    I know, not Jets news really, but he is one player that I'll keep an eye on since I thought he could be pretty darn good from the limited action we saw him in. It would be funny though if he somehow takes over that team and Quiinn / Anderson become backups :)

    Both Ratliff and Clemens got screwed when Brett Fucking Favre showed up last year. Definitely stifled their progress, both of them.

    ...so he could backup Mark Sanchez and Kellen Clemens?

    I think Mangini knew better... I honestly think he wouldn't have taken Clemens over Ratliff.

    He'd likely beat out Clemens...

    I don't think so. Ratliff played against practice squad players and a lot of you guys had your green glasses on when looking at Brett Ratliff.

    He went undrafted for plenty of reasons.

    Clemens is much more talented, but he doesn't have a good head on his shoulders and I blame his mental woes on the Favre trade.

    I still find it funny that people are complaining that we traded a UDFA third stringer for a potential franchise signal caller. Seriously?

    Personally, I've been dying for some Vilma news.

    Hey, I have no faith in Clemens at this point. And you never know sometimes. Ratliff showed some flashes here and there... given a little time you never know what you will end up with.

    Neither would have played if Favre didn't show up. Pennington would have.

    Because where a player is drafted has a lot to do with it. You'd think that by now we'd stop labeling players with their draft status like if he's UDFA he's automatically garbage.

    Top 5 picks do become busts and UDFAs can turn out good from time to time. It would be typical Jets if ratliff went on to have a quality starting career while Sanchez busts.

    He's with the Browns, gentlemen.

    Let's put our thinking caps on please.

    No it wouldn't. Ratliff went from being a third stringer in New York to being a third string in Cleveland. He's backing up Quinn and Anderson...

    The guy's nothing better than a backup.
