I would love to get a QB...unfortunately there is an assortment of jet fans who will never be happy w/ our QB regardless of who it is and are too scared to take a risk on a franchise guy.
People want to maximize the Jets' probability of winning. If you can't fathom this sentiment, then you're in the wrong place. The goal of football is not to craft a plot worthy of Disney. It is to optimize your ability to win. I don't give a shit if it's home-grown, imported, descended from spaceships -- fuck. The goal is to fucking win. And to preempt the tards from saying I'm dismissing Clemens and Ratliff, I'm not. My only argument is that quarterbacks have been, are, and will be available that have higher probabilities of success.
This is one fucking million percent correct. Jets fans are terrified of risks, when the reality is that risk-taking is exactly how you gain an edge. I have no idea how Jets fans collectively turned into pathological pussies, but it's long past time that we eviscerate that fucking cocoon. Luckily, I actually do believe that Tanenbaum understands this.
I'm with you 100% on this one. Vick - NEVER!!! The whole team will just become a circus act with thousands of protesters at every game - just don't go there please!!!
I too feel this way. People think we have this huge void at QB. It is not like Rick Mire is back there, gees.
