Rex doesn't want Captains on the Jets

I'm sure that played a role too

 

The Jets organizationally have a hard time admitting their mistakes and moving on from them. This is just another example.

 

huh? it sounds to me like Rex admitted his miatke and his correcting it immediately.

 

No, the mistake was naming Holmes. Instead of admitting that was a mistake, and by extension making the organization look bad for his foolish contract, and naming a real leader captain, Rex is just taking his ball and going home. "We don't need no stinking captains."

I expect the fat guy to show more leadership than that.

 

The naming of captains to the fans and media is nothing but nonsense. he had a system where he didn't name them, for 2 years we were very successful. last year he changed it up and it didn't work, he quickly realized it was a mistake and changed back. There's nothing wrong w/ what he did.

 

No, he didn't realize that he made a mistake in picking captains who weren't worthy of being captains. He never said that. He implied that picking captains in the first place is a mistake, which is not true. Teams have had success while picking season long captains. This is a reactionary move where he is acting like there is an either/or with no in between. The in between being picking real leaders to be captains, not scrapping the idea altogether.

 

The players know who the leaders are, they don't need a coach to tell them.

 

Is that a response to my post? I am unsure...

 

Yeah, I think it's silly to make something out of this. The mistake was naming captains last year, he corrected that this year.

 

No, naming captains last year was the policy. Naming Holmes a captain was a mistake.

Switching back was not a correction, it was an avoidance.

The only way you can say naming captains is a mistake is if you can find some sort of evidence to find that it leads to hindered performance. Good luck

 

The players know who the leaders are. BB lets the players on each unit pick the captains.

 

Not that this really means anything

But on espn they said under Rex Ryan the Jets have a .632 record without captains, and a .500 record with captains.

 

Funny to watch people try to make this into an issue. Fuckin' offseason.

 

What non-Jets fans are making this an issue? It's 95% Jets fans that are debating this.

 

Where did he say it was non-Jets fans?

 

thats not true, im almost positive there are other teams without a C on their jersey. Like Tom Brady doesn't have a C

 

Sure he does, that's where he keeps his tampons.

 

lol. the steelers and the bengals don't have captains as well.

why is everyone making a big deal as if the jets are the only team not doing it? some people on this board are way too pessimistic and try to argue with rex/FO on everything

 

Thread over.
