As much as I like Rex he won't last long if we have another season that doesn't make it to the playoffs. How long has it been since we hosted a playoff game at home? It's a, "win-now" league. Anything less is failure. Still, biggest mistake of the Tanny era was the money given to Holmes. Cotchery was a better member of the Jets than Holmes has ever been. That money should have been used to secure Revis and fix o-line or bring in feature back. Our talent evaluating on offense has been pretty garbage.
no, it is a win-now league for dipshit fans who don't understand what it takes to actually win, never-the-less win now. if it was so easy to simply put together a Super Bowl winning team overnight that wins every year with no down seasons, everybody would do it. the fact that very few teams are able to reveals that isn't so, and organizations that are able to understand that to build a winner that culminates with a championship you may have to endure a few hick-ups along the way, are able to identify that their coaching staff is the right one and keeps them in place. only dumb fuck fans think that the hick-ups, despite previous success, indicate that a coach has somehow lost his ability to coach. Sean Payton went 10-6 his first season with New Orleans and made the NFCCG. not much different than Rex did in his first season. the next two seasons the Saints went 7-9 and 8-8. did he forget how to coach those two seasons and then miraculously rediscover how to? the Saints didn't fire Payton, you know why? because they aren't fucking stupid and spout dumb cliches like "it's a win-now league." if it was Payton would have been fired. but the Saints understood that the 10-6 season revealed the team and coaches ability, and they just had to put the right team on the field to take that next step. and they have. two 13-3 seasons, an 11-5 season and a Super Bowl championship, all of which wouldn't have occurred if it truly was a win-now league that completely ignores past accomplishments that are still relatively recent and thus should be considered not ignored. I shouldn't even have to mention the Giants.
None of these other coaches ever lost control of their locker room. Rex has a big mouth, and is a different personality then those other coaches.
Oh I see. So if you talk about something it totally changes what actually happened. Gotcha. Troll. SOJ "fans" are really disturbing the way they religiously attack the Jets. No, it wasn't Rex's great defense that beat the Colts, and effectively shut down Peyton Manning. We got lucky. I love the logic. Ah well it makes it much easier to learn who to ignore. The circus is most definitely is in town, and it's not the Tebowers.
apparently I do have to mention the Giants for the thinking impaired. it is widely known that Coughlin lost the Giants locker room in 2006, which is why he changed his style in 2007. what has he accomplished since then? that is why, as the saying goes, you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. beyond that, unless the issues that plagued the Jets locker room continue it is a non-issue. for your argument to have any merit you will have to show that it is a problem that cannot be corrected under Rex. you can't do that, which makes it just another dumb fuck fan cliche that is spouted because you have no real criticism.
I don't think coughlin lost the locker room. Rex would need a very strong genius OC to win a SB. Instead, he has schitthead and now Tony Sparono, enough said
Love is Love and Rex not fade away Love is Love and Rex not fade away Love is Love and Rex not fade away Love is Love and Rex not fade away
:lol: It was a mediocre / average season. Only retards think that Rex jokingly predicting a superbowl last year when asked about it is what led to our demise. I guess you don't watch the games, you just read espn and think you're an expert. Rex is the best coach we've had in a while. Recognize this fact or sit a on drill.
bobby massie is a back up on what is probably the worst o-line group in the entire league keller can easily be franchised, he only walks if the jets no longer want his services
Who said anything about Rex's prediction leading to our demise?? You should learn to read before criticizing someone's grammar, k sport? Sorry, when you boast, not kiddingly about how great we are, and say how WE are the only one who can beat the Pats, and we need other teams to beat the Pats as well, and that this is the year we are going to go all the way, you better deliver on it, not shit the bed as Rex did. When you have the type of problems the Jets did in the locker room and on the field at the end of the year, that is not mediocre or average, that is BAD. It is not only bad for the season, but it is something that needs to be corrected INSTANTLY, or it grows and festers into something uncontrollable. If Rex fixes it, I will applaud him and support him. BUT, I have seen nothing to make me think anything is going to get fixed. He insisted on getting Sparano in here who is not known as an offensive genius. He insisted on beefing up the defense, while ignoring the offense in the offseason, while the defense was already pretty good, and the offense SUCKED, and had glaring holes. Sorry, I don't get any optomism for Rex right now. I hope I am wrong, because I believe in stability, but I don't believe in him, I think he is a good defensive guy, bad HC, just like his pops. And I hate the idea of trying to win big with a dominating defense and a ground and pound offense in this day and age. It's like swimming up hill. The league is not setup for that anymore.
