If AR were willing to restructure and reduce his comp, and that would perhaps be enough to get Adams to do the same, I’d be all for it. Invest almost every draft pick into OL and DL…we need help up front on both lines, especially at DT and probably DE as JJ may not be the same next year after injury…but I wouldn’t mind if our first 4 picks were OT, OG, DT, DE in whatever order makes sense based on who’s on the board, and then run it back with AR, GW, DA, Hall/Allen/Davis…I think with a real coaching staff, that can be a playoff team. We’ll see…who knows what AR will do, that will be the first domino.
And our D can not stop any lead, particularly in the 4th quarter. They are simply atrocious. Our running game completely cratered and is massively inefficient, but here we are, we had six games in which we held a lead late in the fourth quarter and gave it up with idiotic penalties and piss poor defense. And apparently all of that is a reflection on AR…..such BS. We are suffering first and foremost from massively inept coaching, made significantly worse after they fired Saleh. AR has not been great by a long shot, but far and away the least of our problem. If you think another vet will do better under these circumstances…..well we better think again.
I would add, first and foremost completely over haul our OC staff from top to bottom, and then the DC staff. Hope we get a HC that fully embraces that.
This year - sure, who cares. But we did lose a lot of close games, which with a worse QB we are losing by more and no one cases. But next year though these extra points on offense could be a difference between wins and losses. I would not want to get some vet who is worse than Rodgers. Either Rodgers or someone similar or better. But ideally I do not want to downgrade to Tyrod or Winston.
Are you looking towards next season as a playoff contending one for the Jets? If so, you may be the only one out there. It will be a time for the franchise to begin to regroup behind a new administration and coaching staff with an eye on the future. It would be a terrible time to delay that for another year while the shell of a former quarterback gets older, slower and less accurate than he has been for three years. The time will be ripe to lock in those few players not easy to replace and slash the collective salaries of the team to save cap space for the following year.
