Wow as far as following me around and trying to bother me, you are trying your hardest. I know internet vendetta's are fun and make you feel big............. bravo buddy. I use the word fellate alot because I find it incredibly funny that people have to go back in time dig up one of the 100's of threads they made and literally blow themselves over some prediction or statement they think is of Einsteinian or Nostrodamus proportions. Perhaps you are not intelligent enough to figure it out, so why not help you comprehend the point of using the word "fellate". Oh yeah I know the need to tell me you are not into guys really seals the deal............congrats on being a self-confirmed Heterosexual. Feel better? As far as replying to Football knowledge. I have no problem with you imparting your knowledge to the board or replying to a post of mine like this. I would be happy to debate this issue with you. I think dumping Pete Kendall was right. He was close to being cut on several occasions and got a freaking raise the year before. He was a decidedly mediocre player. When he decided to air his dirty laundry in public he should have been shown the door. He got his stinking 1 million in a upfront bonus the prior year and was crying about nothing. He knew going public and being a thorn in the side of management was going to end up in one of 2 ways, a trade or a reworked contract. This is a guy that to date has gotten dumped by 3 teams. What is there not to understand about him? I contend where the Jets fucked up is in the replacements not in replacing him. Yes this management team fucked up with Clarke. However keeping Kendall was not an option and a 4th rounder for him is a freaking steal. For the record I have no idea what LG would have been better all I know is this FO should have been prepared for Kendall to pull this BS as it is his extensive history of doing so.
i have no vendetta's to score, i was replying to the guy i agreed with, which was not you. to say i'm not intelligent enough to understand the meaning of the word, and then try to justify your reason for using it is your business. to me it sounded like you unwrapped your christmas present and got a brand new webster's. and by the way, not all of the uses for the word are for predictors. on the subject of football we didnt have to initiate the down fall of our offense(or atleast a major part of it), this season for the million bucks. anybody on this board knew kendall wasnt a long term solution, but keeping him until we have a better replacement is logical. mangini was obviously power triping and showed an important member of our young line the door. stupid move no matter how much you defend it by using kendall's past. clemens got knocked on his ass today by mangini and the front office, not adrien clark and his inabilities. if clemens was the next manning or brady, and his career was suddenly ended, would the stupid million have been worth it then?
I posted that right after the play where Seymore ordered the Ribs for breakfast. The loss of Kendall has a impact on the offense as a whole and all people talk about is that he wanted more money. The $$$ was worth it! All the D'Brick fans are using Kendall as an excuse for his play..Pretty convenient. So are the Penny Haters..Convenient also. Is it true? YES. We cannot draw a conclusion on Clemens' progress because he has no time back there. That goes for TJ also. Yet, when it comes to Penny it doesn't apply. What pisses me off around here is the double standards people use when it comes to a player they hate. Fact is this, Kendall leaving hurt our progress on the Offense as a WHOLE because of the QB, RB and the Help to the 2 rookies around him, (Now 1 year). BOTTOMLINE: It has hurt more than it helped to pay a 34yr old guard who can still play extrememly well an extra Million bucks.
I will skip/ignore the illegible first part as I am past even replying to that utter nonsense. Really? because Kendall did so well against Seymour? He is the exact opponent Kendall was worthless against. Seymour has owned Kendall for the last few years. I know it was the $1,000,000 that was the sticking point, not the clubhouse lawyer trying to cause dissension among the team and in the press that caused his undoing. Sorry but no business person I know would keep an employee around like him. In fact almost every business person I know (I know quite a few successful ones) that would have given him his walking papers faster then he can whistle dixie. I do not see how this is such a difficult concept to grasp. Power trip? He was the head coach and it seems they had a few private discussions to air out the grievances that Kendall took public. If Mangini was on so much of a power trip why on god's green earth did he have meeting with Kendall to assuage his misgivings in the first place? He would have just flipped him the bird and said "fuck off" ................... As that is a power trip.
Spot on Tee , getting better with age old man :wink: I suspect that alot of these haters do it purely because of his Boston connections , as purile as that sounds I'm afraid that that may be the case.
