There was a time not too long ago that Becton wasn't as good as our rookie. All he needed was to get coached up. I would imagine that goes for Mitchell too. Keith Carter has to go along with the entire CS to a man.
I have no doubt that Carter, along with the rest of the coaching staff, will be gone, but whoever they bring in next will be just as bad, maybe worse. This only gets fixed by the next incompetent GM just stumbling into players who are good enough to overcome terrible coaching.
Good point. But yeah just the whole series of events over the past 2 years is beyond just consistently sucking on the football field.
I feel ya brother, I really do... I'm not really sure what to say or do. As most of you know, I've profanely...VERY PROFANELY voiced my opinion in different threads, and it wasn't good. I'm not sure there is a whole lot left to be said. The "Captain of the ship" is a clueless dipshit and that's not going to change. We've now gotten a good look at his equally dip shit child and that, my football friends, is the nail in the coffin. The long term prospects of this organization fall somewhere between getting hit by lightning AND hitting the $1 Billion lottery. I've toyed with dropping the team and I know that's never going to happen. I'll always keep an "eye" on the green. Which is what I'll do going forward. Just keeping an eye. No investment of any real time....just kind of sit back and document the clown show.
Interesting point on Carter…for Becton’s rookie year (his best year for us), didn’t we have a different OL coach? I can’t remember for sure, but I thought Carter came in for Becton’s 2nd year Could be wrong though
I don’t know but it seems like everybody those guys pick suddenly turns immortal. I’d rather not take the chance.
It's definitely possible. Sad thing is, we're probably looking at a 7-10 year timespan before this team is ready to do anything beyond competing for an 8-9 win season.
At this point I PRAY for a 6 or 7 year span. Reality dictates this team might be on in to the mid 2040's before it's ready. Almost assuredly more than a decade. It's a damn tragedy.
it took the Lions 2 years to go from 3 wins to just losing the NFC Championship game so it can be quick - the main difference is there was a quality QB on the roster to build around and unfortunately that is the cornerstone piece that the Jets haven't go right in the last 40 odd years.
You got that right! They have NEVER drafted what one would consider a top shelf QB and they never will. It just doesn't fit in the DNA. Hell, the NY Media will have the kid destroyed before year 3 anyhow so why bother... Besides, in this draft, there isn't a single QB WORTHY of a 1st round grade. I don't give a shit who says what. So, "X" QB does not need to be drafted by this team. Besides, there won't be a coach qualified enough to develop them so, yet again, why waste the draft pick. May as well go all defense and bludgeon people to death on the road to trying to win games 6 - 3...
This organization has been an unmitigated disaster for the better part of 3 decades - it starts from ownership down. The Clown Show that owns it is an asshat of epic proportions and has no idea how to run an NFL team, but thinks he does. I wish him infinite crotch rot and cancer of the asshole... We deserve better...
On paper we had one of the best rosters we've had in a decade. Still they somehow managed to be one of the boringest teams to watch. What a sh!t show. Don't bring Rodgers back.
Tell ya though, whoever we get for a HC, would be wise in trying to pry Bill Callahan away from the Titans... one of the best OL coaches the game has ever seen
Good luck with that. Bill's there to support his boy. I don't see Callahan coming here but it's a damn good thought!
