Can't wait for Rex to be fired

1. what starting caliber qb did you want him to start last year when mark was going fetal?

it was very obvious that the talent level dropped from 2010 to 2011
Damien woody to wfh for example. 2012 was a disaster with injuries on both sides of the ball and aging vets in the lb corp on top of horrific qb play and the tebow drama hovering over the team yet rex had us in play off contention into December.

its not like he is barry switzer fucking up the dynast cowboy team. rex isn't a bad coach

 

You are just further proving my point.you'd rather fixate on the emotions associated with losing than recognize or support a plan being in place. You do realize that every single team in the nfl experiences losing & experiences disappointment.

You'd rather obsess over some false sense of accountability than allow any leader a chance to actually BE a leader & fix whats broken within their system.But what standard are you really setting for success if your always forcing turnover at tge first sign of asversity?Not a standard of winning or prudence thats for sure. You'd rather try to catch lightning in a bottle.Failure be damned

 

They were considered much more than just a very good team going into that Super Bowl. From 1964-1968 they had a record of 55-12-3, which was far better than the Packers' record over the same time period (46-21-4), and was in fact better than the record of the Packers from 1961-1966, which was when they were at their best (65-16-3). They ranked second in the NFL in scoring, and Earl Morrall was NFL MVP, so he was hardly a drain on the team (Unitas only led the team to more points once in his career than the Colts scored that year). Their defense was absolutely considered one of the best, if not the best, defenses in NFL history, giving up the fewest points in NFL history to that time.

They went into that game on a 10-game winning streak, having outscored the opposition an average of 27.4 - 7.0 over that time. Absolutely no one gave the Jets a prayer of winning. The victory by the Jets was by far the biggest upset in pro football history; nothing else is even close.

 

Yes the media tagged them as "greatest" team up to that date. The superlatives about them by the media were off the charts to be sure :sad:

 

U R not looking far enough into the future IMHO try to visualize what this team will be like in say 2016 with MS or GS at the controls. :sad:

 

Hmm where to start. Last year was our first losing season. Mark's 3rd season, the Jets went 8-8 partly due to his play falling off bigtime with many pointing to the Ravens game as the starter for the downfall. Now after this season is key, the GM extended Sanchez. Not Rex, not Schotty, not the WRs, OL, RB, etc, the GM extended Sanchez. All of sudden it wasn't just about Sanchez's play, it became the heavy cap hit and what the Jets had invested in him. It was best for them to try to make the investment work out.

Now because of this, the Jets tried hard, but Mark got into a funk last year (we won't argue about why, that's been relegated and went over numerous times already in another thread) and it was his worst season since his rookie year, probably worse than that in my opinion.

Now again because of that contract and lack of other QB options, again brought upon by the GM, the GM was let go. However when a GM leaves a team, his bad contracts still go on, hence cutting Sanchez would be a ridiculous move especially with Geno banged up, Garrard not making it to camp, and McElroy being the immediate starter.

Now the Jets did address problems on the offensive side, but there were so many, they had to go slowly. They added a QB to make it a real competition, they got a new OC who had an effective offense in PHI, they tried to add explosive players to the RB position, and didn't overspend on Keller. They also tried to get that OL shored up.

Now to Rex's comments, what do you want Rex to say? Everyone kills Rex for being brutally honest (for example, he didn't see the INT live). You really want Rex to come out and say "Mark sucks, but we don't have better options because the past GM gave Mark a terrible contract and left us with little option"? And to be honest, I don't think Rex has used that phrase since last year. The last person to use it according to google was Mangold in June, so yeah.

There are valid points to why Rex should be fired, but a lot of your points and many others points to the past GM who has already been fired.

 

In 2016 they'll have just won their 3rd straight SB and be looking to win 4 the next year.

 

Not disagreeing with the fact the Jets were huge underdogs, and nobody thought they'd win.

You can take all the regular season records try to make an argument that the Colts were somehow considered better than the Packers, but it's laughable. They weren't even the best team of their decade, much less ever!

The Packers won 5 NFL titles (1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967) and the first 2 SBs in the 60's. They played in 6 out of 10 championship games in the decade, losing in 1960 to the Eagles.

The Colts played in and won 1 NFL championship and lost to the Jets in the SB. Hardly the greatest team ever. There might be an old timers argument about the late 1950's Colts who won a couple of titles with a young Unitas, Ameche, and Raymond Berry.

 

LOL however buy gold now & U will at least be rewarded with a good return on your $$$$$ :sad:

 

The greatest team ever was up to the playing of SB3 not after :sad:

 

Hey! someone has to balance out all your sad faces. New GM and potentially new QB, time to get excited a little bit. But as you said the post before, imagine what the team will look like, I'm going to imagine positive images :grin:

 

3 seasons from now buying gold will bring this to your face :smile: whereas OTH 3 years from now the NYJs will only bring more of this to your face :sad:

 

That's sports though, you go through the tough times to hopefully celebrate the good times. That's why we are called fanatics.

 

Yeah I have been going thru "rebuilding" now for 44 years with no relief in sight for this year or the next few upcoming years. All I am saying is if you want to bring a smile to your face buy gold over the NYJs at least for the next 3 years or so. I also totally disagree with being a fanatic you can be a fan & think logically as well which is what I have been doing for the last years now & counting :sad:

Here is a link http://www.goldprice.org/ & FYI in very early July it was hovering around 1.2K per ounce. It is now 1.4K per oz. That means if U bought back them you already made a profit of $200.00 per oz in only 50 odd days. That is something to be fanatical about & bring many :smile:s to my face whereas the NYJs will only bring :sad:ness sorry to say
:sad:

 

None of this has anything to do with what I said. The 1968 Colts team was absolutely considered by the media at the time to be one of the best teams in NFL history - that is simply a fact, and anyone who was around at the time will confirm it. They were absolutely positively considered at the time to be better than the Packers teams that had won the two previous Super Bowls - that is precisely why they were much bigger favorites than either of those Packer teams were. You can consider it laughable if you want, but that only makes you incorrect, and doesn't change what are actually the facts.

Was the franchise as successful over a long period of time as the Packer franchise? Of course not, and I never suggested that the Colts franchise was considered the best of the 1960s - what I said was that the 1968 team was considered one of the best in history at the time. Are they considered now one of the best teams in history? Of course not - they lost the game. If they had won the game the way they were expected to, they would be considered one of the best teams in history, and the franchise would be also be viewed differently, since that would have meant that they had won 2 out of 3 Super Bowls (numbers 3 and 5).

 

Many in the media in 1968 labelled the 68 Colts the best team ever. However that was not unanimous obviously. They were a great team that played incredible defense and they were one of the most dominant teams ever. 13 -1 and they routinely crushed their opponents w/lop sided victories. Earl Morrall had an amazing NFL MVP season. That entire team had all pro players on both sides of the ball and at all levels of the defense and offense. They led the league in defense ppg and were 2d in offense ppg.

when you look at that Colts team and how dominant they were that season its still kind of amazing to think that the NYJ managed to beat them. So yes the '68 Colts were considered by many to be the best team ever...and they were a very damn good football team despite losing SBIII.

 

Sanchez has 2 pics in 2 games, one pic for 6 points and one pic in Redzone costing the team points..and that ridiculous end of half play where he cost the team 3 points,,,If Smith plays good tonight, doesn't turn ball over and scores some points he should be starter..All Sanchez has proved is he is still the same sorry Sanchez as last year.

 

Why are you posting this in the Fire Rex thread??

 

He's posted that same exact thing in 5 different threads now. Someone's desperate.
