At this moment it doesn't even matter if they're still the Jets, with Bowles' sketchy decisions, McDown at qb. I don't see the oline being drastically improved. Pass rush likely won't change. Maybe the secondary is better. But, I'm still fucking excited. We have a top 3 draft pick, that maybe can actually play. The past few years have been dogshit. White dogshit. Not even the slippery/dangerous kinda dogshit. Just old, petrified, almost fossil kinda dogshit. Might as well be a dirt bomb kinda dog shit. But this year, we actually have something to be excited about. Quincy is back, almost. Teddy. Of course Darnold. Hell, even Bates. Robby Andersen might actually not go to jail. Ya smell that? It's optimism. Blind, perhaps, but I'm willing to bet it'll be even better than the slippery and dangerous kinda dogshit. Not that exhausting, depressing feeling it's been, knowing the only reason you're watching is because it's your team. No possibility type of dogshit. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
The only way I could be more excited is if this fucking guy was our qb. 4 tds Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
To be honest, after all the BS last year with the kneeling (no politics) and us sucking as bad as we did and no prospect of ever having a true franchise QB--I've got a serious chub going. Most excited I've been for a season since after the Fitz miracle finish and before that after the 2010 season.
For real man. That was the last bit of optimism. 3 games in the following season were the very last time. It's gonna be a fun year Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
About as excited I've been since summer 2009 when Rex just got here in all his blustering glory and Sanchez was a rookie
It's definitely been a while. I have bonafide excitement about this year, and it has nothing to do with the record, ultimately. I was hoping it would be the year for Leggett too, but I guess he's not even practicing. I haven't seen why. Whatever. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Its different actually having something to look forward to for once. For me, the season starts when Darnold starts. Everything else is just filler.
i feel the same way that you do. this is the first time in years i am looking at this team and blinking my eyes, and trying to shake out of it. this feels like a team that can do something for a change. maybe i'm wrong. i hope i'm not.
I'm ready for 2018. I couldn't care less about our wins or loses. I'm just anxious to see a very young roster take the field alongside a rookie QB with Franchise savior type potential. Should be fun. But what I'm excited about most. Is 2019. This next draft class is loaded at two positions of weakness of ours; O-Line and Edge Rushers. Combined with the salary cap we'll have heading into next offseason (#1 I believe) and I'm already excited about just the thought. If Sam looks forreal as a rookie and our FO hits a home run throughout the offseason then next year I'll fully expect playoff noise. This upcoming season I'm just ready to see a young team come together and play to compete.
I don't see a reason we can't win a bunch and get better. Plus, I already predicted we'd make the playoffs this year.
Well last year we won more games than expected, with 5 wins, even after most paid experts (heading into 2017) painted a picture of an up-coming catastrophic year with plenty of 0-16 and 1-15 type predictions. So many people were wrong about the talent level of this young roster. And how competitive they could compete on Sunday's. I like to think we're an improved team too, with younger players who've became more intelligent due to playing time and experience from last season. So I can see us improving our overall record by 2-4 games with a potential of 7-9, 8-8 or 9-7. Possibly a 10-6 season with an outside chance of a wildcard push, only if everything were to play out with no key injuries to key players. But last year we exceeded expectations with a veteran QB. Nothing special about McCown but for the most part he played smart and more importantly kept a younger offense calm under pressure. With Darnold. If he exceeds rookie expectations I can picture that 9-7/10-6 type of team taking the next step but as a fan, if he's our opening day starter I fully expect a lot of mistakes, turnovers and growing pains along the way. He's young. Which is why wins and loses aren't a top priority of mine. I just want 2018 to be used as a big time building block into our very near future. I guess you can say individual player evaluation is my #1 focus.
This. Can't see any scenario where we make the playoffs, so seeing Darnold develop when he eventually gets in will be a lot of fun.
