He is dealing with a QB who turned over the ball 9 times in less than 3 games, 2 starts. Plus maybe he himself is not that good. It's hard to tell at this point, but things are so bad where you have to conclude that the QB sucks and the coaching sucks too. As a fan I want to tank, sure, but the big reason is to draft a QB and get rid of the coaches sooner than later. The team though is not intentionally tanking, they are just that bad.
As long as we can agree that the players never tank, then it comes down to the ownership and coaching staff putting the team in POSITION to tank. Sitting players, questionable playcalls (hello Giants, going for it on 4th and 6 from the Vikings 10 early in the game), etc. The players for the most part are always going to try their best (players who lose motivation aside, of course, but they don't "lose" on purpose), so the coaches have to roll the dice and hope it works out. Jacksonville did a great job of it after we screwed it up in 2020 by sitting half the team. But the players who played, played hard - lack of talent and preparation is hard to overcome. I surely hope the Jets are doing that, because if this is the staff we're gonna have going forward and these last few weeks have been their honest effort to win, then, to paraphrase the one and only Edward L. Norton - "boy, it sounds like YOU are in TROUBLE". Sent from my SM-X820 using Tapatalk
Losing teams usually have longer injury lists at the end of the year. With nothing to play for the good players will be cautious and heal up for next season. Those looking for a new team or a new contract will want to avoid further injury. You'll see a lot of no shows and limited playing time over the last two games for many NFL teams at the bottom of the league.
Any top ranked College QB has been terrified at the throught of being drafted by the Jets since 1959.
