Maybe MM too, but the first statement is accurate. If you want Geno to play to his potential you need to treat him like the man, and run an uptempo mostly spread balanced offense.
I agree with the sentiment however there is also the possibility that the Jets should be in a run heavy offense designed to minimize Geno's chances to make mistakes and eat up as much clock as possible in the process. There's a difference between running a lot of plays and eating up the clock. In the first case you are explicitly exposing your young QB to many more opportunities to make mistakes. In the second case you are grinding the game down and letting him prove that he can efficiently minimize his errors, as he will have to in a grind-it-out scenario, and also giving him a long look at how you control the game state against a drawn-in defense. That's playoff football in a nutshell. The Steelers chose to button it up for Roethlisberger and won 2 titles. The Giants chose to let Eli hang out all over the place and won 2 titles. The Steelers won quicker though and were better over a long period of time.
Did you also watch their OL performance and the talent at WR. IMHO the strike to Kerley for a touch down in crunch time was picture perfect, with no Decker and no other WR worth a damn. Had the time out not beign called we most probably be kissing his ass after a 2 and 0 start. What I see week in and week out is WR across the league making circus catches and making their QBs look good. For the Jets, that is far from the case.