Anyone see Portis and Betts run right behind Kendall tonight, and their whole right side of the line sucks -- sound familiar? They also ran all over us by following Kendall. Also I noticed that we could've made an offensive line probably better than ours with former Jets that played in Sunday night's Skins/Giants Game Randy Thomas Kareem McKenzie Pete Kendall Jason Fabini
I would hardly use Portis and Betts as glaring examples of how good Pete Kendall is. Portis: 280 1082 3.9 Betts: 78 285 3.7 Jones: 264 963 3.6 Leon: 59 281 4.8 The numbers are not that far off and the Jets O-line stinks. Sorry but the numbers just do not back up these claims. That is even taking into account the monster game against the Jets. Washingtons primary RB's rush totals thru 14 games: 358 rushes for 1367 yards which equals 3.84 yds. per carry. The Jets primay RB's rush totals thru 14 games: 323 rushes for 1244 yards which equals 3.85 yds. per carry.
Stats don't always tell the whole story. Piling up yards in non-crucial or garbage situations will stlil affect this total, but if you watch two teams trying to establish a running game, everyone will tell you the Skins run the ball better than Jets and that it's actually a factor. For instance, against Cleveland we racked up a bunch of yards late in the game that had no significance in us setting up the running game or setting a tone as us trying to run the ball. If we can run the ball effectively, we can maybe open some things up in the pass. Today we ran for 90 yards on a 5.4 YPC. Looks decent on paper but anyone knows who watched the game knows we had absolutely no threat from the running game. The skins only had 4.4 YPC tonight against the Giants, does that mean our running game was more effective than theirs? Maybe point isn't as invalid as you think
I don?t care if he wanted a Million or a Dollar more. The way he "asked" for that raise, was unacceptable and he had to go. Getting a 4th for him was a pretty good job by our FO.
He was owed it and shouldn't have has to ask for it in the first place. God help us if we need players to help us out by restructuring their contracts.
This whole issue of Kendall being worth the $$ is part of a larger story that lays at the foot of the front office. At the very least, the guy would have been worth the $$ to continue w/this onfield coaching of Mangold & D'brick. Clearly, these 2 guys have taken steps backwards in their development. If anyone suggests the team would have been playoff bound w/Kendall --- that is nuts. But the front office didnt have a contingency plan, nor did they have a replacement ready. That is why the story just keeps coming back.
it doesn?t matter what he wanted, if he deserves it or anything, what matters is the way he handled that situation.
OMG the thread that never dies.. I guess its understandable considering if we had Kendall right now we would be resting up for the playoffs instead of looking forward to the draft. Pete Kendall = God
The Kendall crying is bad on so many levels. It's both reactionary and short sighted. I'm seeing a lot of that on this board these days. Really disconcerting. It's no wonder a lot of the better posters have left. They've been chased off. In any event... 1.Kendall was an aging player. Good franchises don't give million dollar extensions to older, declining players. 2.Our running game was terrible last year. It's not as if we're talking about Steve Hutchinson. I don't think any team that's as ineffective as we were running the ball should be giving out reward contracts to players over 30. 3.Guy has a record of being a big mouthed distraction. It's why Denny Green tossed him from Arizona. The simple reality is Kendall (and Faneca) both saw lots of mediocre guards signing big money contracts and wanted to get their piece of the pie. 4. I am sick of hearing this on-field tutor stuff. It's not as if we're talking about a middle round project. It's the o-line coaches job to make sure these kids have proper technique. They're first round players, they shouldn't need an extra coach. They have to sink or swim on their own. -X-
If the 4th round pick we got for him turns out to be a starter at any position,.........then the Pete Kendall thread will officially die.
The one thing that we are going to agree on is how infantile the whole episode was , and to coin a phrase from the playground , "they started it..." I and many others would have done exactly that Kendall did , but around here it seems that the blinkers are on and the FO's shit doesn't smell too bad. Yeah because we had LGs busting down the door to want to play on the Jets. Just the thing we need, undermine a second year LT with a muppet playing alongside of him , good work.
