Rex Ryan deserves a raise from his $3 million per year and not because he led the Jets to the AFC Championship Game as a rookie head coach.

Woody Johnson and Mike Tannenbaum have so much confidence in Ryan's people skills, they have added team psychiatrist, chaplain and babysitter to his job description. The Jets have loaded up on knuckleheads since Ryan has arrived, which puts tremendous pressure on him to coach the team and manage the locker room.

And let's face it, Ryan is a bit of a loose cannon himself.

Bill Parcells was the best ever at dealing with players who major in testing patience. Clearly, the decision by Johnson and Tannenbaum that Ryan can handle anybody they bring into the locker room will either take the Jets to the next step in 2010 right to the Super Bowl or be a failed chemistry experiment that blows up the team.

"They think Rex Ryan is a warden, the best warden there ever was, he could take anybody's problems and fix them," one general manager said yesterday. "As a personnel guy, you want to believe that. If you do, then you have carte blanche now to do all these reclamations on these very talented players that for whatever reason were misfits in their place. They believe so strongly in Ryan's ability to handle these kinds of players."

It started last year with Braylon Edwards, who was acquired a few days after he got into a skirmish with LeBron James' buddy in Cleveland. Then in the offseason, the Jets added father-of-the-year candidate Antonio Cromartie from the Chargers and the Steelers handed them Super Bowl hero Santonio Holmes just as he was being hit with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

LaDainian Tomlinson and Jason Taylor are potential problems in different ways. LT is used to getting the ball. A lot. He offered plenty of reasons for his reduced production last year, although declining skills didn't appear to be high on his list.

Taylor, a serial Jets hater, picked them over retirement since they were the only team offering him a contract. Will he be happy with a reduced role? If nothing else, extended air time on "Hard Knocks" could help his acting career.

And last night they added Boise State's Kyle Wilson, who, like his new coach, is known to have quite a bit of swagger.

"Obviously, they are loading up to win now," the GM said. "I don't see anything wrong with that thinking. They were close last year. The silver lining with Holmes, Cromartie and Edwards is they are playing for contracts. They've all been embarrassed and humiliated and will be on their best behavior. In the short term, it has a good chance of working. They didn't mortgage their future. Everything they did was calculated. If it backfires, it's not going to sink the ship."

What about chemistry?

"Rex will take care of the chemistry," the GM said. "They figure Rex will keep the inmates together."

Odd that I didn't read anything negative about the Dolphins' acquisiton of Marhsall when Parcells gave up a pair of 2nd's and a zillion dollars a year. I can only imagine how stupid that brillinat move would have been if the Jets had instead acquired him.

I can't take football discourse seriously from a "man" who, from every time I've seen him on screen, seems to enjoy wearing more rosy lipstick than Tammy Faye Bakker.

So, Kyle Wilson is a "bad boy" because he has attitude on the field? I would think he would be a worse boy if he didn't.

I think it's very possible he made that call because of the video in Wilson's home. Racial undertones if you ask me... but you didn't.

What's also funny is that the GM Myers is quoting seems to think the Jets there's little wrong with what the Jets are doing, so, I'll stick with that.

Gary Myers is a straight hater.

This is the same guy who said that the Curtis Martin move would set the franchise back for years.

Turns out that Curtis Martin was the reason the Jets stayed competitive for years.

I've come to realize after watching Daily News Live on SNY and by all the news threads thru the years here that the whole Daily News staff is an old school Giants team of reporters/fans who seldom have any interest in talking about the Jets and if the Giants weren't so cheap they'd affiliate themselves with a station like the Jets have @ SNY-now THAT is one long-assed sentence

Gary Myers has always been a Giants fan and Jets hater. That said, the article really seems to paint the Jets pretty favorably. The unnamed GM seems pretty impressed with all of our moves, and Myers quoted the good stuff.

Myer's is a douche, but he finishes up the article with this quote:

"Obviously, they are loading up to win now," the GM said. "I don't see anything wrong with that thinking. They were close last year. The silver lining with Holmes, Cromartie and Edwards is they are playing for contracts. They've all been embarrassed and humiliated and will be on their best behavior. In the short term, it has a good chance of working. They didn't mortgage their future. Everything they did was calculated. If it backfires, it's not going to sink the ship."

I was going to highlight a portion of that, but the whole quote is gold. Basically, you have an NFL GM applauding what the Jets are doing. They're loaded for 2010, and have their options wide open for 2011 and beyond with so many players at the end of their contracts. Low risk/high reward.

But yeah, F* Gary Myers.

Yeah that 3.5 ypc in 98 and 14 yds in the Denver game smelled of competitive greatness.. Although the fumble in the first game in 99 that Vinny blew his Achilles on trying to recover was another great moment by the guy that loved to compile with a smile..:character0282:

That's what I find so hilarious about this articles, its like Myers didn't even read the quotes he was including. Myers' take is in complete contradiction to everything the anonymous GM is saying.

Looks like the Daily News changed the headline of the article from:

"New York Jets Rex Ryan has another bad boy to manage after drafting Kyle Wilson"

to

"New York Jets coach Rex Ryan adds plenty of swagger with Boise State CB Kyle Wilson"

Myers is still a douche

Don't forget to mention the Jets 6 turnovers in that 98 Championship Game compared to Denver's 0. But I'm sure in your little mind that had nothing to do with the game at all. Nope. :rolleyes:

We can take one bad game out of every players career and make them seem over-rated. Nice try hater.

good catch

what a dbag

when I saw the original headline, I thought wilson had an arresty history that hadn't been reported yet

I was amused to see thaty wilsons offense was having confidence

these media dbags can't wait to dog pile on rex and the jets, they want to keep the jets in the "same old jets" box and are really just too stupid to see that this isn't rich kotite and leon hess and steve gutman running the show anymore

When you have a 3.5 ypc average on a team that was less than half a football game from the superbowl, you are not the person who carries the team. That is the team carrying you. In order for Martin to get all those carries, and keep the defense off the field Keyshawn & Chrebet had to finish the season #1 and #2 in the NFL in 3rd-down receptions. Not to mention one of those turnovers was a Martin fumble, his second in as many playoff games that year. His fumble in the next game, opening day of 1999, ended the season.

The Jets went more pass-happy in that game than they needed to because Martin was so awful (13 yards on 12 carries; he can hardly be penalized for getting only 1 yard on a 1-yard TD carry). Those of us who were not 8 years old at the time remember pretty well how small he came up.

It wasn't one game; it was the friggin' AFC Championship game - our first one in 16 years - not some meaningless matchup in week 2. And it was hardly one isolated game taht season. Martin eclipsed the league average 4.0 ypc a whopping 4x all season. Two of those four games were against the Colts who were 30th in the league in ypc surrendered. But sure, it was just one game.

Is there a rehab or something that could help you to let this go, already? :lol:

It can't be healthy carrying this around all the time.
