    The character issues are starting to concern me. Talent is there though.

    I don't think Winston's as bad of a cat as made out to be. He hasn't done much worse then what Big Ben did early in his career between the rape allegation and him riding a motorcycle as the starting QB. Sanchez has a rape allegation back at USC that got brushed aside and has found himself in some precarious spots too(Hanging out with a 17 year old girl) and we know he's pretty mature for the most part.

    Its good that these kids don't get crazy money anymore right off the bat. With Winston, he would spend like a nutjob and be like Vince Young but because its now a "Earn your pay" type of scale, it will keep him hungry. He just puts himself in terrible spots so I agree with you Deacon, he needs a tough love coach to get on his ass. Same with the players around him, he won't act up when he sees 280+ Lb defenders chewing his ass up.

    I'm staying away from both Winston and Mariota. I like Mariota's skill-set but he lacks a lot of the fundamentals you want in a QB [Taking snaps under center, reading defenses and going through progressions].

    I'm just so afraid of drafting a QB with a high first round pick. For every Andrew Luck there are 10 Ryan Leafs !

    It took Cowher 10 yrs with the Sqeelers to get his ring. You really think Jet fans have that much patience? Rex is only half way there.

    Cowher got to an SB(and lost) early on in his career. That plus a string of winning seasons bought him the time

    I actually looked at Cowher today because I like Rex and wanted to compare their careers.

    Cowher had 4 losing seasons in 15, and his worst stretch was 3 years without making the playoffs and one of those years was 9-7.

    I love Rex, but Cowher >Rex. It may be time for a change.

    Yup all of guys are going to regret saying ," Lets stay away from Mariotq after he becomes a stud in TB, St Louis, or TEN.

    It's the Jets way I guess.

    No shot. The Jags, Rams, Bucs, Titans, Oakland, and maybe the Vikings (depending on if Bridgewater can stay healthy) will be worse then us when it's all said and done. We'll get like the #7 overall pick my guess.

    So Cowher got one ring in 15 years? Rex has only been coaching for 5.

    It wont matter - whomever they pick will be wrong - just accept that this franchise is cursed and it all becomes a lot easier to accept.
    the talent Cowher had >>>>> talent on the Jets

    You've got the Titans and Vikings PLUS 6 division games...

    Our division is weak as hell.

    I'd put it at 0%.

    You don't really need the 1 this year. The Raiders and Jags won't go QB. But this team will win 3/4 useless games late in the season and will probably pick in the 6-10 range.

    All the delusional idiots in the beginning of the season that said 8, 9, 10 wins laughed when I said we were closer to the top pick. And we are...this team will be lucky to win 4 games. I say we get the third pick behind Oakland and J'ville
