up way way too many easy plays. How about Cutler in the rain looking like Joe Montana in his prime. How about special teams giving up way to much yardage on kickoffs every time? This is a team game, and unlike basketball or baseball where a player gets to play both sides of the game, in football you really can only effect the side you are on. The team as a whole lost this season. We were riding high and then got the rug pulled out from under us with Favre and Jenkins getting hurt and the rest of the team and especially the coaching staff did little to nothing to pick up the pieces and make adjustments. The worst thing about this season if you ask me was easily the coaching. Look how many 3rd quarter points other teams scored, look how many easy games we were completely unprepared for, the lack of ability to make adjustments was just huge.

I don't look at them as separate islands. I look at them as units that need to compliment each other. And, the Jets were starting to build complimentary units, up until teh Brett Fav re signing. Square peg, meet round hole. Does that mean that the Favre signing alone doomed this season? Of course not. But it put it on a course that was predictable (failure-meaning not being in the SB), and ultmately, that decision may retard the progress for the rest of the squad. It was a "win now" decision, with a squad that wasn't ready to "win now". And we are left to pick upo the pieces. Please, every club has injuries. And Favre was firing fine on game 16. The melodramatics aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
