woody has nothing to do with anything other than the jets. that is why he hasnt fucked those up. hopefully he realizes this and gets as far away from everything jets related as he can.
Oh yeah, Revi$ will talk him into it. Haha. He'll teach him exactly how to milk the system and get a big contract. I really hope he comes back as well. Our secondary would be unstoppable with all of them in. Kyle Wilson got valuable time on the outside and improved his game. Maybe Wilson will end up being trade bait now that his value has increased. If not he could probably play FS. Wilson Landry Cro Revis in the backfield together would be cool. Bell definitely held his own this year as well.
I love how the fans are responsible for Gholston, Sanchez, Keller, Green, Ducasse, Holmes extension, Sanchez extension, 3 draft picks, 4 draft picks, and 2 failed SB attempts after the Jets tried to model their team with a "win now" mentality disregarding any salary cap implications like a baseball team..... If you adopt a strategy, you live and die by that strategy. If your strategy fails, you don't get a mulligan. You take your experience as a lesson and if you get another job, you try another strategy. That is why Tannenbaum is going to be fired not because of the fans but because his strategy failed. He's not a bad person for this. Actually, in my opinion, he was thinking outside of the box in terms of conventional NFL wisdom, but the experiment just didn't work out. Edit: Now that I am typing this, it's clear to me that Rex should be released as well. The ground and pound offense is archaic in the NFL now. You need a prolific passing offense to win as the passing rules favor the QB and receivers heavily. If you are going to go against the trend in the NFL you better do what you do exceptionally well. Rex has no concept of offense whatsoever and his defense without QB pressure is underwhelming. If Rex is going to continue with the ground and pound, his defense needs to get him 7 sacks a game and at least 15 hurries.
If Woody wants to broaden his search to all qualified applicants he has to understand that he may be cleaning house completely. If he is insistent on Rex staying on then he is limiting his candidate pool. He shrinks it even more if Tannenbaum is going to stay on in any sort of capacity.
^ Woody is a pussy. The new GM will be responsible for firing people. Rex will get his wish, Woody will be committed to focusing on offense and consequently Rex will be fired because he knows shit about offense.
well it will be interesting to see if MT gets some interest from other teams. he does work the cap well at times and now people can't say he doesn't have any personnel experience. ho hum - the merry-go-round continues for this club. if i was the owner - i would do my best to stay away from clinkscales or any other individual that took part in the rosters over the years.
If I was the owner I'd stay away from anybody who had personal history with the Jets or the AFC East. I'd go find somebody who was a complete breath of fresh air for the franchise and I'd let him do the re-staffing required. What Woody probably wants the most right now is to get rid of the circus atmosphere surrounding the Jets. It's that smell of sensationalism verging on ridiculousness that is most damaging to the Jets long-term brand at this point.
You got that right. Every story on the jets from ol' butt fumble and his guaranteed $8m next year to the Tebow circus makes the jets the laughing stock of the league right now. Get rid of the circus by getting rid of the ringmasters--Rex ("Mark gives us the best chance to win") and Tanny.
I will miss Tanny, and his hyper-aggressive action in free agency and the draft. It was always fun in the off season with him here, because you never knew what the Jets were going to do next. He ran the off-season like a 15 year old playing madden on a sugar high. Sign Farve? Hell yeah. Woody, you want Tebow? Why not. Hey lets trade for Holmes! Nothing seemed impossible as far as trades with Tanny. The cap was a myth that would be overcome every year by a bit of accounting magic. That is up until we had to think about life after Sanchez. Tanny's time as GM all comes back to bad luck at the QB position. If he had gotten one more year (or a healthy year) out of Favre the Jets would have likely made a playoff run. After that it was Sanchez. T-Rex blew the Mark Sanchez pick. If the Jets had a mediocre QB, would we even be talking about firing anyone in the front office? Here are the middle of the pack guys in QB rating with their yardage then TD/Int: Philip Rivers 3,455 24/15 Carson Palmer 4,018 22/14 Eli Manning 3,740 21/15 and here is Sanchez: Mark Sanchez 2,678 13/17 Does anyone believe that if Rex had gotten another 1000-1500 yards, 10 more TDs and 3-4 less picks out of his QB that we wouldn't be still playing for a playoff berth? And that is what sucks about Sanchez. He was a mistake four years ago, and due to the old silly rookie contracts, and some bad decisions by Tanny, he's going to sink the whole ship. He makes Tanny look bad, despite a lot of smooth moves that were pulled off. Are there other problems? Sure. But the main one is the Quarterback sucks in a Quarterback first league.
I dont think I'd call Eli a middle of the road QB. Yes he's turning out a shitty year this year and is middle of the road in stats. Sanchez goes as his confidence goes. He's like a supersticious kicker. Get him flustered a little and forget it. He cant pick himself back up and move on after a bad series, or bad week or bad two weeks ect... like Favre, Peyton, Brees ect can do.
I think Eli is above average as well. But his stats this year were average, and that was the point. If you take the 17th QB's stats, and plug them into the Jets, odds are we're not talking about anyone getting fired. Football is a team game, but it's funny nowadays just how bad missing on a franchise QB can be.
The 49ers might have a low risk offense based on running the ball, but the passes they do make have a high completion percentage (66.8%, 3rd best in the league) typically for a significant gain in yardage (they avg 8 yards per gain, 2nd best in the league). Other teams to have success running more than passing - Redskins and Seahawks for instance, have similar numbers. Comparatively, the Jets, with a similar run/pass split to the 49ers, have completed 55.7% of their passes (28th in the league) and average 6.5 yards per gain - 26th in the league. This isn't the old days when you could win via a ground and pound slugfest; most elite teams right now have elite passing games, the few that do not who follow the defense first, ground and pound model a lot of you think the Jets should stick with still have extremely efficient passing games capable of big gains regularly.
You're looking at things in a vacuum though. If any of those QB's had played on the Jets this year their numbers would be worse, maybe much worse. What you're really asking is "if the Jets defense was paired up with a good offense what would have happened?" Sanchez wasn't the only thing wrong with the Jets offense by a longshot.
i hate that statement. you put any QB under center for the jets and they'd be more capable than sanchez and its not even debatable. ryan tannehill doesn't have shit, yet he seems more capable than sanchez
