    The Jet fan base is crumbling lmao

    Calm down guys, if this was done towards the back end we would all be fine with it, Mac is just keeping in house guys first.

    An underwhelming start to Free Agency is not what we wanted, I get that. But it's not like we can force some guys to come here. Wait til after the draft to panic.

    Bilal is a good #3, hopefully he was paid accordingly. Whether we sign him or draft him we need a better back.

    I'm not sure what some of you are upset about.. The jets will draft a speedy running back, deep,RB draft. Resigning Powell goes more to the idea that the jets will over pay revis, which so many of you are clamoring for. Powell is a solid player that won't break the bank. He does a little bit of everything. Yrs, nothing exceptional but you need role players on your teAm. I think it's a good signing and most likely inexpensive. Will all the hate subside if the jets sign revis? So far I'm thrilled with what there doing.. Marshall, carpenter, now they will swing for revis.. Let's see what happens.. Please stop with any comparison to idzik. It's insane.

    <sigh>

    Regime talk already and their first F/A period hasn't even started yet. Boy, we as Jets fans, really have to get our collective shit together or we as fans need to be fired. I mean, seriously, have we accomplished anything we've set out to do as Jets fans?? LOL!!!!! (couldn't help myself) o_O

    Bingo. The guy flipping out over a potential depth signing at G is telling people to calm down.

    Yep, Daryl Richardson. Plus we will likely be taking a back in the draft. This is good.

    Let me correct you there a little. Free Agency HASN'T started yet. We haven't "underwhelmed" anything...yet...

    I don't panic, I have only stated facts. We signed a Pretty bad guard and some people are trting to to dress it up as if he's good just because he's in a position of need. This Bilal Powell signing isnt shocking but hopefully it was a take it or leave it deal.

    Youre right, lets contact Franklin and Iupati again, and Kareem Jackson, and Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Maclin because theyre still available right? It doesnt have to be 4pm for Free Agency to already have started

    Yea and I wasn't even taking about the Carpenter stuff, look in the Shopping List thread and the Offseason one, that guy is all over it screaming at the sky like a mad person, It's suspect that he is now trying to pretend to calm people down LOL

    Probably a fake account but whatever

    Same guys that aren't excited about Powell are probably the ones who were cursing the Jets for letting Woodhead go, and he's nowhere near as good as Powell.

    It's a one year deal holding onto one of the more respected guys in the locker room, who has a skillset as a 3rd down RB that you absolutely have to have.

    Yeah bullcrap, I have seen your stuff since yesterday, you have been making panic posts like crazy and barely half of it was actually trying to make a rational minded post, all anybody has to do is click on your profile and look at your posting to realize how fake you sound right now

    Powell is a very solid back, who is very underrated, and wasn't used properly in the Rex Ryan era.

    This was a good move by the Jets. The guy can do anything you ask him to do, he can run inside and outside, he is a great pass blocker for a RB, and he is a threat in the pass game.

    Love the resign.

    People acting like this is a bad move don't pay very much attention to Powell and are likely just upset we won't be going after Spiller. It doesn't matter though, reports were indicating we weren't interested in him anyway.

    I'm happy with this move. Without a doubt.
