lawngnome o-line Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd like to think that the Jets are doing all of this to improve (and in my opinion I love all of this offseason action, definitely keeps its interesting). But generally there is a difference between signing big names and signing players that can help your team win. Woody and Tanny have proven that they can do the first, which makes me happy to be a Jet fan. Glad to see they are willing to make those moves, but I'd be blind to think it is just to improve the team. It's hard to be that naive. Since I'm not able to get tickets, I can't complain either way!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Obviously the PSL sales increase will be a side benefit of all this off season activity, I don't think it was the sole motive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Everything we've done back to and including Favre has been psl based.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think the Hard Knocks thing is to sell PSLs but getting Holmes for a fifth rounder is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 So tired of this argument... The only thing that drives up PSL sales is winning. We did that last season, mission accomplished. Now they have to keep on winning. "My favorite football team keeps getting better just so they can sell tickets" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman88 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Serious can Jet fans be happy about anything without coming up with something to complain about? Can't we just be excited for once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan122 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Serious can Jet fans be happy about anything without coming up with something to complain about? Can't we just be excited for once? I agree , instead of scrutinizing these moves , just enjoy them . We are finally getting name players who aren't past their primes ( with the exception of LT ) .

Jbro22 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Weed Suppliers? Holmes is from Belle Glade. He can go out and pick it I think he was saying that the only people that will be buying PSL are his dealers because he'll give them enough business for them to afford them...

flgreen Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I knew what he meant. I was just being a smart arse. There is lots of weed in Belle Glade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be happy if we have a crappy season and the stadium is empty, so they can say "Told you so... Same Old Jets". BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 If they are, then I wish we had gotten PSLs like 30 years ago. I'd rather see my team win on TV than lose in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Football is a business, and the winners typically generate more income than the losers. Spin it however you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 "Because the Jets got Santonio Holmes, I decided to give them twenty thousand dollars." - No One. That is a ridiculous pov. But say if we didn't sign Cro, LT, and Holmes, and instead picked up lower profile role guys (Poole, Folk, et al). The average jet fan (not people on this board, our decision about PSL's were decided months ago), would feel that the team isn't getting it done to put the best product and may not consider PSL's if they have it. Instead when these fans here the names of Cromartie, Tomlinson, and Holmes, especially coming off of this year, it makes it that much more attractive than finding suitable alternatives at each position. Moves like this do not get the diehard blogosphere Jet Fan. It is to get the slightly above average Jet fan who is easily distracted with shiny things and pretty colors (or big name players).

That's all fine and dandy, but then you're assuming that 'average Jet fan who is easily distracted with shiny things and pretty colors' woke up yesterday morning and opened the paper, and that motivated him to open his checkbook and write 2-0-0-0-0 in the box. I highly doubt players are what put 'the average Jet fan' on the fence, but rather, that number in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats more of a byproduct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
