While I would like to see Sanchez stay with the Jets it's interesting to see the odds makers giving Peyton's best shot at the superbowl with the Jets. It will be exciting to see how this thing plays out.
I am skeptical of Manning coming to the Jets since I don't think they have much cap space. But Woody did say Holmes is coming back and that he would not say he's not interested in Manning. Well, one way to resolve the conflict between Holmes and Sanchez is to bring in Manning.
Provided the RT problem is solved somehow, adding Manning solves 1. WR problem, 2. Dustin Keller problem and lastly 3. RB problem. If Manning is calling the shot, obviously that means Shonn Greene is taking backseat, only to be used in short yardage situation. Main feature back role will go to McKnight, who can run as a slasher and then work as a receiver off the back field. Also, Dustin Keller can play his Dallas Clark impersonation much better with Manning throwing the ball to him. His abysmal blocking is not going to be an issue as it was past few seasons. And lastly, Manning will make something out of Patrick Turner. If the receiver has right physical dimension with speed and awareness, Manning will make a receiver out of him. (example: Garcon, Collie, Tamme, etc etc.) Of course, that flies straight in the face of Ground-and-Pound philosophy, along with why Sparano was employed in the first place. This is just NOT happening.
Yeah this Sanchez-Holmes feud cant go on any longer if they are to co-exist. IDC what Rex or Woody or Tanny says, they have their eyes on Peyton.
If Peyton comes to the Jets his $28 million payday is null and void. I think he's more interested in a shot to win the superbowl that an absurd contract. The Jets would no doubt have to be generous though.
More importantly, he's one hit away from missing the rest of his career. Well, that can be said about anyone, but he's a lot closer with that bum neck.
That payday is only relevant if the Colts decide to keep him or if they trade him. No one is taking on that contract, so they either keep him (unlikely) or he gets released before the trigger. Then, he becomes a free agent.
Good thing the vegas odds makers are morons. I can't count the amount of times the mediocre Jets were 7+ point favorites, when they barely won their games. The Jets are NOT getting manning. It's a pipe dream like Nmandi was last off season.
When we signed Sparano we ruled out getting Manning . He is not the OC you'd hire if you had your eyes on a passing offense. We are sticking with Mark, the ground and pound, and improving this team in areas of need. Deal with it people. Jump off Mannings dick.
I read an analysis earlier this week that suggests the Jets might not have much more than $5 mil available for a deal like that, but I don't claim to know if it is accurate. Got it over at jetsblog, fwiw. Imo, Manning will want more than that.
I really don't see any way in the world they could bring in Manning and keep Sanchez but that is what Johnson seemed to be saying. Maybe they can make him a long term coach and pay him in retirement...haha.
They have nothing to do with each other. The Jets HAD to plan to go forward with their team, and hire the best coach for the players we have right now. Peyton was (and still is) under contract with the Colts. There is no guarantee that he will be a free agent, and no guarantee that he would end up here if he does become a free agent. Seriously if Peyton becomes a FA in March and is interested in coming here do you honestly think were gonna say sorry no thanks we have Tony Fucking Sporano we dont want you. Worst case scenario we would go out and bring in another offensive mind to help cater to Peytons strengths. Not to mention a strong ground game sounds like a pretty damn smart way to keep a guy coming off neck fusion the fuck surgery healthy. Just because Peytons coming here doesnt mean we need to pass the ball 50 times a game, wed be getting Peyton not the Colts defense. If Peyton passes 25-30 times a game he could maybe play another 4-5 years instead of 2-3, so all this is worth keeping in mind And food for thought, Peytons 2 best seasons he had under 500 pass attempts, his worst seasons he had alot more than that
Obviously you didn't look Sparano's resume hard enough. He does have experience with spread offenses and wide-open passing attacks, even though they came in his college coaching days. He was very successful at that in fact - his New Haven Chargers led the entire division (I think it was Div II anyway) with 42.8 pts a game at one point.
When you have your eyes set on a player thats availability becomes clearer and clearer everyday and you feel as though Sanchez isnt the answer at QB, you gear up to set up as well of a facility and environment for a QB like Manning. You bring in a coordinator to setup the passing game and change the style of your team completely. I'm sure if Tanny had his mindset on a player he wouldnt just say oh well hes signed with a team, Peyton is available whether you like it or not, and if he had true interest in getting him he'd go all out or at least set up this team for his leisure once he is in. Now obviously if we had an interest Sparano wouldnt be the whole reason we would or wouldn't get him, but hiring a guy like Sparano sets up your team to be a running based offense and its more of a sign that we are sticking with our squad then setting up for a big overhaul. And obviously we dont have to pass with Manning all the time but when you bring him in the offense is solely based around him and the run becomes separate, having Sparano as the coordinator would be counter productive to a change of this team. Its not like wed stick with "ground and pound" while having Manning at QB.
Seriously? Cmon with that. EVERYONE knows that Sparano is a running based offensive play caller, he is a Rex kind of guy. Control the clock, run the ball, and play hard nosed defense. Its not like he has a track record of coaching big time QBs, he has his own play style that he prefers, and thats running. Dont tell me that hes a pass oriented guy because he lead the "New Haven Chargers" to a solid passing attack in college....
