You should just add an addendum to your signature. "Do you understand there is a price to pay".....just not much of one on my team" Rex Ryan
The quote was from 2009. If he said it just a few days ago..... wait he already did that. So twice he has owned up to knowing just about nothing that is going on with his team. Twice. Im a huge supporter of Rex. But this is ****'ed up. Again.
So you're a huge supporter, but you think he's a terrible coach? It's okay to offer criticism, Lord knows he's made mistakes. But to say he's a terrible coach is not true. Jim Zorn is a terrible coach.
Have fun with another one and done post season :up: ahahaha Steelers are going to destroy brady. ahahahaha :lol:
We'll see Last year the Jets were excessively praised This year, its kick 'em when they're down I think the Jets FO will take a few steps to right the ship Anyone would be very naive to think that (a) money doesn't talk (b) players won't play for Rex (c) a few well-made changes could make a big impact
Your confusing my support for Rex and the realization that he isnt ready or just flat out cant control the entire team.
A lot of players want to play for old belli boii. That was a great bed time story they had on the NFL network. Teach me how to spygate!
They do. Don't ask me, just read the quote by a universally respected guy like Brian Waters about his Patriot experience. He raved about the total experience, but pointed out the attention to detail, the professionalism, and how much people cared about winning from the ownership down to the guys handing out the towels. If you care about football. If you are willing to sublimate your ego to the team, if you are coachable, if you are accountable, and you don't need the last dollar in the bank, then the Pats are good spot for you. Its not for everyone, Not a good place if you need your ego stroked. Just compare the 2 teams. Brady gets his ass handed to him by the DC in public for acting like a jerk because he cares too much, while Rex STILL hasn't called out Santonio after quitting on his team in the middle of a game.....after being an asshat for half the season. Accountability is something that isn't important to the Jets organization except as lip service. But if you are a patriot player you see it all the time. Randy Moss wasn't above it. Albert Haynesworth wasn't above it, Brandon Merriweather wasn't above it. Ochocinco isn't above it. This isn't bragging (at least to some degree), its the way things are run, and as a fan I can be proud of it. And you would be too if the Jets were run that way Sorry JV, I missed the spygate comment- weeks ago I left a challenge out there for any Jet fan to explain how "spygate" was an unfair advantage for the Pats. I'm still waiting. Unless you have something intelligent to add, I'll take your "spygate' comment the same way I take all first grade "yo mamma's" NA NAH NA NAH In other words they are meaningless gestures spoke by those who have no other refuge to comment. You are far better off to reference last season's playoff game if you want to irritate me.
Your organization is a fraud. The New England Patriots got away with highway robbery. The Patriots were caught videotaping opponents Defensive coordinators so that they could identify exactly what plays opponents were executing. This helped the Patriots win 3 Super Bowl championships. The tapes were destroyed by our idiot Commissioner to prevent what would have been the most publicized sports story of the millennium. How old Belli Boii has a job is beyond comprehension. You guys sure are the, "class" of the NFL :up:
So, we're back to being a basic training base again for NFL HC's? Did we learn nothing from the Herm Edwards failure or the Al Groh failure or the Eric Mangini failure? Obviously not as we keep repeating the same things hoping for a different result.
You can't just step up to the podium and provide the entertainment that Rex does without a lot of work.........he doesn't have time for team meetings!
Ryan is a good defensive coach. I think the jury is very much still out whether he's a good head coach. There are definite warning signs. I don't think he should be fired yet, but I also don't subscribe to the "he got the Jets to two AFCCGs, he's a great coach!" line of thinking. Right now, my view is that he led two decent-to-solid teams that were aided by a little luck and then got hot at the right time. Plus one decent team that wasn't aided by luck and didn't even reach the playoffs. I don't think he's exhibited amazing results yet. I'm still willing to wait and see, though.
You obviously didn't watch the NFL network special on Belichik. Him and Brady sit in the office and go over game film all the time.
I guess this makes him a terrible coach, even though nobody here knows what actually goes on within an NFL franchise.
The other side of this is that the sports world has been waiting for something with the real whiff of failure out of Rex since he first opened his mouth three years ago. That he actually allowed things to get out of hand in the locker room has exposed him to even more piling on, but he would have been savaged no matter what. Think of him as the William Wallace of NFL coaches. Lots of shouting, paints himself blue, throws himself into the games wholeheartedly and is eventually going to get stretched out on a stone table and gutted like a trout. If he wins some more he'll postpone that day but like all but a few coaches he's destined to fall eventually and he's made a lot of enemies over the years with his mouth. Maybe this off-season is the time that he decides to take off the blue paint and put more of his time into building a really strong team than promoting one that is maybe above average but probably not much above. Or maybe he just throws on another coat of paint and goes out to try to decisively win the off-season attention battle again.
Ryan (and Tanenbaum, who has to be an integral part of it) will only succeed when he's able to build a team, rather than an image. Images wither unless serious success quickly validates them. We, and much of the media, thought that the Jets were embarking on that "serious success," but I think in the cold light of day, the Jets' performance since Ryan became coach doesn't look quite as shining.
I had the opportunity to ask a universally respected guy like Teddy Johnson what he thought about the Patriots experience. He said ". . . uugggmmmmm, sssshhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggaaaaarrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh. . . ."
That's not even close to the truth, but if it feeds your fantasy view, so it makes being a Jet fan more bearable I can't stop you.
