He is the leader of the offense and he gives the OL some stability but the Jet's need to draft his replacement this year. Kendall and Fabini are gone and really won't be missed. Kendall got pushed around way to much and Fabini is a back-up at best. 2006 is probably going to be a tough year but I believe Mangini can turn this around so that the Jet's are a playoff team in 2007 . I think Jay Cutler is the Jet's starting QB the second half of the year.
I think Kev will be back too. He really didn't do anything to lose his job. He got hurt. The man never misses a game and was still very effictive before it happened. Maybe the following year but not next.
I hope he stays, he's crucial to our o-line, and I don't see the jets having any reason to cut him anyway.