No we can't ignore that fact but we also can't ignore the fact that the talent on offense is weak and the Jets might have been better off propping that side given that reality. I actually kind of liked the Coples pick after it was made, although I didn't like him at all before that. I did enough close looking after the fact to realize that his rep in college was largely undeserved and the Jets probably had gotten real value with a top 12 guy on the 16. I liked the fact that the Jets were solidifying the defense into a real force to be reckoned with. It never occurred to me that the Jets were going to ignore the Wayne Hunter problem in the aftermath of that decision until Hunter had conclusively proven what 95% of us could see plainly last year: he sucks. If I had known that the Jets were going to be wearing blinders on RT until the last possible moment I'd have been a lot more critical of the Coples pick, because there were some pretty good tackle prospects still on the board at that point and tackle was not just a need it was a crying need. Trading down and grabbing a first round tackle would have been a much better decision than taking Coples IF the Jets were subsequently planning to hide under a pile of coats in the corner while Wayne Hunter got Mark Sanchez hit hard a few more times.
09: sanchez, green, slauson - 3/3 picks for offense 10: vlad, mcknight, powell, conner - 4/5 picks for offense 11: powell, kerley, mcelroy, mcknight - 4/6 picks for offense 12: hill, ganaway, griffin, white - 4/8 pick for offense or maybe they stick to their draft board and draft who they feel is the BPA tanny has never been a scout until clinkscales left a few months ago, tanny used the same scouts since he got his job ... when they were hitting in he was the man, now all of a sudden he doesnt know what hes doing
Um, you did. "When u predict a SB, start 8-5, lose the locker room, to finish a putrid 8-8, yes, it's a bad year." LOL. Please provide me the exact full quote in context of Rex predicting the superbowl. The reporter said something like, 'You predicted a superbowl last year and it didn't work out. Are you going to do it again?' Rex laughed and said "sure why not". If that to you is bragging and boasting then I don't know what to tell you. 8-8 being a few plays shy of the playoffs is not BAD. It's mediocre, regardless of the media drama and your petty emotional garbage. The fact that everything that could go wrong, did go wrong last year, shows that it wasn't BAD. We didn't go 4-12, we were average despite multiple issues. This is why SOJFs have no credibility. You are blinded by your own spite. You can dance around the the fact that 8-8 = average and the fact that Rex has one of the best winning percentages we've ever had from a Jets head coach, #1 in Jets playoff history, among others. He clearly is not the issue. I doubt that. You'll instead ignore Rex and find something else to whine about.
I am so sick of you morons and the SOJF BS. It's stupid. When the Jets do something right, I am the first to note it, when they do something shit, I am the first to note it as well. Like it or not, the direction the Jets are in now is a FKNG mess. The offense is going to suck this year. The defense will be good, not good enough to carry the putrid offense to the playoffs. Mark will struggle, not because he is not capable, but because he has horseshit around him, and he is not good enough ( as most QB's are not) to carry the horseshit around him. Mark will be gone. Then what? Tebow? God, please no. Draft another QB? Great, lets wait 5 more years. My biggest beef with Rex, even more than his dumb mouth, which you completely under represent what he said, is the fact that he has not done right by Sanchez in order to develop him.
Pretty much where I am. Although my annoyance with anything Bradway has me over the top on Tannenbaum since I see the same old stupid shit happening again and I believe that Tannenbaum is enabling it.
No, THIS is what's stupid. You are assuming the season is lost after preseason game two with 3 out of our top 4 WRs out against one of the best D lines in the league and think it's the coach's fault that we couldn't make plays down the stretch last year with an injured and shell shocked Sanchez. We sucked in 2 preseason games with multiple injuries, including our #1 by far receiver. The only issue we have right now is RT. Holmes playing in the slot can help counter this. Thinking our offense is going to suck based on those games is asinine. I didn't under represent shit. Please provide your evidence if you wish to accuse me of that crap. Talking doesn't win or lose games, playing does. You are OVER representing what Rex says and acting just like friggin Rich Cimini. 2011 was a quiet year for Rex, compared to 2010, but again, you base your opinions on the media articles, not the actual press conferences and plays on the field. Rex isn't in charge of developing QBs. That would be Shotty or Callihan. Plus saying he didn't develop is silly. He improved last season, despite having a bad year in turnovers. He increased his total TDs by 12, red zone efficiency, completion pct, QB rating, despite having a turnstile at RT, no deep threat and WRs that couldn't get open as a result. If Sanchez continues this play and cleans up the turnovers, he'll be in great position. Rex doesn't provide the talent, he has to put it in positions to succeed. Tanny brings in the talent, so blaming Rex for that is like blaming Woody Johnson for Cromartie muffing a kickoff return. Sorry, I don't see you as a Jets fan. What team do you really root for? Rex is one of the BIG things we've done right in recent times. Not acknowledging it, and bashing him doesn't change that, and neither does one off year.
I'm done arguing with u, ur a moron. Arguing with morons is a losing proposition. Unfortunately, u will see I am right about Rex, hopefully u will be a man and eat ur crow, but u will probably be a little bitch.
I'd rather the Jets go for the best player on their board than draft for need. Unless you're picking high and getting a blue chip talent at pretty much any position I really don't like "drafting for need" because you end up reaching or worse getting a bad fit Trading down is ideal too but if there isn't a deal worth making its best to go back and take the bpa on your board.
