Well, they may not, but imo they're going to have to find it somewhere. We didn't get into this mess in just one year, and we're not getting out of it in one year. What are the alternatives? Being negative, cynical, and quitting on the team right when things are turning around, just when things can finally start getting interesting and fun? Hiring airplanes and renting billboards and running off both the best GM we've had in a long time, if not ever, and potentially the best CS (overall) that we've had since Parcells, and maybe one of the best ever? As you pointed out so well, we could be starting a slew of rookies and we could also be starting several 1st year players. We will be one of the youngest teams, if not THE youngest team in the NFL. We all know that rookies and young players play with a lot of energy. They make some mistakes, but they also make some wow plays. We have a dynamic, charismatic HC who is full of energy, and is a great coach. There will be some adjustment as the offense learns the new system, but it is a much better and more friendly system than the crap we've been running for the last 3-4 years, and if LaFleur is anything like his brother, the offense should be exciting and put up more points than we have in a long time. There will also be some adjustments on defense, but we will have more talent, more speed and more playmaking ability than we've had in maybe 40 years. We should have the first honest-to-God pass rush we've had since the days of Sean Ellis and Jon Abraham. If anyone can't get excited and hopeful about Q. Williams, Lawson, Curry, Rankins, JFM and Huff getting after opposing QBs, then I think someone needs to check their pulse, because they may be dead already. Some of the young players may not develop or pan out, and with others it may take half the season or the whole season, but we legitimately have reason for the first time since Rex was hired to be genuinely excited and hopeful. I am still in a state of shock that JD has been able to assemble as much talent as he has already and how perfectly things fell for us in the draft this year and FA. I don't care about the media hype. I'm excited because of all the positivity and energy around the Jets, because we seemingly have at a bare minimum a competent professional GM running the show, and he appears to have hired the perfect HC, and he in turn assembled a very good, if not great staff. If it all goes to shit, it all goes to shit, and all the worrying in the world won't prevent it. I'm going to enjoy it while I can. Those who refuse to get excited may stay "safe" in the long run, but they'll miss out on a lot of the fun, and may wind up kicking themselves in the rear in a year or two for being so stubborn, cynical and pessimistic and for missing out on the fun the rest of us have had.
I agree. RB: Najee Harris. 1st Rd. WR: Jaylen Waddle. 1st Rd. WR: De'Vonta Smith. 1st Rd. OL: Alex Leatherwood. 1st Rd. OL: Landon Dickerson. 2nd round. OL: Evan Neal (2022 guaranteed 1st Rd). WR; John Metchie III (2022 guaranteed 1st Rd). Which is probably why ever since dating back to Bart Starr/Joe Namath just about every Alabama NFL QB has absolutely sucked ass; because they can not adjust to an 'even playing field' once leaving Bama'. Compared to... BYU. OL: Brady Christensen. 3rd round. WR: Dax Milne. 7th round. It'll be hard for anyone to convince me, that these two guys (above) "made" Zach Wilson. Heck, dating back to 1938, Zach Wilson is one of only 6 BYU Offensive players who've (ever) been drafted during the 1st round... He's one of only 6, All-Time? Freak. It feels like Alabama/Ohio State/Clemson produces at least 5-6 1st round players damn near every year.
LOL @Jets81 EXACTLY haha....by the time the season starts he will be even "teenier-tinier" than he is now. On a serious note, your post was actually quite amusing, lol. Well-done.
Yeah, I mean I was shocked when patleahy said 5'8" and 160 lbs. I had heard that he was only 5' and 125 lbs soaking wet.
That kid is pretty special believe it or not faster 40 than both Vick and Jackson 4.31 speed demon, with an arm, who can scramble and run for his life and then hail marry a 60-70 yards bomb on the run towards the sidelines and into the end zone vs Buffalo with 0:00 seconds left to DeAndre Hopkins for a walk off HR. So much fun to watch backyard sandlot style of play with a gun slingers mentality and not afraid to let it rip or turn on the Jets dual threat to a T.
Remove the custome orthotics and were at 5’7. I also heard they measured to the highest spike in his hair. Dude might actually be 5’5.
