    Do you want more examples? Cause' I've got plenty, and all it takes is for me to sit and watch in horror, followed by mspaint skills being applied.

    There's a good chance that was McCairens over there. I wouldn't throw to him either. I think the defensive game plan was actually to ignore him and double Coles with Cotchery out.

    We also smashed the Lphins that day.

    Yes, that was McCareins at the top of the screen. Better an incomplete than a sack, but you never know with McCareins. He could tip the ball and bobble it until a defender comes.

    Brad Smith, Coles, and Baker were on the bottom.

    Ok... What a dangerous way to approach the QB situation.

    1. If it means anything to whoever wrote up the stuff above: Matt Ryan had a career 59.6% completion ratio, much less than Kellen Clemens. So does this mean Kellen Clemens will be a better QB down the road? HA!

    2. Erik Ainge almost beats Kellen Clemens in all facets of stats. Should HE start? Yeah. Right.


    That means one thing - STAY AWAY FROM OREGON - which Mangini and Co. obviously didn't do.

    Cherry-picking the right kind of example to bolster the case, I see. How about Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco? Or while we are at it, how did Ben Rothelisburger fare? It all depends more on the situation - teams that is - more than the individual alone.

    If I could write up garbages like this to get paid, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    lol, it took 1 second from him dropping back for the phins to sack him. I can't say I blame him for not throwing to jmac either.

    Of course it isn't hard for you to find mistakes. I don't see how one would expect a QB to not make mistakes in his situation, especially in their first year. Even good quarterback can look terrible when they're on a bad team. He played much better than Pennington behind the same line and did make some beautiful plays; that along with the fact that he was able to win at all on that team shows he has some potential.

    That's absolute horseshit. Number of starts and completion percentage are the only things to consider when judging college QBs? Not TD/INT rate? Not mechanics? Not level of competition? Not character? The list goes on.

    Judging by those boundaries, Dan LeFevour is a better QB prospect than Peyton Manning was.

    I just hope the Jets give the job to someone on the roster and don't go garbage picking with a Leftwich or a Garcia. Any QB after the Favre disaster will be either an upgrade or the opportunity to find out if the QB of the future is on the team or not. Drafting a QB would be a mistake. Then the Jets would have 4 young QBs and only 1 ball. Draft for defense, run the ball on offense and give one of the kids a chance.

    Agree 100%. I don't care who wins the job, just let it be Ainge, Clemens, or Ratty and not some old dude. I'm sure one of the kids will be better than any scrub we pick up via FA.

    RIGHT.team...How many members of Clemens Oline are still playing football?

    3.


    Team. get it ?...

    Lets look at that picture differently. How did 2 Time DIVISION WINNER Chad Pennington perform, behind the same line? Better, or worse?
    You're not even writing out crap as poorly thought out as that....

    The truth is, Ratliffe will likely head into camp as the favorite.

    It was actually about two seconds. He didn't drop back that fast and was staring down the pass rush and didn't see the receiver completely uncovered behind them. He does this funny sumo-squatting stance right before getting sacked, it's actually pretty humorous. Like I said, I have a decent amount of Clemens' games, I can show you all the great Clemens moments, though a lot of them require video to truly appreciate them.

    You just don't get it, do you?

    The original posting kept mentioning how Peytong Manning sucked, Donovan McNabb sucked and all that to say "Hey, Kellen isn't all that bad!" I am just saying "What a way to look at the situation, eh?" I will not disagree with you on what kind of atrocity Clemens had to play behind. That's a fact.

    Did you read it? That's not what it said at all.

    Why are Jets fans so goddamn cynical about Clemens? I can understand being skeptical, but why wouldn't you want to give a second round draft pick a real chance before we give him the boot and start back at square one. God knows how many draft picks this team has wasted and how many players we've cut loose only to turn into all stars on other teams. Why don't we just see what we have first? Give him the chance to play on a half decent team in a game that matter before we talk about signing another teams' reject QB, please.

    There is little doubt that Clemens will get his shot to start, but we have to bring a rookie to at the very least compete.

    If Clemens works out, we have trade bait, if he doesn't, we have a backup plan.

    I'm withholding judgment on Ratliff until I see more of him--a range of throws against different defenses.

    I'm not blindly making excuses for Clemens, but it looks as though the receiver is not looking at the quarterback, which means that he has not made his cut yet. It also looks as though the outside backer on the top is blitzing, which means that a long pass play and poor blitz pickup could very well end up as a sack.

    Now, Clemens should have recognized the blitz and have the receiver run a short route.
